Our Advanced Clinical Facials are designed for those who desire transformative result Employing best in class technology to address your most specific concerns with unmatched efficacy, all while staying true to Melanie's signature approach.

Before you book. Every treatment begins with a consultation, and results vary from person to person. Some treatments carry risks, which your therapist will explain; please tell us about any skin or medical conditions, medications, pregnancy or breastfeeding before your appointment. Our treatments are cosmetic and don't replace medical advice or care.

The IPL Photo Facial

A high-performance, non-invasive modality designed to unify tone, refine texture, and improve the look of sun damage. This sophisticated treatment harnesses the synergy of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and targeted radiofrequency to precisely target vascular and pigment irregularities deep within the dermal matrix, while simultaneously promoting long-term skin density and resilience.

By pairing advanced light therapy with our signature clinical care, the IPL Photo Facial effectively clarifies the complexion—yielding a firm, glass-like luminosity and a uniformly radiant tone.

The Matrix Pro RF Microneedling Treatment

A pinnacle of advanced clinical innovation, the Matrix Pro RF Microneedling treatment is a comprehensive solution designed to remodel, firm, and retexturise the complexion from the inside out. This sophisticated modality marries the regenerative power of Collagen Induction Therapy with targeted radiofrequency energy, delivering controlled thermal heat deep into the dermal matrix with precision. By creating precise micro-channels and triggering the skin’s natural wound-healing cascade, the Matrix Pro stimulates a surge in fresh collagen and elastin. Simultaneously, the fractional RF energy causes immediate contraction of existing structural fibres to visibly lift, contour, and tighten skin showing signs of laxity.

Entirely customisable, this next-generation treatment can help refine coarse texture and soften the look of fine lines, deeper wrinkles, acne scarring and enlarged pores. Your session is elevated with a bespoke infusion of growth factors, peptides, and deep hydration boosters, concluded with professional LED Light Therapy to help soothe the skin as it settles. Some redness and mild swelling for a few days is common. Expect a smoother, tighter, and more sculpted complexion, paired with a resilient, glass-like luminosity that builds over time.

Fractionated Erbium Laser Resurfacing Treatment

A gold standard in advanced dermal remodeling, the Fractionated Erbium Laser treatment offers a sophisticated, controlled approach to skin resurfacing. Engineered for those seeking significant corrective results without the extensive downtime of traditional resurfacing, this next-generation laser targets the complexion with microscopic precision. Operating at a wavelength optimally absorbed by the water in our skin cells, the Erbium laser creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones across the dermis while leaving the surrounding skin untouched, which helps it recover. This fractional method triggers an immediate contraction of collagen fibres while activating the skin’s innate healing response, prompting a surge of fresh collagen, elastin, and healthy new skin cells.

Entirely customisable to your unique skin and concerns, this treatment helps soften the visible signs of sun damage, smooths the look of structural lines and wrinkles, refines coarse texture, and minimises the appearance of enlarged pores and acne scarring. To honour the Melanie Grant philosophy of barrier integrity, your treatment is elevated with an infusion of restorative growth factors and lipids, concluded with professional LED Light Therapy to soothe the skin as it recovers. Reveal a polished, densified, and uniformly radiant complexion that embodies a youthful, lit-from-within vitality.

Best Suited For: Those looking to correct advanced sun damage, surface hyperpigmentation, fine lines, structural wrinkles, uneven texture, loss of skin density, coarse texture and shallow scarring.
For the best results, a bespoke course of 1 to 3 treatments spaced 6 weeks apart is recommended, preferably during the cooler months. Expect redness, swelling and flaking for several days after each session.

The Nd:YAG Vascular Laser Facial

A highly targeted, vascular-focused solution, the Long-Pulsed Nd:YAG Laser Facial is engineered specifically to soothe, correct, and unify couperose and highly reactive complexions. For those experiencing chronic redness, flushing, and visible capillary networks, this advanced modality offers a refined approach to vascular correction without disrupting the delicate surface barrier of the skin.

Operating at a precise, deeply penetrating wavelength, the Nd:YAG laser selectively targets the haemoglobin within dilated capillaries and broken micro-vessels. The thermal energy is absorbed by the target vessel, causing it to coagulate and fade, after which the body gradually clears it naturally. This helps reduce the look of diffuse facial redness and visible spider veins around the nose and cheeks, and softens the flushed appearance of couperose skin. Because vascular skin requires the utmost care, the laser application is paired with a continuous cooling system for maximum comfort, followed by a bespoke infusion of vasoconstricting botanicals, replenishing lipids, and calming peptides. The treatment concludes with professional LED Light Therapy utilising Near-Infrared wavelengths to help soothe the skin and support its barrier.

Achieve a calm, resilient, and even-toned complexion that feels deeply comforted and restored.

Best Suited For: Vascular, reactive, and couperose complexions prone to persistent flushing and visible broken capillaries. If you have been diagnosed with rosacea or another skin condition, please tell us when booking; we may ask you to check with your doctor first. While initial clarity can be seen after one session, a progressive series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended for the best result. Results vary, and occasional maintenance sessions may be needed.

The Sublime Skin Tightening Treatment

Sublime Skin Tightening offers a non-invasive targeted solution for those seeking to firm, lift, and contour the complexion with little to no downtime. This advanced treatment utilises a precise combination of bipolar radiofrequency and infrared   to gently yet effectively heat the deeper dermal layers of the skin.

This controlled thermal energy stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, the fundamental building blocks for youthful skin structure. The immediate effect is a gentle contraction of existing collagen fibres, leading to an instant tightening sensation. Over time, as new collagen develops, the skin's architecture is naturally remodeled, resulting in a more toned, lifted, and firm appearance.

Sublime Skin Tightening effectively addresses concerns such as skin laxity, jowls, neck sagging, and loss of facial definition. It is a comfortable procedure, and the skin often feels smoother and firmer straight away; any mild redness usually settles within a few hours. For optimal and lasting results, a series of treatments is recommended.

The Custom Laser Facial Treatment

Lasers and IPL form an integral part of advanced skin treatments, distinguishing themselves for their ability to deliver visible results. 

They can help address a wide range of concerns when it comes to both the texture and the tone of the skin, from sun damage and scarring to loss of elasticity, redness, pigmentation  and textural irregularities, offering new improvements with each subsequent treatment. As with all facets of our practice, every element of the Bespoke Laser Facial is customised entirely for your unique needs and skin presentation. 

To ensure the most effective approach for your skin, we recommend booking a consultation with one of our advanced dermal therapists. This is where we will assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and devise a considered, personalised treatment plan.

The Ultimate Collagen Treatment + Exosome Infusion

Integrating advanced science with your skin's inherent capacity for rejuvenation. Our Collagen Induction Therapy, paired with an exosome infusion, designed to unlock your skin's most luminous potential.

This treatment commences with a double cleanse and enzyme resurfacing, followed by microneedling, a precise technique that creates thousands of microscopic channels across the skin's surface. These controlled micro-injuries serve as powerful signals, awakening your skin's innate healing cascade and prompting a surge in its own production of collagen and elastin. The result is a visibly smoother, plumper, and more resilient complexion.

What sets this treatment apart is the exosome infusion that follows. Exosomes are microscopic vesicles that cells use to communicate, carrying proteins, lipids and growth factors. The exosome serum we use is applied into the freshly created micro-channels, to support the look of calm, healthy skin as it settles after microneedling. Over a course of treatments, you can expect a visible improvement in tone, texture, firmness and radiance, with a softer look to fine lines, scarring and pigmentation. Results vary from person to person, and any redness afterwards comes from the microneedling and usually settles within a day or two.

The Collagen Induction  treatment with Exosome Infusion is  suited for those seeking to improve the look of skin texture and tone, fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring, enhance skin firmness and elasticity, and restore a luminous, youthful glow, while also addressing the look of hyperpigmentation and sun damage.

The Ultimate Collagen Treatment

This dynamic treatment offers a powerful solution for a multitude of common skin concerns, ranging from dilated pores and the look of acne scarring to textural irregularities, fine lines, and wrinkles. The Ultimate Collagen Facial employs advanced Collagen Induction Therapy via skin pen microneedling to refine, retexturise, and accelerate collagen renewal within the deep dermis.
‍

The core of this treatment involves stimulating the skin's natural repair mechanisms, leading to a surge in its own innate collagen production. To amplify these effects, an infusion of a growth-factor serum and dermal boosters is delivered. This helps skin look smoother, firmer and more radiant. Further reinforcing the treatment's efficacy, 830nm LED Light Therapy is used to help calm the skin and support collagen.
‍

The results of this facial are cumulative, building progressively with each session. For optimal and lasting improvements in skin texture, firmness, and overall rejuvenation, a course of treatments are recommended.

The Picoway Treatment

The PicoWay laser represents a true game-changer in skin rejuvenation. This advanced light-based technology delivers ultra-short bursts of energy to the skin, measured in picoseconds—one trillionth of a second. This incredible speed allows for a gentle yet highly effective targeting of specific concerns while limiting heat to the surrounding tissue. Crucially, its picosecond pulse duration generates very little heat, which makes it a suitable option for many deeper skin tones that can be prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation with traditional lasers. Your therapist will assess your skin first and may recommend a test patch.

The PicoWay technology comprehensively addresses all three layers of the skin, from epidermal pigment to deep-dermal laxity, to achieve a truly holistic rejuvenation. It can help improve the look of acne scarring, enlarged pores, sun spots, freckles, stretch marks, wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and various blemishes.

Beyond its ability to improve scarring and visibly smoothen imperfections, PicoWay treatments are also performed to produce a brighter skin tone and a finer, more even texture. By gently heating the lower tissue layers, the body's natural regenerative processes are activated, prompting the creation of new collagen and elastin. This new cellular support bolsters the skin's underlying structure, volume, and elasticity, contributing to a more youthful and resilient complexion.

The Sublative Resurfacing Treatment

This retexturising treatment is one of our most requested treatments for improving the look of significant surface inconsistencies, particularly those related to acne scarring, distended pores, and deeper-set wrinkles.

Utilising customised fractionated radiofrequency to precisely heat the skin, this treatment initiates a targeted contraction in the connective tissue within the dermis and ablates the deeper layers of the epidermis. This action instantly stimulates the skin’s natural healing responses, activating essential intercellular communication and stimulating regenerative tissue. In essence, the skin rapidly deposits new collagen to the treated areas, remodeling and resurfacing the skin into a smoother, finer, and plumper surface.

Some clients see a visible change after a single session; depending on individual skin needs, supplementary sessions may be recommended to assist in achieving the optimal outcome.

To ensure the most effective approach for your skin, we recommend booking a consultation with one of our advanced dermal therapists. This is where we will assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and devise a considered, personalised treatment plan.

The Dermamelan Depigmentation Treatment

Hyperpigmentation stands as one of the most prominent skin concerns encountered in our practice. It manifests in various forms, with effects differing significantly from individual to individual, though fundamentally appearing as brown patches, marks, or splotches across the face, neck, and décolleté.

This condition is primarily caused by excessive sun exposure, hormonal imbalances, inflammation, and injury to the skin. In many instances, hormonally induced pigment, known as Melasma or Chloasma, is notoriously challenging to treat and certainly does not lend itself to a one-size-fits-all solution. This type of pigmentation can, in fact, often be exacerbated by certain laser- based treatments. However, many clients see a visible improvement through targeted depigmentation peels. These treatments can suit all skin types, including darker complexions, after assessment, effectively addressing melanic inconsistencies, brightening and unifying skin tone, and notably improving skin texture.

For those with significantly pronounced or severe pigmentation, Dermamelan offers a modified, more intensive peel, boasting a 30% increase in strength compared to its milder counterpart, Cosmelan. This potent treatment comprehensively addresses melanic inconsistencies, improves overall skin quality, and evens its tone and texture. Procedurally, this involves an  in-clinic application of the peel complemented by a dedicated home care regimen. Some downtime is to be expected, and scheduling is carefully accommodated to plan for optimal timing. Pigmentation, and melasma in particular, can return, so daily sun protection and a maintenance plan are part of the treatment. 

The Cosmelan Depigmentation Treatment

For those that are experiencing mild to moderate hyperpigmentation, Cosmelan offers a refined and expertly formulated approach to addressing melanic inconsistencies. This sophisticated peel is designed to effectively target and reduce the appearance of brown patches, uneven skin tone, and lingering marks, resulting in  a visibly brighter and more unified complexion.

The Cosmelan treatment protocol involves an in clinic, professional peel application to initiate the depigmentation process, working to gently yet effectively inhibit melanin production and accelerate cellular turnover. The peel works synergistically with a crucial, prescribed home care protocol, designed to ensure and optimise the results . This comprehensive, two-phase approach supports ongoing improvement in skin quality, texture, and overall tone, revealing a clearer and more even complexion

While some downtime, typically involving mild redness and peeling, is to be expected as the skin undergoes its renewal process, this is a manageable aspect of the treatment. Scheduling is carefully managed to accommodate individual needs and lifestyles, ensuring the treatment integrates smoothly with personal commitments. Pigmentation, and melasma in particular, can return, so daily sun protection and a maintenance plan are part of the treatment.
