— 01 / CONSULTATION
Clinical facials.
A consultation and treatment for skin health and maintenance — a considered, results-focused facial tailored to your skin, with an experienced therapist. We start by understanding your skin and what’s on your mind, then talk through what suits you.
— 02 / ABOUT CLINICAL FACIALS
About clinical facials.
A clinical facial is a professional skin treatment tailored to your skin — cleansing, exfoliation and targeted actives, chosen for what your skin needs on the day. It’s used to support skin health and maintenance, which may help with congestion, texture and how refreshed the skin looks. Individual results vary.
A consultation comes first. We assess your skin and your suitability, talk honestly about whether — and how much — it may help, and explain what’s involved. No two facials are the same.
WHAT TO DISCUSS
- A clinical assessment of your skin and concerns
- Your goals and what you’d like to address
- How the treatment works and what’s involved
- Any sensitivities, and simple aftercare
ALSO COVERED
- Suitability, including any skin considerations

— 03 / WHAT TO EXPECT
What to expect during your appointment.
Personalised consultation
Your appointment begins with a discussion of your skin, concerns and goals. The therapist assesses your skin to tailor the facial to what it needs on the day.
Preparation
The skin is cleansed and prepared, and the actives are chosen for your skin. Each step is explained as we go.
Duration & recovery
Most facials are relaxing, with little or no downtime. Some short-lived redness can occur; the therapist explains what to expect for you.
Post-appointment care
Simple aftercare is discussed with you, along with how often a facial may suit your skin.
— 04 / ABOUT SKIN HEALTH & MAINTENANCE
About skin health and maintenance.
Skin responds to a lot — congestion, dryness, sun, stress and the general demands of daily life. Looking after it consistently, over time, is a considered approach.
What your skin needs changes over time, and what suits you is assessed on the day and discussed with you. This section is general information only.
TAILORED ON THE DAY
Your skin is assessed each visit, and the facial is tailored to what it needs at the time.
CONSISTENCY
Skin health is supported gradually — regular, considered care tends to serve skin better than one-offs.
REVIEWED WITH YOU
What suits your skin is assessed in person — never from a page.

— 06 / FREQUENTLY ASKED
The questions we get most.
What is a clinical facial?
A professional skin treatment tailored to your skin — cleansing, exfoliation and targeted actives chosen for what your skin needs on the day. We talk through what suits you at your appointment.
Do I have to decide anything on the day?
No. There’s no pressure — we assess your skin and talk through what suits you, and you decide in your own time.
Is there downtime?
Usually little or none. Some short-lived redness can occur depending on the actives used; the therapist explains what to expect for you.
No. A consultation is just that. Many people come to understand their options and decide later, or decide it isn’t for them. There’s no pressure either way.
How often should I have one?
That depends on your skin and goals. Skin health is supported gradually, so regular, considered care tends to suit better than one-offs. We plan it with you.
Who will I see?
An experienced skin therapist, who assesses your skin and your suitability before anything begins.
Can under-18s book?
