Scientifically proven: our treatments improve your self-esteem and your wellbeing
Our most exhaustive scientific study to date, based on neuroscience, confirms it.
Our most comprehensive scientific study, based on neuroscience, confirms the benefits of our rituals
One of Natura Bissé’s core values is to accompany you in your personal care throughout all stages of your life. To ensure that our treatments truly make you feel better, in 2016 we initiated various neuroscientific analyses to strive for excellence in all our spa experiences.
A LONG JOURNEY WITH NEUROSCIENCE
Using neuroscience, we began to study the effects of each step in our protocols in real time, detecting which moments produce more or less pleasure in order to adjust and perfect them. This resulted in The Mindful Touch.
We studied how to switch off from daily stress in just 8 minutes with the help of virtual reality and mindfulness.
In partnership with the neuroscientific research center Starlab and the University of Murcia, we carried out our most ambitious study to date, selected for its relevance by the IFSCC (International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists).
This study scientifically validates and quantifies the physical and emotional benefits of our professional protocols, which are always based on THE POWER OF TOUCH. In addition to transforming the skin, after experiencing a Natura Bissé spa treatment:
The sensation of well-being increases by nearly 70%
The feeling of self-esteem improves
Relaxation increases (alpha-waves)
Spa experiences improve your well-being, while positively contributing to your mental health and individual empowerment.
2023 study in detail
The ritual analyzed in our 2023 study* was a signature Natura Bissé facial treatment that lasts for 60 minutes. We used an algorithm to obtain the well-being index by combining data on brain activity, heart rate and the five most relevant emotions for this study: Relaxation, Activation, Harmony, Satisfaction and Happiness.
