The Scotsman Spa is the urban Flagship for Thalgo in Scotland. Thalgo is a marine brand and their philosophy is to draw on the riches and power of the sea for their extensive range of facials, spa rituals and body treatments.
Challenged with sourcing the very best products for the spa, our team has searched high and low to find the pearl of all therapies. A little gem was uncovered found deep in the sea called Thalgo. ‘Thalgo’ are experts in Marine Cosmetology and Spa Therapies.
What does this mean? They have developed the expertise to harness the powerful riches of the sea; oligo-elements, amino acids, proteins, and vitamins. Top quality ingredients are used, such as marine actives, plant extracts and high-tech ingredients from natural sources. A haven of tranquillity, it is the perfect place to relax.
Daydream in the relaxation room or enjoy chilling out in our suspended bubble chair. A new traditional Chinese treatment element has been added, allowing clients to explore techniques used to balance and harmonize the chi within the body.
