Biologique Recherche opening its first-ever U.S. Ambassade in Los Angeles. The two-story Ambassade has six treatment rooms with five single-service rooms, a larger VIP suite with a private entrance, a diagnostic room with the Skin Instant Lab, the VisioLab and My Beauty DNA tools, and a hair salon for scalp treatments.The interior architecture was designed by Joanne de Lépinay, a French designer who worked on the Paris Ambassade. “We wanted to create a very authentic French experience with an elegant Parisian aesthetic,” says Margot Humbert, general manager of Biologique Recherche USA. "We took elements from the original Paris Ambassade to extend the authenticity of the brand and create continuity. All the millwork is custom made and the furniture is directly from Europe.”
The Biologique Recherche experience is built on a three stage methodology that personalizes each treatment based on individual skin needs:
- Stage 1 is The Assessment Stage and uses the Skin Instant Lab tool to analyze and determine a person’s condition of the skin. The VisioLab tool takes a high-resolution photograph while the My Beauty DNA test assesses skin on a genetic level and provides an overview of genetic predispositions. The My Beauty DNA testing kit, is used to analyze 14 skin characteristics linked to aging, sensitivity, exposure to the sun, environmental factors, and the skin profile. This analysis enables better understanding of genetic predispositions and the “inherited” needs of the skin.
- Stage 2 is the Initialization Stage, and it starts with individualized preparation of the epidermis that includes thoroughly cleansing the skin, combined with a massage, and preparing the skin using Lotion P50.
- Stage 3 is the Treatment Stage, which uses customized products to “recondition” the epidermis and over time, improve skin quality, and leads to a radiant complexion. The Ambassade offers additions like the Remodeling Face and Remodeling Face Chin enhancements.
