Sunderland’s Award-Winning Skin Clinic: 5-Star Facials at Cellular Skin
Why do I need monthly facials?
Consistency is the secret ingredient to great skin. Here is a little "science of skincare" refresher on why that monthly appointment matters:
The 28-Day Cycle
Our skin naturally regenerates, but the process changes over time:
-
The Pace: In our youth, skin cells typically renew every 28 days.
-
The Shift: As we age, this "turnover" process slows down significantly. For example if you are over 40 this process can take anywhere from 45-60 days. When old cells linger on the surface longer, it can lead to a dull complexion, fine lines, and clogged pores.
-
The Solution: Regular monthly facials act as a "reset button," manually stimulating that 28-day cycle to ensure fresh, healthy cells are always at the surface.
Skin Maintenance
By staying on top of your professional treatments, you aren't just pampering yourself—you're investing in long-term skin health. Regular sessions help: Boost Collagen: Keep skin firm and resilient. Deep Cleanse: Clear out impurities that daily washing can't reach. Maximise Absorption: Ensure your expensive serums at home actually penetrate the skin.

That’s where we start. During your initial consultation, we’ll deep-dive into your skin goals to create a bespoke plan designed for optimal results. But remember: great skin isn't a one-time event. Skin is a living organ. Just like building muscle requires regular attendance at the gym, your skin requires the same dedication. To see a real transformation, it needs regular TLC on a month-to-month basis. Once you’ve finished your initial treatment course, maintenance facials are key. All of our professional facials are designed to stimulate skin cell renewal, keeping your glow fresh and your cells regenerating month after month.
Cellular Collagen Boosting Facials
THE SMOOTH OPERATOR
1. Deep Steam Cleanse
Deep cleanse under a gentle veil of warm steam. This softens the dead skin cells and opens the pores, ensuring the skin is perfectly prepped and supple for the exfoliation to follow.
2. Precision Dermaplaning
Using a sterile, medical-grade surgical blade, we remove the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). This instantly smooths the skin’s texture, allowing for deeper product penetration and a flawless makeup application.
3. Dermalux® LED Phototherapy
A clinically proven treatment that uses therapeutic light energy to trigger the skin's natural rejuvenation and repair processes. This step reduces redness, boosts collagen production, and destroys acne-causing bacteria, ensuring your skin is calm and glowing post-exfoliation.
4. Targeted Brightening Treatment & Custom Booster
We apply a brightening treatment to nourish and instantly brighten skin.
5. Lip Booster
The finishing touch for a perfect pout. We apply a topical, medical-grade Hyaluronic Acid treatment to the lips to deeply hydrate, smooth fine lines.
