The body desquamation treatment at Shosho Beauty Spa and Body Works is a full body exfoliation service that removes dead skin cells for softer, renewed skin. Desquamation is a technique used in our facials, and this treatment applies it to the whole body for clients whose skin is dry, flaky or overdue for renewal.
The treatment is performed in a private room at Abraham Plaza, Utako, for women and men.
Renewal for the Whole Body
Steam softens the skin first. Dead cells are then removed across the body with extra attention on knees, elbows, heels and anywhere the skin has thickened. A hot wash and moisturiser finish the treatment. The difference is felt immediately and seen within days as the renewed skin settles.
Pair It With Polish or Bath
Body desquamation prepares the skin for a body polish, a herbal bath ritual or a skin toning treatment. Appointments are required, and we are open Monday to Saturday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.

A client review
"The deep tissue massage with appropriate oils was so soothing and I had to go again and again. I recommend Shola to anyone that needs a relaxing, healing massage with the associated steam bath. Very soothing. Keep it up, Shosho"
