Frequently asked questions

Why should I get a facial treatment?

A facial is more than just getting a mask and a massage, its a chance for you to check in with a skin expert…me! Through an initial skin consultation we can examine what the skin needs, if your skincare routine is suited for your skin type and together create a plan so you can achieve your skin goals. Post treatment we can look at adjusting your skincare at home, with salon grade skincare products. During the treatment, I use a combination of holistic techniques and advanced technology in order to achieve radiant skin and a calm mind. If healthy skin is your goal, then a skincare professional can benefit you.



What is the difference in facial treatments?

No treatment will ever be exactly the same, as during the skin analysis I will assess what the skin requires and create an individual treatment for you. However for clarity, I have created a list of treatments on my bookings page. Please click here for further information.



Why have you chosen the products you use?

The skincare I use during my treatments is carefully selected and extensively researched. I also offer these brands as a skincare stockist. Anything that is not available on my website I am happy to order in for you. I use Environ, QMS Medicosmetics, Dermaviduals and my natural, probiotic option is Esse Skincare. This provides me with a line up of skincare that will suit everyone’s needs.



How should I prepare for my facial?

Please write down what skincare you are using, if you have any medical issues or any sensitivity issues that I may need to know about before we start the treatment. Please come wearing no makeup, and avoid getting any of the following beauty treatments beforehand: Botox & Filler 7-10 days Eye Lash Tint - 2 days Facial Waxing 2-3 days Blow Dry



What is QMS skincare?

What is facial acupuncture? And would it be suited to me?

Facial acupuncture is a wonderful treatment that triggers the bodies natural healing response. It works well for fine lines and wrinkles, acne spots and pigmentation. It also is a very relaxing treatment using the meridians lines o balance the body. This is perfect for those feeling stressed out and in need of grounding.



What should I not do after my facial?

Avoid hitting the gym for about 24 hours, you can take a break from exfoliating for 48 hours. Avoid wearing make up for 24 hours as your skin will be more sensitive.



What is included in my facial treatment?

I combine holistic techniques with advanced technology but I will always try to be flexible to your needs. I love to use my hands, so if you are someone looking for a machine driven facial then maybe I am not for you. But that doesn’t mean I don’t combine electrical facials . I like to do a bit of both. Expect any of the following… Facial massage, foot massage, Gua Sha massage, radiofrequency, sonophoresis, galvanic current, electrical muscle stimulation, aliginate mask, sk-alpha mask, facial acupuncture, derma rolling, LED light.
