What facial is best for me?
All treatments at The Skin Edit begin with a detailed skin assessment. This allows your facial — whether bespoke, peel‑based, needling, or combined — to be tailored precisely to your skin’s condition on the day. If you’re unsure where to start, the Bespoke Facial is an ideal entry point.
What is the difference between a Bespoke Facial and a Skin Edit Intro?
The Skin Edit Intro is a gentle, introductory treatment focused on cleansing, refinement, and relaxation.
The Bespoke Facial is more advanced and fully customised, with access to modalities such as peels, dermaplaning, needling, steam, and LED.
What is dermaplaning and what does it do?
Dermaplaning is a precise, clinical exfoliation technique that removes dull surface cells and fine vellus hair using a sterile blade. It instantly smooths the skin, enhances product absorption, and leaves the complexion bright and refined.
What is a skin peel?
A skin peel uses professional‑grade acids to dissolve dead skin cells, brighten tone, refine texture, and support long‑term skin health. At The Skin Edit, peels are selected based on your skin’s needs on the day and delivered with a touch of luxury for comfort and calm.
What is BioRePeel?
BioRePeel is a biostimulating peel that works on both the surface and deeper layers of the skin. It improves texture, clarity, and radiance with minimal downtime, making it suitable for a wide range of concerns including congestion, dullness, pigmentation, and early ageing.
What is skin needling?
Skin needling uses fine, medical‑grade needles to create controlled micro‑channels in the skin. This stimulates collagen production, improves firmness, refines texture, and strengthens overall skin function. It is a results‑driven, clinically led treatment with long‑term benefits.
Can skin needling and peels be combined?
Yes — combining needling with a peel can enhance both collagen stimulation and surface refinement. This advanced treatment is tailored to your skin on the day and is ideal for those seeking deeper rejuvenation and more transformative results.
Is there downtime?
Downtime varies depending on the treatment:
• Skin Edit Intro / Bespoke Facial: Minimal to none
• Dermaplaning: None
• Peels: Mild redness or light flaking may occur
• Skin Needling: Redness for 24–48 hours, with possible mild dryness as the skin renews
• Combined Needling + Peel: Expect redness for 24–48 hours and mild peeling as the skin regenerates
Your aftercare will be explained clearly at the end of your treatment.
Are the treatments painful?
Most treatments are comfortable. Skin needling may feel slightly prickly or warm, but it is well‑tolerated and performed with precision to maintain comfort. Peels and dermaplaning are generally gentle, with only mild tingling or warmth.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your goals:
• For general maintenance: Monthly facials
• For targeted concerns (texture, scarring, pigmentation): A course of needling or peels may be recommended
Your treatment plan will always be personalised.
Can I wear makeup after my treatment?
For advanced treatments such as needling or peels, it’s best to avoid makeup for 24 hours. For gentler facials, you can usually apply makeup the same day, though many clients prefer to enjoy their post‑treatment glow.
Who are these treatments suitable for?
Most skin types can benefit from these treatments. During your consultation, your skin will be assessed to ensure the chosen facial is safe, suitable, and effective for you.
How long does a Lash Lift last?
A Lash Lift typically lasts 6–8 weeks, depending on your natural lash cycle. Results gradually soften as new lashes grow through.
Do I need a patch test?
Yes. A patch test is required at least 48 hours before any lash or brow treatment to ensure your safety and comfort.
Can I wear mascara after a Lash Lift?
Yes — after the first 24 hours. Many clients find they no longer need mascara, but if you choose to wear it, avoid waterproof formulas as they can dry out the lashes.
What should I avoid after a Lash Lift?
For the first 24 hours, avoid water, steam, heavy sweating, eye makeup, and sleeping face‑down. This helps the lift set correctly and ensures long‑lasting results.
What is Lash Botox and why is it used?
Lash Botox is a nourishing, peptide‑rich conditioning treatment that strengthens, hydrates, and smooths the lashes. It’s ideal for maintaining lash health — especially between Lash Lifts.
What is a Retint & Lash Botox treatment for?
This treatment is designed specifically for the weeks between Lash Lifts. It refreshes colour, restores shine, and keeps the lashes strong, flexible, and healthy until your next lift.
Will a Lash Lift damage my lashes?
When performed correctly and maintained with gentle aftercare, a Lash Lift is safe and does not damage the lashes. Conditioning treatments like Lash Botox help keep them healthy.
How long do brow tint and brow shaping results last?
Brow tint typically lasts 3–4 weeks, while brow shaping lasts around 4–6 weeks depending on your hair growth cycle.
Can I have a brow tint if I’ve never had one before?
Yes — as long as you’ve had a patch test at least 48 hours beforehand. This ensures the tint is safe and suitable for your skin.
What’s the difference between brow shaping and brow lamination?
• Brow shaping focuses on refining the natural brow through waxing, tweezing, and trimming.
• Brow lamination restructures the brow hairs to create a fuller, smoother, more lifted appearance.
Both can be tailored to your preferred finish — soft and natural or more defined.
Can I combine brow treatments with a Lash Lift?
Absolutely. Many clients choose to pair a Lash Lift with brow shaping or tinting for a polished, balanced look. Treatments can be performed in the same appointment.
Is there any downtime?
No — lash and brow treatments have minimal to no downtime. You may simply need to follow aftercare for the first 24 hours to protect your results.
