Kichi Studio: The Babyface Facial, for complete skin rejuvenation and glow

See: Natasha Clancy at Kichi Studio, 14 Hanover House, Hanover Square, W1S 1HN

This bespoke treatment is one of the best-advanced facials you can get in London for boosting glow or skin rejuvenation and is favoured amongst the likes of Sienna Miller and Emilia Clarke. This new laser, by Lutronic LaseMD, is a high-tech, non-ablative thulium laser that gently creates micro-channels through the skin and small reservoirs under the surface that maximises the absorption of revitalising compounds such as retinol, tranexamic acid, resveratrol and vitamin C by penetrating the skin barrier.

Natasha Clancy, a facialist, aesthetician and the walking poster girl for naturally glowy skin, has seen spectacular results; she says, “It’s an incredibly gentle treatment with zero downtime, so many people often have this done in their lunch break. In addition, the laser creates microchannels within the skin which allow us to apply revitalising compounds of retinol, tranexamic acid, resveratrol and Vitamin C - depending on the results we hope to achieve.”

If you break it down, Babyface by LaseMD can reverse up to five years of photoaging each session, the skin is completely resurfaced, and you’re left with glowing, revitalised, lifted skin while targeting fine lines and the signs of ageing.

It can treat everything from active acne to fine lines, skin texture, pigmentation and skin laxity problems, and all treatments are bespoke. So if you have a few days of recovery time, Clancy will increase the volume for a more intense session and even better results. Book now!

​Dr David Jack Clinic: The Egyptian Facial, for a modern twist on an ancient technique.

See: Izabela Pawlitka at Dr David Jack, 96 Harley Street, London W1G 7HY. Treatments from £250

Rumour has it that 2,000 years ago Cleopatra's flawless complexion was maintained by regular fruit and milk peels and a spot of face shaving. At Dr Jack, these methods of resurfacing and refining the skin have been modernised and perfected with their Egyptian Facial.

Izabela Pawlitka applies a fruit-based glycolic acid peel, followed by gently shaving the top layer of the skin. This allows the cocktail of vitamin and pro-collagen serums that are then applied to perfectly penetrate your skin. No wonder there's been a 40% uptake in the treatment. We'll see you in the queue.
