This is our creation – unique to our clinic.

By combining several different techniques we address the underlying causes and the outward signs of skin ageing, thus achieving better results in shorter time. Moreover, there are no worries about redness or bruising because the techniques are so gentle.

We start off by cleansing the face, then performing a gentle peel. The strength of the peel depends upon your needs and can range from the 10% mask to a 70% glycolic peel. This is then washed off.

A nappage of vitamins, minerals and the hydrating agent hyaluronic acid is gently applied to the skin. Nappage means a gentle pricking technique, which really does not hurt. With each prick, a droplet of the nourishing solution is left behind in the papillary dermis, the area where collagen formation takes place.

By boosting the levels of nutrients (vitamins and minerals, hyaluronic acid and amino acids) to the skin, genetically programmed intrinsic ageing can be slowed down. Healing factors in the mixture address the signs of extrinsic ageing.

The micro-trauma to the skin caused by the needle wakes up the fibroblasts cells that make new collagen and contribute to skin tone. This aspect of the treatment explains the lifting effect achieved by the treatment. Sun damage is also reduced by the pricking of the needle; many factors are released into the skin with this gentle trauma that bring about intense repair and recovery.

Homeopathic products can be used in the vitamin facial to assist in drainage of excess fluid.

The most exciting fact about the vitamin facial is that it can help intrinsic (genetically determined) ageing, hitherto considered an inescapable fact of life.

After the vitamin facial the skin is bathed in red light and pulsed electromagnetic energy, the BEMER device. Visible red light is known for its immune stimulating properties and healing properties and is incredibly relaxing. The skin is bathed in this light for 15 minutes. At the same time an pulsed electromagnetic field is applied. This is known to enhance the microcirculation and again stimulate the immune system. Not well known in the UK, the BEMER is used by many European physicians to assist healing and improve sports performance.

The combination facial finishes with an application of moisturising cream (and SPF). Make-up may be applied immediately after, but it is a shame to hide the newly acquired glow, a sign of things to come.
