This Chanel Privé Facial Harnesses The Largest Sensory Organ In Your Body To Improve Wellness
Wellness is more than just skin deep.
Venturing into the Chanel Privé at ION Orchard is like uncovering a hidden gem, a tranquil haven far removed from the frenetic pace of Orchard Road. The ambiance, a reflection of Gabrielle Chanel’s elegant abode with its white and gold elegance, complete with wallpaper akin to her Coromandel screen, sets a luxurious stage for what’s to come.
The journey into Chanel’s Les Soins Fascia Sublimage is marked by an exquisite initiation: the transformation of Sublimage L’Huile-en-Gel Demaquillage first from gel to oil, and then to a milky texture under a fine mist. An often overlooked process of makeup removal during a facial, this unique emulsification process, far from the conventional method of merely using dampened hands, elevates the experience, imbuing it with a sense of luxury and intentionality that sets the tone for the indulgent treatment ahead.

Exclusive to Chanel Privé at ION Orchard, Les Soins Fascia Sublimage marries Chanel’s skincare prowess of its Sublimage range with cutting-edge aesthetic technologies like cryotherapy, microcurrent, and radiofrequency, each selected to cater to your skin’s specific needs. The therapist’s choice of La Creme Texture Supreme with cryotherapy was a soothing balm to my skin, addressing inflammation and puffiness with a cooling touch. The incorporation of Sublimage L’essence Fondamentale with radiofrequency, followed by a collagen mask activated by microcurrent, was a symphony of techniques aimed at enhancing skin’s firmness and diminishing signs of ageing.
Yet, it was the La Fascia de Chanel massage that stood out as the pièce de résistance. Developed with fascial therapy expert Hélène Bourhis-Bois, this technique goes beyond the surface to stretch and soothe the facial fascia. The fascia is a critical but often overlooked connective tissue network that envelops organs and muscles. This thin, fluid-filled membrane contains more sensory receptors than the skin, making it the largest sensory organ, integral to our self-awareness and emotional experiences.

The massage technique focuses on deep, deliberate stretches of the facial fascia, promoting fibroblast activity, which is essential for collagen production and skin regeneration. By enhancing tissue oxygenation, this massage ensures a better nutrient supply to the skin cells, leading to improved skin elasticity and texture. The unique approach of La Fascia de Chanel goes beyond aesthetic improvement, aiming to release tension stored in the facial fascia, which can have a profound impact on one’s sense of well-being.
After the treatment, I felt an unexpected lightness, free from the tension in my face and jaws that I hadn’t realised was there. The La Fascia de Chanel massage gently coaxed my skin and spirit into a state of relaxation. This experience was a reminder of the sanctuary Chanel Privé offers—a place I’ll certainly return to whenever stress and tension find their way into my days.
