Our Korean Pink Facial is best suited to menopausal and mature skin, focusing on hydration, barrier support and radiance. Our Korean Black Facial is best suited to acne-prone, oily or congested skin, focusing on gently clearing pores and balancing oil.

Both include a relaxing face, neck and upper back massage. We will recommend the most suitable facial for your skin during your consultation.

Facials can be used to target a number of skin concerns, including ageing skin, active acne, dryness or dehydration, dull or lacklustre skin, clogged pores (including blackheads and whiteheads), uneven, flaky or excessively oily skin, dark spots or age-related pigmentation, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, rough texture, hyperpigmentation and discolouration.

Treatments usually begin with a gentle cleanse, followed by exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, and extractions if needed to clear congestion. A mask, serum or specialised treatment is then applied to target your individual concerns, such as dryness, pigmentation, acne or ageing. You may feel a mild tingling, warmth or stinging sensation, which is normal.

Your facial also includes a relaxing massage of the face, neck and upper back, to relax the muscles, reduce tension and encourage lymphatic drainage for a brighter complexion.

Normal activities can resume the same day, with some aftercare precautions which will be discussed in your consultation and provided in your aftercare advice.

Yes, our Korean facials are very safe for skin of colour. The products we use are specially formulated with melanin-rich skin in mind, and are designed to improve hydration, strengthen the skin barrier and deliver active ingredients in a way that minimises irritation while maximising results.

Most treatments require at least 2 to 3 sessions to see any visible improvement. The normal skin cycle (the time it takes for old skin cells to be replaced by new ones) is between 4 and 6 weeks, and the older we get, the longer this takes. Most skin treatments need at least 2 skin cycles for any improvement to be visible.

To see results, we generally recommend regular facials at least once every 4–6 weeks. Results are gradual and improve with consistency.

Not at all! In fact, our Korean facials are very relaxing.

Whilst facials are widely performed, well tolerated and extremely safe, like any procedure there are possible risks, which will be discussed with you in detail during your consultation as these vary between individuals.

Common and expected effects, which are temporary and typically resolve within days, include mild redness and swelling, mild dryness, tightness or flaking, increased sensitivity to sunlight, mild itching or stinging, and temporary darkening of pigmentation before it fades (a sign of healing which is common in skin of colour).

We do not recommend this treatment if you:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have active cold sores, infection, inflammation or broken skin in the treatment area
• Have used isotretinoin (Roaccutane) in the past 6–12 months
• Have had treatments such as laser or microneedling in the area within the last 2 weeks
• Are prone to keloid or hypertrophic scarring
• Have had a recent tan or sunburn within the last 3 months
• Have an autoimmune condition, are receiving immunosuppressive therapy, or have a history of severe allergies or anaphylaxis

Your clinician will go through your full medical history at your consultation to make sure the treatment is right for you.

Yes, and following it carefully significantly reduces the risk of side effects. In summary:

• Avoid applying anything to the treated area, including make-up, for the first 24 hours
• Avoid vigorous exercise, swimming pools, saunas and steam rooms for 24 hours
• Wear a minimum of SPF 30 and avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for 14 days
• Avoid sensitising active ingredients such as retinol and AHA/BHA for 2 weeks
• Do not pick, peel or scratch your skin

You will receive full aftercare advice after your treatment.

Our Korean facials enhance the quality and health of your own skin over time. Visible results are not immediate and can take at least 3–6 sessions. We do not recommend a single treatment, as you are unlikely to see any long-term results.

Combining our Korean facials with other treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling or medical-grade skincare provides optimum results, particularly for active acne, deeper acne scars, deep wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and melasma. Results also depend on age, skin quality and lifestyle factors, and cannot always be predicted.
