Facials
Regular facials are important for keeping your skin healthy, hydrated and blemish free.
What are Facials?
A facial is essentially a multi-step skin treatment that is one of the best ways to take care of your skin. A facial cleanses, exfoliates, and nourishes the skin, promoting a clear, well-hydrated complexion and can help your skin look younger. You also receive advice on the best way to take care of your skin. A facial works best when it is part of an on-going program of skin care.

We use a combination of high end medical products, prescription products, natural and organic products. Facials can be effective for boosting absorption capabilities of the skin, eliminating whiteheads and black heads, detoxifying the skin and rejuvenating your overall complexion. Facial massage additional helps promote blood circulation and is part of the treatment for reducing stress and anxieties.

Red LED Light Therapy helps improve scarring and signs of ageing, such as wrinkles. Research shows that fibroblasts, skin cells responsible for collagen production, are stimulated. This promotes skin healing since collagen is a protein in the skin (and other connective tissues), providing a plumper, more hydrated appearance.
Blue LED Light Therapy can target the skins sebaceous glands helping to reduce activity. This helps prevent breakouts by controlling sebum production. It can also kill acne-causing bacteria beneath the skin, which can help reduce the severity pimples, including cysts and nodules.

What does a facial do? Is there more to it than just relaxing?
Yes! Skincare treatments coupled with great skincare products should not be considered a luxury, but a way of life and part of your regime. Whilst facials are relaxing, and that is certainly an important part of the treatment, they can seriously help to improve targeted skin concerns and maintain a youthful glow.
What products will you use?
This will depend on your choice of facial, but could include products from scientifically backed and award winning brands such as Dr Levy and Obagi Medical. You can speak with your practitioner prior to treatment to find out which products will be used.
How do I prepare for a facial?
See our full list of pre & post-treatment protocols on this page which includes avoiding prolonged sun exposure and certain skincare products. Be aware that you hairline may get wet during a facial!
What should I do/not do following a facial?
See our full list of post-treatment protocols on this page which includes avoiding makeup, and using SPF is a must!
Will my skin look red afterwards?
Everyone reacts differently to treatments, but as we tailor these to the individual, the products and techniques we use should leave you with glowing skin. Some redness may occur, but this is not a cause for concern. If you do have a specific reaction following your treatment, you can contact our practitioners.
Do you treat any and all skin types?
Yes, we do! Our facials can be tailored to each individual and their needs. We will ensure that the products and techniques used are suitable for your skin type so that you can get the most out of your facial.

You certainly can. Facials are incredibly relaxing, and could be the perfect treatment for a new mum or mum to be. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the products or techniques we use, you can discuss these with our practitioners before treatment.
How often should I get a facial?

Facials should be as essential as getting your car MOT'd!
Your skin is constantly exposed to sunlight, environmental pollutants, oils, and other ageing toxins, which can leave your skin layered with blackheads, acne, pigmented areas, and dying cells that are ready to be exfoliated off.
