The ONLY Group is due to launch their first regional outlet in Jakarta, Indonesia at the end of 2014.
doctors, technology and products were generally unheard of in any beauty business. Hence, it was a challenge to overcome the social stigma and safety concerns related to aesthetic technology.”
Sports recovery and pain management is now also part of ONLY’s portfolio, partering prominent institutions in the local sports industry such as S. League Champions (Tampines Rovers) and ONE Fighting Championship (ONE FC). Their concept store, Absolute Zero at Pacific Plaza, was the first in Asia to offer Whole Body Cryotherapy services, a medical treatment using cold liquid nitrogen to counter pains pains and induce recovery.
It was during this time that ONLY Aesthetics made its foray with the local industry’s first painless hair removal technology, known as intense pulsed light (IPL) hair removal today, which became an instant hit among the market. Riding on this intial success, the Group then went on to introduce more groundbreaking treatments and technologies to consumers, including needleless mesotherapy and teeth whitening. A BEAUTIFUL EVOLUTION Working together with the world’s top medical aesthetic manufacturers on an international level, Jermaine and Adren have since grown ONLY Aesthetics to a total of five prime locations in Singapore: Dhoby Ghaut, Raffles Place, Holland Village, and its latest being the 1,600 square foot O Medical Clinic that recently opened in May. Located on the fifth floor of Wheelock Place, O Medical Clinic is the first and only to offer SMASLift™, a non-surgical treatment using high-intensity focused ultrasound technology from Korea to contour, sculpt and rejuvenate skin.
SET TO SOAR There is no doubt that the brand, with its state-of-the-art technologies and pioneering treatments, has been widely and well received. Aside from numerous aesthetics and beauty related awards from leading publications in Singapore, it notably cinched the ‘Singapore Outstanding Enterprise’ and ‘100 MostLoved Beauty Professionals’ awards, both in 2011, as well as the ‘Most Promising SME’ award last year in 2013. Despite all that Jermaine and Adren have achieved, they keep their ambitions firmly rooted on the ground. “We take things a day at a time, and our plans are always changing. We do believe, however, that ONLY will be a household name in Singapore when it comes to aesthetics within the next few years.” Adds Adren, “Life is about winning some and losing some, but with Jesus, we win what truly matters.” + www.onlyaesthetics.sg
“With the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) working closely with the healthcare and travel sectors to position Singapore as an advanced medical care destination, there is an increase in the number of foreigners seeking healthcare services in Singapore. We aim to target this high potential market with the opening of the O Medical Clinic,” says Adren. PHOTOGRAPHY BY WILLIE YEO | WRITTEN BY MICHELLE ZHU
