You could easily be mistaken for supposing that 'Dii' represents the Thai word for 'good', since this facility is all about goodness and being good to yourself, in every sense. However, it actually stands for 'Divana Integrated Innovation', the very DNA of the company that has presented Thailand with multiple Divana Spas, spa retail products and now Dii Wellness Med Spa.
Feeling and looking your best is the essence of the Dii treatment menu, combining both traditional and natural ingredients and techniques, together with modern and sophisticated remedies and technology. All of these elements conspire to generate a real sense of wellness, relaxation and healing at Dii Wellness Med Spa. The difference between previous award-winning Divana Spas and this new brand and location is not only that it is the first and only spa-type outlet in Bangkok's latest luxury mall, Central Embassy, but that it seamlessly blends aesthetics with traditional spa treatments.
Set foot inside Dii, and you are immediately transported to a small, yet perfectly formed modern oasis, on the 4th floor of the mall. DNA spirals adorn floor to ceiling and comfortable seating allows you to relax into your pre-treatment consultation. "From the moment our clients enter through the doors, we want them to feel welcome and relaxed in luxury, as a lasting sensation for body and mind, long after they have left," assures Pearl Ranuraksa, Divana Director, and they certainly have this craft perfected.
There are three exclusive signature treatments, all taking inspiration from the sea, namely the 'Empress of the Sea', 'Andaman La Lunar' and the one specifically tailored for men 'Ayurvedic Black Marine'. These, the most indulgent of all spa treatments available, range from 240-300minutes and cost from 15,500-22,500Baht+. Regardless of your choice of treatment, you are welcomed with their lightly-sparkling, blended honey, lemon and butterflypea cold drink with starfruit, soothing gentle music and warm hospitality.
A free afternoon would be no better spent, than allowing yourself to be spoiled with the comprehensive Andaman La Lunar package (270mins/18,500Baht+), for body and face, with scrubs, peels, steam and massage. It is a gently flowing journey of wellbeing and ultimate pampering, set to activate luminousity from head to toe. Although four and a half hours seems like a recipe for restlessness to some, time just slips by easily with the wide array of procedures and the particular design the package.
You are led into the hidden treatment area, and before entering for the first time you're invited to close your eyes and take a step guided by the spa receptionist. Upon opening your eyes again you are confronted with the serenely calming sight of dotted teardrop turquoise light-pendants and small box candles, softly glowing in a shimmering black expanse, created by an optical illusion of mirrors. You truly feel as though you have stepped into the depths of the ocean, or are floating among the stars of the night's sky, as the sensory scene is perfectly set and here you meet your spa therapist.
Escorted to a seat in your private room, the treat begins with their Ashiyu Foot Therapy, which is a rock salt, lime and rose petal scrub for feet and lower legs. Horizontally installed on the heated spa bed, first the white pearl glowing body scrub sloughs away dead skin cells, prepping your skin for the detoxifying aromatic steam, which opens up the pores, before you take a shower to wash away all the impurities. Next is the O2 Hydradermabrasion Sensitive Peel, which is usually reserved for facials but is equally effective as a body exfoliation to remove the top layer of skin and reveal a healthier-looking shine. Imagine a firm blast of oxygen tempered with a dispersed water jet. This further opens pores and helps make the skin more receptive to the impending oils and nutrients to be applied, such as the Juventide Concentrated Body Collagen Marine Enzyme Mega Boost Body Mask, containing Andaman peptide serum, massaged in to stimulate circulation. Then, while enveloped in the Detox Infrared Body Cocoon, you have time to contemplate just how utterly wonderful life, at that moment, is…
After a second shower, you are served hot tea with cinnamon and mini scones, as a brief break before you take on the task of round two of treaments, which switch their attention to the face. The facial goes through various steps of bio-detox cleansing, microdermabrasion for peeling, Juventide Immortal Mesotherapy to improve elasticity, acupressure detox and a unique aquamarine ice stone facelift treatment for skin tightening. The final stage is Placenta Thermal Rejuvenate Mask, which moisturizes and brightens the skins. Dii recommends this treatment before special events and occasions, where you need to look your radiant best, such as for brides to be. Yet, the simple truth is that this should be enjoyed, whenever you need a lift and want to spend some time being good to yourself, or if you purely want to spoil someone special in your life, as a thoughtful gift.
The epic spa journey ends with a ginger and safflower hot tea and the chance to pre-book your next appointment for one of their other magnificent treatments. The only quandary is which to choose and when your next availabilities are. Dii Wellness Med Spa offers both wellness, medical and anti-aging therapies (as the name suggests), with everything from Botox to fillers, scar reduction, allergy tests, body check-ups, detoxification, acupuncture and body shaping, as well as a whole host of other spa treatments and products.

Dii Wellness Med Spa appears to have mastered a fine blend of oriental wisdom, natural ingredients and modern technology, and will also soon be launching a new small range of Dii-branded facial products, to the same philosophy.
Dii Wellness treatment prices start at only 2,200 baht for a 70 minutes facial treatment.
