The treatment
One concern, one active.
90 minutes aimed at whatever is bothering your skin most. Pick one of four focuses, or let your esthetician look at your skin & choose for you.
The method
What makes it clinical.
-
Skin read first
Your esthetician looks closely at your skin before choosing a focus or an active.
-
One concern per visit
Each visit goes after one concern, whether that's brightness, firmness, elasticity or hydration, & gives it the full 90 minutes.
-
The active leads
Each focus is built around one active, like 15% vitamin C or retinol with five peptides, applied with the method that suits it.
-
A plan for home
You leave with a home routine that keeps the same focus going between visits.
What's included
What's in the 90 minutes.

The active for your focus goes on with the method that suits it: ultrasound, oxygen, a thermal foil or layered serums.
Slow drainage massage for a less puffy, more rested look.
A mask matched to your focus, LED light, then a finishing serum & SPF.

Best for
Who it's for.
- Dull, uneven tone
- Fine lines
- Loss of firmness
- Dry, tight skin
- Not sure where to start
Which focus should I choose?
You don't have to decide. Book the Clinical Facial & your esthetician chooses after looking at your skin. If you already know your concern, pick the focus that matches it.
Clinical or Bespoke?
The Clinical gives one concern the full 90 minutes, with one active. The Bespoke is 105 minutes with no set steps, for skin with several things going on at once.
Will I see a difference after one visit?
Skin usually looks brighter & more hydrated straight after. Changes in lines, firmness & tone build with regular visits.
Is there any downtime?
Little to none. A retinol or vitamin C focus can leave mild warmth or pinkness for an hour or two. We finish with SPF before you leave.
