What are exosomes?

Released by all the cells in the body, including skin cells, exosomes are tiny membrane bound vesicles that live in the spaces between cells. They contain important genetic material, proteins like cytokines and growth factors, lipids and peptides. Their main function is to act like messengers, communicating with unhealthy cells and instructing them to regenerate and work optimally—as they do in young, healthy skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing process and in turn helps improve tone, texture, firmness and overall skin health.

How does the Needleless Exoxe Skin Booster work?

Exoxe is an exosome product that contains billion particles of extracellular vesicles that are of the best quality, and in large quantities. These exosomes cannot be absorbed into the skin on their own and hence need to be injected or delivered via mesotherapy. At illumia Therapeutics, we use S.E.P or Skin Electroporation technology to deliver the exosomes to the deeper layers of the skin. This needleless technology is ideal for those who don’t like needles or who generally appreciate a non-invasive treatment with no downtime.

S.E.P technology works by using mild electrical pulses to disrupt the cell membranes and create tiny channels in the skin to allow for optimal absorption of the exosomes. In fact, S.E.P technology has been clinically proven to improve absorption by up to 17 times, making it an extremely effective treatment compared to topical applications. Completely non-invasive, the skin barrier is left intact and there is no redness or irritation, which means there is no down time. There might be a slight prickly sensation as the microcurrent works on the skin, but it is tolerable even without the use of numbing cream.

How does this treatment benefit your skin?

As we grow older, our skin cells start to deteriorate and in turn, exosomes dwindle leading to wrinkles, fine lines and sagging. When the Exoxe solution is delivered to the deeper layers of the skin, the exosomes get to work signalling older exosomes and dormant skin cells to repair and strengthen themselves. The growth factors and cytokines in exosomes trigger fibroblasts—the major producer of collagen and elastin—to generate more collagen and elastin resulting in a host of benefits including improved texture and hydration, enhanced wound healing, a strengthened skin barrier and decreased pigment production. Plus, exosomes have anti-inflammatory benefits which also help slow down skin ageing. All of this results in skin that is radiant, firm and smooth. And you will be able to see all these benefits within two to six weeks of your first session.  

Who is it for?

This non-invasive treatment is perfect for those who cannot tolerate needles. It is ideal for all skin types and for anyone looking to combat signs of ageing, boost moisture levels and achieve radiant, glass skin. It’s also great for those who have had other skin treatments like lasers as it speeds up skin healing.

And that’s what most people see: gorgeous, fit, picture-perfect faces and bodies that we have helped maintain. The fact is, anyone can achieve these aesthetic goals if you’re willing to put in the time and effort. Our celebrity and influencer clients who have the best results are the ones that show up for every session and maintain a sensible diet. To prove that our technologies and treatments work on just about anyone who has a goal and is willing to work towards it, we set up the Real People Real Results program that showcases just how well our treatments work on everyone.

The first people to enter this program were Joyce, Diana and Gale. They worked with our extensively trained and experienced therapists and our cutting-edge technologies to achieve their body goals. They came to us two to three times a week for two months and aside from getting body sculpting treatments, they also ate healthily and stayed active. All three of them were able to see results. Here are their stories.

Joyce

Joyce found out about illumia Therapeutics via social media and came to us in early 2023 for an intensive two-month body sculpting program. She had already tried extreme dieting in an attempt to attain her body goals postpartum but the banking professional felt her core area still “remains huge” despite her best efforts to reduce inches. “I felt a bit tired because I’ve put in a lot of effort to get my body into shape, but couldn’t see any results,” Joyce says. Not only did this affect her confidence when it came to dressing for her role at work, it also made her less confident at work.

After a thorough consultation Joyce was recommended a combination of thermolipolysis and cryolipolysis sculpting treatments. Joyce loves that “all the treatments are very comfortable, you just have to lie down and the therapist will do their job.” But she is especially happy with the results of her two month customised treatment protocol: a visible reduction in inches on her belly, waist and hips. “When I dress up I can definitely feel my dress is big for my size now,” says Joyce adding that she would recommend illumia Therapeutics body sculpting treatments to anyone who has tried various other methods without any success. “What I really liked about this journey is that it is minimum effort from my end and maximum results on my body,” says Joyce.

Diana

“My time with illumia was definitely very enjoyable, most of the treatments, I didn’t feel any pain,” Diana says of her intensive two-month body sculpting programme at illumia Therapeutics. Diana, who is in her early 40s loves to dress up, but says “she cannot fit into the pretty clothes she likes and sees” after having a baby. And while she did consciously try to maintain a diet and exercise to reduce her tummy, her efforts were unsuccessful.

Diana’s treatment protocol included fat reduction with both heated and cooling body sculpting treatments. “I enjoyed more of the cold treatments. There was some initial shock, but it was very, very bearable” she says. Because Diana enjoyed every one of her treatments with us and saw results she says she would recommend illumia Therapeutics body sculpting treatments to anyone who has concerns with their body. “By doing these treatments you can actually enhance your results of whatever you have been doing, like diet and exercise,” she explains.

Gale

Thirty-year-old Gale came to us in the hopes of addressing her areas of concern which were her tummy and love handles. She also wanted to firm her postpartum body. Before coming to illumia Therapeutics, she had tried other body sculpting treatments but wasn’t happy with the less than obvious results. “I was finding it challenging to fit into my body-con dresses,” say complains, adding that by coming to illumia Therapeutics she hoped to firm her postpartum body, achieve a smaller waist and less obvious love handles.

Keeping Gale’s body goals in mind, she was recommended both fat freezing as well as fat melting body sculpting treatmentsas part of our intensive two-month body sculpting program. According to her, each treatment was “not a very long process and it saves me time from exercising at home. The most I do now is climb stairs.” Since her sessions with us, Gale has been able to fit into her old clothes and has become more confident. “I would describe my experience at illumia Therapeutics as effective and efficient,” says Gale happily.

But first things first, here are some good-to-know tidbits:

1. Fat cells are extremely sensitive to temperature, and these treatments take advantage of the fact and target them with very high or low temperatures to destroy them.
2. illumia Therapeutics has a variety of body sculpting treatments to help you achieve your body goals. We recommend that you go for a consultation with our experienced therapists to find out the right treatments for your concerns.

Technology: Fat freezing treatments like the Cooltech 360 IceSculpt help to reduce fat by safely cooling the targeted area to very low temperatures to destroy the fat cells. These cells are then naturally eliminated from the body via the lymphatic system. Cryo Fat Freeze on the other hand, uses thermal shock therapy that first heats, then cools and once again heats the targeted area. Not only does heating at the targeted area destroy fat cells, it also helps to improve the lymphatic drainage to help with elimination of destroyed fat. This means you’re likely to see results right after your first session.

Here goes:

Down time after each treatment: After a fat freezing treatment, you may sometimes notice redness or slight tenderness of the muscles that could take some time to resolve. Some individuals may also experience side effects like muscle soreness, bruising, swelling, numbness and cold burns. You’re unlikely to have any major side effects with Cryo Fat Freeze other than some localised redness and maybe slight numbness because of the cold, both of which subside very quickly. Of course, each person is different and each individual will have a different experience, but the treatments are largely safe with low down times.

Treatment duration: A normal fat freezing treatment can last anywhere from 30 to 70 minutes. However, depending on the treatment, the machines and the available handpieces, you may be able to target more than one area during a single normal fat freezing treatment session. And your next session could be three months later.

During each 30-minute session of Cryo Fat Freeze, you’re only able to target one area at a time. However, you can go back for session every 10 to 15 days.

Comfort level during the treatment

Fat freezing treatments combine a suction function along with extremely low temperatures to destroy the fat cells. Some individuals find the low temperatures quite uncomfortable and the suction to be slightly painful. Cryo Fat Freeze on the other hand, doesn’t have any suction so that immediately makes it painless and the low temperatures mixed in with the heating make the treatment a lot more comfortable.

Suitability: who can get these treatments?

Our therapists will do a thorough consultation to determine your suitability for a body contouring treatment. Since the normal fat freezing treatments use suction and cold temperatures, any individual looking to get regular fat freezing needs to have at least three centimetres of pinchable fat for the suction vacuum to adhere properly. Cryo Fat Freeze doesn’t use suction so even slim people who have a generally healthy lifestyle but want to target stubborn fat are eligible for this treatment.

That’s why I especially love our newest Easy Shape treatment. In just one hour, not only will you get a gentle, relaxing massage that improves your overall wellbeing, it will also reduce fat, tackle cellulite and improve skin texture. I thoroughly enjoy my sessions. And once you hear about how it works, you will want to try one too.

What is Easy Shape?  

The newest addition to illumia Therapeutics, it is a non-invasive, all natural treatment that has anti-ageing and silhouette shaping benefits. It uses the combined technologies of Roboderm, LED Light and Laser to destroy fat cells, reduce cellulite, stimulate collagen production, treat skin blemishes, improve lymphatic function, reduce water retention and boost overall well being. It can be used for a full body treatment including on the delicate skin around the eyes, face and neck and is safe for all skin types.    

How does Easy Shape work?

What sets Easy Shape apart from other treatments is the patented Roboderm technology that performs Multi Micro Alveolar Stimulation (MMAS). What’s that? It’s essentially like a six-hand massage, but much better. Using dimpled rollers that also have a suction function it can perform up to 21,600 micro stimulations per minute to effectively stimulate the subcutaneous tissue. This helps to optimise the lymphatic system, destroy fat cells, boost circulation and help combat water retention. That’s why it’s one of my favourite treatments to get every time I get off a flight. It tackles my sluggish lymph while also busting stubborn pockets of fat.

In addition to Roboderm, it also features LED Therapy and LASER. The LED helps to rejuvenate skin by stimulating collagen production by working on the fibroblasts. It also further helps to release lipids from fat cells, while LASER also helps destroy fat cells at the deepest layers of skin.

What are some of the benefits of getting an Easy Shape treatment?     

The beauty of Easy Shape is that it combines wellness and beauty treatments, targeting stubborn fat and cellulite while improving your overall wellbeing. I always leave feeling more balanced after each session. Here are some of the other benefits  

Body contouring: Lipolysis is triggered as the mechanical rollers along with suction go over the skin releasing lipids from fat cells at the deeper levels. This fat is then naturally eliminated through the lymphatic system.

Improving the look of cellulite: Micromassage stimulation aids metabolic exchange and improves blood flow to improve cellular activity, microcirculation and drainage. Simultaneously LED helps improve skin firmness and texture and together these help improve the look of cellulite. 

Bloating and water retention: It helps the drainage of accumulated fluids by stimulating the lymphatic system and encouraging lymph to return to the bloodstream and be eliminated naturally.

Improved circulation: The micromassages reach the deeper layers to improve blood circulation and drainage of fluids. As the subcutaneous layer and skin are also stimulated, it helps increase blood flow to the tissues thus improving oxygenation.

Skin tightening: Improved microcirculation at the cutaneous layer helps stimulate the fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin that work as the “scaffolding” to keep skin firm.

Anti-inflammation and pain management: Microstimulation increases microcirculation and oxygenation, which in turn reduce inflammation and pain, and speed up tissue healing.

What does an Easy Shape session look like?

I get ready for my Easy Shape session by first putting on the body suit. It’s extremely lightweight and stretchy, so it can fit just about anyone. The body suit is mainly for hygiene purposes to prevent dirt or skin cells from being sucked in during the treatment but it also ensures that the treatment is comfortable and doesn’t pinch even if you have loose skin or body hair.

My therapist will then do a once over to kick-start the lymphatic drainage and then we move on to areas that I would like to target like my thighs and abdomen where different applicators are used to deliver body contouring and cellulite busting results I’m looking for. I can feel a gentle suction during the treatment as the applicators go over each area, but there is no pain. I like to focus on a few areas at a time so each session lasts about an hour to hour and half.

Who is it for?

This treatment is suitable for all body types and is great for anyone looking to tackle cellulite or get a shapelier silhouette while also enhancing lymphatic drainage and boosting blood circulation for overall wellness. However, if you’ve just had surgery or are pregnant it’s best to tell us so our doctors can determine if you can get the treatment or not. I will usually avoid getting this treatment on my face as I have fillers and the treatment can interfere with those.

How many sessions of Easy Shape does it take to see results?

Depending on your concerns and the results you’re looking for, it’s best to get a minimum of 10 to 15 sessions spaced out one or two times a week.

illumia Perfect V Facial

This non-invasive facial is perfect for the mummy who wants to turn back the clock, while achieving the coveted V shaped face. Using the FDA-approved Prime Sculpt machine along with an illumia-exclusive applicator—that can be used to focus on the double chin and neck—a combination of multiple technologies targets stubborn pockets of fat around the chin and jawline while helping improve the look of lines and wrinkles. Ultrasound wave technology called shear wave, selectively targets and destroys fat cells which are then naturally eliminated from the body. Simultaneously, two types of radio frequency technologies are used to produce thermal deep heating and ablation to trigger the production of collagen and elastin, while strengthening existing collagen. This results in softer looking lines and wrinkles as well as a more defined chin and jawline, tighter, lifted skin for that coveted V-shaped visage.

illumia Crystal Clear Duo Facial

Busy mums who don’t have the time to deep cleanse or exfoliate will enjoy this facial that begins with gentle removal of gunk followed by a rejuvenating ultrasound treatment. The Hydra-Detox Balancing facial is a gentle hydra-dermabrasion treatment that starts with an exfoliating solution of Alpha Hydroxy Acid that helps lift dead skin cells and preps the skin for extractions. This is followed by a solution of Beta Hydroxy Acid and powerful suction that help dislodge sebum, dirt and impurities from deep within the pores without any redness and irritation, making it suitable even for sensitive skin types. With all the gunk out of the way, the skin is ready for a nourishing serum that is delivered via a soft silicone rotating tip to improve absorption and help balance the skin. 

This treatment is followed by illumia Triple Gold Ultrasound Lifting Facial which helps rejuvenate skin by combining three different ultrasound frequencies that result in a powerful ultrasonic wave to deliver micro massages to the upper and deeper layers of the skin. These micro-massages can be used to treat a wide variety of skin concerns ranging from acne and psoriasis to lines, wrinkles, skin laxity and even inflammation and uneven texture. This is because the micro-massages work to inhibit skin-degrading enzymes that cause lines and wrinkles thus maintaining youthfulness of the skin for longer. The micro-massages also help in maintaining a strong and healthy skin barrier, improve hydration and moisture levels in our skin to speed up cellular metabolism and support wound healing.

illumia Cryo Fat Freeze

Reduce inflammation, improve the appearance of cellulite, relieve localised body pain and tackle stubborn fat (if that’s one of mum’s concerns) with this treatment that is exclusively available at illumia Therapeutics. During your session, the targeted area is heated, cooled and then heated again for significant fat reduction. This is known as thermal shock therapy. The improved microcirculation and metabolism help with the continuous disposal of destroyed fat for a leaner look. The alternating heating and cooling process also generates the production of collagen to firm, smooth and tighten skin while simultaneously triggering a series of reactions at the cellular level to achieve a strong anti-inflammatory effect. This also helps reduce localised pain. The whole treatment is completely non-invasive and can be customised thanks to a built-in thermocouple temperature sensor.

illumia Easy Shape

Mums, new mums and even mums-to-be will enjoy this treatment that helps tackle stubborn pockets of fat, reduces the appearance of cellulite, boosts lymphatic drainage and reduces water retention. Thanks to patented Roboderm technology that performs Multi Micro Alveolar Stimulation (MMAS)—which essentially means it delivers a super fast to the deeper connective tissue, which you wouldn’t be able to reach manually—it helps to release excess fluid, boost circulation, stimulate production of collagen and elastin, reduce cellulite, annihilate fat cells and relieve muscular pain. Mums-to-be can benefit from the fluid draining function after the third month of pregnancy when this treatment can be done on the extremities. In addition to Roboderm, the treatment also features LED and LASER that also help to burn fats and trigger collagen production to firm and smooth the skin for overall rejuvenation.

It’s best to get your anti-ageing facial treatments at a medispa like illumia Therapeutics that uses professional medical grade equipment. These devices are all handled by professional and experienced therapists. All the treatments at illumia therapeutics are FDA-approved which is sign of how safe the treatments are. The treatments might come at a cost, but think of it as an investment in your skin. Each client goes through an in-depth consultation after which a customised treatment protocol is mapped out so that they can achieve their beauty goals, according to their needs and timeline. And if you want quick results, here are some of the must-try anti-ageing facial treatments at illumia therapeutics.

Cryo Fat Freeze Facial
Sculpt facial contours, slow the signs of ageing and tackle that stubborn double chin with this treatment. It works on the premise that fat cells are exceptionally sensitive to extreme heat and cold and so the targeted area is alternately heated and then cooled and then heated again to destroy stubborn fat, which is then naturally eliminated from the body. The entire process is completely safe and can be customised thanks to a screen that allows you to see the exact temperature being applied in real time.

During the cooling phase, when the treatment temperature goes down to -8 degrees Celsius, a protein called the cold shock protein—RMB3— is triggered and this puts in motion a chain of chemical reactions at the cellular level that ultimately has an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin. Inflammation is one of the main causes of ageing and controlling inflammation has an antiageing effect on the skin. The difference in temperatures during the heating and cooling of skin also boosts collagen synthesis and promotes production of hyaluronic acid to help firm the skin, improve the look of lines and wrinkles, increase elasticity and boost moisture retention. As a result of the fat loss, the double chin and contours of the face are slimmer and more defined as well.

illumia Triple Gold Ultrasound Lifting Facial

Thanks to a combination of three different ultrasound frequencies that result in a powerful ultrasonic wave, this facial treatment delivers powerful massages to the upper and deeper layers of the skin to tackle a wide range of skin concerns. This could be anything ranging from redness and sensitised skin to wrinkles, fine lines and even conditions like eczema, acne and psoriasis.

The micro massages generated during the treatment work to inhibit an enzyme that is found in the human body and can trigger acne, eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis. It is also known to break down collagen and elastin leading to skin ageing. Inhibiting this enzyme thus helps to rejuvenate skin, delay appearance of lines, wrinkles and laxity to keep skin firm and youthful. The micro-massages also encourage production of a protein in the skin that helps strengthen and maintain the skin barrier. This in turn reduces damage from external environmental factors to minimise redness and inflammation. A stronger skin barrier is also able to retain moisture better keeping skin hydrated, plump and bouncy. The micro massages also work to increase another protein that plays an important role in cell signalling process which in turn speeds up cellular metabolism to support wound healing as well as improve moisture content in the skin. After each session skin is hydrated, glowing, healthier and stronger.

illumia Needleless Collagen Booster

Get all the benefits of the wildly popular Baby Skin Booster micro-injectable treatment without the pain and discomfort of needles. Thanks to Skin Electroporation or S.E.P technology, this treatment is able to deliver active ingredients like PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide), a substance derived from Salmon DNA to the deeper layers of the skin. PDRN is packed with skin nourishing nutrients like polypeptides, amino acids and vitamins which gives it the ability to encourage cell growth and tissue repair. When it reaches the dermis layer of the skin, it works at the DNA level to promote collagen synthesis and rebuild the moisture barrier. This helps improve texture, increase firmness and elasticity as well as smooth the look of lines and wrinkles. PDRN is also biocompatible with the human body, which makes it safer in the long run. It is clinically proven that using S.E.P technology to deliver PDRN to the skin improves its absorption by up to 17 times. This is possible because this technology temporarily disrupts the aqua channels in the skin with the help of gentle electrical pulses. These electrical pulses also help achieve a lifted effect for the face by stimulating the facial muscles—almost like a workout. This technology can be safely used to treat the neck and face as well as the delicate eye area where it really helps to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

What is Cryo Fat Freeze?

This non-invasive body sculpting treatment targets stubborn fat to reduce inches and contour the body using the latest thermal shock therapy. Thermal shock therapy means that the treatment alternately heats, cools and once again heats the targeted area to destroy localised fat without damaging the surrounding tissue or the surface of the skin.

The initial heating phase has two functions. It works to relax and widen the walls of the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, which in turn results in increased blood and lymphatic flow in the area. This increase in oxygen and detoxification is especially important because all the destroyed fat is eventually eliminated from the body via its natural lymphatic system. Heating the area to approximately 42 degrees Celsius also causes apoptosis or death of the fat cells and the lipid content is eliminated. This helps to reduce the volume of fat.

The subcutaneous fat at the targeted area is then safely cooled to a temperature of -8 degrees Celsius, which causes the walls of the fat cells to crystallise and be destroyed. This fat is then eliminated naturally from the body. The area is once again heated for a final time before the end of the treatment. A built-in thermocouple temperature sensor as well as the fact that the entire treatment is conducted with the therapist manoeuvring the applicator at the treatment area makes the treatment safer and more comfortable.

Thanks to the immediate and extreme difference in alternating temperatures, fat cells are continually destroyed and detoxed from the body and the remaining fat cells then condense to reduce the fat layer for a slimmer body contour. A LED light helps to energise cells to regenerate and rebuild tissue, so the skin looks firm after fat loss.   

What are the side effects of Cryo Fat Freeze?

As this is a non-invasive body sculpting treatment there is no down time and you can return to your activities immediately. Those who have sensitive skin may experience some numbness from exposure to the extreme cold temperature and notice some redness, however neither of these conditions lasts for more than a few hours. You’re recommended to drink at least three litres of water, gently massage the area and do simple exercises to improve blood flow and lymphatic flow. It’s also best to maintain a healthy, balanced diet.

Who is it for?
This treatment is suitable for all body types and is ideal for those who want to tackle fat in certain areas for a more sculpted physique.

How many sessions does one need?

The number of sessions varies from person to person as each body type is different and every individual has the treatment tailored to his or her needs and goals.

How soon can you see results?

You will be able to see significant results after the first treatment and you will continue to see further reduction of fatty tissue and reduction of fat volume with subsequent sessions.

Where can you get Cryo Fat Freeze in Singapore?

This thermal shock therapy treatment is the first of its kind in Singapore and is exclusively available at illumia Therapeutics. It is best to visit a professional clinic with qualified therapists to receive this treatment.

Spoiler alert: it’s not as easy as it looks!

Beauty, especially the effortless kind, is pure hard work, and no can vouch for that better than Kim. While we are no stranger to how Kim preps for the party season, getting ready for a glitz and glam high society gala event is a whole different ball game (pun unintended).

When it comes to attending the ICON ball, the beauty prep is essentially a full day affair. Think of it as the homestretch, where Kim adds the final touches from head to toe to finesse her red-carpet look. Thankfully, while Kim works hard, our illumia Therapeutics machines work harder. With a just whack approach, here’s the full breakdown of the treatments she did to look airbrushed irl.   

Facial Lift

Kim started with the VX HIFU PLUS+ Facelift, which helps to target all layers of skin for visible skin tightening and lifting. In fact, this is a “upkeep-essential” for individuals who do HIFU/Ulthera treatments regularly as a form of maintenance between their sessions. Apart from melting fats, this treatment also triggers collagen production improve skin tone and soften fine lines and wrinkles.

Subsequently, Kim moved on to the 3-Step Signature Facial (Version II). For this facial, she first started with the Hydra Clear machine that uses AHAs and BHAs to unclog pores and exfoliate, before replenishing the skin with skin-loving ingredients to hydrate and protect. The next step is to soothe and strengthen the skin with cult-fave, Triple Gold Ultrasound Lifting. This treatment uses a combination of three different ultrasound frequencies to micro-massage the superficial and deeper layers of the skin for firmer, brighter skin. Lastly, it’s the Customised Jet Infusion to deliver that instant, effortless red carpet glow.

To end it all off, Kim used the LUX LED facial with a combination of red and yellow lights to stimulate collagen production and promote skin healing. Kim’s tip: add on the ILLUMIASKIN ALL 1N ONE Mask along with the light therapy to really maximise the effects.

Arm Sculpting

First off, Kim started with Prime Sculpt, which combines ultrasound and RF technologies, to melt stored fats and sculpt the arms. This also helps to stimulate collagen production for smoother complexion and baby soft skin. Next was the Onda Micro CoolWaves, which uses microwaves at a precise frequency of 2.45 GHZ to tighten and firm the arms.

Tummy Slimming

Kim pulled out the big guns for this with our latest Cryo Fat Freeze treatment, which is the first thermal shock technology here in Singapore. The treatment alternates between intense cooling and periods of heating to break down fat pockets and accelerating blood circulation to expel the damaged fat cells. Next, she went for the illumia Easy Shape, which generates 21,000 micro-stimulations to massage the treated area for firmer skin and boost lymphatic drainage.

Leg Sculpting

Kim also started with Prime Sculpt to really get the ‘legs for days’ silhouette. She then went in with Cryo Fat Freeze again to trigger firm the skin and speed up fat loss. She then topped up with RF Body Legacy Sculpt to enhance the sculpting and skin tightening effects. Last but not least, Kim went with the TeslaForte to achieve that perky and toned derrière.

Hydra Detox Balancing Facial
Ideal for oily and acne-prone skin, this facial helps deep clean pores, gently exfoliate dead
skin, restore hydration and rebalance skin. It starts with sloughing off the top layer of
dead skin with a solution of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). Then a solution of beta hydroxy
acid (BHA) along with powerful suction thoroughly cleanses the pores. The small size of
the BHA molecules along with the suction allow for a deep cleanse that removes sebum,
dirt and debris from within the pores without any redness or irritation. The deep
cleansing and exfoliation are so gentle that even those with sensitive skin can opt for this
facial. The facial ends with a nourishing serum that restores the moisture-sebum balance
in the skin. This serum is delivered with a rotating tip for better absorption. After each
session your skin feels balanced, healthy and hydrated.

Perfect V Facial
In this age of social media, everyone—and we mean everyone, men and women—want
to look good from all angles, online and in real life. Men usually have a stronger jaw
structure that gives them better definition. However, over time that can be compromised
with skin laxity as well as a double chin. A double chin is essentially stubborn fat deposits
along with loose skin. But it’s nothing the Perfect V facial cannot tackle. This facial
combines ultrasound, radio frequency and a new type of combined ultrasound
technology to improve facial contours.

The ultrasound specifically targets the fat cells and the destroyed fat cells are eventually
naturally eliminated from the body. Simultaneously, heat from the radio frequency
triggers the production of collagen and elastin to help tighten skin and diminish the
appearance of lines and wrinkles to further slow down skin ageing. The overall effect is a
more chiselled and contoured jawline and rejuvenated skin.

Cryo Fat Freeze Facial
This treatment uses thermal shock technology, which refers to extremely high and low temperatures alternately to non-invasively
target stubborn fat while also lifting, tightening and rejuvenating skin. Used with the anti-
ageing or lifting mode for the face, the cold temperature is able to rejuvenate skin,
improve the look of lines and wrinkles, tackle a double chin as well as firm and tone skin.
A large part of skin ageing comes from inflammation and the cold shock in this
treatment stimulates a specific protein—RMB3 protein— which triggers a series of
reactions at the cellular level that result in strong anti-inflammatory benefits for the skin.
This combats ageing due to inflammation and helps slow the process of ageing. Each
session helps to rejuvenate skin, make deep wrinkles and fine lines less visible as well as
firm and tone skin for a taut, youthful visage.

illumia Cryo Fat Freeze
This innovative treatment uses thermal shock technology, which combines extremely high and low temperatures to non-invasively target pockets of stubborn fat in the body, tighten loose skin, improve the look of cellulite as well as lift skin. Not only can it be used to non-invasively reduce inches and contour the body, it can also be used as an anti-ageing and lifting treatment for the face.

What makes it different from other fat freezing or fat reduction from thermal manipulation, is that it works by alternately heating and cooling the targeted area to reduce localised fat without damaging the surrounding tissue. The targeted area is heated to an extremely high temperature, which destroys the fat cells. This heat also helps improve blood circulation, speeds up metabolism and enhances lymphatic drainage all of which are essential to the elimination of destroyed fat cells. During the cooling phase, the area is safely cooled to an extremely low temperature using a hand piece that targets subcutaneous fat to further destroy fat cells. These destroyed fat cells are crystallised by the body and eventually removed. This treatment delivers impressive results where and can achieve up to 50 per cent reduction from the baseline to 90 days after the treatment. The whole treatment is safe and can be customised thanks to a screen that allows you to see the exact temperature being applied in real time.

When used on the face, the cold shock in the treatment stimulates the protein (RMB3 protein), which triggers a series of reactions at the cellular level to achieve a strong anti-inflammatory effect to combat ageing due to inflammation. The cold energy helps slow ageing, improves the look of lines and wrinkles, firms and tones skin while creating a lifting effect. It also helps tackle a double chin and gives the effect of a facelift.

illumia Easy Shape
This treatment combines the benefits of Multi Micro Alveolar Stimulation along with LED and LASER light technology to treat a variety of aesthetic and rehabilitation concerns.

The 650nm wavelength laser triggers production of collagen and elastin, and improves
venous and lymphatic microcirculation. It also helps with tissue healing and reduction of
inflammation and pain. The 915nm wavelength laser on the other hand helps to reduce
cellulite through lipolysis of the fat cells, which results in improved tone and firmness. It
can also encourages microcirculation that helps with drainage.

The Roboderm technology allows for deep and effective stimulation of the microvacuoles in the connective tissue, and can reach up to 21,600 microstimulations per minute. This makes it a very gentle, yet effective treatment.

Together, these technologies help you achieve faster and longer-lasting results for body sculpting, cellulite reduction and even skin rejuvenation. This treatment also helps improve blood circulation and lymphatic drainage to deliver an overall sense of wellbeing.
