After four years of research, Biologique Recherche is now expanding its individualized approach to the development of made-to-measure skin care products through its Haute Couture Program.

Personally prescribed by Dr. Philippe Allouche of Biologique Recherche, products are prepared from original botanical and biological ingredients at the Biologique Recherche laboratory in Paris. Completely tailored to your skin, the treatment is refined throughout the programme to suit your skin perfectly at every stage.

This unique program combines the brand’s clinical approach with customized monitoring over a one-month or 6-month period.

 
 

The six month

Haute Couture Program
divider

The program begins with an in-depth skin analysis by Dr. Philippe Allouche. Dr. Allouche’s personalized recommendations for the next six months are passed onto his formulation team, based in the Biologique Recherche laboratory in Paris.

This is where they prepare the made-to-measure cream and serum formulations in the Haute Couture box sets. Each box set contains two creams and three to eight specially formulated serums, a new Biologique Recherche Haute Couture Box Set is delivered every month.

There is continual assessment throughout the six months, so the concentration and selection of active ingredients in the skincare will vary in order to reach the targets fixed for the client’s skin. A specialized treatment will also be administered every month at the time the new box set is delivered, which allows for the aesthetic therapists to evaluate the skin and change the prescription as needed.

The treatment products in the Haute Couture program are formulated from a collection of over 60 active ingredients specifically targeted to provide a solution to the particular problems of all skin.

Hydration, Firmness, Lipids, Free Radicals, Age Spots, Trans-epidermal water loss, Wrinkles, Seborrhoea Inflammation

So what is the Haute Couture treatment?

By evaluating the ‘Skin Instant’ in an individual skin analysis session, Dr. Philippe Allouche can ‘design’ the Haute Couture program. All the creams and serums for this Haute Couture program are fresh products, made especially for the client. One of the reasons why Biologique Recherche is so different is that it works on the Skin Instant®, which is how the skin appears at that exact moment. The Haute Couture program evolves over the six month period to suit your ‘Skin Instant’ throughout the process, always taking into consideration any changes in the skin.

 
 
 
 

Stage 1

Biologique Recherche - Haute Couture

The program starts with an initial assessment with Dr. Philippe Allouche, who carries out a precise Dermo-cosmetic diagnosis in order to identify specific ‘Skin Instant®’ problems. This takes place over two hours and includes a relaxing balancing session beforehand so you are totally calm and your skin is free from any stress related factors. The evaluation is backed up by visual analysis, photographs, a dermocosmetic questionnaire, a discussion of your skincare needs as well as a very rigorous measurement session. Your skin wishes are discussed and a target for how you would like your skin to be in six months’ time set.

High precision measurements determine:

  • Moisture rate (Corneometer)
  • Sebum rate (Sebumeter)
  • Transepidermal water loss (Tewameter)
  • Eleasticity (Cutometer)
  • Firmness (Cutometer)
  • Melanin index (Mexameter)
  • Wrinkle depth (Silicone imprints)

A follow-up assessment, when the same measurements are taken, is also scheduled after six months, at the end of the Haute Couture program.

Stage 2

Biologique Recherche - Haute Couture

The Preparation stage (1 month)

On the basis of the first diagnosis and the decided prescription, Dr. Philippe Allouche will choose the Biologique Recherche products in order to initialize and prepare the epidermis for the customized treatment course. The initialization stage enables the products to sooth, balance and prepare the skin for more intensive treatment. One month of preparation is needed between the diagnosis and the beginning of the Haute Couture program. During this period the most appropriate extracts are carefully chosen to work with the client’s skin needs and problem areas.

Stage 3

Biologique Recherche - Haute Couture

The Induction stage (1 month, 1 box)

After the preparation stage and one month after the diagnosis, the client’s customized program will be ready. A box of creams and serums for the Induction stage will be sent to the client for homecare use. This box contains products which start to gently treat the skin, before the beginning of the Boosting Phase. A second box identical to the first one will be delivered to Mandarin Oriental, Washington DC and the client’s assigned aesthetic therapist. This enables Mandarin Oriental, Washington DC to perform bespoke facials using the customized products on the client, as well as sending feedback to the scientific team at the Biologique Recherche laboratory regarding the client’s ‘Skin Instant’, in order to adapt the programme for the following month. The products in this stage are richer and more concentrated in active ingredients than the initialization stage, targeting precise problems to balance the skin.

Stage 4

Biologique Recherche - Haute Couture

The Boosting stage (3 months, 3 boxes)

After the induction stage, the Boosting stage lasts three months. Again these boxes will go straight to the client, along with identical boxes to Mandarin Oriental, Washington DC for twelve bespoke treatments over the three month period. The main target of the Boosting Stage is to attack the main problems of the epidermis. This stage will last three months in order to intensely stimulate the epidermis and should not exceed this duration as the skin will get used to the stimulation. With each bespoke treatment, the aesthetic therapist will perform a skin analysis and observe the evolution of the skin, after which she will send the results to the Biologique formulators in Paris, who will adapt the formulation of the future products.

Stage 5

Biologique Recherche - Haute Couture

The Balancing stage (2 months, 2 boxes)

After the boosting stage, there are two more Haute Couture boxes, in order to fix the results of the treatment. Again, a second set of boxes will also be sent to Mandarin Oriental, Washington DC for bespoke treatments in the clinic. Observations and diagnosis will be sent by the aesthetic therapist to the Biologique Recherche formulators in Paris to ensure the prescription is correct. At this stage, the client’s best ‘Skin Instant’ is fixed and consolidated. The skin is healthy, beautiful and should not have any problems. The products in this stage fix the achieved results of the whole treatment.

Stage 6

Biologique Recherche - Haute Couture

Final assessment

At the end of the six month course of treatments and homecare, a final assessment of the skin is made by Dr. Allouche.
