What is AMAN Spa in Toronto About?
AMAN Spa blends therapeutic expertise, personalized care, and luxury relaxation in a boutique setting, making it a standout choice for those who want both results and rest, compared to more generic facials or standard massages at other Toronto spas. It’s especially well-suited to guests seeking treatments that feel both transformative and tailored rather than cookie-cutter.
AMAN Spa's Approach to Treatment.
Continual Research and Development
At AMAN Spa, we are always looking to improve our treatments and pack as much good stuff in each treatment. This means that our founder, Thomas, is continually searching and experiencing various treatments and modalities all over the world, and bringing the very best back to AMAN Spa Toronto. We aim to make each treatment at AMAN Spa the very best - the best massage in Toronto - the best facial in Toronto- and the best selection of effective treatments in Toronto.
Use of Best Products
Not only are we always looking to improve our existing treatments and introduce new ones, we try and use the best product for each treatment. This means that we will use a massage cream rather than oil as a medium when possible. Or we use a face serum rather than oil for face massages. The goal is to make sure you get the very best and most from your time at AMAN Spa.
Use of Effective Tools
Just like with the products we use in our treatments, we are always looking to use tools that make our treatments more effective and bring with the added benefits. For example, we use LED red-light as part of contrast therapy to add gentle heat to the skin. This is meant to increase circulation and relax muscles, but it also has added benefits of stimulating the proper functioning of your cells.

What is LED therapy?
LED light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to gently target the skin’s surface without excessive heat or downtime. Different light settings are selected to support goals such as calming visible redness, helping clarify breakout-prone areas, or encouraging a smoother, more radiant appearance. The treatment feels warm, relaxing, and completely painless. Red light therapy can be used as contrast therapy to increase circulation or cosmetically to increase collagen production. Blue light is often used for cosmetic purposes to reduce blemishes.
What is micro-current?
Microcurrent uses very low-level electrical currents — often described as “exercise for facial muscles” — to gently stimulate and tone the face. The sensation is subtle (sometimes a faint tingle), and the goal is to support a more lifted, refreshed, and energized look while maintaining natural expression. Results are cumulative and often used in series.
What is Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS)?
Electronic Muscle Stimulation uses controlled pulses delivered through the skin to activate targeted muscles. In facial and body treatments, EMS is used to encourage firming and support muscle conditioning in a precise, non-invasive way. The level of intensity is fully adjustable, and the therapist ensures it remains comfortable while still effective.

What is a Massage?
A massage is a hands-on treatment designed to relax the body and ease muscle tension. A trained therapist uses smooth, controlled movements — and comfortable pressure — to help release tight areas and support overall relaxation. During your session, you’ll discuss any areas of concern, then lie on a comfortably padded table while you’re draped for privacy. The therapist applies oil or lotion so their hands can glide easily, working gradually to soften tension and calm the nervous system. Pressure is always adjustable, and communication is encouraged. Most guests leave feeling lighter, looser, and deeply relaxed, with a sense of calm that can last well beyond the appointment. BOOK A MASSAGE NOW
What is Lymphatic drainage?
Lymphatic drainage is a gentle, rhythmic massage technique that helps encourage the natural movement of lymph — the fluid that carries waste away from tissues. Using light pressure and slow, sweeping motions, the therapist works to reduce the feeling of puffiness, support relaxation, and promote a sense of lightness in the body. It’s soothing, non-invasive, and customized based on your comfort. BOOK LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE NOW
What is Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage?
Brazilian lymphatic drainage is a specialized style of lymphatic massage known for its sculpting approach. It uses slightly faster, more defined movements to encourage fluid movement and create a more contoured, de-puffed appearance, especially through the abdomen, waist, and legs. While results can feel noticeably lighter right away, the technique remains gentle and respectful of your body’s natural rhythm. BOOK LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE NOW
What is Gua Sha?
Gua Sha is a traditional technique that uses a smooth stone tool to glide over the skin with light to moderate pressure. On the face, it helps release tension, soften the look of tight areas, and support a feeling of lifted, refreshed contours. The slow, sweeping motions can be deeply relaxing while encouraging healthy circulation and a calm, soothed complexion.
