You’d be forgiven for assuming their flawless, glowing complexions and bods are down to diet and exercise but even our favourite celebrities need a helping hand, investing in a number of advanced treatments to ensure they are red carpet ready. And many of them are available right here at Zen!
CACI: The Non-Surgical Facelift
Dubbed the non-surgical facelift and a favourite with celebrities including Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian West, CACI Facial Treatment is a powerful anti-ageing treatment without the need for Botox or more invasive procedures. The treatment uses simultaneous LED light therapy combined with a micro current to stimulate facial muscles, helping to remove, reduce and soften lines. It also tones skin and provides definition to the face. Jennifer Lopez loved the dramatic results so much she bought her very own machine but you can experience it here at Zen. The one hour facial costs for just £79, or £119 for the CACI Ultra, a 90 minute experience combining 4 different technologies . A course of 10 treatments is needed, which includes 2 free when booked as a package.
IPL: The Photo Facial
It’s the acclaimed non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatment of choice for many a celebrity, including Jennifer Aniston and Victoria Beckham. The IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Skin Rejuvenation Facial – also known as the Photo Facial, is a light-based technology that uses bursts of light at specific wavelengths to target a wide range of skin conditions all in the same treatment. Pigmented and sun damaged skin, enlarged pores, redness and rosacea, uneven skin tone, texture and reduction in collagen production can be tackled and it’s little wonder it’s an A-list must. It’s one of our most effective advanced treatments and it costs just £100 per session. 3 to 6 sessions are usually required for optimum results.
EXILIS: The Lunch Hour Bum Lift
Sculpting, lifting, firming…a number of celebrities and reality TV stars have opted for a non-invasive bum lift. Our new award-winning Exilis Ultra 360 offers just this, as well a host of body sculpting procedures.
The state of the art device heats tissue using radio waves and ultrasound to melt fat away and also spark collagen growth, shrinking loose skin which is caused from ageing, weight loss or pregnancy. It’s been dubbed the ‘lunch hour bum lift’ for its quick, pain-free results and Elixis offers on average of 40-50% skin tightening. What’s not to love? Prices start at just £150 per single session for one area with a minimum of four sessions recommended.
ULTRAcel: The Medical Facial
Thermage has a new competitor – ULTRAcel. This powerful cosmetic solution is making big waves with celebrities in London, and combines thermal heat energy with radio frequency microneedling to help boost collagen and elastin production in the deeper layers of skin for a tightening effect. The revolutionary non-surgical tightening and lifting treatment can also treat dark circles, stretch marks and acne scarring. Our cosmetic partners from the famous Dr Rita Rakus cosmetic clinic, who have carried out Amanda Holden’s treatment, offer this treatment at their monthly clinic in our Bruntsfield salon.
