It is a very exciting time at the salon as we are currently in the process of rebranding and a refurbishment. The refurbishment work will take place over the next few weeks. We are endeavouring to keep the salon open throughout the period of refurbishment as the work will take place when the salon is usually closed (i.e. Sunday and Monday). We are aiming to complete the work this summer and look forward to welcoming you to our newly refurbished salon.

Achieve visible results without surgery with CACI non-surgical solutions

CACI is a machine that uses a variety of clever attachments – wands, combs and brushes to lift, tone, hydrate and plump the skin. Our CACI treatments use different techniques including micro-currents, light therapy, microdermabrasion and a super hydrating mask to achieve impressive results.

Just like any exercise you need to keep working on it to see long lasting results. The effect of the CACI machine is dramatic and immediate but to help retrain your muscles fight the pull of gravity and time, a course of treatments is highly recommended. If you book a course of 10 treatments we will give you 2 complimentary treatments as our treat to you.

We want you to get the most effective results and will work with you to create a bespoke package that fits your skin’s individual needs. Book in for a free consultation today (0207 821 1020) and let us design a course of treatments specifically for you. We are offering £10 off your first CACI treatment (quote code CACI40) so don’t miss out!

CACI ULTIMATE NON-SURGICAL FACELIFT 1HR                                                                                                £85

Using CACI’s pain free ‘micro-current’ technique the therapist will be able to give your face an immediate lift. During this treatment all 32 facial muscles are gently manipulated and re-educated by a trained therapist using a series of precise movements. Soft cotton tipped wands are used on the face to transmit the micro-current impulses to lift and tone the facial muscles and the neck area, whilst improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This gives a youthful, fresh appearance and glow.

AMAZING CACI ADD ONS TO PERSONALISE YOUR TREATMENTS. YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO HAVE THESE TREATMENTS ON THEIR OWN (30 MINS FOR £50)

CACI ULTIMATE HYDRATONE MASK 15MINS                                                                                                      £25

This treatment combines active micro-current rollers (which help restore muscle tone and firmness) with a unique, electrically conductive Hydro mask that has been infused with hydrating actives including collagen, hyaluronic acid and rose water to deeply nourish and deliver a burst of moisture to the skin that will soothe and calm any skin redness and irritation. The rollers gently massage the face causing the mask to become electrically charged so that the hydrating actives within the mask are able to penetrate deeper into the skin layers. This deep level hydration makes the skin dramatically softer and plumps it up, helping smooth deep lines and wrinkles.  It is also extremely beneficial for those who suffer from dark circles around the eyes. This treatment is ideal for special occasions and brides to be.

CACI ULTIMATE MICRODERMABRASION 15MINS                                                                                             £25

This treatment removes the outer layer of the skin by light abrasion to reveal the softer, more youthful looking skin cells underneath. The light abrasion of the skin also triggers the body’s own natural repair mechanism which stimulates the production of new collagen and releases complex carbohydrates to rehydrate and replenish the recently abraded area. This is an outstanding treatment for those with fine lines and wrinkles, light scarring or uneven skin pigmentation.

CACI ULTIMATE LIGHT THERAPY (WRINKLE COMB) 15MINS                                                                     £25

This intensive non-invasive treatment is especially effective on the nasolabial lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth. It can be used as an effective pro-skin alternative to collagen injections.

INCREDIBLE CACI 1 ½ HRS                                                                                                                                       £120

We have combined three effective CACI treatments; CACI’s micro-current technique, microdermabrasion and the hydratone mask to create the ultimate facelifting treatment. After a full skin and lifestyle consultation the therapist will cleanse, hydrate, plump and lift your skin to achieve amazing results.

Here are some useful tips to help keep your skin hydrated and looking beautiful…

Drink water! Make sure you drink lots of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated. Adding lemon to your water will not only add some flavour but will help to detox your body and skin.

Opt for oily, natural and gentle soaps or cleansers. Stay away from harsh soaps as these will take away natural oils from the skin.

One of the best ways to treat dry skin is to use a natural ingredient such as honey, you can apply it to the dry skin areas and then wash off after a few minutes. 

Eat Avocados! What you put into your body will reflect on the outside. Avocados are a great food source that will help keep your skin hydrated.

Get your hands on Environ hydrating oil capsules (available at Incredible You). These tried and tested capsules are great for dry, fragile skin as they will provide it with a burst of hydration, antioxidants and retinol. They will not only soften and moisturise your skin but the antioxidants are proven to combat visible signs of ageing, another bonus! Due to the nature of the active ingredients, this is a consultation only product. Please call 0207 821 1020 for pricing and further information. (We are stockist of Environ®)

Applying a face mask for dry skin after a gentle exfoliation will help with dryness. It will absorb into the upper layers of the skin to nourish and plump the skin and leave it feeling hydrated, comfortable and glowing.

Don’t over exfoliate! Over exfoliation will irritate the skin and therefore dry it out even more. You can still exfoliate but opt for a more gentle exfoliator that doesn’t contain beads or grains that can tear your skin.

Have regular facials. Facials will provide your skin with instant hydration and allow you to walk out with beautiful, glowing skin. Book in for a Signature Facial today by phone 0207 821 1020 or book online.

Book an appointment online and let us give your skin that much needed TLC.

Many people often think that sun protection is only required on a very hot day when the sun is shining or is essential when we go to a sunny holiday destination. On a grey, cloudy day sun protection cream is not usually incorporated into most people’s morning skincare regime but it really should be.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation given off by the sun is made up of three wavelengths: UVA, UVB, UVC. We are protected from UVC rays by the ozone layer, however, UVA and UVB rays penetrate the atmosphere.

UVA rays hit the deepest skin layer and play an important role in ageing and wrinkling of the skin and are thought to be involved in skin cancers. UVB, known as the burning ray, does not penetrate the skin layers to the same extent as UVA rays. UVB rays are also involved in ageing of the skin and the development of skin cancers.

It is important to ensure that you follow regular guidelines to limit time in the midday sun, use shade wisely, use a broad spectrum sunscreen of SPF 15+ and reapply every 2 hours or after working, swimming, playing or exercising outdoors.

UVA and UVB rays exist on a grey, cloudy day and UVA rays can pass through glass and clouds so your skin needs to be protected from these harmful rays all year round to limit the damaging effects and avoid premature ageing and wrinkling of the skin.

Product we recommend for sun protection:

RAD (SPF 15) sunscreen from Environ is a great product which will provide you with UVA and UVB protection. It contains sun absorbant filters that absorb part of the sun’s radiation and sun reflectants which will reflect the sun’s radiation. Antioxidants are also found in this product and they will protect your skin from harmful free radical damage and increase sun protection.

Due to the nature of the active ingredients, this is a consultation only product. Please call 0207 821 1020 for pricing and more information.
