About Santé Spa Calgary

Located in Calgary, in the Canadian province of Alberta, Santé Spa is dedicated to "providing medical and spa aesthetics in a soothing spa environment, while setting standards of safety, quality, and hygiene." The 5,000-square-foot spa is situated on 4th Street in the Mission District, just minutes from downtown. There are 13 treatment rooms including medical treatment rooms, aesthetic and massage treatment rooms, a duet suite for couple's services, a manicure area, and a pedicure area with side-by-side pedicure stations. The spa also has a boutique, men's and women's changing facilities, and a guest lounge.

Santé Spa strives to cultivate enhanced well-being and inner confidence by offering full body and facial rejuvenation through non-invasive medical aesthetics and complementing spa treatments.

All medical aesthetics are administered by an experienced medical team of doctors and registered nurses, in accordance with the Quality Assurance Standards of Leading Spas of Canada and the Global Best Practices of the International Spa Association. Dr. Wendy Smeltzer, the spa's medical director, oversees a medical staff of doctors and registered nurses who perform all medical aesthetic services. Aestheticians provide nonmedical and other aesthetic services.

Techniques and technologies are carefully researched and evaluated prior to introduction to ensure clients can benefit from the latest innovations in the world of aesthetic medicine. Medical treatments include Botox®, soft tissue fillers, Soft Lift™, a new cosmetic treatment that uses Botox® Cosmetic and Juvéderm™ together to smooth deep lines and wrinkles, fractional laser skin resurfacing, skin tightening, body contouring, In-Motion laser hair removal, chemical peels, medical microdermabrasion, Intense Pulsed Light treatments, and GentleWaves, which uses light to reduce the appearance of fine lines, and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production.

Spa services complement the results-oriented focus of the spa's medical aesthetic treatments. Spa services range from advanced facials to therapeutic massage and body treatments that can help nourish the skin. Manicures, pedicures, and teeth whitening offer clients a finishing touch to treatments.

I have been to many spas and have many health issues. Sante is the spa that has worked with my health issues and each time I return they take the time to ask and understand if there have been any changes to my situation. Kaytee is the BEST massage therapist I have ever seen.

This place tries hard but it is a rip off. I was put in a cold room and scrubbed quickly and inexpertly by an employee who said not much of anything and let the Vichy shower do most of the work. All for $100. I didn't get the treatment I wanted and felt worse coming out than going in. Santé indeed.

I recently visted Sante Spa for a microdermabraison treatment and was disappointed for the 2nd time in a row. I decided that even after my first negative experience that I would give Sante Spa another chance. The lady doing the service took all of 4 minutes and then charged me $175.00. I felt ROBBED and would never recommend this salon to any of my friends or colleagues. Good reviews are a MUST when looking for a credible spa that is not out to make a fast dollar at the customers expense.
