About Youth Biome
Youth Biome is our name for GUINOT's personalised youth facial, built on the Hydradermie Youth (Jeunesse) protocol. GUINOT's patented dynamic ionisation and thermal energy are used to boost the skin's cellular energy — the engine behind repair and renewal — while the serums are chosen from GUINOT's eight prescribed variations to suit your skin on the day: anti-ageing, anti-wrinkle, moisturising, purifying, nourishing, brightening, soothing or sun repair.
Where the skin has become unsettled or reactive, Mona pairs the youth protocol with GUINOT's microbiome-friendly purifying and soothing ranges, so the skin's protective flora is respected rather than stripped. The aim is longer-term resilience: skin that's calmer, more energised and more even after each visit, not just on the day.

Is this treatment right for me?
Youth Biome suits skin that looks tired, dull or is showing early signs of ageing, and skin that has become reactive, unsettled or prone to breakouts and irritation — often after over-use of actives, stress or a change in routine. Mona prescribes the variation after assessing your skin.
You may be suitable if…
- Your skin looks tired or is showing early lines and dullness
- Your skin feels reactive, tight or unsettled
- You'd like a youth treatment that's gentle on sensitive skin
- You want to support your skin's long-term health as well as its look
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 GUINOT serums prescribed for your skin and uses the dynamic ionisation rollers and thermal applicator to drive them deep and stimulate cellular energy — a gentle tingling warmth. A calming, flora-friendly mask and massage complete the treatment. 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 more energised, even and comfortable immediately, with GUINOT reporting visible results after a single Hydradermie Youth treatment. Resilience and a lasting improvement in tone and fine lines build over a course of three to four treatments a month 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
Which GUINOT treatment is this?
It's based on GUINOT's Hydradermie Youth (Jeunesse) personalised youth protocol, with the serum variation and mask prescribed by Mona for your skin on the day.
What does 'biome' mean here?
It refers to the skin's natural protective flora. The treatment and products are chosen to respect and rebalance it, which is why it suits sensitive or reactive skin as well as skin showing early ageing.
Is it suitable for acne-prone skin?
Often, yes — the purifying variation calms breakouts without stripping the skin. Mona will assess your skin first.
How quickly will I see a change?
Skin looks brighter and calmer straight away; resilience and fine-line improvement build over a course.
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.
