Where to get glowing skin and a slimmer figure (without breaking a sweat)

Between juggling a jam-packed schedule of endless meetings, family commitments and catch-ups with friends, there isn’t a lot of time left that you can dedicate to regular workout sessions or elaborate skincare regimens.

But what if you could achieve that coveted radiant glow or the figure you’ve been aiming for, all while maximising your time and effort? That’s where the magic of smart beauty choices comes in, because some beauty treatments complement each other better than others. And knowing which treatments go well together can elevate your results, making your beauty journey both effective and more streamlined.

Take the treatment strategies at BMF for instance. With a heritage dating back to 1987, the brand is the culmination of two industry giants – Bella Skin Care and Marie France Bodyline – who have combined their wealth of knowledge and innovation to better address your beauty needs. 

Their wellness centres, known as BMF The Aesthetics People, offer a suite of non-invasive treatment solutions. This month, BMF is introducing BMF Clinic – a one-stop medi-spa that provides premium medical aesthetic treatments delivered by a team of trained doctors. 

Ms Louisa Leow, the 29-year-old senior strategic manager of BMF and BMF Clinic, says, “At BMF Clinic, our doctors are experienced in the use of lasers, botox, fillers, collagen stimulators as well as administering skin enhancers. BMF The Aesthetics People, on the other hand, offers medical grade facials and body treatments that use radiofrequency, ultrasound, etc, that not only deliver effective results but allows clients to relax in a soothing spa-like setting.”

The real secret sauce? Going for complementary treatments from BMF The Aesthetics People and BMF Clinic for optimal and holistic results for your face and body, as recommended by Louisa. 

Hydrate and prep skin with a high-tech facial

In getting your skin to its glowing best, start with the HydraFacial Syndeo at BMF Clinic. 

The three-step facial begins with a gentle exfoliating peel to cleanse away the grime. Next, a high-tech wand is used to gently open up pores and remove dirt and dead skin, using a patented Vortex Fusion Technology. It’s so gentle that it can also be used on sensitive skin types too. Finally, the skin gets a serious hydration boost with the application of moisturisers that’ll leave your skin feeling bouncier and firmer.

You can also personalise your HydraFacial Syndeo in three ways. Got specific skin concerns you want to tackle? The therapist can use a potent booster serum. Want to target the appearance of fine lines and acne? There’s professional LED light therapy to help. And if you’re looking to eliminate puffiness, the treatment can sculpt, lift and contour your mien through lymphatic therapy.

From $420 per session (60 mins). 

Complete your skin revitalisation journey with a brightening and lifting facial 

After going for the HydraFacial Syndeo at BMF Clinic, consider then going for the Dermal Bright Booster Treatment at BMF The Aesthetics People to increase penetration of active ingredients.

“These treatments complement each other because the HydraFacial Syndeo cleanses and hydrates the skin, prepping it to better receive the Dermal Bright Booster Treatment,” explains Louisa. 

In fact, BMF recommends going for both treatments on the same day. The new BMF Clinic at Parkway Parade is conveniently located right next to the BMF The Aesthetics People, saving you travel time. 

The Dermal Bright Booster treatment starts by relaxing the skin and reducing irritations by delivering a gentle mist of purified oxygen using PicoJet technology. 

“This helps to open up the skin barrier and improves the way the active ingredients are absorbed,” Louisa says. 

Now that your skin is relaxed, it’s primed to soak up all the goodness from the Booster Solution V. Comprising skin-loving ingredients such as citrus unshiu fruit extracts for better skin elasticity, kiwi fruit extracts for a brighter and more even skin tone, and niacinamide to repair skin damage, it helps replenish and retain moisture, and gives your skin a brightening boost.

What’s more, no needles are involved. Instead, the booster is converted into nano-sized particles and delivered into the skin via a stream of high-pressured oxygen.

The last step is the application of a face-shaping mask to help lift and tighten the face. It comprises hydrolysed collagen to help boost the skin’s natural formation of collagen, hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture, and Centella Asiatica – better known as cica – and green tea extracts to calm skin, eliminate free radicals and reduce the appearance of acne. The mask is applied through electroporation, where a safe level of microcurrent is used to stimulate the skin and improve absorption.

Louisa says that the “results of combining both treatments include minimised appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, improved skin texture and tone, reduced redness and a lifted face shape”.

From $72 per session (50 mins). 

Eliminate stubborn fat without needles

For women on the go, your fitness time can sometimes take a backseat as you juggle caring for the family whilst staying on top of your game at work. As such, you may often find yourself working out less frequently than you’d like.

Try CoolSculpting at BMF Clinic, a non-surgical body treatment that aims to help you achieve a slimmer figure by treating stubborn fat in areas such as the thighs, buttocks and abdomen. Over 20 years of research and finetuning have gone into the CoolSculpting technology, which targets up to 10 areas of the body.

After a consultation with a therapist, your personalised treatment involves cooling fat cells to a precise temperature that encourages the body to naturally process and remove them.

“The treatment uses CoolWaves technology, which emits a special frequency energy to target fat cells and reduce fat deposits,” Louisa explains.

It is a controlled process, where the therapist helps ensure the preservation of skin and surrounding tissue.

From $700 per session (1h30 mins). 

Complete your transformation with a body-toning treatment

To achieve a sculpted physique, follow the CoolSculpting treatment with the Sculpt-M Treatment over at BMF The Aesthetics People. 

Louisa explains: “Stubborn fat can be hard to rid on your own, so the CoolSculpting treatment helps you by freezing and destroying these fat cells. Once the fat cells are removed by your body, the Sculpt-M Treatment comes in to help tone and enhance the underlying muscles. By combining these treatments, you’ll be able to see more visible results.” 

While many fat reduction treatments focus mainly on eliminating fat cells, muscles – an important part in maintaining a healthy metabolism and sustaining long-term fat burn – can often be overlooked. Sculpt-M Treatment focuses not just on fat reduction, but also on muscle toning. By doing so, it offers a comprehensive approach to achieving a more defined figure. 

The treatment uses a low-frequency electromagnetic technology that targets muscles directly to stimulate controlled contractions and enhance their tone and definition. According to the clinic, one session of Sculpt-M Treatment is equivalent to an intensive 30-minute workout – sans sweat, post-workout body aches and fatigue. 

From $134 per session (30 mins).
