My Reading Room

While pampering, most facials usually cannot promise more than a few days or a week of noticeable results. Aesthetic treatments, on the other hand, are designed to intensively target skin problems with prolonged results, but often don’t offer much in the line of pampering.

Enter The Sloane Clinic Illumi Facial ($353.10 for 60min) – a luxurious medispa facial that uses high-tech equipment to deliver lasting results and offers all the soothing, pampering comfort of a high-end salon facial. It begins with a Titan infra-red light treatment that is said to penetrate and warm the dermal layer of skin in order to boost collagen production for increased elasticity, so the skin tightens and lifts over time. It is followed by a brightening facial that uses green tea and sea weed to impart instant radiance as well as luminosity.

The treatment, which The Sloane Clinic recommends for anyone who wants to look more youthful, is most suitable for people with fine lines and wrinkles, or dull and tired skin.
