About Lifting & Firming
This facial combines techniques and products aimed at firming the skin and supporting a more lifted-looking contour. Depending on your skin, Mona draws on GUINOT's Lift Summum and Hydradermie Lift protocols or CACI microcurrent, using firming serums, muscle-stimulating currents or lifting massage to tone the face, neck and décolleté.
It's the choice when loss of firmness — a softer jaw, heavier cheeks, a less defined neck — is your main concern.

Is this treatment right for me?
Lifting and firming facials suit skin that has begun to lose elasticity and definition, and anyone who'd like to maintain firmness. Where microcurrent is used, a pacemaker, epilepsy or pregnancy rule it out.
You may be suitable if…
- Your jawline, cheeks or neck have lost definition
- You'd like a firmer, lifted look without surgery
- You want to maintain firmness proactively
- You have no contraindication to microcurrent, if used
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 GUINOT firming serums and uses lifting massage, muscle-stimulating currents or a combination to tone the face and neck, finishing with a firming 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 firmer and more lifted straight away, with the effect lasting several days to a week. A course of four to six treatments a fortnight apart builds a more lasting improvement, maintained monthly.
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 technology will Mona use?
It depends on your skin — GUINOT's firming protocols, CACI microcurrent, or both. The assessment at the start decides.
How long does the lift last?
Several days from one treatment; lasting firmness comes with a course and maintenance.
Can I combine it with injectables?
Yes — firming facials complement anti-wrinkle and filler treatment well, and timing can be coordinated with John.
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.
Can I wear make-up afterwards?
You can, but the skin looks its best bare after a facial, and letting the products settle for a few hours makes the most of the treatment.
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.
