About GUINOT Doctor
GUINOT Doctor treatments draw on GUINOT's most advanced, clinically focused range, targeting the visible signs of ageing with higher concentrations of active ingredients. Treatments such as Age Summum — with vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and pro-collagen — and Hydra Peeling, a renewal treatment that reduces the appearance of lines and dark spots, sit in this category.
They're the treatments to choose when you want measurable results on lines, firmness and pigmentation rather than a relaxing maintenance facial.

Is this treatment right for me?
GUINOT Doctor treatments suit skin showing visible ageing — lines, loss of firmness, uneven tone or dark spots — and clients who want a results-driven facial. Mona chooses between Age Summum, Hydra Peeling and other options depending on your skin.
You may be suitable if…
- You've noticed lines, sagging or dark spots
- You want a results-focused rather than purely relaxing facial
- You're happy to follow a course for the best result
- Your skin isn't currently sensitised or sunburnt
Your consultation will consider…
- Your skin type, condition and what you'd like to improve
- Sensitivities, allergies, medication and any skin conditions
- Recent treatments, sun exposure or use of active skincare
- 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
After cleansing, Mona applies the chosen GUINOT Doctor protocol — for Age Summum, a vitamin C and hyaluronic acid serum with a firming massage and pro-collagen mask; for Hydra Peeling, a gentle peel followed by a peel-off renewal 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, firmer and more even immediately. Improvements in lines, firmness and pigmentation build over a course of three treatments spaced two to four weeks apart, then maintenance 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
Age Summum or Hydra Peeling?
Age Summum targets lines and firmness with vitamin C and pro-collagen; Hydra Peeling renews texture and reduces dark spots. Mona will recommend based on your skin, and they can alternate over a course.
Is Hydra Peeling like a chemical peel?
It's a gentle renewal treatment — you'll see brighter skin and light flaking is possible for a day or two, but there's no real downtime.
How many treatments do I need?
A course of three, two to four weeks apart, gives the best result, followed by maintenance.
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.
