🚨 STOP. Before you spend another £100 on skincare you saw on TikTok… 👀

Have you considered that your skin might just need a facial? ✨

Our luxurious Sothys facials are customised to your skin, whether you’re battling dryness, dullness, breakouts, sensitivity or simply want that healthy glow everyone asks about.

The best part? We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all skincare. After your facial, we’ll recommend the products your skin actually needs, rather than you buying the latest trend or viral product that may not be right for you.

Think of it as hitting the reset button for your skin… with a side of relaxation. 💆‍♀️

✨ Deep cleansing
💧 Intense hydration
🌸 Expert skin analysis
🧴 Personalised skincare recommendations
😌 One hour of pure relaxation

Your skin works hard every day—it’s time to return the favour.

✨ What happens during your IPL consultation? ✨

Whether you’re interested in IPL hair removal or IPL skin therapies, your consultation is the first step to achieving safe and effective results.

Here’s what you can expect:

🤍 We’ll ask about any previous treatments you’ve had.
🤍 We’ll go through your medical history.
🤍 We’ll discuss the area(s) you’d like to treat.
🤍 We’ll assess your skin using the Fitzpatrick Scale to determine if IPL is suitable for you.
🤍 We’ll check for any contraindications to ensure treatment will be safe for you.

Once we’ve gathered all the information, we’ll explain how the treatment works, what you can expect, and answer any questions you may have.

We’ll then give you time to read through and sign your consent and aftercare forms, so you feel fully informed before treatment begins.

Finally, before carrying out your test patch, we’ll take a photo of the treatment area. This allows us to monitor your progress throughout your treatment course and keep an eye on your results and any skin reactions.

✨ Your safety, comfort, and results are always our priority.

🚫 Think twice before reaching for the tweezers…

Many people automatically pluck unwanted facial hairs, but did you know this could actually make the problem worse?

Repeatedly plucking fine/thicker/darker facial hairs—especially in hormonally sensitive areas like the chin, jawline, upper lip and neck—can sometimes stimulate dormant hair follicles. Over time, those soft/thick/dark/fine hairs may become thicker, darker and more noticeable, meaning you end up with more hair to manage than when you first started.

So, what’s the better option?

✨ Electrolysis is the only permanent method of hair removal. Instead of repeatedly pulling hairs out and encouraging an ongoing cycle of regrowth, electrolysis treats each hair follicle individually to permanently stop future hair growth.

If you’re not ready for electrolysis just yet, shaving is actually a better temporary option than plucking. Shaving doesn’t stimulate or damage the follicle in the same way repeated plucking can, and despite the myth, it does not make hair grow back thicker.

If facial hair is affecting your confidence, we’re here to help. Book a consultation and let us create a treatment plan that’s right for you. 💙

🚫 Step away from the tweezers! 🚫

Tweezing between your electrolysis appointments can slow your progress by removing the hair we need to treat. Instead, shave or trim if needed, and let electrolysis do the hard work. 💛

Trust the process—permanent results are worth it! ✨
