The venue is one of a chain of tanning shops, pretty bog standard.
When I booked a lymphatic drainage massage, having not had one before I was under the impression it was done by a trained person and they would be massaging me in a certain way.
Not quite...I was shown into a small room made to take my trousers off and told to lie on bed, my bottom half was zipped into what I would describe as a bit like astronaut trousers.
I also had a section wrapped around my stomach area.
Tubes led from the suit into a machine which the (not sure what to call her but will say consultant in this case) consultant turned a few knobs and switches and informed me the trouser suit would fill with air and would start to slowly massage my legs/stomach, creating lymphatic drainage.
The suit did fill with air and became tight against my legs and I felt a slight massaging motion.
The experience was a bit weird and I kept thinking how many people have been zipped into this body suit and I hoped they had cleaned it, as the suit was plastic and my legs felt a bit hot and sweaty while the treatment was on.
I was informed by the consultant for it to have any effect I would need to have a few goes and it would be better to have 1 hour treatments rather than the 30 minutes I had.
Honestly - not sure I would do it again there, definitely would find a trained masseur who was a bit more hands on.
I opted for the lymphatic drainage massage and was surprised it was not a hands on massage (which I would have preferred), but instead an inflatable pair of trousers which deflates and inflates sporadically squeezing your legs. I think several sessions would be needed to feel any benefit. However it was a peaceful, relaxing experience and the therapist was very professional.
I actually had the Lymphatic Massage treatment but this wasn't an option in the above. It was OK but I'm not sure how effective it was... I was told to expect lots of toilet visits due to the effective removal of 'toxins' but this wasn't the case.
Spray Tanning and Sunless Tanning
Tried out toning treatment for the 1st time at this salon. Therapists know their stuff & were very helpful to a mere beginner! Do watch out for the inaccurate opening times on the website; I bought a package believing Wigmore street to be open until 8pm. It actually closes at 19:30 daily which was a bit more of a struggle for me to get to.
Despite this I would happily use the place again - friendly and pretty efficient too.

I actually had the Arasys treatmwent at Wigmore Street and had been there before for a course. Don't be put off by the small treatment area in the basement, the rooms are small but perfectly functional and the treatment girls are lovely and friendly and know exactly what they are doing. Arasys is great, a good zapper for the fatty bits which you can fit into your lunch break.
