Dermalogica LuminFusion
Hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles are no match for this mash-up. Dermalogica introduces LuminFusion, an advanced, 60-minute skin treatment performed exclusively by a Dermalogica skin therapist. LuminFusion combines powerful retinol and hydroxy acid blend, targeted eye peel and Daily Microfoliant for exfoliation stacking, nano infusion technology to infuse active ingredients, and LED red light therapy to provide that ultimate skin glow - all leading to unparalleled skin luminosity with no downtime.
LuminFusion is started with a double cleanse to remove makeup and oils, followed by an exfoliant packed with retinol, salicylic, and lactic acid that offers a professional level of resurfacing. Further to this, a targeted eye peel patch is applied to exfoliate and hydrate
in one step. A skin therapist then performs nano infusion around the eyes to drive actives deeper followed by nano infusion over the exfoliant, supporting ingredient penetration and amplifying skin resurfacing. As a final level of exfoliation stacking the formula is removed with a frothy application of Daily Microfoliant, revealing visibly brighter skin only halfway through the treatment.
The client is then prepped for red light therapy (LED) to energize and boost skin regeneration. Dermalogica’s professional-only Light Energy Masque is applied to work synergistically with LED and amplify treatment results. Finally, the masque is removed, instantly revealing smoother, more radiant, glass-like skin.
LuminFusion draws on the use of Dermalogica’s new ProPen, a professional-only microneedling and nano infusion device in one. Along with Dermalogica’s professional-grade exfoliants and masques, the LuminFusion treatment helps clients achieve their healthiest skin in partnership with their skin therapist.
LuminFusion is available at Dermalogica’s flagship on Duke of York Square, retail locations; Harrods, Liberty, Selfridges Oxford Street, Selfridges Trafford, Harvey Nichols Knightsbridge, Harvey Nichols Leeds, Harvey Nichols Manchester, John Lewis Cheadle, John Lewis Reading, John Lewis Stratford, Flannels Liverpool, Ely's Wimbledon, Voisins (Jersey), and nationwide at participating authorized Dermalogica stockists.
[ comfort zone ] FACE SPAce
Designed for visitors who may prefer a more social spa experience, [ comfort zone ] FACE SPAce offers an area outside of the traditional treatment room that allows them to interact with their therapist and others around them. Placed comfortably on exclusively designed chairs in front of a full-length mirror, guests can benefit from both the educational interaction with their therapist, while observing the visible ‘lifting’ results on their skin in real time.
Inspired by physiotherapy practices and aided by the use of facial devices, the therapist will use unique ‘active lifting’ massage techniques designed to work on the deeper muscles and bone joints in the face to release tension, stimulate collagen production, boost micro-circulation and improve skin elasticity.
Working in synergy with the massage techniques are various facial tools which include the use of cryo spoons, gua sha, jade stones, derma-massage rollers and microsonic and microcurent devices to promote cellular metabolism while improving cleansing and product absorption for maximum efficacy. Guests will also receive a personalised Skin Assessment at the very beginning using [ comfort zone ]’s Skin Analyser to first determine the areas of concern.
The menu consists of five core lifting treatments each lasting 55 minutes and is designed to treat a range of skin concerns. For guests who require extra attention to delicate areas such as the neck or eyes, there are three 25 minute ‘add-on’ treatments which can be selected.
The use of exclusive [ comfort zone ] technologies, including multipolar radiofrequency, endodermic massage (dynamic vacuum), and diode laser can further enhance the effectiveness of the treatments.
Award-winning Rockliffe Hall Spa in County Durham will be the first UK location to launch [ comfort zone ]’s FACE SPAce, with bookings going live from 4th November. FACE SPAce is soon to be launched in another four UK locations in the coming weeks.
Cosmoss Ritual
Four Seasons has partnered with Cosmoss, inspired and created by Kate Moss, to offer the brand’s first-ever spa treatment: The Cosmoss Ritual. Created by Senior Spa Director Taffryn Ellis and The Spa’s lead therapists, this 60-minute experience includes a deeply restorative facial and body massage, inspired by Kate’s daily rituals to bring harmony and balance to the mind, body and soul.
The treatment offers guests the chance to switch off, relax and immerse themselves in the calming world of Cosmoss – Wellbeing for the Soul and Senses.
The treatment begins with mindful breathing and slow the pace down with Sacred Mist, the aura cleansing signature scent of Cosmoss, blended by noted Homeopath Victoria Young. Guests will then enjoy a warming back massage, where hot stones gently release muscle tension and calm the senses. Once you reach this deeply relaxed stage, the therapist will continue to the exclusive Cosmoss Facial – a newly created signature experience for both The Spa and brand. Starting with the Cosmoss Face Cleanser to soothe even the most sensitive skin, this purifying facial continues with the application of Cosmoss Golden Nectar – a luxurious antioxidant Pro-collagen Oil blended with essential oils including Tears of Chios, Chia Plant and Rosemary Extract. The therapist will combine traditional Jade Gua Sha and Hot Stone techniques to gently sculpt and rejuvenate the face. The treatment finishes with a pampering facial massage using the nourishing Cosmoss Face Cream, to leave the skin glowing, mind and body restored and balanced.
Following the spa treatment guests are invited to their very own relaxation pod and served their choice of a COSMOSS Calming Dusk Tea or uplifting Dawn Tea – inspired by sunset and sunrise, and blended to support your wellbeing journey from within.
The Cosmoss Ritual is available exclusively at Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane.
Environ TCA Cool Peel
What makes Environ’s philosophy to peels so unique and TCA different is it’s specific ‘kind to skin’ and barrier protecting approach– it is also known as ‘the peel that doesn’t peel.’ There is a ‘sweet spot’ where the acid will stress the keratinocytes in the skin just enough without killing them in order to stimulate the cells to release various growth factors, without stripping or irritating the skin, allowing for minimal downtime. These growth factors plump and rejuvenate skin, promoting new collagen and elastin production.
The result? A more youthful, thicker, healthier, tighter and smoother-looking skin.
This unique approach is a non-invasive intelligent skin peeling system developed by Dr Des Fernandes to safely and effectively help refine, revive and brighten skin. Environ’s new TCA cool peel:
Includes a low percentage of acid combined with a low pH
Uses a self-neutralising acid, functioning only on the surface of the skin
Is safe and offers minimal downtime
Uses slow-drying gels and creams
Is a safe and pleasant experience
Accelerates growth factors in the skin to reveal
smoother-looking, brighter, youthful-looking complexion
Environ recommends a course of 6-12 peel treatments for optimal results, however visible results can already be noticed after one treatment.
Available from a selection of premium salon partners and via trained skincare professionals only in the UK and Ireland. Recommended treatment price £120.
