What the video says
- Skin looking flat in daylight?

- Make up goes on smoother. Smoother straight away Lasts around 3 to 4 weeks Every 4 to 6 weeks keeps it up Results vary from person to person.

Before you book
The honest details.
Medical grade
- Stronger products than you can buy for home use.
- A clinically trained practitioner carries out your facial.
- Steps chosen on the day. I check how dry, oily or sensitive your skin is, plus pigmentation, blocked pores and recent treatments. Two people booking the same facial may get different serums, exfoliation and LED settings.
The options
LED light
Red light (around 630nm) may calm redness and support collagen. Blue light (415nm) targets bacteria linked to acne. Most sessions mix colours.
Dermaplaning
A sterile blade removes dead skin and fine facial hair. Skin may look brighter straight away. A good choice before an event.
Peels and BioRePeel
Professional acids lift the top layer of dead skin, so skin may look brighter and more even. BioRePeel mixes TCA with amino acids and vitamins, with no downtime.
Is it for me?
- You want regular skin care without injectables.
- You have an event coming up and want your skin glowing within 7 days.
- Your skin is congested, dull or dehydrated.
- You want to maintain results between injectable appointments.
- You’re new to aesthetics and want to learn what your skin needs.
I’ll postpone or adjust your facial if you:
- Have active cold sores, weeping eczema or another skin infection.
- Have had injectables in the last 14 days. No facial massage in that window.
- Have had a chemical peel or microneedling in the last 14 days.
- Take roaccutane. Some treatments wait until you’re 6 months off it.
- Have very sensitive or rosacea prone skin. I adjust the steps to suit.
Common questions
Good to know.
Are your facials medical-grade?
Yes. Every facial uses active, professional-strength products at concentrations you can’t buy at home. The plan matches your skin’s needs that day. Not a one-size routine.
How often should I have one?
Monthly is the sweet spot. It lines up with your skin’s natural 28-day renewal cycle. Some clients come every 6 weeks. Some weekly if they’re prepping for an event. We talk through the right rhythm at consultation.
What’s the difference between LED and Luxury facial?
The LED facial is 30 minutes. Cleanse, light exfoliation, serum, LED, moisturise. Good for maintenance and brightening. The Luxury facial is 60 minutes. Deeper exfoliation. Custom mask. Longer LED. More serums. Better if you want a bigger reset.
What’s dermaplaning?
Precise removal of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) with a sterile blade. Skin glows straight away. Excellent before a big event. Makeup sits beautifully on top.
Will dermaplaning make my hair grow back thicker?
No. That’s a myth. Vellus hair grows back at the same fineness and colour. The illusion comes from blunt-cut ends. They soften back to normal.
Do chemical peels hurt?
You feel tingling or warming while the peel is on. Manageable. The depth sets the intensity. We agree the right depth for your skin at consultation.
What’s BioRePeel and how is it different?
BioRePeel is a no-downtime medical peel. It combines TCA with amino acids and vitamins. Your skin doesn’t flake or peel visibly. But the treatment still resurfaces and brightens. Great if you want results without obvious peeling.
Can I combine facials with injectables?
Yes, with appropriate sequencing. Rachel will explain how to time a facial around any other non-prescription service in your individual plan.
Can I combine with microneedling?
Yes. A gentle facial the week before microneedling preps the skin beautifully. No facials, peels or active treatments in the 14 days after microneedling.
What if I’m pregnant?
Most facials are fine in pregnancy. LED. Gentle dermaplaning. Basic cleansing protocols. Chemical peels I usually skip. Mention pregnancy at booking so I can adjust the products.
