You can imagine how excited I was to get an opportunity to experience first-hand a Skin Design London VIP personalised Facial

Skin Wellbeing Facelift VIP personalised Face Treatment

The Skin Design London clinic treatments are a residency at John Bell & Croyden. I was greeted by a friendly clinical aesthetician who invited me to lay on a beauty bed which was both warm and welcoming. The day before the aesthetician requested that I complete a questionnaire and before the treatment commenced, we discussed my immediate concerns, hopes and desires for flawless skin.

The aesthetician decided that she would create a custom facial to assist with my dehydrated skin, the texture of my skin, congestion and help deliver a glow to aid pigmentation.

First, the aesthetician personalised a treatment using a cocktail of Skin Design London Professional Peels. The cocktail of peels refreshes and revitalises the skin and preps it for part two.

Second: The Glow Pen, a patented technology to introduce the C V H A R, serum actives. Electroporation Needle. rejuvenates the skin using microneedles stimulating the mesoderm (middle layer of skin) without any scarring and boosting the natural skin healing process and the collagen rearranging process deep into the layers maximizing the efficacy and results.  The cocktails of peptides, amino acids, antioxidants delivered fresh oxygen and vibrancy to my skin.

Third: The finale, designed to tighten, sculpt, and lift. The Face Machine is exclusive to Skin Design London infused with radio frequency, face cupping/suction, laser, and light therapy. This facelift treatment stimulates fibroblast and remodels the skin without downtime. Energising and illuminating the skin. Let your skin journey begin! The result, my skin was left with a heavenly glow.

BeautyLab Black Diamond

A red-carpet-ready collection designed for all skin types, BeautyLab Black Diamond range infused with diamonds, precious gemstones, peptides and mother of pearl delivers both immediate and cumulative youth-enhancing results.

The brand, originally developed for celebrity estheticians, has quickly become an established salon/spa/clinic brand. BeautyLab creates smart, high-performance products that reactivate and re-educate the skin’s functions, delivering both immediate and long-term results.

The BeautyLab Black Diamond product collection is designed to create flawless, radiant skin. Encapsulated diamond cores restore the skin’s ability to reflect blue light, giving skin a radiant, more youthful appearance. Diamonds deliver a soft-focus effect that fills in fine lines and blurs the visibility of wrinkles, shadows, pigmentation, and imperfections, as well as adding luminosity to the skin. Mother of pearl provides excellent but gentle exfoliation, giving the skin a pearly, smooth finish.

Sapphire has a strong anti-inflammatory effect, while Ruby nourishes, heals, and energises the skin. The range is also rich in copper peptides: they moisturise, plump and soften the skin and improve its firmness and suppleness. BeautyLab Black Diamond range provides an instant photogenic look, which is why it is used at red carpet events, TV, and fashion shows, where your skin must look absolutely flawless.

I was so excited to try the Black Diamond collection.
