Babelicious Medispa

I've been going to Babelicious at Orchard Central for about a year now. Its one of the few places in town that I feel most comfortable visiting because the staff here do not pressure you to buy anything.

Yes, your eyes do not betray you... a spa that does not practise hard-selling tactics in Orchard!




In fact, the prices are comparable to what you would expect to pay in the suburban neighbourhoods. What's more, GST is absorbed!



The waiting area is done up in cheerful orange.



Beauty products used here are by Sothys and SkinCeuticals.




I love that the staff are permanently stationed here so I always have the same therapist. That probably explains why their customer base almost wholly comprises of regular patrons! I myself hold 4 packages here, and have renewed my packages twice, which for me is really rare!

Ah Lian is the one and only masseuse and she does all the body treatments too. KC is one of two beauticians who do facial treatments. Both of them are very sincere, and are even willing to share their beauty tips with you.

There are 2 interconnecting facial rooms, so you and a friend can still chat during treatments!




My 2 facial packages are for IPL(Intense Pulsed Light) and RF(Radio Frequency).

IPL for facial rejuvenation stimulates collagen production and reduces pigmentation for a radiant complexion. After cleansing, microdermabrasion is carried out using a mild suction machine(feels something like a mini-vacuum going over your face), then a cold gel is spread liberally. The IPL treatment itself is mildly uncomfortable. While some areas like the jawline do not feel much of anything at all, others like the forehead and cheekbones do feel similar to ant-bites. Generally, areas with more hair and darker skin will experience more sensation because the light rays target melanin and hair follicles. A customised mask is then applied for 15-20 minutes to soothe the skin.

Radio Frequency firms and contours the face. It is used to treat wrinkles and nasolabial lines, plus helps to reduce a double chin and slim the jaw. After cleansing, clear gel is applied and the machine is used to gently massage the face, eye area and neck in circular motions. This treatment is very relaxing.



There is a single room for massage and body treatments.



My 2 body treatment packages are for detox and massage.

The detox treatment consists of an hour-long lymphatic drainage massage followed by a seaweed or slimming body wrap for 20 minutes in a hot blanket. It is recommended to have this treatment done once a week, or at least 7 days after the previous one, and not more often because after the lymphatic nodes have been stimulated, they take a minimum of 7 days to return to their "lazy" state.

My full body massage package comprises a selection of either Deep Tissue, Relaxing or Slimming massage inclusive of head, shoulders and back, for 1 hour 45 minutes.
