The 40-year-old singer, who recently confessed to having tried Botox, has spent two seven-night breaks at the SHA Wellness Clinic, in the Sierra Helada Natural Park, during the past six months.
The News of the World newspaper in Britain said the singer indulged in a range of treatments, including a $6000 facial, and was fed a macrobiotic diet to help her body's ongoing recovery from cancer.
"She loved it here and sees looking after herself inside and out as a wise investment," a clinic source told the newspaper.
"She had six months of chemotherapy after her cancer was diagnosed and this clinic not only allows her to hide away so she can have beauty treatments but also makes sure her body is healthy too.
"She had lots of massages and hydrotherapy treatments, but Kylie was there for the macrobiotic food and rejuvenation therapies."
Minogue, who has been dating 31-year-old Spanish model Andres Velencoso, ate a diet of raw fruit, vegetables and brown rice during her stays and signed up for the "integral facial rejuvenation" package.
The facial is designed to help smooth "expression wrinkles" and return "the healthy and young appearance to the skin". The treatment involves a patient having their own blood platelets injected under the skin to help stimulate skin cells to produce collagen, elastin and retain water molecules.
"It is not cosmetic surgery but the effects are amazing," the clinic source said.
However, Minogue's wrinkle-free skin and diminishing facial expressions have raised questions over whether the star has gone under the knife to hold back the years.
While she claims she hasn't, Minogue told Elle magazine this month she has tried Botox. She said she no longer has the cosmetic injections because of her 2005 breast cancer battle. -- AAP
