Beauty starts from and within

Skin is the body's largest organ. While it benefits from cleansers and moisturizers, internal nourishment helps collagen and elastic production.

Anyone into skincare will know the best regime is to address both external and internal skincare needs. With that in mind, few brands are as established as Imedeen.

Developed by Danish healthcare company Ferrosan, tons of clinical, in vitro and double-blind studies have proved Imedeen's efficacy. With celeb fans like Dannii Minogue and Naomi Campbell, there's also our Ah Jie Zoe Tay flaunting her flawless face.

So how does Imedeen set itself, apart from the rest, you ask?

It's all about Biomarine Complex, an ingredient rich in protein and polysaccharides to improve our dermal supportive tissue. Derived from a deep-sea fish species, the Complex is such a closely guarded secret that few know the name of the fish, says However, Imedeen pampers its customers with a 1,194 sq ft boutique at swanky Palais Renaissance, steps away from the likes of David Gan's Passion Hair Salon and DKNY.

The holistic experience includes facial, mani-pedi stations as well as a chill out lounge where champagne and juices flow freely. Workshops from skincare to wine appreciation are also available.

The Derma Scan is also a unique feature of the boutique.

An ultrasound probe is used on the forearm, which is the most sun-exposed part of the body. Collagen and elastic appear on the computer screen as orangey-black areas, with the epidermis layer (skin surface) represented by a black line.

An even distribution of the black line's width and orangey-black spots indicate healthy, youthful skin while white patches indicate sun damage. To track skincare progress, customers can undergo complimentary scans between three and six-month intervals.

Imedeen is not a magic pill but with all the scientific research and after sales care, attaining supple skin is made much easier.
