Franchise of the Day – Ella Bache

ALWAYS EVOLVING

Investing heavily in developing diagnostic tools that are the best on the market and using technologically advanced devices, including TrUView, exclusive to Ella Baché, beauty therapists see below the surface of every customer’s skin to identify skin conditions quickly and accurately. Potential problem areas are revealed so they can be treated long before they surface and become visible to the naked eye and each diagnosis is complemented by a treatment solution that addresses the specific needs of the skin.

Employing an Australian team of researchers to create products that cater for the needs of Australian skin and with a belief in natural ingredients and not testing on animals, their search for new skincare solutions is ongoing.
