For those of us who like a facial now and again might want to try the same for the legs - AKA a lacial!

The Chuan Spa at The Langham in Melbourne is now offering this innovative leg treatment which will give your lower body a complete overhaul before the summer. The “Lacial”  is a one hour treatment that cleanses and tones giving full leg exfoliation,  massage and moisturising.

If the “Lacial” isn’t for you then you can always try from 40 other treatments offered by Chuan Spa.
