What happens during your treatment

90 minutes, fully clinical, fully customised. Every step is selected for your skin on the day - the protocol is a framework, not a fixed template.

1. Skin analysis with your dermal clinician. Re-assessment of your skin's current barrier function, hydration, sensitivity and target concern. Treatment selections (peel strength, modality combination) are calibrated to what we find.

2. Tailored Circadia enzyme therapy. One of the Circadia enzymes - Cocoa for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin, Raspberry for uneven tone or pigment concerns, Zymase for mature or sun-affected skin. The enzyme prepares the skin and supports deeper, more even action of the steps that follow.

3. Targeted Circadia peel. A professional peel selected to match your concern - Lactic Acid (30%, 35% or 45%) for hydration and pigment support; Mandelic-based options for pigmentation in deeper Fitzpatrick skin tones and acne; alpha/beta combinations for congestion and texture. Layer count and timing are individualised.

4. Oxygen Rx treatment. A signature Circadia treatment that creates a controlled oxygen-rich environment on the skin. Particularly well suited to acne-affected, inflamed or sensitised skin - it supports a clearer skin environment, calms visible redness, and brightens.

5. Firming Peptide Mask. An advanced Circadia mask that creates a tightening, sculpting sensation as it sets. Supports microcirculation, lymphatic drainage and the appearance of skin firmness. Most clients find the tightening sensation part of the treatment experience.

6. Advanced multi-modality refinement - two of three modalities selected for your skin. The dual-modality combination is what differentiates Skin Correction from a single-modality facial. Your clinician selects two on the day, based on your skin's concern and condition:

• Dermaplaning - a sterile, single-use surgical-grade blade is gently drawn across the skin to remove dead surface cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). Skin is visibly smoother on the day, with a cleaner, more even canvas for every product that follows.

• Microdermabrasion - controlled mechanical exfoliation using a diamond or crystal-tip head under gentle suction. Refines pore appearance, evens texture, and supports the corrective peel work - particularly suited to congested, oilier or thickened skin.

• Maxcare V-PRO (6-in-1 advanced technology) - microcurrent for the appearance of lifting and tone, EMS for circulation and firmness, electroporation for the deep delivery of active serums. The most-loved part of the treatment for most clients - sculpting that's visible on the day.

7. LED light therapy. Red LED to support recovery and the appearance of firmness; blue LED to support a clearer skin environment where appropriate.

8. Customised Circadia finishing mask. Selected to actively support your concern - brightening, soothing, antioxidant or barrier-reinforcing - while restoring balance after the corrective steps.

9. Facial sculpting and remedial massage. Neck, shoulder, décolletage and scalp release. Supports circulation, lymphatic flow and stress reduction. Stress is a meaningful contributor to skin issues - addressing it is part of the clinical approach.

What you'll feel

• During the peel: a brief tingling sensation that settles within minutes.

• During dermaplaning (if selected): a light scratching sensation as the sterile blade glides across the skin - most clients describe it as relaxing rather than uncomfortable. No pain.

• During microdermabrasion (if selected): a fine sandpaper-like texture with gentle suction - slightly firmer than dermaplaning but still comfortable, with mild warmth from the friction.

• During the Maxcare V-PRO step (if selected): a gentle tingling or pulsing sensation from the microcurrent and EMS, and a soft buzzing during the electroporation phase. Most clients describe the experience as energising and "interesting" rather than uncomfortable - and it's often the part of the treatment they look forward to most.

• During the Firming Peptide Mask: a tightening, sculpting feeling as the mask sets - this is part of how the mask works.

• Immediately after: visibly brighter, smoother, more even-toned skin with reduced visible congestion.

• First 24 hours: mild warmth or flushing that settles within a few hours.

• Days 2–4 (with stronger peel selections): possible light flaking or mild dryness - your clinician will tell you what to expect for your specific peel.

• From day 5 onward: most clients describe their skin as smoother, clearer and more refined.

How often

Most clients see strongest results across a corrective course of four to six sessions, scheduled four to six weeks apart. After the corrective phase, most clients move into a monthly maintenance rhythm to hold the results. Your clinician will recommend a plan calibrated to your concern and your skin's tolerance.

Pricing

Packages are pre-paid and valid for 12 months from purchase. Includes professional skin analysis and skincare review at every session.

The science behind it 

Why we move into correction only after the barrier is stable

Active correction - peels, advanced enzymes, microcurrent - works best on a skin barrier that is functioning properly. Layered onto a compromised barrier, the same protocols cause irritation, poor product tolerance, and reduced results. The Skin Reset Ritual addresses that first; this treatment performs the actual corrective work once the foundation is in place.

Our clinical sequence:

• Repair - restore barrier function and hydration

• Strengthen - reinforce skin resilience

• Correct - move into targeted concerns once the barrier supports it (this stage)

• Transform - layer advanced regenerative techniques where appropriate

Which peel you might receive

The right choice depends on your concern, Fitzpatrick phototype, peel history, and skin condition on the day. Your clinician selects and adjusts strength on every visit — not from a fixed template.

Why Oxygen Rx and the Firming Peptide Mask sit together in this tier

Oxygen Rx is a Circadia signature that supports a controlled oxygen-rich environment on the skin. It is particularly suited to clients with active acne, inflamed skin or sensitivity that has shown up alongside other concerns - it calms visible redness while the rest of the protocol does corrective work. The Firming Peptide Mask follows because peptide infusion lands more effectively on freshly-treated, well-circulated skin. The sequence is intentional, not stacked.

The advanced modalities - what each one does and why two are better than one

The two-modality combination is one of the most important reasons Skin Correction produces a different result than a single-modality facial. Each modality acts on a different layer or aspect of the skin - surface, texture, muscle, product delivery - and the combination, chosen for the right skin, is genuinely more effective than any one technology used alone. Below is what each modality does, why we offer it, and the specific benefit it brings to the corrective work.

Dermaplaning

A sterile, single-use surgical-grade blade is gently drawn across the skin to remove the upper layer of dead surface cells and the fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) that sits on most faces. The result is immediate: skin looks visibly smoother, more luminous and more even on the day, and makeup applies with notably less effort. The most clinically meaningful benefit, though, is what happens next - every product applied after dermaplaning penetrates dramatically better. Serums that struggle to push through a layer of dead cells and hair land far more effectively on freshly-dermaplaned skin, which is why dermaplaning is one of the most powerful modalities to pair with the corrective peel and active serums in this tier. Best for: clients wanting visible immediate radiance, smoother texture, and improved performance from their entire skincare regimen.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion uses a controlled mechanical exfoliation - typically a fine diamond or crystal-tipped head drawn across the skin under gentle suction - to remove the outer layer of dead skin cells, refine the appearance of enlarged pores, and support a more even texture. It pairs particularly well with the corrective peel step in this tier because it primes the skin physically before the chemical step does its work biochemically. Best for: clients with congested or oilier skin, thickened or keratinised texture, or anyone wanting more substantial mechanical exfoliation than at-home cleansers and scrubs can provide. The result is refined texture, more even pore appearance, and an overall improvement in radiance that develops across the treatment.

Maxcare V-PRO - 6-in-1 advanced technology

The Maxcare V-PRO is a multi-functional device that combines several modalities into a single sculpting step - and it's the modality most clients describe as their favourite part of the treatment. There are three core technologies inside it, each doing something different:

• Microcurrent delivers low-level electrical impulses that gently activate the facial muscles, supporting the appearance of lifting, toning and contouring. Often described as a non-invasive workout for the face. Best for clients wanting visible sculpting and an immediate "awake" effect.

• EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) supports circulation, lymphatic flow and the appearance of firmness across the face. Particularly noticeable on the jawline and the cheek-to-neck transition, where most clients want a tighter, more defined look.

• Electroporation uses brief, controlled electrical pulses to temporarily open pathways in the skin's outermost layer, allowing the active serums applied during the step to be delivered far more effectively than topical application alone. This is what makes the Maxcare V-PRO a genuine treatment rather than a finishing touch - the serums actually land where they need to.

The combination of these technologies in a single step produces a sculpting and toning effect that's visible on the day, with cumulative improvements that develop across a course. Best for: clients with early signs of ageing, loss of facial definition, or anyone wanting the most pronounced sculpting effect available without injectables.

Why two of three, not all three

Each modality does something specific. Dermaplaning works on the surface, microdermabrasion works on texture, the Maxcare V-PRO works on muscle, circulation and product delivery. The right combination is the two that fit your skin on the day - not all three layered on top of each other. Stacking too many active modalities in a single session compromises the barrier and dilutes the result. The two-modality choice is what makes this tier clinically appropriate as well as effective; your clinician makes that selection at the start of every session, not from a template.

More than a facial - a full rejuvenation experience

Every treatment includes neck, shoulder and décolletage work plus a scalp release. Stress is one of the most under-recognised contributors to skin barrier disruption and inflammatory skin concerns; treating the body alongside the face is part of the clinical approach, not an add-on.

Frequently asked questions

Will I peel after this treatment?

Sometimes - it depends on the peel selection on the day. Light flaking is most common from day 2 to day 4 with stronger peel selections. Your clinician will tell you exactly what to expect for the peel you receive, and you'll go home with a written aftercare card.

Can I have this treatment if I have active acne?

Yes - active acne is one of the conditions this treatment is specifically designed to support. The Oxygen Rx step is well suited to inflamed, acne-affected skin, and the peel and enzyme are calibrated to your skin on the day. Active cystic flares may need a modified protocol, which we agree at your consult.

Is it safe for darker skin tones?

Yes. The peel selection is adjusted to your Fitzpatrick phototype - mandelic-based options are particularly well suited to deeper skin tones because they reduce the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation that can follow more aggressive resurfacing. We never apply the same template to every skin.

How is this different from the Skin Reset Ritual?

The Skin Reset Ritual is foundational - it focuses on barrier repair and hydration so your skin is stable. The Skin Correction Treatment is the active corrective step that comes after the foundation is in place. It uses Circadia Level 2 protocols (peels, Oxygen Rx, peptide masks) and combines two modalities in one session, where the Skin Reset Ritual uses one. It is also longer (90 minutes vs 60) and produces more pronounced visible change.

Can I have this treatment if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?

Some elements - including most chemical peels - are not appropriate during pregnancy and breastfeeding. We can usually adapt the treatment to a pregnancy-safe protocol that focuses on enzyme, mask, modality and LED elements. Please raise this at your consult so we can plan it correctly for you.

How soon will I see results?

Most clients notice a visible improvement in clarity, brightness and texture immediately after the first session. More substantial change to acne, pigmentation or texture typically becomes visible across the corrective course of four to six sessions. We document progress at each visit.

Do I need a consultation first?

Yes. Even if you're an existing client, this tier requires a brief re-consult on the day to confirm your skin is barrier-stable and to select the right peel and modality combination. New clients always start with a full consult.

What should I avoid before and after?

Before: avoid acids (glycolic, salicylic), retinoids, exfoliating scrubs and waxing for 7 days, and avoid sun exposure for 48 hours. After: avoid sun exposure, saunas, heavy exercise and active skincare for 24–72 hours depending on the peel selected. SPF every day, no exceptions.

Where this fits in your skin journey

Skin Correction is the active corrective phase - the place where targeted concerns measurably improve. From here you can either continue with the corrective course, hold results with monthly maintenance, or progress to:

• Skin Transformation Treatment - our advanced tier, layering skin needling and regenerative techniques on top of the corrective base for deeper, longer-term results. Recommended once your corrective course is well underway and your skin is responding consistently.

If your skin shifts back into a sensitised or compromised state at any point, we step back to the Skin Reset Ritual to restore the barrier before continuing. The path is not linear - it adapts to your skin.
