When it comes to glowing and beautiful skin, some can call themselves lucky, while others need an…read moreextra effort. I am one of the latter. A week before the Bank Holiday weekend, I have decided to book myself in for a peel in preparation for a short city break with my sister and best friend. I have called up Aesthetics Lab and booked myself in for a consultation, followed by the peel. At arrival I was greeted by a very friendly receptionist who gave me an online questionnaire to fill in. It took me 10 to 12 minutes to finish. I did arrive early for my appointment, so I had plenty of time to kill. Joanna, very lovely and extremely helpful, discussed with me my skin history, problems and needs. Once we agreed on the treatment for my skin (we both agreed that my skin is dull & congested), I have been taken to the treatment room, where I met a very lovely aesthetician. I lied down on the bed, got tucked in & was ready for my peel. First my skin was preped by cleaning my skin & cleansed. A simple procedure, however it feels really nice when done by somebody else. Its time for the peel! A specifically selected (for my skin type) liquid peel was smoothly brushed on my skin. I had to stay with the peel on my skin for couple of minutes. It felt a bit itchy and stingy as it was working its way into my skin. The peel was removed & my skin was prepared for the 2nd part of my treatment: LED lights. This was my favourite part as it felt like you were bathing under the sun. After the treatment my skin felt a bit tight, however this went away after couple of hours. I have to say that that my skin feels like a baby's skin and very happy with the end result. The whole treatment lasted around an hour & even my black heads from my nose were removed. I have not seen my skin so clean & smooth for a long time. Higly recommend Aesthetics Lab.

Medispa has some great innovative treatments which are non-invasive and use the latest technology…read moreon the market, and best of all, they are customised to suit the client. When you first enquire about treatments, you have a one-to-one discussion with a knowledgeable treatment co-ordinator who can make suggestions tailored to your needs. Test patches are offered before you start certain treatments to make sure they are suitable for you. Medispa is where you go if you want to see genuine results- it's not necessarily a place to go to if you're looking for relaxed pampering. Although some people peeping into the sleek, white entrance/reception may get the impression that Medispa is somewhat clinical and intimidating, don't be put off by it- all the receptionists and therapists are very friendly and professional, and make you feel welcome straight away. The therapist I always ask for is Noelia. She has amazing technical and biochemical understanding, as well as considerable clinical experience. She explains clearly how treatments work, she is very honest about which treatments would be suitable for you and which ones wouldn't do anything for you. Even within certain treatments she will personalise them to optimise results without causing side effects i.e. if you bruise easily, she will use a different machine within the same treatment to avoid damaging capillaries. I really appreciate this, as well as her honesty, and because of that trust her implicitly when she is working on my body or face, and makes product recommendations. Oh, and she also has a lovely personality.
