Dull skin

Dull skin is the result of three things working together: a build-up of dead skin cells on the surface (which scatters light unevenly), dehydration in the upper layers (which makes the skin look flat), and slower cellular turnover that comes with age, stress, sun damage, smoking and a poor diet. Pollution and dry indoor heating accelerate all three. The fix combines surface renewal, hydration and deeper bio-stimulation.

A Hydrafacial is the fastest visible result, most patients see a noticeable change within twenty-four hours of the session. The six-step protocol cleanses, exfoliates, extracts and infuses serums in one hour with no downtime. It is the treatment most patients book ahead of a wedding, a photoshoot or any event where the skin needs to read on camera.

It depends on which treatment is matched to your plan. Hydrafacials are usually booked every four to six weeks for maintenance, monthly if you are working on a specific concern. Profhilo is a two-session course every six to twelve months. Chemical peels are usually run as a course of three to six sessions, then maintenance every two to three months. The cadence is agreed at consultation as a written plan rather than sold session by session.

Hydrafacial has no downtime, patients return to work, the gym or the school run straight after. Light enzyme peels also have no downtime; medium-depth peels may cause two to three days of mild flaking. Profhilo leaves five small bumps on each side for forty-eight to seventy-two hours which settle naturally. Dermapen microneedling causes redness for twenty-four hours and mild flaking for two to three days. We confirm the timing of any visible recovery at consultation so you can plan around it.

Each treatment has a different runway. A single Hydrafacial lasts three to four weeks before the next session is worthwhile. A Profhilo course lasts six to nine months before the next round. A chemical peel course holds for three to six months with maintenance. Dermapen microneedling delivers a result that continues to build for three months after the final session. Long-term radiance depends on the home routine as much as the in-clinic plan, sun protection, hydration, sleep, and a barrier-supporting morning and evening regime.

Hydrafacial starts at the entry-level Express session price and runs up through the longer concern-targeted bundles. Profhilo is sold as a two-session course. Chemical peels and Dermapen microneedling are sold per session with discounts on a course of three. The full plan price is agreed in writing at your free consultation before any session is booked.

Yes, with timing. Active home retinoids and exfoliating acids are usually paused for three to seven days before and after each in-clinic session to avoid stacking irritation. We walk you through which products to pause and when at the consultation, and confirm aftercare in writing before you leave the first session.
