Ksenia Lavrentieva, a Healthista contributor, reviewed five London beauty clinics that offer laser treatment and light therapy to help you take care of your skin this spring.

Our dry winter skin needs some TLC as spring approaches.

As the seasons change, you’ll find that most people are shedding their winter cocoons and preparing for warmer weather by adopting new workout routines, skin-care regimens, or supplements.

These treatments can rejuvenate the skin’s overall complexion

Our true and honest opinions are shared every month to help our readers navigate the options available in and around London.

Ksenia has been trying out treatments this month from BBL Laser to Infrared Light Therapy to find out how they can improve your skin’s overall complexion. Find out more about her comments ….

London Beauty Clinic # 1 The Clinic Holland Park

I was looking for a treatment to give me a clear, less red complexion.

After talking to their aestheticians, I chose to have a BBL treatment (Broadband Light Phototherapy) at The Clinic Holland Park. This is a beautiful boutique hidden away in the heart opulent Holland Park.

Perfect for anyone who suffers from rosacea or broken capillaries.

It was a quick procedure that didn’t require any aesthetics. The only thing it felt like was a rubber band snapping on your face.

This treatment is perfect for anyone who has rosacea or broken capillaries.

London Beauty Clinic # 2 The Body Lab

The Body Lab, located just off High Street Kensington in London, is a modern gym that offers the latest bio-hacking techniques for the body and the mind to help you achieve your best self both inside and out. We recommend the following treatments:

• Epsom salts water in an enclosed pod can help lower cortisol (the stress hormone), reduce inflammation, increase collagen production and improve sleep quality.
• The cyclotherapy chamber is a standing chamber at a temperature of -110 celsius. (Yes, it was a freezing cold room) This treatment activates your immune system and boosts blood circulation. It also helps you recover faster from sore muscle after a workout.
• Hyberbaric Oxygen Chamber – the first of its kind in the UK. This pod-like bed has been proven to increase mental clarity, improve sleep quality, and boost energy.

Members start at PS460 per Month

London Beauty Clinic #3 Remedi London

This beautiful, state-of-the-art facility in Nine Elms is where technology meets mental healthcare. It focuses primarily on bio-hacking to improve your well-being. Here are some of the treatments that we recommend:

• Infrared sauna: These are an upgrade from traditional saunas, as red light therapy has been proven to improve circulation and promote anti-ageing after just 45 minutes of treatment.
• Rebalance Impulse is a chair/bed that uses cognitive light therapy to promote pain management and reduce stress. It also gives a sense of relaxation by promoting neuromuscular relaxation. After the treatment, I felt calmer because it allowed me to turn off my phone and relax.
• Emerald Laser: This FDA-cleared laser can remove 6 inches on average of waist fat while increasing energy levels. It only took 30 mins, there was no downtime, pain or bruising and it didn’t require any downtime.

London Beauty Clinic # 4 Minalee London

Mina Lee, the founder and director at Minalee London in Chelsea is a specialist in luxury aesthetic treatments. We were able experience a bespoke, holistic facial at Minalee.

This treatment is not only healing but incorporates a variety of techniques to encompass the entire body. Mina’s healing hands felt like magic wands, working on both the inner and outer beauty.

This facial included consultation, body stretching and acupuncture on the face and head, as well as a heated table bed and luxury duvet.

The facial began with a cleanse and exfoliation, followed by a healing treatment, an acid peel and various serums and creams that were tailored to my specific skin.

Lastly, HIFU collagen boost was used to encourage elastin synthesis as well as hydration of the skin. Mina used product called Ranavat, which I highly recommend for your skin care regimen.

Mina’s hands were like magic wands.

Luxury ayurvedic skin care brand Ranavat was the first South Asian founded Ayurvedic brand to launch in the UK. They have partnered with Mina Lee, a Super Facialist to offer an exquisite, customized facial using luxurious and award-winning Ranavat hair and skin care treatments.

The facial experience uses the proven power of Ayurveda, adaptogens and other natural ingredients to deliver a luxurious treatment with incredible results.

This treatment is centered around saffron and includes the Brightening Saffron serum and the Saffron AHA Mask from Ranavat. It’s performed by Mina Lee.

This treatment includes deep cleansing and hydration, Kansa Wand and head massage, acupuncture, and facial massage.

Treatments can last between 60 and 90 minutes. Prices are available upon request
