Treatments

Six treatments, each priced.

Facials for any skin, superficial peels with a patch test first, microneedling for scarring and texture, LED for calm, laser for hair, and the consultation that starts every course. Three sessions save 10 per cent; six save 20.

Facials

An hour on your skin, chosen on the day from what it needs: a deep cleanse, a gentle enzyme exfoliation, extractions where they help, a facial massage, a mask and SPF. The signature facial is £75; the clarifying facial for congested and oily skin, with careful extractions, £80.

Signature facial £75 for an hour; clarifying facial £80.

Chemical peels

Superficial peels for pigmentation, dullness, congestion and early fine lines, applied in layers and judged by your skin, not a timer: a gentle mandelic peel at £85 for sensitive and darker skin, and a glycolic and salicylic peel at £95. A free patch test at least 48 hours before the first.

Mandelic peel £85; glycolic and salicylic peel £95.

Microneedling

A medical-grade microneedling pen making fine, controlled channels in the skin to prompt it to make new collagen: for acne scarring, enlarged pores, texture and fine lines, under numbing cream, £195 a session, usually three to six sessions four weeks apart.

£195 a session with numbing cream and the aftercare kit.

LED therapy

Thirty minutes lying under a medical-grade LED panel: red light for calming and recovery, blue for breakouts, near-infrared after microneedling and peels. Painless and gentle enough for redness and sensitive skin, £40 on its own, £20 added to another treatment, usually as a course of six once a week.

£40 for thirty minutes; £20 added to a facial, peel or microneedling.

Laser hair removal

Laser hair removal with a class 4 diode laser registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, suitable for most skin tones, operated under written local rules: a test patch first, then six to eight sessions four to eight weeks apart, from £45 for the upper lip to £160 for the lower legs.

Upper lip £45, underarms £65, bikini line £75, lower legs £160 a session.

The skin consultation and skin scan

Thirty minutes to look at your skin properly: a skin scan that photographs it under ordinary, polarised and UV light to show pigmentation, redness and congestion you cannot see in the mirror, your routine and history, the contraindications, and a written plan with the treatments, sessions and price. £35, taken off your first course.

£35 for thirty minutes with the skin scan, taken off your first course.

Contraindications

The things that change what is safe.

Checked at the consultation and again on the day. Some mean waiting, some mean a different treatment, a few mean no.

Isotretinoin, now or in the last six monthsNo peels, microneedling or laser until six months after the last dose. Facials and LED are fine.
Retinoids and exfoliating acidsStop five days before a peel or microneedling; start again five days after.
Pregnancy and breastfeedingNo peels, microneedling or laser. Facials and LED with pregnancy-safe products.
Cold soresNot while one is active. If you get them often, ask your pharmacist or GP about antiviral cover before a peel.
Sun, sunbeds and fake tanNone for two weeks before or after laser and peels. Tanned skin burns more easily.
Light-sensitising medicinesSome antibiotics and other medicines rule out laser and LED for a while. Bring your list.
Keloid scarringNo microneedling. Tell us if you have ever scarred heavily.
A skin condition a doctor is treatingEczema, psoriasis or rosacea on the face, or a changing mole: we wait for your doctor, or treat around it with their agreement.
