We thought we had seen it all when Kim Kardashian bloodied her mug during a "vampire facial" on Kourtney and Kim Take Miami– until Gwyneth Paltrow took to Goop to recommend "vaginal steaming." Vaginal steaming, as explained by Paltrow, involves sitting on "mini throne" (I guess she's outgrown her pedestal?) that wisps a moist cleanse up one's lady parts and "balances hormone levels." As expected, the internet exploded on Paltrow, with experts shooting down her claims. Still, we were intrigued; the heat has to feel kind of nice, no?

With Miami being a mecca for age defiance and aesthetic aspirations, we had to know where local ladies could find such unconventional treatments and create verdicts for themselves. After unraveling Miami's best brain boosting spa treatments, we poked into fitness centers, cosmetic facilities, and spas to find the most out-of-the-box beauty tactics and body boosters in town, including the headline-producing vampire facial and Goop-approved vaginal steam.
