The latest treatments to keep your morning routine low-maintenance...
In the fast-paced, busy world we live in, beauty maintenance can start to feel like another laborious task to tick off the to do list. Regular upkeep can take up precious hours, and often something we don’t want to make time for.
However, waking up each morning with hydrated, glowing skin, bright and fresh under-eyes, and luscious, hydrated locks can cut getting ready time in the morning exponentially. While these treatments take time and can feel high-maintenance, they keep the mornings low-maintenance, meaning you can head straight out the door and gain some time back.
See below for high-maintenance treatments to stay low-maintenance…
Light Eyes Treatment
“For those who want to start the day looking fresh and revitalised, I recommend the Light Eyes treatment. This is a cutting-edge solution specifically formulated to target common issues in the eye area, such as dark circles. Combining a powerful cocktail of active ingredients, LightEyes works to brighten and rejuvenate the periocular area, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance, and lessening the need for any makeup”, says Dr Nina Bal.
Light Eyes utilises a unique combination of potent ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and vitamin C that work synergistically to target the root causes of under-eye concerns. These ingredients boost microcirculation, enhance skin elasticity, and support drainage in the periocular area, providing visible improvements to the eye area.

Profhilo®
Profhilo® is an injectable skin treatment that harnesses one of nature’s most potent molecules, hyaluronic acid. It is injected beneath the epidermis – the skin’s outer layers – where it enhances the skin’s regenerative and healing properties through a process called bioremodelling.
Profhilo® therapeutically stimulates dermal and adipocyte cell receptors (located deep in the Hypodermis), naturally prompting them to resume the physiological behaviour of youth. By ‘recoding’ them with a completely natural, biocompatible compound, Profhilo dupes ageing cells into producing more collagen, elastin, fibroblasts and keratinocytes. Profhilo® is 100% natural and provokes a completely natural response from the body, offering benefits such as a plump and lifted face, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and a hydrated and luminous complexion.

The Perfect Peel
For those with skin concerns such as hyperpigmentation and acne scars, we recommend The Perfect Peel. This medium-depth chemical peel will deliver younger, healthier and clearer skin in just one week, and can be used on all skin types.
The Perfect Peel chemical peel founds itself on a key anti-aging ingredient never before used in a peel: glutathione. Glutathione is the ultimate antioxidant, penetrating deep into the cellular level of the skin to fight oxidant damage and is the anti-aging answer to premature wrinkling. Our bodies naturally produce glutathione but as we age, our levels deplete due to sun exposure, air pollutants, environmental stress and the aging process itself.

Hair Rehab London
Forget spending hours styling your hair in the morning – adding tape extensions or clip in hair is a simple way to enhance your look.
“Even a partial head of tape extensions is an easy way to add not only length, but volume, shape and bounce to your look without the need to spend hours styling everyday”, comments Lauren Pope, founder of Hair Rehab London. “Alternatively, you can easily add clip in ponytails or extensions you’ve styled the night before and your hair is done in a matter of minutes.”
