Men's Spa Treatments on the Rise

While typically a day of spa-ing was more female focused, new trends are showing that men want in on the action. Spa Finder Wellness' annual Spa and Wellness Report has named men's spa treatments as one of the top trends to watch in 2013. 

Here's a look at some of the spas that are offering spa treatments that are strictly for dudes.
