16 Jun How to choose what facial to have

Want Facials That Actually Do Something, Not Just Feel Nice

We understand the feeling. You book a facial, relax for an hour, and walk out wondering if anything really changed. A great facial should never feel like that. It should leave your skin calm, glowing, and noticeably improved.

At our Durham salon, we combine luxury spa experiences with advanced skin treatments that are designed to create real, lasting change. Every facial is built around evidence, not guesswork. We only use professional brands with proven research behind them, so you get results that go beyond surface care.

Facials That Go Beyond Creams

There are plenty of facials that focus on scent and relaxation, and while that has its place, we believe your skin deserves more. Whether you are dealing with breakouts, dehydration, dullness, or early signs of ageing, we focus on treatments that get to the cause, not just the symptoms.

Over the past decade, we have watched facial trends evolve. People are no longer satisfied with quick fixes. They want treatments that support the skin’s health from within. Modern clients are more informed, and science has caught up with their expectations.

A study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found that treatments supporting natural skin function, such as enzyme therapy and light-based facials, improve barrier recovery and hydration by up to 60 percent compared to traditional spa facials. That is the difference between temporary glow and long-term change.

Spa-Quality Relaxation with Real Results

Our Germaine de Capuccini facials are used in leading spas around the world. These treatments are scientifically formulated to restore skin vitality while creating complete relaxation. Each facial is tailored to what your skin needs most, whether that is hydration, repair, or brightness.

Every product in this range is backed by over fifty years of research and uses patented ingredients developed through clinical testing. The result is a facial that feels indulgent yet delivers visible improvements to texture and tone.

And yes, every treatment comes with that all-important switch-off time. Many clients drift off completely, which we take as the ultimate compliment.

Advanced Treatments That Retrain the Skin

If your concerns go beyond the surface, our DMK Enzyme Therapy may be the perfect match. This facial does not just work on your skin; it works with your skin. Using oxygen therapy and advanced biochemistry, DMK treatments restore the skin’s ability to function correctly.

This approach helps improve acne, pigmentation, and sensitivity by encouraging real oxygen flow and stimulating the skin’s natural processes. DMK Enzyme Therapy is recognised globally as one of the most effective non-invasive methods for rebuilding healthy skin function.

I often tell clients this is the treatment I choose myself before events or important occasions because it simply works. It helps every skin type look fresher, firmer, and more balanced.

We also offer microneedling, professional peels, and other high-performance treatments, but we use them responsibly. There is no over-stripping, no harsh acids on weakened skin, and no unrealistic promises. Every treatment is designed to strengthen, not stress, your skin.

Why Our Approach Works

The skin is a living organ that repairs itself when supported correctly. Many facial treatments fail because they only focus on the surface. We work deeper, improving circulation, oxygen flow, and cellular energy. When the skin is in balance, everything else follows — hydration, tone, texture, and resilience.

According to research from the International Journal of Dermatology, professional facials that stimulate lymphatic and microcirculatory function can increase nutrient absorption in the skin by up to 50 percent. This is why consistent treatments matter.

Not Sure Where to Start

Most people come to us unsure which facial to choose, and that is completely normal. We always start with a consultation to assess your skin and recommend what will bring you the best results. There is never pressure, only honest advice and the right level of care.

If you want to experience facials that truly work, not just feel good in the moment, we will help you find a plan that makes your skin stronger, calmer, and naturally radiant.
