NEW DELHI | 24 JULY 2026
Pema Wellness Retreat, the luxury doctor-led wellness retreat set within Healing Hills in Visakhapatnam, has announced the launch of two new wellness programs to mark International Self-Care Day. The Hair Vitality Boost Program and the Facial Skin Renewal Program will be introduced on 24th July and will be led by Dr. Muthu Murugan, Chief Acupuncturist at Pema Wellness. Both programs are designed to help guests slow down and give the body the rest and restorative attention it needs to heal itself.
International Self-Care Day is observed globally on the 24th of July each year to draw attention to the everyday choices that support long term health. At Pema Wellness the day carries added meaning. The retreat has built its philosophy around the idea that true healing begins when the body is given the right environment to restore its own healing mechanism. The two new programs extend this philosophy into two areas guests frequently ask for support with: hair and scalp health and skin renewal.
The Hair Vitality Boost Program is a holistic response to hair fall thinning and scalp stress. Rather than treating hair loss on the surface the program looks at root causes such as poor scalp circulation, nutritional gaps, hormonal imbalance and everyday stress. Guests undergo a combination of therapies aimed at strengthening hair roots, improving scalp nourishment and supporting the body’s natural growth cycle. Over the course of the program guests can expect reduced hair fall, stronger roots and follicles, improved scalp circulation, nourishment and shine as stress levels ease and hormonal balance is supported.
On the other hand, the Facial Skin Renewal Program takes a similar inside out approach to skin health. Instead of relying on invasive procedures the program combines natural therapies and personalised care to work on circulation collagen production and hydration from within. The aim is to help guests look refreshed while supporting the skin’s own long term resilience. Guests can expect a natural improvement in glow skin tone and texture along with support for collagen and elastin production that helps reduce fine lines. The program also improves hydration elasticity and circulation to the face so guests can maintain vibrant skin without turning to invasive procedures.
Both programs are personally overseen by Dr. Muthu Murugan who brings 23 years of experience in Naturopathy to Pema Wellness. His approach blends acupuncture psychology and natural aesthetic protocols and is rooted in non-invasive healing and energetic balance.
“Hair and skin concerns are rarely only skin deep. In my experience they are often the body’s way of signalling deeper imbalance whether that is stress, poor circulation or an overworked nervous system. These programs are built to work with the body’s own energy so that what shows up on the outside reflects real healing happening within,” said Dr. Muthu Murugan Chief Acupuncturist at Pema Wellness.
“Self-care is often mistaken for indulgence when it is really about giving the body permission to rest and recover. With these two programs we want to remind our guests that looking after your hair and skin is not separate from looking after your overall wellbeing. It is part of the same journey towards balance and restored energy,” said Spandana Director Pema Wellness.
With the addition of the Hair Vitality Boost Program and the Facial Skin Renewal Program Pema Wellness continues to build a catalogue of guest journeys that go beyond aesthetics to address the root causes behind how the body looks and feels. For guests dealing with hair thinning stress related concerns or tired dull skin the programs offer a structured and doctor-led path back to balance.
As International Self-Care Day is observed this year Pema Wellness hopes the occasion serves as a gentle reminder that rest is not something to be earned but something the body needs regularly. Whether through a dedicated program or a few quiet minutes set aside each day self-care remains one of the simplest ways to stay connected to one’s own wellbeing.
