Polynucleotide Treatment
What is it? A much-acclaimed new treatment which works with the body’s DNA, polynucleotides are a highly-purified form of salmon DNA that, when injected, promise brighter, more hydrated under-eyes with fewer fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
How does it work? A cannula or needle is used to inject the solution into the area, strategically placed to stimulate the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid.
Is there any downtime? There may be mild swelling after the treatment, but this should resolve within 24 hours. There could also be bruising, lasting for a few days.
How many treatments are required? Three treatments around a month apart are recommended for optimal results, plus a follow-up session every six to nine months.

Bodyroll
What is it? A lymphatic drainage massage which promises to relieve muscle tension, burn calories, help you tone up and reduce cellulite.
How does it work? Bodyroll massages are completed using a machine, each one with rows of wooden rollers sculpted to mimic the fingers of a masseuse. These nodules manipulate lymph nodes and muscles to flush out toxins. Infrared and collagen lamps are also used to widen blood vessels and further help toxins to exit the body. The result is a more sculpted body with smoother, tighter skin.
Is there any downtime? No.
How many treatments are required? Two to three times per week, for around 10 sessions to begin.

Ann Oliver Harvey Semi Permanent Makeup
What is it? The art of implanting pharmaceutical-grade pigment into the upper dermis to enhance features.
How does it work? Using Ann’s experience of more than 25 years in the beauty industry, she carefully restores and balances features using coloured pigment. This includes correcting irregular lip shape, enhancing faint-coloured brows and subtly adding eye and lip liner for long-lasting results that make features pop and give a more youthful appearance.
Is there any downtime? No, though there may be some light scabbing depending on the procedure.
How many treatments are required? The number is dependent on which treatment you choose..

How many treatments are required? One to two treatments, depending on skin condition.

Hydrafacial Ultimate
What is it? The most intensive Hydrafacial experience, leaving skin looking and feeling its absolute best.

Is there any downtime? No.
How many treatments are required? One will leave you with fabulous skin, though a course of facials is recommended for best results.

Authenticity Signature Aura Cleanse
What is it? A unique treatment that blends spa skincare with holistic reiki to rejuvenate both skin and spirit.
How does it work? Lauren will begin with a warm oil cleanse accompanied by an essential oil-infused steam before moving on to a foam cleanse and blackhead extractions. Intuitively-selected crystals will be placed on the body to harmonise chakras, before an enzyme peel is performed for gentle exfoliation. A cooling jelly mask is then applied to the face and techniques such as facial sculpting, skin cupping and ice globes are all employed. A shoulder massage is performed, plus hair combing and scalp massage alongside the soothing sounds of Tibetan bowls. The treatment is concluded with an angel card reading.
Is there any downtime? No.

Brazilian Lymphatic Draining
What is it? A detoxification massage that sculpts and contours the body.
How does it work? The massage helps the body to eliminate toxins up to 20 times faster, reducing fluid retention, bloating and swelling. The result is improved lymphatic flow, which not only gives an impressive physical change but also improves circulation and sluggishness.
Is there any downtime? No.
How many treatments are required? One to three monthly.

SkinPen Facial
What is it? The first FDA-approved micro-needling treatment that works to safely and effectively reduce acne scarring and wrinkles.
How does it work? The SkinPen creates hundreds to thousands of microscopic punches in the outer layers of the skin. This stimulates the skin’s natural ability to repair itself, triggering the natural healing process by producing collagen without causing stress or scar tissue formation. This is followed by LED light treatment, calming the skin and giving an extra collagen boost.
Is there any downtime? Skin may be red after treatment, and you shouldn’t wear makeup or exercise for 24–48 hours afterwards. It’s also advised not to use any active ingredients on the skin for a week following.
How many treatments are required? Just one will give visible results, though a course of three treatments is recommended.

Eight-Point Face Lift
What is it? A non-invasive face lift focusing on eight main points of the face.
How does it work? Minimal dermal filler is precisely placed to lift and contour specific areas for maximum effect. As a result, the face will appear more youthful and symmetrical, giving a bright, rejuvenated appearance which still appears natural.
Is there any downtime? There may be swelling or bruising which should resolve within 24 hours.
How many treatments are required? Just one will give amazing results, though more than one may be required to give desired results.

PRP
What is it? A more natural alternative to filler that uses the body’s own blood plasma to target hair loss, wrinkles and pigmentation.
How does it work? The treatment begins with a blood sample – precious plasma is extracted from this sample in a centrifuge before being injected into the skin. Once injected, the plasma brings blood flow and nerve tissue to the area, stimulating collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production and boosting your immune system for glowy, more youthful skin.
Is there any downtime? No.
How many treatments are required? A course of treatments will be recommended by a nurse.

Full SkinStorm Red Carpet Facial Treatment
What is it? The ultimate facial combining six treatments for show-stopping results, without filler or injectables.
How does it work? Targeting all skin concerns, this facial begins with an ice cleanse which chills the skin to just above freezing using dissolved oxygen, whilst vacuuming out impurities. Then, skin is resurfaced to improve texture before a peel is applied. Drone technology then pushes chilled serum into the skin which hydrates and plumps, before a no-needle injection pushes hyaluronic acid into the skin’s upper layers to work as natural filler. Finally, targeted light therapy combines red, blue and near infrared light to leave skin repaired and glowing.
Is there any downtime? No.
How many treatments are required? Just one gives amazing results.
