I haven’t reviewed a facial on my blog before because, on the whole, I think they can be a waste of time and

money. I concede that they can be relaxing and being pampered is always nice but I’ve got a very results driven attitude towards skin and I don’t think standard facials do very much to help improve the condition of the skin and sometimes they can make it worse. The exception to this is the advanced facials that are precisely tailored to give obvious results using a range of high tech equipment. I only know of a handful of places that provide this kind of treatment and the Teresa Tarmey Clinic is up there at the top of the list.
I saw Philippa at the clinic for the Advanced TT Facial and I thought it was truly incredible. It started with a deep cleanse with steam while Philippa assessed my skin and we discussed what I’d like to achieve. My main aims were tackling some little veins on my chin and around my nose and then improving and maintaining the tone and texture of my skin. It was decided that I’d be treated with a combination of two different lasers but first Philippa performed some extractions. This is something I’m usually very wary about as it could result in scarring if done by the wrong person. However, Philippa is so skilled that afterwards I couldn’t even tell the exact sites where she’d squeezed.
The latest lasers play a big part in treatments at the Teresa Tarmey Clinic and is one of the reasons why...
