Active facials are advanced skin treatments that go beyond traditional facials. They involve the use of specialised products and techniques to target specific skin concerns, such as acne, ageing, pigmentation, and dullness. These facials typically include active ingredients, such as alpha-hydroxy acids, beta-hydroxy acids, enzymes, or antioxidants, which work actively to improve your skin's health and appearance. The techniques at Fade are things such as skin needling, lasers & LED lights.

While regular facials focus on cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing the skin, active facials are the next step up by incorporating potent ingredients and innovative techniques to address specific skin issues. Active facials are designed to provide more noticeable and longer-lasting results, making them ideal for individuals seeking targeted solutions for their skin concerns.

Active facials can effectively address a wide range of skin concerns, including acne, acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, dullness, dehydration, and skin laxity. By customising the active ingredients and techniques used during the facial, our skilled dermal & laser therapists can tailor the treatment to your unique skin needs.
