ITo find the perfect facial for a gift, you can contact us at 01928 787870 or email us at kingsley@novumsalons.co.uk. We’ll ask a few questions, such as age and specific skin concerns, to help guide your choice.

• For recipients aged 30 to 65+, the Platinum Facial is a fantastic option for anti-ageing, preventative care, and reducing visible signs of ageing.

• If they have multiple concerns, such as dehydration, fullness, or breakouts, the Bespoke Facial is ideal. It’s a personalised treatment tailored to address their unique skin needs. We’ll help you choose the perfect facial based on their needs for a thoughtful and memorable gift.

We recommend having either the Medik8 Platinum Facial or the Novum Bespoke Medik8 Facial every 2-4 weeks  for optimal results. This frequency helps maintain healthy, radiant skin and ensures you’re addressing your skin’s needs consistently.

For inflamed acne, we recommend preparing your skin with CSA (Vitamin C, Sunscreen, and Retinol) for 4 weeks before any peel, along with Clarity Peptides to help reduce inflammation. If you are under medical supervision or have been prescribed treatment by your GP, please consult with your doctor before booking your treatment to ensure it's suitable for your skin.

If you have Fitzpatrick skin types 4, 5, or 6, we recommend preparing for 4 weeks with CSA (Vitamin C, Sunscreen, and Retinol) along with Oxy R Peptides to help reduce the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Due to the increased risk of pigmentation with deeper skin tones, it’s essential to follow this preparation before undergoing any peel, ensuring the best and safest results.

Medik8 CSA stands for Vitamin C, Sunscreen, and Vitamin A (Retinal), a simple yet powerful skincare routine designed to protect, repair, and renew the skin.

• Vitamin C helps brighten the skin and protect it from environmental damage.

• Sunscreen is essential for protecting the skin from harmful UV rays, preventing premature ageing and pigmentation.

• Vitamin A (Retinal) supports skin renewal, improves texture, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits, making it excellent for those with breakouts or acne. The CSA philosophy is at the core of Medik8’s approach, ensuring optimal skincare results by focusing on these three essential elements for healthy, youthful skin.
