Amazing Facials
At European Dermatology London we have set out to revolutionize the world of Facials. Our Dermatologist has developed a range of highly effective, yet deeply relaxing Medical Facials for you, which will not only greatly improve the appearance of your skin, but also support your skin health. Please find below details about our core Facials. All of our Facials are bespoke however, and will be adjusted to your skin's individual needs on the day.
Our Medical Facials are performed by a specially trained Beauty Therapist. Our Medical Cosmetician Kate completed a rigorous Beauty Therapy training in New Zealand and has worked closely with our Dermatologist to supplement her training. She has a wealth of expertise in Facials that maintain youthful, healthy-looking skin and is also trained to recognise troubled skin and work with our Dermatologist to treat it.
Many of our Facials incorporate the innovative 'HydraFacial' device, a unique hydradermabrasion procedure combining exfoliation, painless extractions, deep hydration, and advanced antioxidant protection. Lymphatic drainage massages are also an integral part of our Facials. This technique encourages lymph fluid to flow more easily and do its job of carrying away toxins. A lymphatic drainage massage reduces facial swelling and fluid retention, decongests and purifies the skin.
Our Medical Cosmetician can also advise on cosmeceutical homecare products, perform highly effective micro-needling procedures, and soften 'goose-bump' like skin on the upper arms (keratosis pilaris).
The Ultimate Anti-ageing Facial
The Rolls-Royce of Facials to transform your complexion! Helps to turn back the clock and fight visible signs of skin ageing.
This Dermatologist developed medical rejuvenation Facial gives your skin an amazing 'freshen-up' and reduces visible signs of ageing. Using the unique HydraFacial machine your skin is cleansed, exfoliated and impurities gently extracted. A light glycolic peel with alpha- and beta-hydroxy-acids is performed and an intensive Vitamin C mask applied afterwards. This is followed by high-tech infusion of a potent peptide complex. After 'bathing' your face in red LED light to visibly tighten the skin and stimulate collagen production, a super-charged antioxidant serum is deeply infused with the help of our HydraFacial device followed by a detoxing lymphatic drainage massage. The treatment session is completed with a relaxing mask of natural collagen biomatrix to sooth and deeply hydrate. This native collagen sheet is so pure in fact that a similar product is even used in burns victims as a skin substitute.
Our Ultimate Anti-ageing Facial intensively boosts the skin's collagen metabolism and improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, skin firmness, tone and texture. You will leave the clinic with skin feeling fresh, smooth and lifted.
Costs: £220 (per session)
'Skin Health for Life' Facial
Skin maintenance plan every man and woman should join. Supports long-term skin health and helps to keep your skin looking beautiful whatever your age.
To keep your body fit and healthy, join the gym - to maintain your skin's health and vitality, join our 'Skin Health for Life' program. This treatment program is designed to maintain your skin in optimal condition long-term, keep ageing at bay and look beautiful and radiant at any age. Healthy skin is happy skin!
The treatment combines a special deep cleansing, exfoliation, painless extractions, hydration and intense antioxidant protection simultaneously using the unique 'HydraFacial' machine. Your skin is then 'bathed' in red LED light, which stimulates fibroblast cells within the dermis to produce natural collagen and elastin. Red light also works to reduce micro-inflammation. This facial will leave your skin looking radiant and visibly firmer for a beautifully healthy and fresh appearance. For best effects, this Facial should be done every 4-6 weeks.
Costs: £150 (per session)
Pigment Facial
Advanced clinical Facial to soften irregular pigmentation, brighten your complexion and give your skin the ultimate glow.
Our medical anti-pigmentation Facials help reverse the ravages of chronic sun exposure such as mottled pigmentation and other forms of uneven skin tone such as melasma ('mask of pregnancy'). After a thorough cleansing this Facial starts with a unique Pigment Balancing Masque, which combines effective skin brightening, anti-inflammatory and peeling agents. High potency Vitamin C and Ectoin reduce excess pigment production in the skin, while peeling glycolic acid gently resurfaces the skin to get rid of existing pigment. A second more soothing Vitamin C mask continues to help fight free radical damage in the skin. Your face is then bathed in red LED light, which helps improve skin texture, color, and tone while diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. We complete the ritual with application of a silky sun protection moisturizer and lymphatic drainage massage.
This Facial is recommended to be performed six times in 10-day intervals and will be combined with an effective home care regime (home care products to be purchased additionally). This combination approach will leave your skin fresher and with a visibly more even skin tone, while gently reducing pore size and the appearance of fine lines and overall sun damage.
It is extremely important to combine any treatment for pigmentation with a broad-spectrum sun protection product of SPF 50-90, which we will recommend on an individual basis. Remember - a single day of excess sun can undo months of treatment!
If you also suffer with whiteheads or blackheads that need extracting, our Medical Cosmetician will include this in your session at no extra cost.
Costs: £130 (per session)
Removal of milia ('milk spots')
Milia are harmless, very common lesions affecting all ages. They appear as small, deep seeded, white, hard bumps on the face, often on the upper cheeks and around the eyes. Milia are tiny, superficial cysts filled with keratin (skin protein) material, not pus as it might appear. They can appear singly or in large numbers and although they are benign and have no other symptoms, patients often request their removal for cosmetic reasons.
Our Medical Cosmetician can very easily and painlessly remove facial milia in a single treatment.
Costs:
£90 (per session)
(or £150 per session if combined with our 'Skin Health For Life' Facial)
Acne & Breakout Facial
This is a specialist clinical Facial which helps clear breakouts, while keeping your skin young and beautiful looking. This Facial can also be performed on back, shoulders and chest, if affected. Suitable for adults and teenagers.
Help diminish your acne and prevent scaring, so you can face the future with clear, beautiful skin. This deep pore cleansing, clarifying and anti-inflammatory treatment is the perfect Facial to combat spots and breakouts. It reduces four important contributing factors: i) excess sebum/oil production, ii) over production of keratin (dead skin material) with clogged pores, iii) inflammation and iv) bacterial growth. The treatment begins with a deep pore cleansing and gentle exfoliation of the skin to remove dead cell debris, followed by thorough comedone ('blackheads & whiteheads') extractions. A clarifying and soothing mask is then applied. To reduce acne bacteria, decrease skin oiliness and tighten pores, your skin is 'bathed' in blue LED light, followed by application of a light moisturizer. In non-inflammatory acne, a lymphatic drainage massage completes the session.
To intensify treatment of congested skin and enlarged pores in oily, spot-prone skin, we can also add a 'HydraFacial' treatment in your acne Facial, leaving a beautifully clear and fine complexion.
Once your skin is cleared, we can then go on and treat potential scaring, for example with a highly effective medical needling course (see 'Cosmetic Dermatology' - 'Improving skin surface & texture'). However, acne scaring should only be tackled, when all active acne has settled.
Costs:
£115 (per session)
(£35 surcharge for special HydraFacial Acne Facial)
Rosacea Facial ('couperose')
Say no to spots and red bumps beyond teenage-hood! This clarifying and calming Facial helps to alleviate rosacea and its associated symptoms including papules, pustules and facial redness.
At the beginning of this treatment, your skin is thoroughly cleansed and impurities gently extracted. This is followed by application of either a specialised Oxygen Mask or a Pure Collagen Mask depending on your skin's condition that day. The Oxygen mask stimulates and strengthens small blood vessel walls, increases oxygenation in your skin and 'flushes the pipes'. Over time this helps reduce redness, flushing and inflammation. The collagen biomatrix mask calms inflammation, soothes irritation and hydrates the skin. The mask is followed by a specialist rosacea lymphatic drainage massage to help reduce lymph fluid congestion, puffiness and flush away toxins. Finally red and blue LED light is used to calm inflammation and reduce unwanted bacteria. Both men and women will benefit.
Costs: £115 (per session)
