01Treatments

Six chapters, and what each is for

Everything the studio does, grouped the way it is actually talked about in the room. Every figure here is on the price list, and none of them changes once you are in the chair.

How long something takes and how long it holds are the usual shape of each treatment rather than a promise about yours — skin, dose and habit all move them. What is true for you is what the consultation is for.

Lips

Hyaluronic filler placed along the border and into the body of the lip, until the shape is the one you arrived with — only more certain of itself.

The brief is nearly always the same: fuller, and nobody should be able to say why. That means working to your own lip line rather than over it, and stopping a little earlier than most people expect.

You will see a result the same afternoon, and it will not be the final one — the filler draws water in over the fortnight that follows. Which is why there is a review at two weeks rather than a photograph on the way out.

ReviewTwo weeks later, included
HoldsSix to twelve months
02Anti-wrinkle
Softened, not stopped

Anti-wrinkle

Forehead, frown and the lines around the eyes — relaxed enough that they settle, not so much that your face stops agreeing with you.

One, two or three areas is the usual conversation, and it is worth having before anything is marked out. What a face looks like at rest is only half of it; the half that moves is the half people recognise.

It takes a few minutes and nothing about the rest of the day has to change. The first difference tends to show on the second or third day, and the whole of it at two weeks.

Skin boosters & mesotherapy

Profhilo, polynucleotides, Radiesse and vitamin mesotherapy — injectables that change how skin behaves rather than how it sits.

None of these is a filler and none of them adds shape. They put hyaluronic acid, polynucleotides or a vitamin complex where a cream cannot reach, and the difference shows up as quality: light on the cheekbone, a softer texture, a face that looks like it has slept.

Which one suits depends on what the skin is short of, and that is a five-minute conversation rather than a choice off a menu. Most of them work as a short course rather than a single visit.

Resurfacing & facials

pHformula resurfacing, PRX-T33, BioRePeel, carbon laser and microneedling — chosen for what the skin is doing rather than for what the treatment is called.

pHformula is a resurfacing system rather than a peel. A peel exfoliates; controlled resurfacing provokes the regeneration underneath, with much less of the redness and hiding indoors that the word usually implies.

There are four protocols — ageing, pigmentation, acne and chronic redness — and two facials that are simply a very good hour on your skin. Courses of four are priced together, because that is how they are usually taken.

Drawn once, worn daily

Semi-permanent makeup

Powder brows, lip blush, eyeliner and lash-line enhancement — pigment set into the top layers of the skin, in a shape drawn for your face.

Powder brows are built in dots rather than strokes, so the result is a soft shaded brow rather than a drawn one. It is a treatment in two parts: the first appointment sets shape and colour, and a touch-up six to eight weeks later settles both.

Lip blush tints rather than fills. It will not change the shape of your mouth or how it feels — it evens the colour, sharpens the border, and reads as a lip that has been lightly worn all day.

Brows & lashes

Lamination, lash lift, tinting and shaping — the short appointments that do more than they have any right to.

A lash lift curls each lash from the root and tints it, so the eye opens without anything being stuck on. Lamination makes the same argument for brows: hairs set upward, gaps closed, nothing added.

These are the appointments people book between the larger ones, and the ones most likely to turn into a habit.

Not sure which of these is yours

Most people arrive having read a great deal and booked nothing. Describe what you have noticed and what you have already tried — that is enough to work from, and it is the fastest way to a straight answer.
