The thoroughly cleansing facial uses AQUALAB - a unique combination of microdermabrasion, vacuum suction and aqua fuse aquation, to clean the skin, targeting clogged, visible pores.

The range of spiral tips, suctions, and serum infusions are all used in a sequence of facial treatments to target specific customised concerns, followed by further techniques including exfoliation, a mild peel, extractions, and infusion of antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid.
