Vitamin C is a much-loved skincare ingredient thanks to its:
Brightening properties – helping to improve the look of dullness and uneven tone
Antioxidant support – assisting the skin in defending itself from everyday environmental stressors
Collagen-supporting role – helping the skin appear firmer and more elastic over time
In this tailored facial, Vitamin C is layered with gentle exfoliation, hydrating masks and soothing massage to give your skin an instant glow while also supporting longer-term skin health.
We begin with a chat about your current skincare, any concerns (such as dullness, fine lines or mild pigmentation) and what you hope to achieve. Your skin is assessed so the products can be tailored to you.
A thorough double cleanse removes make-up, SPF and impurities, leaving the skin fresh and ready to benefit from the treatment.
A suitable exfoliating product is chosen to lift away surface dead skin cells and help smooth the skin. This step also allows the Vitamin C products to absorb more effectively.
Professional-strength Vitamin C serum or ampoule is applied, followed by a relaxing facial massage to encourage circulation and help the skin look bright and revitalised.
A Vitamin C-enriched or complementary brightening mask is applied. You’ll be able to relax while it works, often with a neck and shoulder massage or scalp massage, depending on your preferences.
The facial is completed with tailored moisturiser, eye product and a protective SPF. You’ll leave feeling pampered, with skin that looks refreshed and glowing.
1. Consultation & Planning
We take a full medical history and discuss your concerns, current routine and what you’d like to achieve. Together we decide whether skin boosters, PN treatments – or a combination – are right for you.
2. Numbing & Preparation
The treatment area is cleansed and, where appropriate, a topical numbing cream is applied to keep you comfortable.
3. Series of Precise Injections
Using fine needles, tiny amounts of product are placed just under the surface of the skin in a series of points. You may feel light stinging or pressure but this is usually very manageable and relatively quick.
4. Post-Treatment Care
There may be small visible bumps and some redness immediately afterwards; these usually settle over the following hours to days. You’ll be given simple aftercare instructions, including when to avoid make-up and how best to look after the area.
It may help improve the appearance of mild uneven tone and sun-related dullness over time, especially when combined with good SPF habits. For more stubborn pigmentation, Sharon might recommend a course of peels or other targeted treatments.
It can be adapted for some acne-prone skins, particularly where the main concern is dullness rather than active, inflamed breakouts. Very inflamed acne may be better suited to a different protocol – this will be discussed during your consultation.
Many Vitamin C products are considered suitable in pregnancy, but it depends on the exact formulation and your medical history. Please mention pregnancy or breastfeeding at booking so your treatment can be tailored safely.
Yes – most clients feel comfortable returning to normal activities straight away. You’re likely to look fresher rather than “treated”.
Sharon can suggest a simple home routine, often including a suitable Vitamin C product, gentle cleanser, moisturiser and daily SPF. Consistency is key.
