Foundations

A personalised facial built around what your skin needs on the day.

Good care begins with understanding what your skin needs today.

Foundations is a personalised facial shaped around your skin’s condition at the time of your appointment. Following an assessment, I’ll select the products and treatment steps appropriate for concerns such as congestion, dehydration, excess oil or dullness.

Treatment information

Duration: 110 minutes

Downtime

Redness, warmth, tightness or swelling may occur and often settle within 24–72 hours, although recovery varies. Your skin may also feel dry or rough as it recovers.

You’ll receive aftercare instructions specific to your treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Skin Renewal different from Foundations?

Foundations is a tailored facial. Skin Renewal incorporates professional microneedling, with a longer appointment and different recovery requirements.

How is Skin Renewal different from Refinement?

Refinement is a focused microneedling appointment. Skin Renewal allows additional time for selected facial steps alongside microneedling.

How is Skin Renewal different from Structure?

Skin Renewal uses conventional microneedling. Structure uses RF microneedling, which also delivers radiofrequency energy beneath the skin.

Is everyone suitable?

No. Your skin and medical history are assessed before treatment. Some clients may need a different approach or to postpone treatment.

How many appointments will I need?

A course of three to six appointments, around four to six weeks apart, may be recommended. The number and spacing depend on your skin, goals and response, with progress reviewed along the way.

Professional microneedling

Refinement is a focused microneedling treatment for concerns such as uneven texture, fine lines and acne scarring.

Fine needles create controlled, tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating its natural repair response and collagen production.

Treatment is planned around your skin condition, the area being treated and the changes you hope to achieve.

Concerns we can discuss

• Acne scarring
• Uneven texture
• Fine lines
• The appearance of enlarged pores
• Mild uneven pigmentation
• Loss of firmness
• Signs of sun damage
• Stretch marks
• Surgical scars

The type and condition of any scar will influence whether treatment is appropriate. 

Treatment options

Face — 60 minutes
Face & Neck — 75 minutes
Face, Neck & Décolletage — 90 minutes
Body — Treatment time varies depending on the treatment area

Downtime

Redness, warmth, tightness or swelling may occur and often settle within 24–72 hours, although recovery varies. Your skin may feel dry or rough during this time.

I’ll explain what to expect and how to care for the treated area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is microneedling painful?

You may experience discomfort. Sensitivity varies between people and treatment areas, and we’ll discuss comfort before your appointment.

When will I see a difference?

Changes develop gradually over the weeks following treatment. The timing and extent of improvement vary, and a course may be needed.

Can it help with acne scars?

Microneedling may improve the appearance of some types of acne scarring. I’ll assess your scars and discuss what improvement may be realistic.

How many appointments will I need?

A course of three to six treatments, around four to six weeks apart, may be recommended. Your plan will depend on the concern being treated and how your skin responds.

RF Microneedling

Structure combines fine needles with radiofrequency energy using the Lynton Focus Dual.

The needles deliver energy beneath the skin, where controlled heat stimulates a collagen-remodelling response. Treatment depth and settings are selected following an assessment of your skin and the area being treated.

Structure may be considered when concerns include loss of firmness alongside uneven texture or scarring. 

Concerns we can discuss

• Loss of firmness and skin laxity
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scarring
• Uneven texture
• The appearance of enlarged pores
• Stretch marks
• Surgical scars

Treatment options

Face — 60 minutes
Face & Neck — 75 minutes
Face, Neck & Décolletage — 90 minutes
Body — Treatment time varies depending on the treatment area

Downtime

Redness, warmth, tightness or swelling may occur and often settle within 24–72 hours, although recovery varies. Skin can also feel dry or rough while healing.

Your consultation will cover the risks, expected recovery and aftercare for your treatment. 

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Structure different from Refinement?

Both use fine needles to stimulate the skin’s repair response. Structure also delivers radiofrequency energy, adding a heat-based treatment beneath the surface. The appropriate choice depends on your concerns and suitability.

Is Structure painful?

You may feel heat, pressure and discomfort during treatment. Sensitivity varies between clients and treatment areas, and treatment settings are selected individually.

When will I see results?

Changes develop gradually as collagen remodelling takes place over the following weeks and months. The timing and extent of improvement vary between individuals.

Can Structure help with acne scars?

RF microneedling may improve the appearance of some types of acne scarring. Your scars will be assessed to determine whether treatment is appropriate and what improvement may be realistic.

Can Structure be used on the body?

Yes. Selected body areas can be treated for concerns including stretch marks, surgical scars, skin laxity and uneven texture. Body treatments are individually assessed according to the treatment area.

Is Structure suitable for all skin types?

Suitability is assessed individually and depends on your skin type, current skin condition, pigmentation history, medical history and the treatment being considered. These factors are considered together before treatment is recommended.

How many treatments will I need?

A course of three to six treatments, around four to six weeks apart, may be recommended. The number and spacing will depend on your skin, concerns and response to treatment.

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound

Elevation uses High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) with the Lynton Focus Dual.

HIFU delivers precisely focused ultrasound energy beneath the surface of the skin to create controlled thermal stimulation at selected tissue depths.

Unlike treatments that primarily target the surface of the skin, HIFU can target deeper tissue layers without needles or surgery. This stimulates a collagen-remodelling response, with changes in firmness and definition developing gradually following treatment.

Concerns we can discuss

• Skin laxity
• Loss of facial definition
• Jowls
• Jawline definition
• Brow laxity
• Neck laxity
• Loss of firmness
• Mild facial sagging
• Selected areas of body laxity

Treatment options

Brow Lift — 45 minutes
Lower Face — 75 minutes
Lower Face & Neck —  1 hour 45 minutes
Full Face — 1 hour 45 minutes
Full Face & Neck — 2 hours
Body — from 1 hour, depending on the treatment area

Downtime

HIFU requires little to no downtime for most clients. Mild redness, tenderness, tingling or swelling can occur following treatment and usually settles relatively quickly. Some areas may remain tender to touch for several days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Elevation painful?

HIFU can produce brief sensations of heat, tingling or intensity as ultrasound energy is delivered. Sensitivity varies considerably between clients and treatment areas, and treatment settings are selected individually.

When will I see results?

Results develop progressively as collagen remodels over the following weeks and months. Individual response and the extent of improvement vary.

How long do the results last?

Results vary between individuals. Natural ageing continues following treatment, and maintenance treatment may be recommended where appropriate.

How is Elevation different from Structure?

Elevation uses HIFU to target selected deeper tissue layers and is primarily used for concerns involving laxity and definition. Structure uses RF microneedling within the skin and may be considered for concerns including texture, scarring and firmness.

Can HIFU replace a facelift?

No. HIFU is a non-surgical treatment intended to improve suitable concerns involving skin laxity and definition. It cannot reproduce the degree of lifting possible with surgery.

Can Elevation be used on the body?

Yes. HIFU can be used on suitable body areas to address concerns involving skin firmness and laxity. Suitability depends on the area, tissue characteristics and desired outcome and will be assessed before treatment.

Is Elevation suitable for all skin types?

Suitability is assessed individually and depends on your skin type, current skin condition, pigmentation history, medical history and the treatment being considered. These factors are considered together before treatment is recommended.

How many treatments will I need?

Some clients may require only one HIFU treatment, while others may benefit from further treatment depending on the area, degree of laxity and individual response. Sufficient time is allowed for collagen remodelling before reassessment.

A combined HIFU and RF microneedling treatment.

Framework combines HIFU and RF microneedling using the Lynton Focus Dual.

The two treatments have different roles. HIFU targets selected deeper tissue layers for concerns involving laxity and definition. RF microneedling addresses concerns such as texture, scarring and firmness within the skin.

Framework may be considered when your concerns would benefit from both approaches. Your consultation establishes whether the combination is appropriate. 

Concerns we can discuss

• Loss of firmness
• Skin laxity
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduced jawline definition
• Jowls
• Uneven texture
• The appearance of enlarged pores
• Mild acne scarring

Treatment options

Lower Face — Lower-face HIFU with full-face RF microneedling — 1 hour 45 minutes

Full Face & Neck — Full-face and neck HIFU with RF microneedling — 2 hours

Why combine the treatments?

Some clients want to address texture as well as changes in firmness and definition. Using both technologies allows those different concerns to be considered within one coordinated plan.

I’ll explain the role of each treatment and why the combination may be appropriate for you. 

Downtime

Redness, warmth, tightness or swelling may occur and often settle within 24–72 hours, although recovery varies. Skin may also feel dry or rough, and tenderness associated with HIFU may persist for several days.

You’ll receive specific aftercare guidance for the combined treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Framework different from Structure or Elevation alone?

Framework incorporates both technologies: the HIFU used in Elevation and the RF microneedling used in Structure. It may be appropriate when there is a reason to address your concerns using both treatments.

Is Framework painful?

You may feel heat, tingling, pressure or discomfort at different stages. Sensitivity varies, and we’ll discuss what to expect before treatment.

When will I see results?

Changes develop over weeks and months as the skin responds. Results may become more apparent around two to three months after treatment, although individual responses vary.

Is everyone suitable?

No. Your skin, medical history, previous aesthetic treatments and goals are assessed before recommending a combined approach.

Why choose Framework instead of separate treatments?

For suitable clients, Framework brings both technologies into one planned appointment. We’ll discuss whether a combined session or separate appointments would be appropriate for you.

Is Framework suitable for all skin types?

Skin type is one part of the assessment. Your current skin condition, pigmentation history, medical history and suitability for both technologies also matter.

How many appointments will I need?

Framework may be offered as a single treatment or a course of one to three appointments. Where further treatment is appropriate, appointments may be spaced around twelve weeks apart to allow recovery and reassessment.
