My Reading Room

Spa treatments are meant to be lovely, relaxing experiences. But all that relaxation’s no good if the beauty treatments aren’t also effective. The Senze Renewal Proionic Facial ($480 for 90min) at SK-II Boutique Spa checks all the right boxes by combining advanced technology, premium skincare and pampering treats.

At the heart of it is the cutting-edge Indiba Proionic RF System. It uses 448kHz long-wave radio-frequency to produce a proionic effect in the skin as well as boost microcirculation and skin temperature, thereby increasing the amount of oxygen and nutrients supplied to the cells for a revitalised look while helping to burn fats and tone skin.

The Proionic RF System is also said to boost skin cell metabolism to help your skin look younger, and reportedly promotes lymphatic drainage for clearer skin. Designed to enhance the skin’s absorption of skincare, it complements the SK-II products used – such as the famed Facial Treatment Essence, Skin Signature 3D Redefining Mask and Signs Up-Lifter – by boosting their effectiveness.

Look forward to stepping out with firmer, younger-looking skin and more defined facial contours. And thanks to the pampering that takes place throughout the facial – aside from the use of aromatherapy-scented towels, you get to enjoy a scalp massage, a mini neck-and-shoulder massage, and a cold ball compress meant to reduce the risk of overheating the skin – you’ll feel refreshed in mind and body too. Six to eight monthly sessions are recommended for optimum results.
