Subsequent Ritz-Carlton openings at Bachelor's Gulch in Colorado, Reynolds Plantation in Georgia, Central Park South in New York, the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne Resort and Spa in Florida and the Ritz-Carlton New Orleans in Louisiana have all produced the same favorable reactions.It's no wonder when the "Red Carpet Makeover" Package was announced as the exclusive property at the Ritz-Carlton Spa, Key Biscayne, it drew incredible excitement. Imagine, in just six weeks you can be transformed for that special occasion to the point where the wedding guests will not recognize you nor will Aunt Sadie and Uncle Louie and even the bride groom. This will be a re-enactment of that popular TV reality program where just about everything changes from the teeth, the nose, the jaws, the tummy and just about every part of the face and body without any invasive plastic surgery. It's for all occasions that beg a woman to look her best in less than six weeks. The Ritz-Carlton, Key Biscayne spa professionals work as a well-synchronized dream team to help achieve a tighter tummy, firmer skin, straighter posture, glowing tan, nutritional overhaul and firmer body without painful and possibly dangerous operations. A woman can be transformed to a princess for that fairytale night. It is the "Red Carpet Makeover Package" that sees to it that an individual program is selected for each guest with beauty and wellness treatments. The exclusive agenda begins six weeks out with skin renewal microdermabrasion, revitalizing botanical facials, personal training, nutritional analysis and neuromuscular massage - a specialized treatment that relaxes tight muscles, releases entrapped nerves and restores the body's natural energy by focusing on distressed muscle areas. I understand that essential to the program are "Posture Alignment Therapy" sessions, which use a combination of stretching and Pilate's and reeducate muscle memory. The result should be a taller, more elegant, model-like appearance. The unique program represents a new trend in spa therapy and is an exclusive feature at the Ritz-Carlton, Key Biscayne. A week before the big event, a Chantecaille makeup artist and salon professionals take over to design the glamorous look. It is so great that the whispering can be heard, "When did she have time for the plastic surgery and who was her surgeon to get such a natural look?" Then, two days before the party, a professional airbrush tan is applied for a healthy safe glow; and the day before, the extravagant affair final touches are completed with a signature manicure and pedicure, glowing radiance facial and eye contour, tension buster massage and one hour of personal training to relieve any last-minute stress. Finally, makeup and hair sessions put the crowing touches on the six-week transformation.For more information on The "Red Carpet Makeover," contact the Spa at (305) 365-4158 or by email at keybiscayne.spareservations@ritzcarlton.com.

Adjacent to the Maison Orleans is the Hotel's Spa, which offers new cooling treatments.
