The Chinese meridian treatment is based on the Chinese meridian theory of "energy pathways" in the body, handed down through history to balance the "chi" through 12 meridians.

From head to toe, the whole body benefits from the percussive and kneading movements.

Tension, pain and stress disappear to be replaced with a feeling of energy and peace.

After stimulating the body's circulation, the therapist switches from kneading movements to soothing and relaxing Swedish massage techniques.

Fei Fei Xiang uses aromatherapy based on Western fragrance studies to calm and balance the energy in the body through a systematic method of relaxation and restoration. The spa's therapists treat a maximum of three customers per day, to ensure the most thorough and attentive service.

"The spa provides unique, customized therapies, all guided by our philosophy of respect and consideration for the client," Huang says.

The experience begins with a therapist analyzing your physical condition and preference for the treatment.

Customers can choose from a choice of 14 essential oils, such as rose, ginger, bergamot, frankincense, and grapefruit.

For body treatments, one can choose the Chinese meridian treatment combined with aromatherapy massage.

For example, the immune energizing treatment includes an aroma shower, foot bath, meridian treatment and an aroma therapy massage.

It focuses on certain meridian points to form a protective system, while at the same time relieving tension and rebalancing energy.

Skincare treatments combine advanced techniques, expert advice and the Dermalogica skin care system.

For years, dermalogica's formulas have pioneered new standards for product performance.

All products are non-comedogenic and do not contain any occlusive mineral oil or lanolin, irritating artificial colors or fragrance, or any drying SD alcohol or formaldehyde.

Fei Fei Xiang is one of the only two spas in the city providing professional dermalogica facials. Each service is designed after a detailed consultation to ensure maximum benefit, optimum skin health and complete relaxation.
