Salon facials with a therapist
Two cleanses, an exfoliation, a massage and a mask.
What happens in a salon facial
A salon facial at Leevora Aesthetics is two cleanses, an exfoliation, a massage and a mask, for women and men. A therapist gives it in one of three beauty rooms, and you can book it directly. Medical facials are clinical treatments, so they start with a consultation in the clinic.
Facials take place in three beauty rooms past the salon, each with a treatment bed. The steps stay the same; the products change with your skin. If a product has irritated your skin before, say so at the start.

What happens

A few questions
The therapist asks how your skin feels, what goes on it, and what has irritated it before.
-
Cleanse and exfoliate
Two cleanses, then an exfoliation to lift dry skin from the surface.
-
Massage
A massage of the face, neck and shoulders with a cream or oil chosen for your skin.
-
The mask
A mask goes on, and you rest while it sits. This is the part to close your eyes for.

The finish
Moisturiser, and sunscreen in the daytime, before you sit up.
Who it may suit
- A facial without a consultation first
- Skin that feels tight or shines by afternoon
- Men trying a facial for the first time
- Time lying down before a function
Before you book
Come with a clean face if you can, though the therapist will cleanse it anyway. If you use a cream a doctor has prescribed, tell the therapist before the facial begins.
What is discussed first
- How your skin feels day to day
- What already goes on your skin
- Anything that has irritated your skin before
- Whether the clinic would suit you better
Salon facial or medical facial?
A salon facial is for looking after your skin. For a clinical treatment, start in the clinic: medical facials begin with a consultation and are carried out by a qualified doctor.
Questions and answers
-
What is the difference between a salon facial and a medical facial?
A salon facial is given by a therapist and needs no consultation first. A medical facial is a clinical treatment: it starts with a consultation and is carried out by a qualified doctor. Our guide to salon and clinic facials goes into more detail.
-
Which facial suits my skin type?
Every salon facial follows the same steps, and the therapist chooses the products after a few questions about your skin. To work out your skin type beforehand, try the skin-type guide.
-
Can men have a facial if they shave every day?
Yes, in the same beauty rooms. Mention when you last shaved, and the therapist will choose the products with that in mind. For haircuts and beard laser hair reduction, see the page for men.
-
How long before an event should I have a facial?
We’ll suggest a date when you reserve, once we know the event and the facial. For a wedding, plan it with the rest of your appointments through the pre-bridal programme.
-
Will a salon facial help with pigmentation or acne?
No. For pigmentation or acne, the place to start is a pigmentation consultation or an acne consultation in the clinic.
