REFRESH FACIAL
in York

Refresh is a results-led facial created by Dr Amy Watson, blending gentle exfoliation with skin regeneration. At the heart of the treatment is a professionally formulated peel containing glycolic acid and kojic acid -chosen for their resurfacing, brightening and collagen-stimulating effects.

These ingredients help to remove dull, dead skin cells while encouraging new cell turnover and improving pigmentation. Finished with a calming mask, cooling therapy and Dermalux LED, this treatment brings together performance and relaxation in equal measure.

It’s particularly well-suited to clients seeking an anti-ageing glow without the downtime of stronger peels or more intensive treatments.

The treatment begins with a deep cleanse and gentle exfoliation to prepare the skin. A lymphatic drainage massage stimulates circulation and detoxification, followed by the application of the Refresh peel, which resurfaces and revitalises. A replenishing mask and cooling step calm the skin, before Dermalux LED light therapy boosts radiance and accelerates skin healing.

Each step is designed to refresh the skin’s surface, stimulate collagen production and restore healthy function.

REFRESH is an ideal facial for addressing early signs of skin ageing and general skin fatigue. Its clinical-grade ingredients and layered techniques help:

• Smooth fine lines and wrinkles

• Improve skin texture and clarity

• Minimise enlarged pores and uneven tone

• Brighten dull or lacklustre skin

• Support collagen regeneration for firmer, fresher skin

Most patients notice a visible glow immediately after treatment, with ongoing benefits as cell turnover continues.

This facial is ideal for anyone experiencing changes in skin tone, texture, or firmness due to age, stress, or lifestyle. If you’re noticing fine lines, dryness or an overall lack of radiance, REFRESH is a gentle yet effective way to renew your skin.

It’s also popular as a pre-event treatment, delivering a rested, revitalised complexion that looks great under makeup. Safe for most skin types -including sensitive or reactive skin -with minimal risk of irritation.

Please note this facial is not suitable for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, allergic to peel ingredients, or have active eczema or psoriasis on the face. A patch test is required for Fitzpatrick skin type V.

For most patients, there is no visible peeling or downtime. Mild redness, tingling, or dryness can occasionally occur, especially in sensitive skin types, but this settles within 24–48 hours.

Your skin will feel instantly smoother and more hydrated, with an enhanced glow that continues to develop over the following days. Best results are seen with a course of 3 treatments, spaced 2 weeks apart.

The cost of a Refresh facial depends on the package you would like. One facial is £125, a course of 3 is £325. There is also an express option, which is £89.
