• FIRST TIME CLIENTS | 90 MINUTES

  The first 30 minutes of your appointment will be a thorough skin consultation. We'll go through everything from your skin goals and current home-care routine to your diet and lifestyle. Your 30-minute consultation includes a cleanse and skin analysis under a magnifying lamp. We will then discuss the best treatment plan for you and take a photo of your skin (which will remain private) to enable us to track your skin journey. The next 60 minutes are dedicated to your facial, using a combination of technology, tools, and corrective skincare specifically selected to suit your skin's current needs and your long-term skin goals. At the end of the treatment, we'll go over your aftercare advice and recommendations to keep your skin glowing for days after your treatment.

• RETURNING CLIENTS | 75 MINUTES

  The first 15 minutes of your appointment will be spent determining what your skin needs during your facial. We'll also discuss your previous treatment, update any medical forms or history if needed, and take another photo of your skin to continue to track your progress and make amendments to your treatment plan if needed. The next 60 minutes are dedicated to your facial, using a combination of technology, tools, and corrective skincare specifically selected to suit your skin's current needs and your long-term skin goals. At the end of the treatment, we'll go over your aftercare advice and recommendations to keep your skin glowing for days after your treatment.

All skincare used during your facial is customised to target your skin concerns. All treatments include a double cleanse, chemical peel, extractions (if needed), mask, eye treatment, serum, moisturiser and SPF, selected specifically for your unique skin.

Here are just some of the tools that might be selected for your facial:

• LED : A form of light therapy that penetrates the skin to target different concerns. Results in skin rejuvenation, tissue repair, reduced inflammation, decrease in harmful bacteria, and collagen stimulation.

• EMS: The PureLift is the premier non-invasive facial elevation and sculpting tool on the market. Powered by patented triple-wave technology, the Purelift delivers powerful randomised electrical impulses to activate and elevate the facial muscles. The first wave (low frequency) has an anesthetic effect, the second wave (mid frequency) works in the dermis layer, and the third wave (high frequency) reaches deep to the facial muscles. The pulses are randomized, which means the muscles can never adapt - they have to keep working, which is what brings you results.

• MICROCURRENT:
  Uses low-level electrical currents that mimic the body’s natural bioelectricity to lift, tone, and sculpt the face. It stimulates ATP production to energise the skin, boosting collagen and elastin for a firmer, more defined appearance.

• NANOCURRENT:
  Delivers ultra-low electrical waves that work on a cellular level to support repair, regeneration, and overall skin health. It helps balance skin function and enhance radiance, leaving the complexion strengthened, calm, and glowing.

• CRYO LYMPHATIC MASSAGE: Combines the gentle pressure of lymphatic massage with the cooling benefit of cryotherapy. The light movement of lymph drainage leaves skin looking de-puffed, bright and toned, whilst cryotherapy works to constrict capillaries to calm and soothe inflamed skin, improving skin texture and tone.

• HANDS : The original massage tool. In the words of Hippocrates, "anyone wishing to study medicine must master the art of massage", and your facial is no exception. My signature facial massage will stimulate collagen, release tension, relax fascia and boost circulation leaving you sculpted, toned and glowing.

We recommend getting a professional facial once a month to match up with the life cycle of your skin cells; your skin's full life cycle takes on average four weeks. So, by the time you come in for your next appointment, there will be a whole new layer of skin to work with which is essential when treating and managing skin concerns. This also allows us to track your progress and make amendments to your treatment plan and home-care if needed.

After your facial, your skin will instantly feel hydrated and look cleaner, brighter, and healthier. You may experience a little redness immediately after your treatment, but this shouldn't last more than one to two hours.

As your skin is unique, there is no concrete answer to when you will see an improvement on more complex skin concerns. Stubborn skin conditions such as hyperpigmentation or photodamaged skin may take three to four months before you see serious results (which is why we will take photos to track your progress!).

Sophie will always be honest and upfront with you about how many treatments are recommended for maximum results during your consultation.
