Rehydrate facial
Indulge in a comprehensive one-hour treatment featuring a tailored, meticulous cleansing designed for your unique skin type.
For oily or combination skin, our specialised blend of glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids works synergistically to clarify the skin's surface, unclog pores, and eliminate dead skin cells, promoting a balanced oil production.
Normal/dry skin benefits from a gentle hydrating cleanser, ensuring thorough cleansing without stripping or drying out the skin.
Sensitive skin is pampered with a vitamin-packed cleanser, aiming to restore, calm, and soothe. Following the cleansing process, a gentle enzyme peel, rich in fruit enzymes, provides mild exfoliation to brighten and enhance skin radiance.
Experience the luxury of a Japanese Silk Hyaluronic sheet mask, infused with Aloe and Chamomile for a soothing and cooling effect. The key ingredient, Hyaluronic Acid, contributes to plumping, firming, and hydrating the skin, leaving you with a revitalised complexion.

Facial Skin Rejuvenation 1
Revitalise your skin with injectable gels enriched with hyaluronic acid. As we age, and for women especially during menopause, the natural hyaluronic acid content in our skin diminishes, leading to dryness and aging. Embracing the innovative concept of skin boosting treatments, this method involves a series of hyaluronic acid injections into the dermis to enhance the skin. The primary goal is to boost skin hydration and slow down the visible signs of aging. By attracting water into the deeper skin layers, hyaluronic acid also produces a lifting effect on the tissue, promoting collagen stimulation for a rejuvenated appearance.
I use Profhilo® products. With one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market, Profhilo® not only boosts and hydrates the skin, but also remodels ageing and sagging tissue.

Facial Skin Rejuvenation 2
Restore with Polynucleotide based injectables. Polynucleotides stimulate the body’s own cell regeneration of collagen and elastin, enhancing the skin’s natural ability to retain moisture, resulting in a more hydrated appearance.
I use PhilArt® by Croma-Pharma, an innovative new product, which has proven efficacy supported by extensive clinical data and is the only product that can be injected safely around the delicate eye area, one of the first areas to show signs of ageing. During clinical trials, 91% of patients demonstrated a visible improvement in reducing superficial fine lines and wrinkles.

Facial Skin Rejuvenation 3
Diminish wrinkles and revitalise the upper face through anti-wrinkle injections. Recognised under the brand name Bocouture®, this botulinum toxin treatment specifically addresses muscles beneath the skin, inhibiting nerve signals to prevent wrinkles caused by facial muscle movement. The results gradually fade and require periodic touch-ups. With regular sessions, the longevity of the treatment extends over time, providing enduring benefits.
Please note that during consultation, a discussion of various treatment options will take place and a product won’t be offered or administered if a client isn’t deemed suitable.

Microneedling facial
Facial wrinkles and fine lines result primarily from the depletion of collagen and elastin in the skin. Menopause, accompanied by declining oestrogen levels, exacerbates this loss. Microneedling emerges as a natural alternative to injections, fostering the restoration of these vital fibres by stimulating their inherent production. This process aids in thickening a thinning epidermis, with the added benefit of enhancing the absorption of topical products.
To minimise infection risks, the skin undergoes a thorough cleansing using an antiseptic cleanser. The microneedling pen is then skillfully maneuvered in horizontal and vertical motions across the face.
Subsequently, the application of rose water follows - an all-natural product celebrated for its timeless benefits. Recognised as nature's magic potion, rose water, used for centuries by Romans and even Egyptian Queen Cleopatra, boasts antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Enriched with vitamin B3, it effectively soothes irritation and reduces redness.
The treatment concludes with the indulgence of a luxurious Japanese silk Hyaluronic sheet mask. Infused with Aloe and Chamomile, this mask not only cools and calms the skin but also aims to plump, firm, and hydrate. The heightened cellular turnover stimulated by the process contributes to the awakening of collagen, promoting a rejuvenated complexion.
