Signature Facials

Advanced microbiome therapy for hormonal, sensitive and ageing skin.

This is the most advanced probiotic facial I offer, designed to reset your skin at a cellular level using live beneficial bacteria.

Unlike traditional facials that treat symptoms, this treatment works with your skin’s natural ecosystem to restore balance, calm inflammation and slow visible ageing.

This is why it is trusted by luxury spas worldwide.

Why your skin needs this
Many modern skin concerns — from sensitivity and rosacea to breakouts and premature ageing — are driven by hidden inflammation and an imbalanced skin microbiome.

When this delicate ecosystem becomes disrupted by stress, hormones, over-exfoliation or harsh products, the skin becomes reactive, dull and prematurely aged.

This facial helps restore your skin to its healthiest, most resilient state.

What makes this treatment unique
This facial includes the application of a professional live probiotic ampoule containing billions of active Lactobacillus cultures.

These beneficial bacteria:

• Reduce subclinical inflammation

• Strengthen your skin barrier

• Improve hydration and resilience

• Protect against environmental stressors

• Support collagen and elastin

• Calm sensitivity and redness

• Help rebalance acne-prone skin

This level of microbiome intervention is not suitable for daily skincare and can only be delivered professionally in clinic.

Ideal for:

• Hormonal or menopausal skin

• Rosacea, redness and sensitivity

• Acne and congestion

• Barrier-damaged or reactive skin

• Premature ageing

• Dry, dehydrated or stressed skin

• Clients who feel their skin has “stopped responding” to products

The experience
Your treatment is fully personalised and designed to calm both the skin and nervous system.

This includes:

• Deep but gentle cleansing and exfoliation

• Advanced organic prebiotic and probiotic therapy

• Application of a live probiotic ampoule

• Sculpting and lifting massage

• Lymphatic drainage to reduce puffiness

• Nervous system calming techniques

• Personalised skin, lifestyle and hormonal support

Many clients notice an immediate improvement in hydration, glow and calmness — with deeper transformation over time.

💎 Why this is powerful for ageing
Inflammation accelerates the breakdown of collagen and elastin.

By calming hidden inflammation and supporting immune balance in the skin, this treatment helps slow visible ageing and restore skin vitality.

This makes it especially beneficial during perimenopause and menopause, when the skin becomes more sensitive and reactive.

Single Treatment: £125
Course of 6: £660 (£110 per treatment)

🌿 Course of 6 includes:

✔ Personalised skin plan

✔ Lifestyle and hormonal guidance

✔ WhatsApp support

✔ Free LED in every treatment

Because this treatment works to rebuild your skin barrier and restore your microbiome, the best results come from consistency. I recommend starting with treatment every 2–3 weeks to truly reset your skin, followed by monthly maintenance to keep your results long term.

FAQ

How often should I have a dermaplane facial?
For most clients, every 4–6 weeks works beautifully to maintain smooth, glowing skin and support healthy skin renewal. Many women book this as part of their monthly skin maintenance routine to keep their skin clear, bright and fresh.

Is dermaplaning safe for sensitive or hormonal skin?
Yes. This treatment is gentle and suitable for most skin types, including sensitive or hormonal skin. I always tailor the products and techniques to support your skin barrier and reduce inflammation, so your skin feels calm, balanced and hydrated.

Will my hair grow back thicker after dermaplaning?
No, this is a common myth. Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair (peach fuzz), which grows back exactly the same as before. It does not affect the hair follicle or cause thicker or darker regrowth.

Is this a good treatment before an event?
Absolutely. The Skin Reset Dermaplane Facial is one of my most popular treatments before weddings, holidays, photoshoots or special occasions because it instantly smooths and brightens the skin, helping makeup sit beautifully and creating a radiant glow.

Can I have this as a one-off treatment?
Yes. Many clients book this facial as a one-off glow boost. However, regular treatments help maintain long-term skin health, improve product absorption and keep your skin looking consistently fresh and radiant.

‍ SkinPen Microneedling – Collagen Renewal & Skin Boosting

This advanced SkinPen microneedling treatment is designed to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen and elastin, improving firmness, texture and overall skin health. It is one of the most powerful skin boosting treatments for softening fine lines, improving acne scarring, refining pores and restoring a fresh, radiant glow.

At Catherine Costas Beauty, I take a gentle, holistic and skin barrier-focused approach to microneedling. Your skin is carefully prepared before treatment and supported afterwards to ensure optimal healing and long-term results. This is especially important for sensitive, hormonal and menopausal skin.

Each session is fully tailored to your skin, lifestyle and goals, and may include calming, hydrating and lymphatic techniques to reduce inflammation and support regeneration.

SkinPen microneedling can be booked as a single treatment for a boost or as part of a personalised skin programme to create deeper, longer-lasting transformation.

FAQ

How many SkinPen microneedling sessions will I need?
Most clients benefit from a course of 3–6 treatments depending on their skin goals. I will guide you based on your skin, lifestyle and desired results to create a plan that feels realistic and supportive.

Is SkinPen suitable for sensitive or menopausal skin?
Yes, when properly tailored. I take a skin barrier-first approach, which makes this treatment safe and effective for sensitive, hormonal and menopausal skin.

Is there downtime after microneedling?
You may experience redness for 24 hours, similar to mild sunburn. Over the following days your skin will look brighter, smoother and more refreshed.

Does microneedling hurt?
A topical numbing cream is used to keep you comfortable. Most clients describe the treatment as very manageable.

How should I prepare my skin before microneedling?
To protect your skin barrier and ensure the best results, I recommend stopping retinol, exfoliating acids and active skincare 3–5 days before your treatment. If you are using prescription or stronger products, this may need to be slightly longer.

When can I restart retinol or acids after SkinPen?
It’s important to allow your skin to fully heal after microneedling. I usually recommend avoiding retinol, acids and active ingredients for around 5–7 days, or until your skin feels calm, hydrated and back to normal. This supports healing, reduces irritation and helps your collagen-stimulating results.

Downtime: 24 hours no make up. Use only creams provided.

FAQ

How many skin peels will I need?Some clients notice improvement after one treatment, particularly in glow and clarity. However, a course of 3–6 treatments is usually recommended for concerns such as acne, pigmentation or long-term skin transformation.

Will my skin visibly peel after treatment?
This depends on your skin and the strength of your treatment. Most clients experience light to zero flaking, while others may have minimal visible peeling. My approach focuses on controlled renewal and skin health rather than aggressive downtime.

How should I prepare my skin before a peel?
To protect your skin barrier and reduce sensitivity, I usually recommend stopping retinol, exfoliating acids and active skincare 3–5 days before treatment. You will receive personalised guidance during your consultation.

Are skin peels safe?
Skin peels are safe and effective when carried out by a trained professional. A full consultation ensures your treatment is appropriate and tailored to your skin, helping you achieve the best results while protecting your skin barrier.

Are there any contraindications for skin peels?
Skin peels may not be suitable if you are pregnant, have active infections, certain medical conditions or are using some prescription medications. This is why a thorough consultation is always carried out before treatment.
