Welcome. You’re in the Right Place.
Whether it’s breakouts that keep coming back, congestion that never quite clears, skin that has become reactive and easily upset, or changes as your skin ages that you’d love to care for, this is where we begin.
The Skin Foundations Facial is how every new client starts at Shine. It’s a consultation and facial in one visit, designed to understand your skin properly before we change a thing.
Because we believe nobody should have to leave still feeling lost.
This first visit is for you if
- You have breakouts, blackheads or congestion that won’t settle
- You’ve tried products, prescriptions or other clinics and still don’t have answers
- Your skin feels sensitive, reactive, dehydrated or red
- You want your healthiest skin and don’t know where to start
- You’re noticing changes as your skin ages and want to keep it healthy for the long term
What Happens at Your First Visit
Your first appointment isn’t about squeezing everything into one facial. It’s about finally understanding your skin.
- We listen. A full skin consultation covering your history, your lifestyle, what you’ve tried and what’s worrying you most.
- We look beneath the surface. Diagnostic imaging shows us what’s happening below what you see in the mirror.
- We review your routine. We look at your current homecare and tell you honestly what’s helping and what’s holding you back.
- We treat your skin. A treatment tailored to what your skin needs on the day. That may include gentle extractions, hydration and barrier strengthening.
- You leave with a plan. A clear understanding of what’s driving your skin, a simple home routine and an honest timeline for results.

- Homecare that fits your life. Professional Dermaviduals skincare with as few steps as possible, so you’ll actually use it. Never any pressure to buy.
- Over 14 years in business. A Swan Street clinic built on long term relationships and skin that makes sense.

What is the Skin Foundations Facial?
It’s the first appointment for every new client at Shine. A full skin consultation and a customised treatment in one visit, designed to understand your skin and start you on the right path.
Should I choose 60 or 80 minutes?
Both include the full consultation, diagnostic imaging and a tailored treatment. The 80 minute Advanced Facial gives you 20 extra minutes for more extractions or a beautiful massage.
Is it suitable for acne?
Yes. It’s designed for every stage of acne, from blackheads and whiteheads to congestion and inflamed breakouts.
I don't have acne. Is it still for me?
Absolutely. It’s for anyone who wants their best skin, including sensitive, dehydrated or redness prone skin.
Will you do extractions?
Yes, if your skin needs them. Our extractions are gentle, professional and performed by hand. If you feel you need a lot, we recommend booking the Skin Foundations Advanced
Is there any downtime?
Minimal to none for most clients.
How many facials will I need?
That depends on your goals. Many clients notice improvement after the first visit. For chronic skin conditions, or skin conditions that have been concerning you for a long period of time, we will design a treatment plan for you.
Do you treat teenagers?
Yes. We regularly treat teenage clients and tailor the experience to be gentle yet effective.
What products are used during the facial?
We primarily use Dermaviduals—a corneotherapy-based, customisable skincare range that’s free from fragrances, preservatives, and emulsifiers that can irritate the skin. This allows us to tailor your treatment to support skin healing, repair, and resilience.
