What is the best type of facial to get?

We will explore the benefits of each to help you decide, remember though, our therapists can help you as well.

Carbon laser facial

As known as China doll facial (named for its porcelain doll like finish on the skin) is a non-invasive, painless and highly effective treatment designed to improve overall texture and tone of your skin. It involves the application of a thin layer of carbon to the face, which penetrates into the pores. A laser is then used to gentle heat the carbon, causing it to vaporize and exfoliate the skin, remove impurities and balance oil flow. This facial also stimulates cell turnover, revealing a smoother, clearer and brighter complexion.

Benefits

1. Deep cleansing: The carbon particles act as a powerful magnet, drawing out impurities from the pores. This deep cleansing effect helps unclog the pores, reduce the appearance of blackheads, whiteheads and acne.
2. Oil regulating: As the carbon sits within the pores, this treatment works on minimising and regulating sebaceous gland activity.
3. Exfoliating: The carbon layer when heated with a laser, creates a controlled exfoliation process. This gentle exfoliation reveals newer, healthier skin, promoting a smoother more radiant complexion.

Regen Laser

By stimulating these we increase collagen and elastin resulting in fresher, healthier skin revealing healthier, smoother, firmer skin. Reducing the signs of fine lines and wrinkles.

Benefits

1. Anti-ageing: by stimulating collagen and elastin we can turn back some signs of ageing revealing a more youthful complexion
