iS Clinical Fire & Ice Facial (Renew Skin)
Ever wondered how celebrities get that red-carpet-ready glow? Designed to resurface the skin rapidly and safely, the iS Clinical Fire & Ice facial is legendary for its quick results and little to no downtime.
Involving a mixture of warming and cooling sensations (hence the name) the two-part treatment leaves your skin glowing, refreshed, and invigorated—and it’s great to diminish the look of blemishes and wrinkles. Oh, and you can apply makeup right away (which is why it’s rumored to be red-carpet-approved).

Carboxytherapy (Ogee Facial Rejuvenation)
Have you heard of this little-known rejuvenation procedure? Now you have. Injecting the skin with gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) in tiny amounts, Carboxytherapy is said to help with brightening skin tone, eliminating puffiness around the eyes, fading fine lines and wrinkles, muting scars, reducing dark under-eye circles, rejuvenating the face, smoothing skin texture, shrinking pores and tightening skin.
So, basically, it sounds like a need, not a want.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Facial (Tinted Skin)
Remember the “vampire facial” that blew up the internet? This is it. In the treatment a small portion of your blood is collected and processed in a centrifuge, then injected back into your areas of concern.
Wondering why the hell you would want to do this? It not only helps to improve skin texture and rejuvenate UV-damaged skin, but it also reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.

Choose from one of Sycamore Media Spa’s options (think Cherry Bloom Therapy or 24K Luxury Gold Therapy) and see what the buzz is about.

Recommended for revitalising dull, dehydrated, premature ageing, sun-damaged and acne prone skin, name a better way to relieve some stress?
