Yon-Ka Facials

The phyto-aromatic alternative to invasive aesthetic procedures

I have been having Yon-Ka facials and using their incredible products for over 16 years now and can say hand on heart I wouldn’t use anything else.

A family created and owned business in France dating back to 1954. The family were pioneers in aromatherapy and phytotherapy which led them to establishing the Mutaler laboratories. Through much research came a major breakthrough into the ‘Quintessance’ which is a unique blend of 5 essential oils, all issued from the Mediterranean, then becoming the cornerstone of their future skin care range.

At Yon-Ka, our priority is to provide visible and lasting results, by giving back the skin its natural ability to regain and maintain its balance, its quality and its beauty, whilst acting in an effective manner on its dermatological issues and ageing processes.

YON, a purifying white water river, refers to energy and motion. KA, in the Ancient Egypt of the Pharaohs, appeals to the part of eternity that dwells in every being.

Rejuvology 

Unlock the secrets of timeless natural beauty with Rejuvology…

A cutting-edge physical method of facial rejuvenation massage. Rejuvology goes beyond traditional facials, offering a comprehensive approach that revitalizes not only your face but also your emotional well-being. This unique therapy combines ancient and modern techniques, resulting in a remarkable experience. Developed by Abigail James, who has meticulously crafted & evolved this method over 20 years of clinical practice and advanced studies, has shaped Rejuvology into an unparalleled experience for achieving youthful radiance and emotional harmony.

Rejuvology Facial rejuvenation massage taps into several systems of the body to create a positive impact on the skin, fascia, nervous, muscular, circulatory and lymphatic systems as well creating balance and flow to the body’s energy. The massage methods help restore skin suppleness by effectively allowing the connective tissue to regain freedom and elasticity through the specialised movements and techniques performed.

During a treatment, the upper body, head, neck and facial muscles are engaged. When our muscles remain tense over a period of time, our skin is affected by two angles. Firstly, the vital supply of oxygen and nutrients is reduced. Secondly, the removal of waste products from our cells is compromised. This is down to the fact that muscular tension can restrict the vessels which carry blood and lymph to and from the tissues. When you purposely work the facial tissues through the art of Rejuvology these aspects are improved. This results in improvement of the flow of blood and lymph, increasing fresh nutrient delivery to the cells.

Gua Sha | Intra-Oral Massage (Buccal) | Facial Cupping

From £50

Guasha or 'Gua Sha' is a traditional Chinese therapeutic technique that involves scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool, often made of materials like jade, rose quartz, or stainless steel. The term "Gua Sha" itself comes from two Chinese words: "Gua," meaning to scrape or rub, and "Sha," referring to a type of stagnant energy or blood. The practice aims to stimulate blood circulation, promote healing, relieve tension, and improve overall well-being.

Intra-oral Massage also referred to as Buccal is a specialised face massage method that uniquely targets both the exterior and interior of the oral cavity to provide a comprehensive treatment for facial tension and muscle release. This technique focuses on the deep tissues within the cheeks, jaw, and around the lips by manually manipulating the muscles and tissue from both sides.

Facial cupping represents a time-honoured tradition with roots that extend deep into history. The practice entails the strategic deployment of suction cups across various facial regions, skillfully elevating and elongating the subcutaneous fabric with a deliberate and gentle touch. The act of suction, the linchpin of this ancient ritual, serves a profound purpose - to galvanize the flow of "qi," a quintessential Chinese term that signifies the very essence of vitality and life force.

Advanced Facials - Bespoke Advanced Facial

There is certainly not a “one size fits all” approach which is why we have here the option of combining a number of treatments which work synergistically with each other. As with any appointment you have with me, it will come down to what is right for you and your skin on the day.

A ‘sweety shop’ of some of the best treatments on the market to suit you. Mesotherapy, EPN Pen Microneedling and Electroporation, FILLMED Skin Perfusion Bright or Light Peel, RF (Radio Frequency) and Electroporation Skin Tightening, Masks and Dermalux Flex LED.

Advanced Facials - Mesotherapy

Over 3000 years of history and research, what more proof could you need to support the efficacy of this treatment.

If, like me, you are looking to improve skin health in a manner that has many, many years of research and development behind it, then don’t look any further. 3000BC in various countries, doctors would practice ‘puncturing the mesoderm and would then apply a topical ointment to the area.

Dr Michel Pistor had the idea for Mesotherapy during the treatment of a patient with asthmatic bronchitis. He founded the French Society of Mesotherapy and published his paper purely focusing on pain management originally in veterinary medicine, in 1969. Mesotherapy, has in 1987, been classified by the Academy of Medicine as an integral part of classical medicine and is still taught in medical schools throughout the world to this day.

The treatment involves micro injections of therapeutic substances such as Hyaluronic acid, vitamins, minerals and amino acids into the superficial dermis. Allowing the ingredients to come into contact with dermal fibroblast cells. Using a CE registered Mesotherapy cocktail to treat primarily dry/dehydrated skin, lines and wrinkles. Secondary to that, Mesotherapy can help with pigmentation.

Advanced Facials - FILLMED Bright Peel or FILLMED Light Peel

WOW! Only the best for you and I. So many out there on the market and I wanted to ensure that I adhere to my ethos of “if I wouldn’t use it on myself, I surely won’t be using it on you”.

Bright Peel : Designed to target pigmentation and lighten and brighten the skin. A unique combination of gluconolacctone with phytic, citric and glycolic acids, taking the skins pH to 1.5 for superficial peeling. Bright Peel gives instant uniformity of the skin and works on long term improvement of pigmentation.

Light Peel : Fillmed Light Peel is specially formulated for sensitive skins to iron out fine lines and wrinkles, whilst making the skin appear radiant and bright again. Youthfulness is restored to the skin. The Mandelic Acid works as the active ingredient to function as a peelant on sensitive skin. If you have a dull complexion, then Fillmed Light Peel can work miraculously to make your appearance look healthier with a natural glow.

These peels are ideal as an anti-ageing solution, if you are wanting to erase the first signs of ageing, without needles and injections.
No skin preparation is required by you before treatment and there is minimal to no ‘downtime’. It is the most non-invasive method of eradicating wrinkles and can even be applied during lunch breaks.

Let’s add in a relaxing time under the Dermalux Flex LED to really get the optimum results.

Sienna X Professional Tan

For people who want to enjoy a gorgeous natural-looking glow that makes them look and feel gorgeous

For me, choosing the right spray tan to have on myself was a mammoth task, as I absolutely hated the things. They stank of digestive biscuits, were pretty orange in colour, and for the most part went really mottled when fading. Then, I stumbled upon Sienna X 1hr Spray Tan Formula a number of years ago and have never looked back.  

Due to advanced tan intensifiers, the Sienna X signature colour hits you after just 1 hour, then you can wash it off and watch it develop over the next 2 to 4 hours. Designed for people who want to look gorgeous without sitting around in tan for hours; its no fuss, it works and it’s packed with Sienna X skin moisturising ingredients.

This multi award winning formula won’t disappoint, especially with a developing time of 2-4hours, let alone the fact that it is 100% Cruelty Free and Vegan friendly.
