What’s your most popular clinical treatment?
It’s our signature Collagen 90+, which was developed at the start of the G.M. COLLIN story in 1957.
Parisian dermatologist Dr Eugène Lapinet joined forces with Monique Moreau, an award-winning aesthetician, with the shared mission of identifying the youthful elements at the core of skin. They based their research on the need to stimulate the production of collagen, an essential protein in the fight against skin ageing.
They created their first ‘collagen pellicle’ (coating), an intensely rejuvenating mask applied to the face, which is considered the first generation of the Collagen 90+ clinical treatment. Exclusive to G.M. Collin, this concept combines a pure lyophilised native collagen pellicle with selected biotech ingredients in formulations designed to optimise the performance of the mask.
What other clinical treatments do you offer?
We have five more core offers. The first of our 60-minute treatments is Sea C Spa, involving a powerful vitamin C antioxidant serum, seaweed and organic mud application. Our 60-minute Hydrolifting session provides visible lifting and firming, and flowing massage techniques, while the 60-minute Botinol is an innovative and non-invasive treatment, focusing on expression lines to provide instant and long-lasting visible results.
Finally we have a five-step, 50-minute Oxygenating facial treatment, and a 45-minute Algomask session to target dehydrated and sensitive skin.
How are your clinical treatments supplied to the spa?
Our clinical treatments come in a pre-dosed format, which helps retain the full integrity and effectiveness of the formulas. The pre-dosing also simplifies the treatment protocol for skincare professionals, as quantities are already pre-measured and they simply need to follow the steps. This also makes inventory easy to manage, and allows for a standardised application to deliver exceptional results every time.
These treatments contain powerful formulas exclusive to professional use that are not sold in retail format, differentiating the professional offers and bringing an added value to our treatments for the consumers.
What’s the key to the company’s success?
Each formula is the culmination of years of research and development to obtain the most effective skin care solutions on the market. Authenticity is also essential for us: we always ensure the products deliver on their promises. During the development of each formula, we ensure that the results surpass the benchmark established, otherwise we don’t launch it and go back to re-formulating.
Why should spa and wellness operators partner with G.M. Collin?
We believe the strong collaboration between our team and skincare professionals is what enables us to achieve excellence in dermo-corrective skincare. With our Support 360° programme, we put a team of dedicated professionals at the service of our spa partners to support all business development needs every step of the way. Our support also includes business development, customer service, complete training and development, dynamic marketing and web support.
What makes the company stand out?
Since the very beginning, G.M. Collin products have been developed with results in mind, which is why we’ve created our clinical evaluation department, comprised of dermatologists, biologists and skincare experts. This department specialises in evaluating and measuring the performance of each formula, qualitatively and quantitatively.
The efficacy and tolerance of each product are confirmed by these rigorous clinical studies, conducted from a pool of thousands of volunteers. We’re very lucky to do this from our own laboratories in Montreal, a very diverse city, which allows us to have volunteers from all skin types and skin ethnicity and test in all types of weather.
