Radiant Glow Infusion Facial

Indulge in a luxurious and rejuvenating facial treatment that will leave your skin looking radiant and feeling refreshed. The Radiant Glow Infusion is a comprehensive facial experience that combines advanced techniques and potent ingredients to reveal a smoother, brighter, and more youthful complexion.
The treatment begins with a double cleanse, thoroughly removing dirt and impurities from the skin. This is followed by a steam treatment that opens up the pores, allowing for deeper penetration of the subsequent steps.
Next, we apply Circadia’s Alpha Beta Chemical Peel Solution, a powerful yet gentle exfoliant that targets fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. The peel is neutralised and removed using cool mitts, leaving your skin feeling calm and soothed.
The pièce de résistance is a luxurious facial massage, designed to increase blood flow and stimulate collagen production. This relaxing and invigorating experience will leave your skin looking plumper and more radiant.
But the magic doesn’t stop there. We then apply a pumpkin facial mask infused with bakuchiol, a natural retinol alternative that gently exfoliates and brightens the skin. As the mask works its wonders, we’ll treat your scalp to a soothing massage, stimulating blood flow and promoting healthy hair growth.
After approximately 10 minutes, the mask is removed, leaving your skin feeling soft, supple, and remarkably refreshed. To complete the treatment, we’ll apply a selection of support products, moisturisers, and SPF to hydrate and protect your skin.
Regularly voted our clients’ favourite focus of this facial is the chemical peel process. This unique step not only removes dead skin cells and surface impurities but also stimulates collagen production, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improves skin texture and tone. The result? A radiant glow that lasts long after the treatment has ended.

Do I need a consultation first?

You can enjoy this treatment without consultation however we strongly suggest if you have any skin concerns you wish to address, or specific results wishing to be achieved that you book a separate skin consultation prior to your treatment to allow our skin specialists to create a treatment journey bespoke to you.

What should I expect from the chemical peel? Will my face be peeling off?

Circadia's Alpha Beta Peel is a unique formula that combines the power of lactic acid (alpha-hydroxy acid) and salicylic acid (beta-hydroxy acid). These two alpha/beta acids work in harmony to:

• Lactic acid: Gently exfoliates the skin, dissolving the "glue" that holds dead skin cells together, allowing for a deeper cleanse and brighter, more even-toned complexion. It also helps to improve skin elasticity and hydration.

• Salicylic acid: Unclogs pores, reducing the appearance of blackheads and whiteheads by breaking down dead skin cells and excess oil. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial for acne-prone skin.
The good news is that this peel works on a microscopic level, meaning there's no physical peeling or flaking off of skin. The solution is absorbed into the skin, allowing for a gentle yet effective exfoliation. You might experience some mild redness or tingling sensation during or after application, but this should subside shortly.

Is there anything which would stop me having the treatment?

While Circadia facials are generally considered safe and gentle, there are some contraindications to be aware of:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: There is limited research on the safety of enzyme-based facials during pregnancy and breastfeeding. As a precaution, it's recommended to avoid this facial however we do offer our Nurture facial specifically designed for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

• Open wounds: We would avoid using Circadia facials on areas with open wounds, cuts, or lesions. The enzymes may exacerbate the condition or introduce bacteria into the wound.

• Surgical or injury scars: Circadia facials should not be performed on recently scarred areas, as the enzymes may disrupt the healing process or cause irritation.

• Skin infections: If you have a skin infection, such as cellulitis, folliculitis, or impetigo, it's essential to treat the infection before undergoing a Circadia facial. The enzymes may not be effective and could potentially worsen the infection.

• Skin cancer: If you have a history of skin cancer or are currently undergoing treatment for skin cancer, it's recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before undergoing a Circadia facial.

• Autoimmune disorders: Certain autoimmune disorders, such as psoriasis, eczema, or dermatitis, may require special considerations when undergoing a Circadia facial. Consult with a healthcare provider or dermatologist for personalised guidance.

• Recent chemical peels, injectables or laser treatments: Allow sufficient time for your skin to recover from previous treatments before undergoing a Circadia facial.

• Skin conditions that require systemic treatment: Conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, or acne cysts may require systemic treatment and may not be suitable for Circadia facials.
