Countess Luann de Lesseps, 61, has revealed her preferred New York City destinations for maintaining her well-being, emphasizing the importance of wellness for her stage performances and public appearances. The "Real Housewives of New York" star shared her go-to locations for a variety of treatments, from detoxification to fitness.
For lymphatic drainage, de Lesseps frequents IMD Health and Wellness on the Upper East Side, describing it as "the most amazing place for detoxing and just feeling refreshed." She particularly recommends their Brazilian signature lymphatic drainage treatment, a $325 one-hour session that includes an infrared sauna and a lymphatic massage. The treatment is promoted for its benefits to the immune system, cellulite reduction, and body contouring, with de Lesseps noting it "cleans your system out."
When it comes to anti-aging injections, Velour Medical is de Lesseps' choice. She credits founder Dr. Michael Kennis for her "camera-ready look," with filler prices starting at $1,000 per syringe. De Lesseps also engages in what Kennis calls "Frozen Forehead" parties, sometimes bringing fellow "Real Housewives" stars Sonja Morgan and Kelly Bensimon for treatments aimed at maintaining a "natural, refreshed look."
De Lesseps finds respite at the Mandarin Oriental Spa for massages, calling it a "beautiful, calming space" to unwind. Her preferred treatment is the therapeutic full-body massage, which costs $275 for 50 minutes or $385 for 80 minutes and includes access to the spa's amenities like the amethyst crystal steam room and vitality pool.
The Korean-inspired bathhouse Juvenex Spa is another favorite for relaxation, offering a 24/7 experience that de Lesseps enjoys for its "couples experience" options. Their Basic Romantic Couples Getaway package is priced at $435 and includes a private soaking tub, steam, sauna, and a Korean-style scrub or massage. She describes the experience as "heaven" and very rejuvenating for the skin.
For facials, de Lesseps trusts Irena at Skin Studio by Irena, particularly her $350 signature HydraFacial. This treatment uses products from the Japanese skincare line Forlle'd and includes dermaplaning and a head and neck massage while clients relax on a crushed stone chakra mattress. She also opts for Irena's Factor Five Chemical Peel for her chest and hands, a "no-peel-peel" designed to renew skin with minimal downtime.
De Lesseps maintains an active lifestyle, engaging in yoga, tennis, and pickleball, and often creates her own outdoor workouts. Barry's Bootcamp is a long-standing favorite where she participates in full-body run and lift classes. She also works with celebrity trainer Isaac Boots, known for his Torch'd classes, which are offered through pop-ups, retreats, and online. De Lesseps' gym essentials include Roar Organic drinks and raw almonds, and she favors Lululemon and Alo activewear.
