Facial Treatments

A facial treatment is designed to do more than just wash the surface dirt from your face. It cleans more deeply to remove dead skin cells, toxins, and bacteria which help improve circulation, increase skin elasticity and firmness, by stimulating the production of collagen. A thorough cleansing not only protects against infection, but it can also help to prevent acne and blackheads if carried out regularly, maintaining skin health.

Firstly, we will determine whether your skin type is normal, dry, oily, or combination and adapt the treatment accordingly.

If a face mask is part of your treatment, you may choose from a sheet mask tailored to your skin type. Or if you would like a clay face mask for deeper cleansing and controlling oil and refining pores, then you can choose from;

✔ VITAMIN C & TURMERIC: Brightening & Detoxifying

✔ GREEN TEA: Anti-aging & Detox & Anti acne

✔ DEAD SEA MUD: Deep cleansing & Exfoliating

✔ ROSE: Moisturizing & Hydrating

We will start with a gentle cleansing of the skin, followed by:

Step 1 - The facial steamer will steam your face with cool or warm steam and is the perfect start to this treatment.

It works by opening your pores to prepare your skin for a much deeper cleanse. The steamer will loosen any build-up of dirt, excess oil, and waxes. When not addressed, this can become a breeding ground for bacteria leading to acne and blackheads. The warm steam helps dilate blood vessels, increases circulation, nourishes, whilst serving to hydrate and support the production of naturally occurring oils within your skin.

Step 2 – The Microdermabrasion device uses suction to help remove blackheads, dirt, and grease from your skin, which causes your pores to block, making this great for breakouts. This device exfoliates to remove dead skin cells, can help reduce fine lines and blemishes for a fresher healthier glow to your skin.

This treatment also uses a microcrystalline head for the removal of dead skin, which in turn stimulates blood circulation, permeating antioxidants for collagen production, leaving the skin feeling cleaner refreshed and brighter.

Step 3 – The K Facial Ice Roller is used following the aqua facial treatment to cool the skin and any irritation by closing the pores. The benefits of cold therapy have been recognised in Korea for years in order to reduce puffiness, tighten the skin and reducing redness. By gently rolling over your face, neck, and décolletage, this process will also help to improve blood circulation, soothe redness and irritation, brighten under-eye circles, tighten the jawline, and help to minimize the appearance of large pores.

Step 4 – The K Facial Sonic Sculptor (used with a specialised Algae serum) has 6000 pulses per minute, assisting with lymphatic drainage, encouraging blood flow to give a less puffy appearance to the face. The diamond cut roller balls of the sculptor are designed to hug the contours of your face, stimulate blood flow, delivering a relaxing massage to your face to alleviate stress. The Sonic T Bar will be used in conjunction with the Sonic Facial Sculptor to reach smaller & more delicate regions of the face, such under the under eye to de-puff and help with dark spots.
The Marine Algae Serum used is a Paraben-free, non-acid Alcohol-free formulation & is Vegan.

This will be massaged into the face and neck at the end of the treatment to leave the skin feeling silky smooth and nourished.

This is an ideal serum for hydration due to the active properties of marine algae. It helps to reduce fine wrinkles & dark spots for a smoother complexion.

Marine algae are known to contain high levels of antioxidants & essential minerals as they have to survive in severe ocean environments and protect themselves against UV radiation and pollution. For this reason, algae-based skincare products and extracts are ideal to improve the skin's elasticity & reduce the signs of aging by fighting against free radicals.

This is because Marine Algae is packed with high levels of vitamin C, a natural ingredient famous for its brightening properties, amino acids, vitamin B, magnesium, zinc, & detoxifying minerals.

This Marine Algae serum is comprised of three different extracts of algae: Laminaria digitata Extract, Chondrus Crispus Extract & Gigartina Stellata Extract. It also contains Aloe vera leaf juice and orange blossom floral water.

Plasma Rich Protein

(PRP) Facial

Also known as the ‘Vampire facial’, this is becoming one of the most popular skin-care treatments around for men and women.

Blood is taken from a vein in the arm, then spun to separate the plasma from the red blood cells
The Serum portion can be injected into the dermis layer of the skin or with microneedling to help repair, rejuvenate and hydrate the skin
Virtually pain free with very little down time
Procedure carried out by a fully trained registered nurse

For Best Results – PRP Facials requires three treatments 4–6 weeks apart for optimum results. Maintenance treatments are required every 4–6 months as desired

Treatment Time – Approximately 1 hour

Treatment Cost - £125 for 1 treatment, or £320 for 3 treatments, when paid in advance

PRP is deemed safe for most people. It is a cosmetic procedure which involves drawing your blood from a vein in the arm which is then spun in a special machine called a centrifuge. This separates the blood into three distinct layers: plasma on top, platelets, blood cells in the middle, and red blood cells at the bottom. PRP is derived from the centre part, ‘the serum portion’ and is injected directly into your skin like fillers, or micro needled to stimulate collagen production.

If you choose to have a platelet-rich plasma facial, precautions can be taken to protect yourself by going to a registered medical provider, RN, or plastic surgeon. Properly trained medical professionals are the only ones that qualify to perform the procedure legally and safely.

Platelets used contain pockets called alpha granules, which secrete high levels of growth factors, accelerating wound healing and helps the face absorb proteins
Virtually painless and is considered safer than injectables, as you are using your own cells which have rejuvenating properties
Improves skin elasticity, volume, and texture
Benefits those with premature wrinkles and high levels of sun damage

PRP has also shown to be an effective procedure for those with alopecia. PRP is injected into fine delicate areas on the scalp to help nourish the hair follicle, strengthen the hair root, and increase the density and growth of hair. It will also encourage dormant follicles to wake up and sprout new hair.

Contra-indications to PRP Facial include

A history of blood diseases, clotting or bleeding disorders.
Any type of blood cancer.
Skin cancer in the area to be treated.
HIV or AIDS.
Hepatitis C.
Cardiovascular diseases that require blood thinners.

Risks/Side-effects

Minor bruise to the arm from having your blood drawn.
Potential for minor bruising to the face.
Swelling or redness to the face from the injections or micro-needling that settles after a few days.

Post-Procedure

Immediately after the facial, a cooling face mask will be applied for 10 minutes.
You can drive home and resume normal activities the next day.
Skin should be kept clean & make-up free.
Skin should have reduced exposure to sunlight during first 48 hours and then after, sunscreen should be applied.

DERMAPLANING

Dermaplaning is an exfoliation treatment which women love this as it is effective in removing the uppermost layer of the stratus corneam as well as removing the vellus hair, ‘peach fuzz’ which creates a smooth canvas for makeup to be applied more evenly and home beauty products to be absorbed better, thus penetrating deeper into the skin.

Dermaplane Facial

Skin Analysis firstly to carefully look for texture, irregularities, raised moles, skin tags, open cuts and sores and active acne etc
Enjoy a light foaming cleanse to remove excess oil, makeup, and sebum from skin
Gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and help even out skin tone
Apply even layer of oil over your choice of areas on the face to be treated
Dermaplaning facial using downward strokes moving along contours of the face with care around the eyes and nose and lips
Final step is to restore hydration with moisturiser

Treatment Time - 30-40 minutes

Treatment Cost - £50

Cost of 3 treatments 3-4 weeks apart, paid for in advance - £135

Dermaplaning Facial with Hydrating mask

Skin is more permeable to skincare products immediately after treatment as the facial hairs that trap debris have been removed. By applying a hydrating mask immediately after a dermaplane treatment will allow the nutrients to penetrate the skin cells deeper, leaving the skin with a healthier glow and incredibly smooth and polished effect.

All the above steps with the addition of a hydrating mask before the moisturiser is applied.

If you would like a face mask added on as part of your treatment, you may choose from the hydrating sheet mask or one of the clay face masks listed at the top of page

Treatment Time - 45 minutes – 1 Hour

Treatment Cost - £65

Cost of 3 treatments 3-4 weeks apart, paid for in advance - £180

Benefits of Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skincare treatment and a great alternative to chemical exfoliation
Safe in pregnancy or if allergic to certain acids or for those with very sensitive skin.
Helps in removing millia; carotin protein which becomes stuck under dead skin cells and appears as little hard bumps on the skin
Dermaplaning also helps with fine lines and wrinkles as it decongests the skin surface and removes the upper layer of the dermis so you can see it lift the pigment
Each time you exfoliate the upper layers of the epidermis, it stimulates the basal layer, which is where skin cell renewal begins, hence smoother, brighter skin
Those with quite noticeable facial hair love dermaplaning as this can feel quite coarse and irritable and fine hairs can become matted down with different products put on the skin
The results after a dermaplaning facial are noticed straight away and give a glowing effect
Removes 3-4 weeks’ worth of dead skin cells, so ideally needs treatment 4-6 weekly

Dermaplaning not advised if;

Active acne as bacteria can spread, causing infection
Not suitable if raised spots, moles, or skin tags
Chronic inflammation of skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea.
Not to be carried out after a chemical peel
Avoid if skin condition is compromised, open cuts, sunburn, or sensitive skin.
Dermaplaning can be performed before a chemical peel to effectively remove dead skin cells and fine hair from the skins surface, but not after
You should avoid strong chemicals and direct sunlight to the skin on the of day of treatment to reduce sensitivity
Do not exfoliate, use scrubs or peels for 24 hours after dermaplaning

Dermaplaning with oil if;

Sensitive skin, reactive, easily irritated, dry, dehydrated, mature skin or sun damaged
Oil helps to protect the acid mantle which is essential for a healthy skin barrier
Can help improve pigmentation and acne, as feels light on the skin, absorbs quickly, and does not clog pores
