ACNE PROGRAMME

Science-led. Holistically inspired. Results-driven.

Acne is inherently a skin disorder that needs to be consistently managed, as acne cannot be ‘cured’. After working alongside dermatologists, Sophie was surprised how quickly medications were prescribed, realising that she could clear acne with products, treatments and lifestyle changes. Most acne treatments focus on reducing oil production and eliminating bacteria on the surface of the skin, which helps but is only part of the acne picture. The root cause of acne is an over-shedding of skin cells, to which people with acne are genetically predisposed. These skin cells are 'sticky' and can easily clog pores, creating breakouts when excessive oil and bacteria come into play.

Sophie’s programme focuses on dealing with this root cause using clinically-backed products and ingredients, plus taking a holistic view of the client by addressing diet, lifestyle and home-care. The acne programme is a commitment, but an effective course of action. Her aim is for you to not only feel confident, but to have a better understanding of your unique skin and what it needs to glow.

ACNE PROGRAMME | STUDIO

This programme steers away from the standard, single-session acne treatment often found on spa menus - acne evolves, and so should your facial.

Sophie combines her corrective skincare products, clinically-backed devices and signature tools to tailor each facial to your skin's changing needs on the day, meaning no two treatments are the same. This programme acknowledges the multifaceted nature of acne - it delves into every aspect to provide holistic solutions to achieve lasting results.

Sophie's Acne Programme offers not just a treatment, but a complete journey to transformative skin. You're in good hands.

    Whilst we don't ask for all the payments upfront, we do ask for your commitment for the duration of the programme.

    Check-ins by email are complimentary over the duration of the acne programme.

    • FIRST TIME CLIENTS | 90 MINUTES

      The first 30 minutes of your appointment will be a thorough skin consultation. We'll go through everything from your skin goals and current home-care routine to your diet and lifestyle. Your 30-minute consultation includes a cleanse and skin analysis under a magnifying lamp. We will then discuss the best treatment plan for you and your acne and take a photo of your skin (which will remain private) to enable us to track your skin journey. The next 60 minutes are dedicated to your facial, using a combination of technology, tools, and corrective skincare specifically selected to suit your acne and your skin's current needs. At the end of the treatment, we'll go over your new home-care routine (which is a separate cost - see more details under acne management system), plus diet, lifestyle and general aftercare advice.

    • RETURNING CLIENTS | 75 MINUTES

      The first 15 minutes of your appointment will be spent determining what your skin needs during your facial. We'll also discuss your previous treatment, update any medical forms or history if needed, and take another photo of your skin to continue to track your progress. The next 60 minutes are dedicated to your facial, using a combination of technology, tools, and corrective skincare specifically selected to suit your acne and your skin's current needs. At the end of the treatment, we'll adjust your home-care routine if needed and make any other amendments required to accelerate your skin journey.

  • All skincare used during your facial is customised to target your unique skin. All treatments include a double cleanse, exfoliation, mask, eye treatment, serum, moisturiser and SPF.

  • One or more of the following devices, tools and treatments will be selected for your facial, depending on what your skin needs on the day:

    • LED : A form of light therapy that penetrates the skin to target different concerns. Results in skin rejuvenation, tissue repair, reduced inflammation, decrease in harmful bacteria, and collagen stimulation.

    • EXTRACTIONS: Extraction is the process of clearing a clogged or compacted pore by manual or mechanical means. Nearly all acne facials will include extractions, however the duration of this will vary depending on your type of acne and your comfort level.

    • ULTRASONIC SKIN SLIDER: The ultrasonic skin slider uses high frequency to gently dislodge even the most stubborn built-up dirt and debris, effectively making pores look less stretched. By removing the build-up, treatment products are better able to penetrate the skin leading to smoother, brighter skin overall.

    • CHEMICAL PEEL: Chemical peels are applied to the face to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new cells. The type of peel selected will depend on your skin and what type of acne we are treating.

    • CRYO LYMPHATIC MASSAGE: Combines the gentle pressure of lymphatic massage with the cooling benefit of cryotherapy. The light movement of lymph drainage leaves skin looking de-puffed, bright and toned, whilst cryotherapy works to constrict capillaries to calm and soothe inflamed skin, improving skin texture and tone.

    • HYDROJELLY:  A new generation of peel-off masks boosted with pure algae, actives and new electrolyte technology. Hydrojelly masks are organic and electrolyte infused to help increase skin’s ability to retain moisture and improve overall skin health.

  • You can expect to take home an 'acne management system' which will be your new home-care routine. These products will be tailored to your skin and target your acne every day at home (which is essential when managing acne!). These are the only products you will be using during your acne programme. The whole line will cost around £260-£300 and you can expect to replenish products every 5-10 weeks depending on the product.

  • After your facial, your skin will instantly feel hydrated and look cleaner, brighter, and healthier. You may experience a little redness immediately after your treatment, but this shouldn't last more than one to two hours.

    As your skin is unique, there is no concrete answer to when you will see an improvement, however acne, on average, has a three month lifespan start to finish - so we should be seeing some serious results by the end of the third month. We will take photos of your skin throughout the programme to track your progress.
