An exciting new chapter in skincare and holistic wellness
SENZE Boutique Spa is the refreshed identity of the celebrated and pioneering SK-II Boutique Spa
TWENTY YEARS AGO, CALVIN NG’S keen appreciation for efficacious ingredients combined with pampering treatments led him to found Senze Salus and open the world’s first SK-II Boutique Spa – right here in Singapore. Driven by passion for the product, the seasoned former Procter & Gamble executive conceived an entire spa environment – from treatment protocols to customer experience touchpoints – around the SK-II skincare range.
Fast forward to today, and the man behind the audacious move is again elevating and redefining the luxury skincare experience by introducing a slew of innovative new treatments and rebranding the business – as SENZE Boutique Spa.
“This is a strategic evolution,” explains Ng. “We are expanding beyond traditional SK-II facials to address deeper skin concerns and introducing hair wellness services as well.”
Of passion and progression
His philosophy, says Ng, is “wellness beyond skin deep”. “While SK-II remains at the heart of our facial care offerings, we go beyond products and therapists’ skill and look at other contributing factors that affect skin health to address skin wellness.”
Remaining at the same spacious, 4,000 square foot location in Raffles City, SENZE Boutique Spa now also offers advanced skincare treatments. An example is its Regen Series, which features cutting-edge technologies like cell-based exosomes therapy that can deliver molecules such as proteins, lipids and nucleic acids to repair cells to a healthy state.
The spa has also introduced state-of-the-art technology like transdermal electroporation, a needle-free mesotherapy technique. Instead of injecting active ingredients as in traditional mesotherapy, this painless method delivers potent ingredients, such as cell-based exosomes, deep into the skin for maximum efficacy. These plant-based exosomes work to repair cells, tone, boost collagen production and improve hydration while providing strong antioxidant protection.

Then there are its treatments using magnetic infusion technology, which converts magnetic pulse and electric fields into micro currents to infuse therapeutic serums for skin rejuvenation.
All treatments are performed on the spa’s bespoke Senzational beds, whose mattresses are made for deep relaxation to lower cortisol levels and enhance the skin’s ability to absorb treatments effectively. The spa is also known for investing heavily in a water purification system so the skin receives 100 per cent pure water to maximise product benefits.
Adding to the excitement is SENZE Boutique Spa’s expansion into hair care. Hair Soul by Wee-G is led by Go Chee Wee, a highly skilled hair designer with over 15 years of experience.
“Wee has been my personal hairstylist for more than seven years, and I’ve seen first-hand his passion and talent for crafting hairstyles that truly complement an individual’s personality,” says Ng, adding that Wee’s precision haircuts not only enhance one’s appearance but also maintain their shape longer. “Even our most particular clients are converted into devoted fans after experiencing his expertise.”
Sited within SENZE Boutique Spa, the two private hair suites thoughtfully designed by Wee offer a luxurious, exclusive space for clients to enjoy hair services in complete privacy. The emphasis is on scalp health as the foundation for great hair design and styling, with 100 per cent pure water also used for scalp treatments and vegan-based products for hair health.
The heart of the brand
Ng is understandably proud of how far SENZE Boutique Spa has come and the many long-term relationships it has forged with both customers and staff.
“Over the years, we’ve witnessed customers grow from single professionals to parents, with their children now visiting us for skincare treatments,” he says. “Likewise, many of our staff have been with us since the beginning, growing their careers alongside our journey.”
Indeed, Ng says his staff are the spa’s greatest asset and the heart of the brand. “We invest in their professional growth, create career progression paths for them, treat them like family, and prioritise their welfare,” he shares, noting that the original three of six therapists are still with the spa, where the average staff retention is nine years.
With a valued and empowered team, a consistently high level of service is ensured. This has in turn led to great loyalty in customers, who appreciate the continuity of care and attention to their unique needs and preferences.
Without a doubt, SENZE Boutique Spa’s 20 luxurious treatment suites are also key to its success. From their sophisticated aesthetics, the soothing scent of essential oils, quiet movements of staff and therapeutic touch of therapists to the specially curated refreshments, one is enveloped in complete relaxation and rejuvenation.
Together with the spa’s new, cutting-edge services, those seeking complete solutions for their evolving skin and haircare needs know that dedicated treatments are close at hand. And that, surely, is proof that Ng’s zeal two decades ago will continue to propel the spa’s success for years to come.
