Letters From The Editors: Oh, Relax
May 1, 2005
And, finally, with its Neuroscope
230, La Fleur Skin Care Systems has moved mobile spa care into the home. This
portable healthy-aging technology is battery powered and smaller than a laptop.
The Neuroscope 230, priced at $2,500, helps you enter a relaxed state in 15 to
30 minutes (www.lafleurfacial.com).
Ear clips channel low-level electrical stimulation, and the accompanying
headband helps balance energy, increase memory and alleviate the discomfort of
menopause and PMS for women. Calculated to the proper frequency, intensity and
duration, the electrical current enables stimulation deep down in the pores and
cells of the skin to allow for greater rejuvenation and better texture and tone.
The Neuroscope 230 assists with pain management, increases circulation and
reduces stress and anxiety.
All of the above-mentioned products tap into our
obsession with eternal youth. But if the spa industry is any indication of
the state of our national health, it won’t be long before in-home spas replace
the dining room. “After all,” observes Trent, “plastic surgery has made such
advances with non-invasive surgery that the scalpel will soon be as obsolete as
the buggy whip.”
