The rise of advanced facials has brought clinical-grade innovation into luxury spas and specialist skin clinics. From high-tech tools to customised treatments involving enzymes, peptides, and laser technology, these facials are tailored to your skin’s unique needs and goals. The best part? Many offer instant results. Think achieving a pre-party glow or instant lymphatic drainage, with smoother, brighter skin straight off the treatment bed.
But with so many options, finding the right facial can feel overwhelming. These in-demand facial treatments offer different results, so whether you’re looking for a radical cumulative change to your skin over time or just a skin-refresh, these are the best advanced facial treatments in London that deliver on their promise.
Now in my late 30s, I have as many fine lines as I once had all-night benders, so I’d be lying if I said I’d never considered botox. But having weighed up the pros and cons, I vowed never to turn to needles and started looking at low intervention and lower cost options. This is where Justine Masters comes in – once a burnt out fashion stylist, now a holistic facialist: her approach takes into account mind and gut health and its impact on the skin. She tells me she can see screen time written all over my face and explains I must be holding tension in my neck, which feels entirely plausible. My time with her feels like a combination of therapy and a spa session, as she asks questions about my lifestyle and ensures I’m as comfortable as possible before she starts my treatment. The No-Tox facial involves a combination of Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS), LED red light therapy and cryo therapy at around 15 minutes each. I went on a particularly sunny Tuesday morning so the cryo felt delightful, albeit a bit weird. The pinching of the EMS sensation even felt somewhat addictive. Justine very kindly offered me some Reiki during the facial (charged separately) and thanks to that I had the best sleep in over a year that night. The following day I woke to brighter, dewy and more even skin which lasted for weeks. If you’re looking for a none-surgical alternative to Botox, with zero downtime, Justine’s your girl. £250, 60 mins.
