Start with the skin concern
These are cosmetic treatment goals, not online diagnoses. Active or unexplained skin disease, suspicious lesions and significant inflammation need appropriate clinical assessment.
Hydra-style cleansing, targeted extraction work and selected salicylic or glycolic routes may be discussed.
A careful salicylic, glycolic, clay or cleansing plan may fit selected non-inflamed goals.
Lactic, glycolic, enzyme, diamond-polish and serum routes can be compared.
Gentler manual facials, lactic pathways, hydrating masks and hyaluronic-acid serum finishes may be considered.
Selected peel and brightening-serum plans can be discussed with special attention to pigmentation risk and sun exposure.
Superficial peel courses, advanced serum application, radiofrequency or another regeneration route may be more relevant.
New dedicated facial
A 60-minute, no-heat, no-scrub, no-peel protocol for stable rosacea-prone or redness-prone skin, with exact ingredient-selection rules.
Read the full protocolNamed chemical peel pathways
Concentration, pH, layers, contact time, neutralisation and skin preparation matter as much as the ingredient name.
BHA · superficial pathway
Considered for suitable oily, congested, blackhead-prone or blemish-prone skin. It is not automatically appropriate for active inflammatory or medically complex acne.
AHA · gentler superficial pathway
Often discussed where dryness, dullness, gentle exfoliation and a hydration-focused finish are priorities.
AHA · superficial pathway
Considered for selected rough texture, dullness, congestion, fine surface lines and uneven-looking tone.
TCA · separate consultation
A stronger pathway whose depth and concentration are selected after assessing skin type, treatment goal and expected recovery. It is planned as a separate peel treatment rather than an automatic facial upgrade.
See the illustrated sequence from controlled application through surface action, shedding and renewal, plus why percentage alone does not determine peel depth.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or loss of pigment can follow skin injury. Fitzpatrick skin type, recent tanning, previous pigment change, active products and sun protection are assessed before a peel is chosen.
The Glass Skin facial upgrade brings together selected hydro-facial cleansing, skin scrubber or bubble cleansing, a suitable peel or dermabrasion stage, moisturising, serums and a luxury mask finish. Diamond Skin is the bespoke level above it, adding carefully spaced PRP, microneedling, PDRN or biostimulator stages where they fit.
Skin type, concern, sensitivity, recent procedures, medication, retinoids, active products, pigment history and upcoming sun or events are reviewed.
The skin is cleansed and degreased as required by the product. Some routes need a preparation period before the appointment.
The selected peel is applied according to its product protocol. Tingling, warmth or stinging may occur.
Redness, dryness, flaking, tightness or visible peeling vary by product and depth. Picking the skin increases complication risk.
Sun protection, approved moisturising and carefully timed return to active skincare are essential.
Start with a classic manual facial, then discuss the options that fit your skin and preferred finish. HydraStyle cleansing, dermaplaning, diamond polish, masks, advanced serums and a longer luxury finish are available within the facial plan, subject to suitability.
Upgrades are explained during consultation and the full appointment price is agreed before booking.
