Facial Treatments Demystified: Your Path to Radiant Skin

Your skin tells a story—and at Gilded Dreams, we help you write a beautiful one. Professional facial treatments are the cornerstone of effective skincare, offering benefits that home routines simply can't match.

Why Professional Facials Matter

While your daily skincare routine is important, professional facials provide:

Deeper cleansing — Professional extraction removes impurities that home products can't reach
Expert analysis — Trained aestheticians assess your skin's unique needs
Professional-grade products — Higher concentrations of active ingredients deliver visible results
Specialised techniques — Massage and manipulation improve circulation and lymphatic drainage
Customisation — Treatments tailored to your skin type, concerns, and goals

Our Signature Facial Treatments

Hands-On Signature Facial — 30 mins | £36

Our express facial is perfect for maintaining glowing skin between deeper treatments. A thorough cleanse, tone, and nourish using products selected for your skin type. Includes face, neck, and shoulder massage to boost circulation and promote relaxation. Ideal for busy schedules or first-time facial clients.

Luxury Facial — 60 mins | £52.50

Our most popular treatment. This comprehensive facial includes deep cleansing, gentle extraction, custom mask application, and intensive serums. The extended massage technique targets tension in the face, neck, and décolletage. Clients leave with visibly brighter, more hydrated skin and a profound sense of relaxation.

Prime & Peel Express — 30 mins | £36

For those seeking more intensive skin renewal, this treatment uses professional-grade exfoliating acids to remove dead skin cells and stimulate fresh cell turnover. Expect mild tingling during application and glowing results within days. Not recommended for sensitive skin.

Prime & Peel Deluxe — 60 mins | £66

Our most intensive facial treatment combines chemical exfoliation with deep nourishment. Multiple acid solutions address specific concerns like fine lines, pigmentation, or acne scarring, followed by soothing masks and intensive hydration. Downtime is minimal, but results are remarkable.

Botox in a Bottle — 60 mins | £64

This non-invasive treatment uses advanced peptide technology to smooth fine lines and wrinkles without needles. Argireline and Syn-Ake peptides work similarly to injectable treatments, relaxing facial muscles for a softer, more youthful appearance. Results improve over 2-4 weeks and last for months.

Microdermabrasion — 45 mins | £52.50

Mechanical exfoliation using fine crystals removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells, revealing fresher, brighter skin underneath. Excellent for reducing fine lines, mild acne scarring, sun damage, and uneven texture. A series of treatments delivers cumulative benefits.
