Special Feature: Natural Beauty Through Science

HAVE YOU EVER wished you could take a nap and wake up with the face or body that you want? At Illumia Therapeutics, this is entirely possible and it doesn't involve any kind of invasive treatments or surgery to get the results you want. Instead, you will achieve them naturally, through extensive science-based therapies and medical grade protocols that will safely deliver rejuvenated skin, a sculpted body and optimal feminine care.

A NATURAL APPROACH

At Illumia, the emphasis is on natural beauty, with the goal of making clients look fresher and more youthful in phases, rather than doing too much at one go or going overboard with intensive and invasive treatments.

A personalised approach is the key to Illumia's philosophy, which explains its name. "The 'u' refers to you, the client," says its CEO Elizabeth Leong. "Our goal is to pursue new scientific technologies and protocols to raise the bar on aesthetic care.

That is why Illumia's treatments are based on clinical results and lab-certified ingredients that are safe for long-term use. Combined with stem cell technology in its Hybrid2 Protocol, two or more technologies can be combined to target different skin layers in one session, which saves time and doubles the results. Because each client has different needs, Illumia's consultants are able to design a unique protocol just for you. By combining different technologies, you get the best results and best value for money.

"Beauty is having great skin that looks fresh all the time," says Illumia's brand ambassador Kim Lim, billionaire heiress, mother and entrepreneur. "I've always believed in investing in skincare rather than buying make-up."

If you're tired of looking tired - wrinkles, eyebags, sagging skin - and the multiple treatment sessions required to overcome it, then what you need is Illumia's Face Design, which incorporates different procedures to targets the areas that need work, and correct them subtly with long-lasting results.

One of its star protocols is Dual Ultrasound® FACE, a German technology that uses dualfrequency ultrasound to penetrate deep into the epidermis level to smoothen out fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars and plumps up the skin texture, making it perfect for anti-aging. It's also pain-free and as relaxing as a facial massage as the machine works to push rich serum deep into the layers of your skin, while the therapist's smooth strokes lull you almost to sleep. It also stimulates the production of hyaluronic acid, so when you awake, all tiredness and dullness will be replaced by smooth, dewy soft and glowing skin.

Dual Ultrasound® can be combined with other protocols including Pigment-Poration, which uses SEP technology powered by stem cells to target pigmentation, improve skin texture and minimise pores.

Also effective for sagging skin and floppy naso-labial lines is Collagen Induction RF, also known as Micro-needle RF. You may experience a mild scrubbing feeling on your face as RF energy is delivered deep into the dermis, helping to lift the jowls and tighten the face overall.

Illumia's experienced consultants will help you decide which protocol or combination is right for you, and this also includes fast speed double chin reduction and Illumia Hyfu Ultra face lifting.

BODY SCULPTING

Brand ambassador Xu Bin - actor and celebrity - may have an enviable physique but even he sees the value in Illumia's effective bodywork sessions to keep him in shape.

With Illumia TESLAForte, you can work your glutes, tone your core and sculpt your abdomen without breaking a sweat, thanks to this groundbreaking Israeli technology that uses electrical fields to activate your muscles. "We have gone way beyond fat reduction and skin tightening - to building muscle," says Ms Leong. "You always hear people complain that they can lose weight but it all comes back. That is because they lack muscle. When you have muscle, fat is constantly metabolised by the muscle tissues, even when you are sleeping." Indeed, 20 minutes on this machine is equivalent to doing 20,000 sit-ups. There's no postworkout aches either, as TESLAForte is painfree and also relaxes your muscles.

If you're looking to burn fat and cellulite, Illumia ACCENTForte complements TESLAForte with its FDA-approved treatment which disrupts stubborn fat cells with the help of Ultrasound and Radio Frequency. It treats problem areas like the arms, legs, abdomen and love handles and tightens skin in just 20-minute sessions, with no downtime and lasting results.

FEMININE CARE

Illumia isn't embarrassed to deal with the intimate health issues of women. "We are the first in Singapore to launch FioreCARE - an innovative vaginal health restoration treatment," says Ms Leong.

Studies show that 50 per cent of postmenopausal women suffer from vaginal atrophy which causes dryness and discomfort, while 58 per cent of women suffer vaginal laxity after childbirth. FioreCARE combines Multi-Polar RF and PEMF to improve hydration and increase elasticity. TeslaCARE, like body sculpting, activates and strengthens the pelvic floor muscles. One 20-minute session has the same effect as doing 20,000 kegel exercises, and also helps with urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction.
