Term Definition
G5 Massage
A very deep mechanical massage that assists the breakdown of fatty tissues, and is good for thighs, hips and buttocks.
 
Gastein Cure

The Gastein Valley has been famed for its thermal springs where the water, which originally seeped into the earth more than 3,500 years ago, re-emerges with a temperature of 42 to 46 degrees. The healing effect of the thermal water is based on the inert gas radon. Radon is absorbed by the body mainly via the lungs and through the skin and serves to boost metabolism and stimulates the body’s own immune system. The warmth provided by the thermal water also sees a significant increase in blood circulation which leads to improved oxygen and nutrient supply to the individual cells of the body.

 
Gestalt Therapy
Meaning "the whole picture," Gestalt therapy seeks to resolve incomplete or conflicting gestalts within a person to enable one to be more fully aware and enlivened in the present moment.
 
Glycolic Facial
This breaks down the glue bond that holds dry skin on the face then creates a rapid exfoliation to soften lines, reduce age spots, control acne, improve complexion and revitalize the skin.
 
Golden Needles
The use of acupuncture applied to the face as an anti-wrinkle program at Clinic La Prairie. The insertion of golden needles re-stimulates blood circulation, re-intensifies the strength of relaxed muscles, and tightens up the face again. A natural alternative to a surgical face-lift.
