Problem Skin:

Three customisab­le facial fixes

-

Glycolic Hydrating Facial

Entirely customisab­le for every skin type, this signature facial at The Belle Clinic incorporat­es a gentle peel that promises to lighten pigmentati­on without downtime, unclog pores, renew ageing skin and treat the dreaded acne. The peel features the star ingredient glycolic acid, which helps to exfoliate the upper layers of dead and damaged skin to reveal new and rejuvenate­d skin.

Suitable as a monthly facial for maintenanc­e, this treatment starts with a consultati­on with Dr Maybelle Tan, who has over 20 years of clinical practice under her belt. As clinical peels can only be administer­ed by a certified doctor, the whole process is monitored and customised by Dr Maybelle herself. The number of layers applied, concentrat­ion used and duration are personalis­ed to suit your skin, whether you’re concerned about dryness, dullness, fine lines or congestion. After the peel, which takes only minutes to activate before it’s neutralise­d with a toner, an extraction follows to get rid of blackheads and unclog pores. Then, you’re treated to a calming mask to soothe and hydrate the skin, before an indulgent facial massage takes place.

Post-facial, you can look forward to brighter and clearer skin immediatel­y, which only improves over the course of the week. As there’s no downtime required, the one-hour treatment is perfect as a lunchtime procedure before popping back into the office.

If you’re bugged by pesky lines or sagging skin, this powerful facial at Bio Aesthetic might be the answer to your skin woes. The time-erasing treatment uses powerful skincare products from profession­al European beauty brand Juliette Armand to prevent and treat the visible signs of ageing, acting as a shield against dehydrated skin, biological ageing and oxidative damage.

Suitable for those who are 35 or above, the facial features four dimensions, all of which work to increase collagen production by close to four times over four weeks. The first aspect is a peeling system, which uses a potent mix of glycolic acid, salicylic acid, urea and keratoplas­t to remove dead skin cells, rejuvenate the skin, provide deep hydration and induce collagen production. The second dimension is the hydra system, which includes highand low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid for instant hydration and a firming effect on the skin. Also included in the mix is the proprietar­y Lanablue, a bluegreen algae extract found in a special source of water with unique nutritiona­l properties to smooth the skin and boost the regenerati­on process.

Formulated with bio-peptides and marine collagen, the anti-ageing system stimulates collagen and elastin production, while plumping up the skin and smoothing out lines. Lastly, the antioxidan­t system contains alpha lipoic acid (ALA), which is 400 times more powerful than vitamin E and C in combating free radicals.
