The Science of Looking and Feeling Great
They say confidence is the most beautiful thing a person can wear. It’s a poetic expression that captures an essential truth: how we look profoundly influences how we feel, and vice versa.
Spa treatments have tapped into this junction of aesthetics and fitness for millennia using massage, heat, the healing powers of water and essential oils to improve circulation and oxygenation to rejuvenate. It’s utterly wonderful, yet the fact is we’ve come a lot further.
In the 21st century, experienced medical doctors are teaming up with highly trained aestheticians and taking personal renewal in new directions with FDA-approved techniques that complement the relaxation of a spa day, turning it into a glowing new phase of self-confidence.
Citizens of the world are known to fly 24-hours just to experience the Forbes Five-Star rated OH! Spa at Ocean House, and The Preserve Sporting Club & Residences, just miles away, shares the distinction of having its only sister spa on the planet. Only a handful of resorts worldwide have such top-notch spas.
Among these elite, Oceanside Medical at The Preserve now offers a spa experience unlike any other.
A New You for 2022 With everyone needing the ultimate spa getaway in 2022, The Preserve is taking the entire concept to another level, introducing Oceanside Medical to OH! Spa at The Preserve. Set deep in the lush woods of Richmond, Rhode Island, it’s the supreme retreat for mind-body health. Guests can relax and rejuvenate in luxury at the Hilltop Lodge at The Preserve and recover from their procedures while surrounded by nature.
Oceanside Medical at The Preserve is supervised by Dr. Kristina McAteer, an amiable and highly experienced physician who in recent years is devoting more of her focus to wellness, restoring a feeling of youth and bringing out an inner youthfulness that clients need help revealing.
“For years there have been yoga retreats or meditation retreats, and while that may be helpful for the mind and body, it doesn't offer the aesthetic aspects of health,” McAteer says.
Oceanside Medical unites the pleasures of outdoor life with the medical-grade spa treatments known to improve not only underlying health and wellness, but outward appearance—and confidence.
Inspired by her work at Oceanside Aesthetics, her aesthetic medical practice in nearby Warwick, Rhode Island, Dr. McAteer is offering a thoughtfully curated selection of medicalgrade spa treatments from peels to injectables, including:
•CO2 Fractional Laser that removes 50% of your dermal layer with a 10-day recovery for a new 15-year younger you • Trimlaze Lipo (a minimally-invasive laser body contouring treatment for fat loss/ lipolysis) • Blepharoplasty procedure combines subdermal radiofrequency energy with our Agnes device as well as radiofrequency and ultrasound energy on the surface we can shrink herniated fat pads to regain the natural shape of the eye as well as tighten the skin to help lift sagging lids and minimize under eye circles. • Clarion IPL (intense pulse light) for skin tightening, vascular lesions, pigment reduction • Reviva laser skin resurfacing, a form of “photo rejuvenation” for tone and laxity • Hydro Spa MD for medical grade microdermabrasion-like facials using hydrating serums • Microneedling and radiofrequency for skin tightening and pigment correction • The AQUAGOLD system employing goldplated needles to stimulate collagen production • IV nutrition under medical supervision
Dr. McAteer’s favorite medical-grade treatment of late is the EMSCULPT NEO system using High Intensity Focused electromagnetic energy to tighten and sculpt loose skin, and to build muscle with non-invasive pulses that have transformative effects for those needing a lift.
“I'm very committed to providing a whole body of experience,” she says. “What we want to do is work with metabolism, physiology, dietary choices, meditation and more, helping you build healthy habits that go into daily choices, allowing you to live your most optimized life.”
It sounds flawless, and it is just that. All of this is available now from Oceanside Medical at The Preserve.
Your Time to Shine With two exhausting years behind us and beautiful weather embracing New England for what promises to be the best season in a long time, guests are planning much-needed spa getaways.
Clinton Cox, Spa Director of OH! Spa at The Preserve, notes that spa packages and experiences are reaching a new level of personalization and customization this spring and summer so that guests of the sumptuous Hilltop Lodge—where the spa is located—can be totally immersed.
“We try to think outside the box and create experiences,” Cox says. “Our guests who come to the Preserve not only want unmatched activities and spa, but they also want an unforgettable experience.”
Guests can create their personalized spa retreat, enjoy dining on the breathtaking terrace from delicious healthy choices at the White Birch Café, and never leave the hotel if they wish.
As experiences go, Oceanside Medical at The Preserve is that rare combination of something enjoyable that is also extremely good for you. From services that made OH! Spa a destination for globetrotting glitterati, to new Oceanside Medical treatments that bring out hidden youth, guests booking a weekend at Oceanside Medical depart totally revitalized and ready for the good life.
