What gay man doesn’t love a good facial?
Anything to help slow the effects of aging, sun damage and giving side-eye to hypocrites and morons.
So when we were invited in to the recently opened Alive and Well Dallas, a gorgeously appointed med spa import from Austin, we jumped at the chance. (Or slowly lept a few inches off the ground—remember, we’re getting old!)
Offering a host of traditional spa services, including massages, facials, waxing and injectables, Alive and Well also specializes in a variety of cutting-edge technologies and longevity programs.
On our first visit, we took a meditation and breathwork class with a few other journalists and influencers.
A few weeks later, we returned to try the Alive and Well Signature Facial. It was one of the best facials we’ve ever had and we can’t wait to get another one. You can also opt for a Gent Facial or upgrade to a stem cell facial to really tap into the Fountain of Youth.
You can join Alive and Well as a member for as little as $189 per month, which includes unlimited access to the sauna, gender-specific hot/cold plunge and the tranquility lounge with incredible views of the Katy Trail—and all the hot shirtless guys therein. For $249 per month, you’ll get all of those perks, plus one wellness service each month, whether you prefer a facial, massage or other service.
They also offer $59 day passes if you wish to treat yourself to multiple moments of Zen.
Check out Alive and Well soon to look your best for the upcoming holiday season—or milestone birthdays you’d rather not acknowledge.
