About Anti-Ageing
This facial combines targeted techniques and products to address fine lines, loss of firmness and the other visible signs of ageing. Mona draws on GUINOT's anti-ageing protocols — Hydradermie Jeunesse, Age Summum and the Doctor range — matching the actives to your skin: hyaluronic acid to plump, vitamin C to brighten, pro-collagen to firm.
It's a results-focused treatment that still feels indulgent, and one that rewards regular visits.

Your consultation will consider…

- Whether a single treatment or a course will give the result you want
What to expect
Before treatment
Mona begins every facial with a skin assessment and a chat about your concerns, routine and any sensitivities or conditions, so the treatment and products are matched to your skin on the day. Arrive with a clean face if you can; there's nothing else to prepare.
During treatment
Cleansing and exfoliation are followed by the GUINOT anti-ageing protocol chosen for you, with serums driven in by massage or ionisation, a lifting massage and a targeted mask. Around fifty minutes.
After treatment
Skin looks calm, hydrated and glowing. Mona finishes with serum, moisturiser and SPF, and talks through home care to keep the results going.
Results & longevity
Skin looks brighter, smoother and firmer immediately, with the glow lasting a couple of weeks. Improvements in lines and firmness build over a course of four to six treatments, maintained every four to six weeks.
Recovery, side effects & aftercare
Facials have no downtime — skin looks fresh, hydrated and calm as you leave, and make-up can go straight back on if you'd like it to (though most people prefer to let the skin breathe for the evening).
Side effects
A mild, temporary flush is the usual extent of it. Skin that's had extractions can show small pink marks for a day. Very occasionally a product causes a mild reaction in sensitive skin, which is why Mona assesses your skin and history first and can patch-test where needed.
Aftercare
Let the products work — avoid heavy make-up, exfoliants, retinol and strong actives for 24 hours, and stay out of strong sun, saunas and heat for the rest of the day. Drink water, and use SPF daily. Mona will recommend home care to extend the results.
Please contact us if you notice persistent redness, itching or a rash after your facial.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which anti-ageing protocol will I have?
Mona chooses between Hydradermie Jeunesse, Age Summum and other GUINOT options based on your skin — hydration, brightening or firming may take priority.
When should I start anti-ageing facials?
Whenever you like — many people start in their thirties for prevention. The treatment adapts to your skin at any age.
Will it replace injectables?
Facials improve skin quality; injectables address muscle movement and volume. Many clients combine both for the best result.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Mona assesses your skin first and adapts products and techniques; many treatments have gentle options, and the bespoke facial is designed around sensitive conditions such as rosacea and eczema.
How often should I have a facial?
For visible, lasting change, every four to six weeks matches the skin's renewal cycle. For maintenance or a treat, whenever you like — Mona will suggest a rhythm that suits your skin and budget.
Will I be sold products?
Mona will recommend home care if it will help your result, but there's never any pressure to buy.
What happens at the start?
A short skin assessment and conversation about your concerns, routine and any sensitivities, so the facial is tailored to you on the day.
