Services
Clinical Skin Therapy
Advanced Body Image provides customised clinical skin therapies using scientifically tested products and equipment. Our qualified dermal therapists address concerns like acne, ageing, and pigmentation through evidence-based protocols. Treatments combine advanced technology, such as the VISIA skin analysis system, with hands-on expertise to deliver measurable improvements in skin health and appearance.
Laser Hair Removal
Our laser hair removal services offer long-term solutions for unwanted hair using precision technology. Treatments are tailored to skin type and hair colour, ensuring safety and efficacy across body areas. Clients benefit from reduced hair growth after multiple sessions, with options for both permanent and semi-permanent results.
Hammam Spa Ritual
Experience Australia's third traditional Hammam steam temple at Spa Lotus. This Turkish-inspired ritual includes exfoliation, steam therapy, and massage in a mosaic-tiled sanctuary. Designed for relaxation and detoxification, it accommodates singles, couples, or groups of up to six in a serene, soundproof environment.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting eliminates stubborn fat through non-invasive cryolipolysis technology. Targeted cooling crystallises fat cells, which are naturally expelled by the body over weeks. Results appear gradually, with visible contouring in areas like the abdomen, thighs, and back, requiring no downtime.
VISIA Skin Analysis
The 7th Generation VISIA system provides comprehensive digital skin analysis, mapping surface and subsurface conditions. This multi-spectral imaging identifies concerns like wrinkles, pigmentation, and pore size, guiding personalised treatment plans. The 30-minute consultation includes expert interpretation by certified dermal therapists.

After the Northern Territories first lockdown ended on Friday I called ABI wanting to book a last minute treatment (Steam temple and 60 minute massage) at first they didn't have any time that suited my availability however within 30mins they had a cancellation and rang me straight back. Communication is top tier. I booked my desired treatment at the requested time.
Saturday was my last day visiting Darwin so i wanted to have my treatment and then go straight to the airport. I arrived at the clinic on Saturday a few minutes early as requested, not long after filling out some consultation forms

4 and 1/2 stars. A wonderful experience. The Spa massage was lovely. The staff are professional accommodating and work at a high standard. The rooms were very clean. The decor was stylish and modern. I felt very pampered and very relaxed.
Suggested area of improvement is the post massage relaxing spot. It was not very relaxing. I would suggest clients are offered a quieter place to sit post massage.

The training adverts on the TV were too loud, could be muted or exchanged to relaxing visual images ans music instead. Perhaps consider a more dimly lit, relaxing, less clinical space after Spa treatments

I've had an enjoyable experience every time I have visited Spa lotus. The girls are friendly and welcoming. I had my eyebrows and lips tattooed by Katy and she is the best. I absolutely love what she has done, I would definitely recommend her for cosmetic tattooing. She knows her stuff and is an absolute pleasure to be around. I was looked after well and the experience was as relaxing as it could be. Great place, clean, professional and experienced staff. I am planning my next visit already.

The best place in Darwin! You WILL see the results. I've experienced both the clinic and the spa. The staff is professional. Yuki is great for the massage. Brooke and Adeline do the best face treatments. And Katy is a truly outstanding woman. If you would know how much international studies she's done and experience and knowledge she has, you would be shocked. She's mostly doing the clinical treatments. The consultation is free :)

My daughter and I had a wonderfully relaxing Indulgence Day Spa Package. Our masseuse were very attentive and professional. We both thoroughly enjoyed our indulgence and thank Katy & the her staff. Just one little aside for future clients; explain that they will need extra knickers to wear home after having the steam experience, or alternatively you could supply disposable knickers. We'll be back next time we are up north. THANKYOU.
