At one with nature

Where the last mountains of the Swiss Alps meet the first lemon groves of Italy lie the origins of dipiù – a declaration of love of Ticino’s nature and its power. “di più” is an Italian phrase meaning “more”. Accordingly, the dipiù brand represents more innovation, professionalism and Mediterranean dolce vita. The cosmetics line and signature treatments for the Giardino Hotels were developed by Daniela Frutiger in collaboration with qualified dermatologists and Ticino vintner Meinrad C. Perler from the Tenimento dell’Ör winery. Discover our range of services as well as selected supplements of Aveda and QMS.

Tips for a perfect day at a dipiù Spa

Before your stay

Book your treatment in advance. Arrange a consultation to put together a customized program. Please notify us if you are running late. Depending on the delay, the treatment period will be shortened accordingly. Cancellations can be made up to 24 hours in advance; full payment will be due for no-shows and cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice.

During your stay

Bathrobes, slippers and towels as well as shower gel, shampoo and hairdryers are all provided in the dipiù Spa or your hotel room. For a relaxing start, we recommend arriving ten minutes before the treatment. The therapist must be informed about high blood pressure, cardiac conditions, allergies, diabetes, pregnancy or recent operations.

Using the sauna

For safety reasons and out of respect for other spa guests who want to relax, children under the age of 12 are not permitted to use the gym or sauna areas. For hygiene reasons as well as your own personal comfort, clothes are not to be worn in the sauna cabins, please use a towel.

Ticino’s nature is a thing of splendour, packed with life, expression and natural beauty. These are also attributes that bring out the best in every face and add impact to every look.

Zoner Anti-Aging Trilogy

The Zoner Anti-Aging Trilogy combines Biostimcell, Mesoporation and Radiolift to provide effective anti-aging treatments for the face and body with long-lasting results. The treatment is very pleasant and free of side effects and is one of the best devices in modern cosmetic technology. The aim of the treatment is to prevent skin aging and maintain or renew its condition depending on the age of the skin. The results are a youthful radiant complexion, significant tightening and plumping of the skin, a healthier complexion, refined pores, reduction of wrinkles and the tightening of sagging skin on the body.

• Biostimcell
Photo-biostimulation is used to stop the sagging of the skin. The infrared light specifically reduces wrinkles and is also ideal for the treatment of acne due to its antibacterial effect. The micro-vessels are dilated by the process and the skin cells are supplied with more oxygen.

• Radiolift
Radiolift is a gentle method for smoothing and tightening the skin with an immediate and lasting effect. The depth of wrinkles is immediately reduced and the formation of new collagen is stimulated. Radio waves penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, creating a pleasant, warming sensation. This method stimulates the synthesis of new collagen. As a result, the effect is immediate with the first application and intensifies with regular repetition.

• Mesoporation
Mesoporation uses electrical impulses to introduce cosmetic active ingredients directly into the cells of the skin in a painless, non-invasive and side-effect-free way. This process is unique, innovative and one of the safest methods of introducing active ingredients into the cells.
