No Pain, All Gain
You thought gold was for baubles? Lake Austin Spa Resort has a different idea.
So you’ve rubbed out your wrinkles with 24K gold. Now it’s time to de-stress with 14K needles. Lake Austin Spa Resort, a blue oasis in the heart of Texas Hill Country, has just debuted Hari at their award-winning spa (no, we didn’t say hari-kari; that would sort of defeat the purpose, right?). A Japanese healing technique developed by blind practitioners, Hari is a refined form of acupuncture that treats the body with gentle pressure, rather than pricking the skin. Lake Austin’s resident acupuncturist Aaron Rubinstein is one of only two puncture pros in the country certified to teach Hari — though he’s probably too busy actually performing the $130 procedure on guests at Lake Austin’s multimillion-dollar, 25,000-square-foot spa. The benefits of Hari — or any style of acupuncture, even — reads like a hypochondriac’s dream: it is said to cure everything from jaw pain to asthma, even infertility. Well, almost everything — for wrinkles, you’d best sign up for Lake Austin’s signature diamond facial.
