La Sultane de Saba | Chasing Elixir

Three weeks ago I was invited to Skin Temple Medi Clinic & Spa’s 1st birthday celebration. This is my first event as a Beauty Blogger so I was très excited (thanks Val for bringing me as her plus one)!

Skin Temple was formed in 2002 by cosmetic physician Dr. Alicia Teska and began as a mobile service of various beauty procedures for women in rural Victoria. One year ago it relocated, expanded and reincarnated as Skin Temple at its current location, offering Melbourne women a premier cosmetic medical facility and luxury Oriental Spa destination.

Dr Teska spoke about her journey in starting her business, and thanked all her clients for their loyalty.

I loved the details in every area of the clinic, and can see that Skin Temple is truly a serene environment for relaxation, rejuvenation and restoration.

One of the speciality at Skin Temple, are the Hammam treatments. The Hammam is a purpose built steam treatment where heat and intense dampness are combined. Skin Temple also has several complimenting scrub rooms within the Hammam area, with heated tiled beds and suspended shirodhara pots for the application of heated fragrant oils.

Whilst I’ve never had the pleasure of experiencing the Hammam treatment, it sounds absolutely divine - and the Hammam areas are spectacular.

Skin Temple also stocks a range of skincare and cosmetics brands, including ASAP, Avène, La Sultane de Saba (for which Skin Temple is the sole distributor in Australia), Invisible Zinc and Restylane.

Restylane Skincare – that’s by the same brand as the dermal filler!

I had a great time at the event, checking out the facilities at Skin Temple, and talking to Dr Teska and Val about all the cosmetic medical procedures on offer
