THE MOTHER OF ALL SPAS
Ever wish you could get a facial, a workout, a pregnancy massage and an ultrasound, all under one posh roof?
Vancouver's very first luxe ultrasound facility providing 3D and 4D (video) non-diagnostic ultrasounds has landed on 16th and Granville.
While not just for expecting mothers, at Som Visao Urban Ultrasound Spa and Wellness Centre there are skin care products targeting hyper-pigmentation, belly "facials" to prevent stretch-marks, circulation-boosting leg treatments and pre-and post-partum fitness training.
Plus the whole family can enjoy the bonding experience of watching Ultrasound Entertainment Imaging in the adjoining suite, catching the action on a plasma screen TV (from $135 for 20 minutes) and even recording your own music from your iPod on a take-home DVD ($15).
Just be prepared to have your mother lecture you on her barefoot and pregnant days…without so much as a lick of pink polish.
