Best for: transformative laser
It’s not commonly known that only around five per cent of any topical formula will be effectively absorbed (and therefore put to good use) by the skin – and that is exactly why laser expert Natasha Clancy’s cult Baby Face treatment is in such high demand.
Clancy was the first to bring the non-ablative, lutronic LaseMD laser to the UK, and has since been in high demand for the intensive, effective resurfacing treatment. Dubbed the Baby Face, this unique laser works like no other, in that it creates micro-channels in the skin to facilitate up to 90 per cent absorption of a custom-blended serum, which will contain either retinol, tranexamic acid, vitamin C or resveratrol, depending on your skin’s needs.
The treatment itself begins with a 20-minute LED session while your numbing cream sets to work – and truthfully, that’s where the relaxation ends (you’re here for results, not a nap). Clancy will tailor the intensity of the laser to your skin’s requirements, before treating your entire face and neck for around three minutes (it’s prickly, but over in a flash).
While there’s no downtime involved, you can expect to be red in the face for around an hour after. In the days that follow, your skin will feel very dry as the resurfacing occurs – make-up is also off the cards. Aftercare is simple: apply your custom serum (store it in the fridge, as it’s preservative-free) and stay away from all other actives. Within seven days, pigmentation, acne scarring and even fine lines fade away – and the glow is incredible.
Kichi Baby Face starts from £350.
