How often should I have a DermaQuest facial?


For best results, we recommend a DermaQuest facial every 4–6 weeks. This allows the skin to complete its natural renewal cycle while maintaining improvements in texture, tone and overall skin health. Clients with acne, pigmentation or active skin concerns may benefit from a short course of treatments, tailored during your consultation.

Are DermaQuest facials suitable for sensitive skin?


Yes. DermaQuest facials are fully customisable and can be adapted for sensitive or compromised skin. Your therapist will select appropriate active ingredients and protocols to strengthen the skin barrier while minimising irritation.

Is there any downtime after a DermaQuest facial?


Most clients experience little to no downtime. Mild redness may occur depending on the treatment selected, but this typically subsides quickly, making DermaQuest facials ideal for busy professionals seeking effective facials near them in North London.

What skin concerns do DermaQuest facials treat?


DermaQuest facials target a wide range of concerns including acne, congestion, pigmentation, uneven skin tone, fine lines, ageing skin and dehydration. Each treatment is tailored to your individual skin needs following a professional consultation.

Can I combine DermaQuest facials with other treatments?


Yes. DermaQuest facials can be combined with other advanced treatments to enhance results. Your therapist will advise on the best treatment plan based on your skin goals and lifestyle.

Please follow the advice provided from your skincare professional for the next 3-5 days post-treatment or until your skin is healed:

  • Keep the skin hydrated and protected with an SPF30
  • Avoid sun exposure
  • Avoid the use of active skincare containing AHA, BHA, Retinol, Benzoyl Peroxide
  •  Avoid sweating, exercising, hot baths or showers, scrubbing, picking or rubbing which could lead to scarring

Side effects may include, but are not limited to, stinging, itching, irritation, redness, swelling, tightness, peeling and scabbing of the skin. Once all sensitivity has gone, you can slowly reintroduce your normal skincare products.
