​

Medik8 Clarity expert facial treatment is carried out in minimum 5 steps with an option to add 6th step of BLUE L.E.D facial treatment to further enhance the results.

​​

Step 1 Consultation, Skin Analysis and Preparation (10 min): 

During the first step of the facial treatment our therapists will analyse your skin to varify the suitability of the treatment and perform consultation to understand your skin's requirements and plan any customisations needed. 

​

Double cleansing is performed using Pore Cleanse Gel and if required by your  skin the second cleansing is customised with Medik8 Professional  Bambo Micro Polish a fine exfoliating powder.  Bambo Micro Polish is naturally derived from the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia. 

​

Bamboo fibres secrete natural silica, which is used to form the micro-exfoliators. When rubbed gently into the skin, the bamboo micro-exfoliators physically slough off dead skin cells to reveal luminous, refreshed skin underneath.​

​

Pore Cleanse Gel is a deeply clarifying gel cleanser, gently removes daily impurities and oil to minimise the appearance of enlarged pores leaving the complexion hydrated and smooth. Ideal for customers concerned with enlarged pores and premature skin ageing.  Perfect for those with oily, combination skin types.

Step 2 Enzymatic Exfoliation & Steaming (10 min): 

Enzymatic Exfoliation step prepares the skin for further steps in the treatment by gently resurfacing it. Medik8 Professional Super Facial is an effective enzymatic peel which brightens the dull or hyperpigmented skin.

The effect of this step is further enchanged by using steam if your skin is suitable for steaming or Super Facial is left on the skin for up to 10 minutes on its own. 

​​

If needed a manual pore extraction will be included to enhance the results of Pore Refining Facial.

The Purifying Charcoal Mask which is a Detoxifying & Refining Mask is applied during this step of the treatment protocol. It combines activated charcoal with natural clays and moringa to absorb impurities and blockages from the pores whilst detoxifying the cells.  Helping to refine the appearance of enlarged pores leaving the skin detoxified, deeply cleansed and fresh.

This enchangement helps to balance oil production and bacteria to tackle the look of blemishes and congestion. Soothes visible redness and helps to improve the look of dark spots for a more even complexion. This serum also deeply hydrates the skin and provide essential skin barrier.
