Zest Skin Spa

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month🧡

Now is the time to get your skin checked by a professional and be proactive about your future skin health✨

Our Mole Mapping service is designed to professionally assess and document your moles or skin lesions.

Using high-resolution dermatoscopic imaging, we create a baseline record to monitor any changes over time. This consultation helps you take a proactive approach to your skin health, provides reassurance and ensures that any developments are tracked safely, with the option for dermatology review if needed.

In partnership with SpotCheck.uk

IPL Skin Rejuvenation is a fantastic treatment for improving the appearance of the skin.

Targeting pigmentation, fine lines, redness and laxity; each session provides both instant and progressive results.

After the first session pigmentation appears darker as the melanin absorbs the light, in turn pigmentation is broken down and ‘disposed’ of by the skins very clever waste system🗑️

Once the skin has fully healed after 21-28 days, both the texture and appearance are improved leaving the skin looking brighter, tighter and more youthful.

Check out the before and immediately after photos, you can clearly see the areas of pigmentation that have been successfully treated.

We can’t wait to see the fully healed results, watch this space👀🧡

Thanks to Lisa for demonstrating this treatment for Sarah and Eva, both looking fabulous in their safety specs🕶️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Not all acne is just “surface level”

➡️ Swipe to see the orange dots🟠

This is Propionibacterium acne (also now known as Cutibacterium acnes) seen under a dermatoscope 🔬

This bacteria naturally lives on the skin, but when it becomes overactive - combined with excess oil, dead skin build-up or congestion - it can trigger inflammation, breakouts and persistent uncomfortable acne.

This is exactly why a targeted, professional approach matters.

At Zest Skin Spa, we don’t just treat what’s visible - we work on what’s happening within the skin:

✨ Reducing congestion
✨ Supporting a healthy skin barrier
✨ Balancing oil production
✨ Calming inflammation
✨ Creating an environment where acne-causing bacteria can’t thrive👊🏻

Seeking professional advice is key - especially with new or persistent skin concerns.

Using the wrong skincare, or following advice that isn’t tailored to your skin, can often make things worse rather than better.

Because real skin results come from understanding the cause not just the symptoms.

If you’re struggling with breakouts, we’re here to guide you 🧡

At Zest Skin Spa, what we do is simple - but considered.

We focus on skin health first, combining advanced treatments with experience, care and professional judgement.

to skin needling for collagen boosting.

🧡From IPL treatments for both hair removal and skin rejuvenation, to LED light therapy to support and restore the skin.

🧡We also offer radio frequency and microcurrent treatments to lift and tone, alongside professional skin peels to smooth, brighten and rebalance.

🧡And importantly, we provide dermatoscopic skin assessments, lesion removal and mole mapping - ensuring every treatment is carried out safely, responsibly and with the right level of clinical oversight.

Every treatment we offer is carefully chosen and every plan is tailored to you.

The Zest Skin Spa Client isn’t looking for quick fixes or the latest trend.

They value quality, experience and honesty.

They understand that great skin takes time, consistency and the right approach - not pressure or promises that feel too good to be true.

They want to feel comfortable when they walk into a space.
Not intimidated. Not judged. Not overwhelmed.

They’re not chasing perfection…
They simply want to feel more confident in their own skin.

They appreciate being listened to.
They value expertise.
And they trust a considered, professional approach.

Most of all, they value having a place where they can relax, feel at ease and know they’re in safe hands.

🧡If this sounds like you…
you’ll feel right at home at Zest Skin Spa.

When I think about what makes Zest Skin Spa truly special, it’s not just the treatments we offer or the results we achieve - although those are incredibly important.

It’s our people.

Over the years, I’ve been very intentional about building a team who are not only highly trained, experienced professionals, but also genuinely kind, grounded and real individuals.

Every therapist at Zest is passionate about skin and committed to delivering the highest standards of care; but they’re also people you can relate to.

And I think that matters more than ever.

🧡Experts… Who Are Also Human.

Of course, when you visit us, you’re in safe hands.

Our team are skilled in advanced electrolysis, skin, beauty and massage treatments. We take our work seriously, we continually invest in education and we hold ourselves to high professional standards.

But alongside that expertise, there’s something else we value just as much - being human.

We understand that life isn’t perfect.
Skin isn’t perfect.
And most people walk through our door carrying more than just a skin concern.

They’re juggling work, family, hormones, stress, lack of sleep; all the things that affect how we look and how we feel.

We get that, because we live it too.

🧡A Safe, Welcoming Space.

One of the things I’m most proud of is the environment we’ve created at Zest.

It’s not clinical in a cold, intimidating way.
It’s not about trends, pressure, or perfection.

It’s a space where you can simply be yourself.

You don’t need to know the “right” treatment.
You don’t need to feel embarrassed about your skin.
You don’t need to explain yourself perfectly.

You can come in, sit down and talk - or not talk at all if that’s what you need that day.

There is no judgement here.

🧡More Than Just a Treatment.

For many of our clients, a visit to Zest becomes more than just an appointment.

It’s a moment to pause.
To breathe.
To feel looked after.
Sometimes it’s a chat.
Sometimes it’s quiet time.

Sometimes it’s reassurance that what you’re experiencing is completely normal.

And of course, it’s also about achieving real, visible results for your skin; but never at the expense of how you feel during the process.

🧡Why This Matters.

In an industry that can sometimes feel overwhelming or intimidating, I believe it’s important to offer something different.

Yes, we are professional.
Yes, we are experienced.
Yes, we deliver results.

But we also want you to feel comfortable, understood and at ease from the moment you walk through the door.

Because when you feel relaxed and supported, that’s when real progress happens - not just for your skin, but for your overall wellbeing.

🧡A Final Thought.

Zest Skin Spa has evolved a lot over the years, but one thing has always stayed the same — our focus on people.

Not perfect people.
Not filtered or idealised versions of people.
Just real people, with real lives, real skin and real stories.

And it’s a privilege to be part of that.

We are Edinburghs’ leading choice for since 2005.

As the leading choice for permanent hair removal, we pride ourselves on being fully inclusive, experienced and trusted by our clients. Say goodbye to unwanted hair and hello to confidence!

Electrolysis (electrical epilation) involves the insertion of a very fine, disposable, sterile probe into the hair follicle, which is a natural opening in the skin. A tiny amount of energy is then skilfully discharged into the hair follicle. This produces heat which destroys the cells that produce the hair at the base of the follicle. The only sensation felt by the client is heat passing down the probe to the base of the follicle.
