Try: Signature Acne Medi Facial
Suitable for even the most challenging of complexions, the Signature Medi Facial is designed to tackle acne and prevent future breakouts. By incorporating a medical-grade chemical peel with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), the 90-minute treatment does the works: it unclogs and reduces appearance of enlarged pores, eliminates acne-causing bacteria, reduces inflammation and sebum production.

Victoria Facelift

Victoria Facelift is known as the anti-wrinkle and facelift expert – and for good reason. Their treatments are specially geared towards giving customers a painless and natural alternative to looking youthful again. This is with the help of Victoria Facelift’s V-Factor, a unique anti-ageing formula of antioxidants and skin peptides to lift, repair, and restore ageing skin.

Try: Power-Lift Facial
Tailored according to each customer, the Power-Lift Facial promises to counter issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles and sagging skin while boosting radiance and elasticity. It does so with the Power-Lift machine, which emits electromagnetic heat waves to penetrate deeper layers of the skin, activate the collagen regeneration, and aid the renewal of damaged skin cells. You’ll be able to see visible results (think more pronounced cheekbones) after one session but customers can expect a 20-40% improvement* in the skin and face shape from the first to third treatments onwards.

*Individual results may vary
