Philly's newest luxury medical spa is nearing completion. The "dream come true" of Ukraine-born skincare guru Sophia Brodsky, Le Reve Rittenhouse Spa will comprise 10 treatment rooms over 3,200 square feet in Rittenhouse Square's Medical Tower. This is a chichi kind of place where a crystal chandelier hangs in the waiting area, which is completed by velvet couches and a wet bar. Walls are decked out in imported Italian stone, hand-painted murals, and water features, and in the aromatherapy suite, 1,000 fiber optic lights adorn the ceiling. Pretty snazzy.

Moving on to the treatments. Signature services off the just-finalized menu include a couple's massage, Himalayan salt therapy (which sounds pretty neat), and a firming facial, the latter of which can be bolstered by a shot of Botox in the medical suite (a board certified plastic surgeon is on the payroll). Also on offer: mani-pedis, seaweed wraps, peels, chromotherapy, aromatherapy, and other services meant to make you feel chill and rejuvenated. Check it out on opening day, Monday, August 25.
