It is the frenzy and the incessant rhythms of Milan that make it a stimulated city. Waking at dawn to accompany workers to the office, radiating productivity throughout the day and never sleeping so the night walkers can enjoy thousands of attractions that only she, an international and cosmopolitan city, can produce.
Tireless and attractive, being able to keep up with her is extremely challenging. This is why it is so important to carve out time to take of oneself. Not only for the momentary sensation of pleasure that comes with getting a massage or an exfoliation treatment, but for the feeling that accompanies us long after having left the treatment. In the days to follow, our rejuvenation instills good humor in us, allowing us to perform better in whatever activity we choose to dedicate ourselves to.
With that being said, here is our selection of the best beauty centers in Milan: wellness oases and regeneration temples, where stress and daily worries are strictly forbidden. It is a universally recognized truth, dedicating attention to your body will also be beneficial for your mind.
We excluded listing spas associated with the popular hotels, because we will discuss those in a separate article. Here, we focused on the most intimate Wellness centers, where we imagine the Milanes go when they are in need of regeneration, in absolute serenity, in a familiar and friendly environment.
Let yourself be enveloped by the atmosphere: sip an herbal tea, adapt your thoughts to the rhythm of the background notes while the smell is delighted by the fragrance that permeates the environment.
Making an appointment at your wellness center is a ritual, and as such requires adequate preparation.

To combat blemishes, they propose radiofrequency, pressotherapy and microdermabrasion; those who want to eliminate the extra pounds, instead, can choose the lipolaser. On the occasion of summer, you know, you need to move ahead: this is why from Montenero 8 they studied different packages, and we recommend the Silhoutte 3 (saline bandages, lipolaser and pressotherapy, to combat blemishes effectively and totally). The Viola package is for those who feel the distant holidays, but want to present themselves at their best, even if in the office: they offer pedicures and manicures with semi-permanent products.
SALON DE BEAUTÈ
Via Victor Hugo, 4
In Milan, the most common habit is to arrive at appointments at the scheduled time, if not slightly late: because the metro was late, the parking lot was not found and the other thousand impediments that those who live in the capital know well. But from SDB it is proposed to customers to arrive 10 minutes earlier, to be able to relax in the dedicated areas, and enjoy the chosen rituals. It stands out for the wellness area with thalasso, to allow time surrounded by scents and aromas, radiofrequency, the magic touch to rejuvenate, zero fusion, to streamline effectively, skin control, a highly technological and specific system for each type of skin.

BAHAMA MAMA
Viale Col di Lana, 1
The Milanese beauty addicts love it for the nail bar: but behind this concept store of beauty there is much more. A corner dedicated to food, the possibility of buying creams and cosmetics, including good music and magazines to browse. In addition to the highly appreciated manicures and pedicures, they offer services for the face: anti-age, illuminating and smoothing; to get the most out of wellness, we recommend combining an oriental massage. Are you a wine lover? If in addition to drinking it you also love to smell it, treat yourself to a face-body oil and wine treatment: wrapping yourself in the enveloping fragrances of these two elements, you will gain a velvety and compact skin. For epilation, choose Sugar Wax based on lemon, water and sugar or Brasilian, which uses the properties of avocado butter.
