Welcome to What I Learned, Maire Claire’s monthly report on the most transformative treatments, devices, and innovations in aesthetics. Here, our editors candidly share their biggest takeaways post-procedure.
There is nothing as delightful as a relaxing massage. Calming essential oils! Skin-softening lotions! Human touch! However, the challenge with these treatments, especially in a bustling city like New York, is that it’s nearly impossible to secure an appointment with your favorite masseuse. You must book far in advance, which can be frustrating, especially when your schedule is inconsistent. There's also no middle ground between seedy reflexology studios (No shade! Some are great) and upscale spas that charge an arm and a leg to massage your arms and legs. And more importantly, I'm forced to speak with my massage therapist. Most places allow me to decide my communication preference before enjoying the experience, but for me, even engaging in small talk before, during, and after is exasperating. That is until I stumbled upon the robot massage.
