I couldn't be more impressed with the results of my illumifacial. It addressed multiple skin concerns, including fine lines, uneven texture and discolouration. It effectively targeted any redness and pigmentation. I was amazed at how my skin appeared more even-toned, smoother and noticeably brighter. It was like pressing the reset button for my skin! Total game changer.

Emily Luff

I've been having the illumifacial monthly for about a year now and I'm delighted with the results. I'm very particular about skin treatments I choose and this has worked wonders as I have seen improvements in my skin texture, the pigmentation, broken capillaries and general redness and my skin has definitely become firmer. I receive compliments about my skin constantly now, which does wonders for self esteem too! I would highly recommend the treatment as well as Sophia and her team and lovely clinic.

FAQs

Am I suitable for IllumiFacial?

Treatment is perfect for anyone whose skin exhibits congestion, discolouration and visible signs of ageing, however, a full consultation is carried out prior to treatment to ascertain your suitability and individual treatment needs. A full treatment plan will then be tailored to treat your specific concerns, all aiming to improve the appearance, feel and health of your skin.

How long does an Illumifacial take?

our appointment will be approx 60 minutes.

What should I expect during an IllumiFacial?

You may experience a superficial tingling feeling on the skin and you may see a darkening of pigment spots before they flake away – this means the treatment has worked perfectly in providing you with a more even, flawless skin tone. As well as clearer, healthier skin, you will also experience an ongoing improvement to the firmness and plumpness of your skin in the following months post-treatment, as new collagen is stimulated deep within the skin tissue.

Does IllumiFacial Treatment hurt?

IllumiFacial is a very quick, comfortable treatment which is designed to provide you with ‘optimum skin health’. Some people will feel a slight tingling sensation when the fruit peel is first applied, but it very quickly subsides. The IPL aspect of this treatment can sometimes be mildly uncomfortable – most people describe the discomfort as feeling like a ‘quick pinprick’ and ‘warm feeling’, which is very tolerable.

Is there any downtime after IllumiFacial?

The illumiFacial is a completely non-invasive treatment, using safe, medical-grade equipment to minimise side effects. Your skin may be red and slightly swollen immediately after treatment, but this will subside very quickly. You may also have some patches of dry skin and in very rare cases, a small blister can form with some temporary lightening or darkening of the skin. However, most people experience absolutely no side effects and any reactions usually disappear within a few hours, leaving the skin feeling and looking radiant.

How many IllumiFacial treatments will I need?

A course of 3 facials is recommended (once a month) to achieve the best results but one facial will give you a noticeable difference.

How long between each IllumiFacial Treatment?

You should leave 4-6 weeks between treatments

Can I combine IllumiFacial with other treatments?

Yes! We recommend combining IllumiFacial with Dermalux LED Phototherapy treatments immediately after to enhance and boost results. You could also have other facials and treatments such as Micro needling, Carbon Peel treatments or other targetted facials 2 weeks after Illumifacial.

How the process works

The 4 Stage illumiFacial Skin Rejuvenation Treatment

Step 1: Cleanse

The first step in achieving clear, healthy, radiant skin will involve a deep cleanse, with your illumiFacial® practitioner using a specialist formulation to remove any impurities.

Step 2: Tri-Fruit Acid Peel

Following a deep cleanse, a unique Tri-Fruit Acid Lynton Fruit Peel will be applied to your skin, for anywhere between 3 – 10 minutes. This peel resurfaces skin texture and decongests pores, priming the skin ready for stage 3 of the illumiFacial®.

Step 3: Lynton IPL

Post fruit peel, your skin will be at its optimum condition for the application of the award-winning Lynton Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment. This works by both stimulating collagen and targeting any discolouration on your skin, e.g. freckles, pigmentation, vascular breakouts, general redness. In most cases, the results are instant, providing you with dramatically clearer, firmer skin.

Step 4: Hydrate & Protect

To help maximise the results you’re of your illumiFacial® treatment, a trio of specialist serums will be applied to your skin post-IPL, helping soothe, regenerate and protect your skin.
