Merging serenity with sophistication, the resort provided a much-needed escape from Bangkok’s bustling rhythm. Here, amidst lush tropical surroundings, Jessica found the perfect balance between rejuvenation and discovery.


WELLNESS RESET


At the Anantara Wellness Center, Jessica chose three advanced, non-invasive treatments to restore balance to her face, body, and mind before retreating to her Riverfront Suite with its sweeping city views.

Icoone® Body

Her wellness journey began with the Icoone® Body treatment—a highly effective therapy that promotes lymphatic drainage, enhances circulation, and accelerates muscle recovery. Using gentle, mechanical stimulation, this technique boosts natural healing without discomfort or downtime.

Hydrafacial

Next was Hydrafacial, a cutting-edge skincare solution that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration in one seamless session. Powered by vortex fusion technology, the treatment visibly improved skin tone and texture, leaving Jessica’s complexion luminous and deeply nourished in under an hour.

Ultherapy

To complete the trio, Jessica opted for Ultherapy Lifting. This non-surgical facelift uses High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin’s foundational layer, resulting in a firmer, lifted, and more youthful appearance.
