As the indulgent festive season passes (one too many Champagne breakfasts and chocolates can wreak havoc on the skin), January is the perfect time to book a rejuvenating treatment. Whilst a classic facial or tweakment is certainly refreshing, the latest facial treatments go beyond the ordinary. From a sculpting facial massage that releases emotional trauma to ‘designing’ your face with micro-injections of dermal filler, here are five transformative treatments to help you feel like you – but better.
Sculptural Face Lifting with Yakov Gershkovich at Libi & Daughters
This is no ordinary facial or face massage. It’s a holistic facial rejuvenation that’s led creator Yakov Gershkovich to train over 10,000 aestheticians around the world. Combining his background of physiotherapy, reflexology, massage, and a deep understanding of facial anatomy, Gershkovich works on the surface, deeper muscles, and fascia of the face.

Beyond the physical transformation (skin is noticeably lifted and sculpted immediately after), his method is guided by his intuition and energy flow, proven to release negative emotional blocks that manifest as tension in the face and neck. It’s therapy for your face and soul with visibly firmer, lifted, and sculpted results straight after you’ve been massaged, kneaded, stroked, and soothed.
Face Design with Dr Ivy at The Hale Clinic
Sure, getting dermal fillers and Botox isn't new, but booking a Face Design treatment with Dr Ivy is a whole different league. Rather than isolated treatments like a lip flip or non-surgical rhinoplasty, Dr Ivy takes a holistic approach, analysing your entire face from your front and side profile. Through precise micro-injections, she subtly refines, rejuvenates, and balances your features, resulting in a naturally enhanced appearance that will leave your friends thinking you look great, but guessing what exactly it is you’ve had done.

Baby Face at KICHI
You might have heard of the powerful Baby Face laser – it’s become somewhat of a cult facial thanks to its ability to restore your skin’s texture and luminosity by stimulating collagen production. Its many benefits include targeting sun damage and pigmentation, helping with acne scarring, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and evening out skin texture; plus, it creates dermis-level induction for 90% absorbency of its targeted serums. It’s the perfect pick-me-up after an indulgent holiday season to refresh your complexion, so take note and book in for immediately brighter, smoother skin.

Glow Boost with Dr Maryam Zamani
If there’s anyone who can create a powerhouse tweakment for your glowiest skin ever, it’s Dr Maryam Zamani. Combining three of aesthetics’ best (PRP with Aquagold® Microneedling, Laser Genesis, and Profhilo® Skin Booster), your skin is left looking plumper, healthier, brighter, and more radiant. The three-in-one treatment works with the skin’s own ability to increase collagen and can be performed on the face, neck, décollétage, hands, and eyes.
110–112 King's Rd, SW3 4TX
PRP with Aquagold® uses 24k carat gold microneedles to plump up skin with a cocktail of vitamins, peptides, and amino acids for bouncy, smooth skin; Laser Genesis is a non-invasive 1065 Nd:YAG laser that targets fine lines, acne scars, and large pores, stimulating elastin and collagen production; and Profhilo® is an injectable skin bio-remodelling treatment that gives a superboost of hydration whilst restoring firmness for a lifting effect.
HydroStructure at Eudelo
As we age, an interplay of changes happen across the face from the dermis to the deeper adipose tissue below. One of the biggest shifts happens in the facial fat layer, with fat pads deflating and moving downwards, leading to flat cheeks, sagging skin, and unrefined facial contours. But this new-age treatment from Dr. Stefanie Williams at Eudelo addresses both the dermis and subdermis by layering the new Profhilo® Structure with the original Profhilo® complex for skin rejuvenation and deeper structural support.

The difference between the two? Whilst the OG Profhilo® delivers a high concentration of hyaluronic acid to the skin to hydrate and smooth your complexion, Profhilo® Structura focuses on the deeper layers to activate fat cell receptors, encourage them to behave like younger fat cells for a natural lifting effect. You can expect younger-looking, firmer, and smoother skin for up to six months after one treatment.
