Facials in London W2

Our clinical facials menu

A clinical facial is carried out in an aesthetic clinic setting, starts with a skin assessment and is chosen for a specific concern. Some of ours are hands-on and relaxing, while others use equipment to exfoliate, decongest or stimulate the skin. Each one is booked as a 40-minute appointment.

Here is the full list with prices. All prices are per session, and your final plan and price are confirmed at consultation.

• Mini Facial: £65
• Microdermabrasion (face): £70
• HydroFacial: £80
• Celebrity Facial (Multivitamin Complex): £120
• Microneedling (face): £120
• Carbon Peel (face): £130

Choosing the right facial for your skin

If you are searching for a facial near me on Edgware Road, the hardest part is often knowing which one to pick. The simplest way is to start from what is bothering you. This is a rough guide, and we will refine it once we have seen your skin.

• Tight, dehydrated or congested skin: our HydroFacial treatment, which cleanses, exfoliates, extracts and hydrates
• Oily skin and pores that look enlarged: a carbon peel facial using a carbon lotion and laser
• Dull, rough skin on a smaller budget: microdermabrasion for surface exfoliation
• Acne scarring or uneven texture: a course of microneedling sessions, which works deeper
• A short refresh or a first clinical facial: the Mini Facial
• A vitamin-focused treat before an occasion: the Celebrity Facial (Multivitamin Complex)

Mini Facial and Celebrity Facial

The Mini Facial at £65 is our most affordable option. It is a good introduction if you have never had a clinical facial, or a tidy refresh between other treatments. We tailor the steps to your skin on the day and will tell you exactly what is included when you book.

The Celebrity Facial (Multivitamin Complex) at £120 is a vitamin-focused facial that many people book before an event or as an occasional treat. We will explain what goes into it, and whether it suits your skin, during your consultation. As with any facial, how your skin looks afterwards varies from person to person.

What to expect at a facial appointment in W2

Whichever facial you choose, the visit follows a similar shape.

1. A consultation about your skin type, routine, medication and recent treatments.
2. A close look at your skin to confirm the facial is right for you, or to suggest a better fit.
3. Cleansing to remove make-up and oil.
4. The main treatment, whether that is exfoliation, extraction, laser, microneedling or a hands-on facial.
5. Moisturiser and SPF to finish.
6. Aftercare advice specific to the facial you had, plus guidance on how often it is worth repeating.

When a facial may not be suitable

Facials are gentle compared with injectable treatments, but they are not right for everyone at every moment. The deeper treatments on this menu, microneedling and the carbon peel, have stricter guidelines than the Mini Facial or HydroFacial.

We will usually ask you to wait or choose a gentler option if you have an active skin infection or cold sore, a flare of eczema, rosacea or dermatitis, sunburn or a fresh tan, or have recently taken isotretinoin. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, tell us before booking so we can suggest what is appropriate.

Results, aftercare and side effects

Surface facials such as the Mini Facial, HydroFacial and microdermabrasion tend to leave skin feeling smoother and looking fresher, with effects that last a few weeks. Microneedling and the carbon peel work over a course, with changes building gradually. No facial produces permanent results, and how your skin responds varies.

Mild redness, warmth or tightness for a few hours is common after most facials. Deeper treatments can cause redness for a few days, along with dryness or flaking, and less often irritation, breakouts or changes in pigmentation. We will go through the side effects of your chosen facial beforehand. Daily SPF and a break from strong actives for a couple of days apply to almost all of them.

Building facials into a wider skin plan

Many people combine a regular facial with other treatments over time. Someone having skin booster injections for hydration might keep up with a HydroFacial every month or so, for example. We will set out a sensible order and spacing so treatments do not clash, and we will tell you when a facial alone is enough. Cupping (face) at £25 is another option some clients add to their routine.
