The Southbourne Skin Edit: Facials, Glow-Boosting Treatments & Local Skin Specialists

From personalised facials and light therapy to microneedling and injectable skin boosters, Southbourne now offers an impressive choice of treatments for anyone looking to refresh their complexion or address a particular concern. Here is our edit of the treatments available locally and where to find them.

A professional facial is a great place to begin if your skin feels dull, congested, dry or simply in need of some attention. The advantage of choosing a personalised facial is that the products and techniques can be adapted to suit your skin on the day rather than following the same routine for every client.

Callie Ann Skin, based inside Sands Hair Design at Grove Court, 44a Southbourne Grove, Bournemouth BH6 3RB, offers personalised consultations and professional facials alongside a wider menu of advanced skin treatments. To discuss the most suitable facial for your skin, call 01202 432268.

Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliating treatment that removes dead cells from the surface of the skin as well as fine facial hair. It can leave the complexion looking smoother and brighter, while creating a more even base for skincare products and makeup.

The treatment is a popular option before a wedding, holiday or special occasion because it does not rely on an intensive recovery period. Results are temporary, however, so it can also be incorporated into a regular facial routine.

Dermaplaning is available through Callie Ann Skin on Southbourne Grove, where it can form part of a wider skincare plan tailored to your individual needs.

For those looking beyond a traditional facial, microneedling is designed to stimulate the skin’s natural renewal response through the controlled use of very fine needles.

It is commonly chosen by people who would like to improve the appearance of uneven texture, fine lines, enlarged pores or marks left behind by previous breakouts. Results develop gradually, and a course of treatments may be recommended depending on the skin concern.

Callie Ann Skin includes microneedling within its advanced treatment offering, with a consultation helping to establish whether it is suitable for your skin and what kind of results you can realistically expect.

LED light therapy offers a non-invasive addition to a skincare appointment. Different wavelengths of light are used according to the intended treatment, with options commonly selected to support ageing, blemish-prone or uneven-looking skin.

At Callie Ann Skin, LED light therapy can be added to many facial treatments. It offers an easy way to build an additional targeted step into a facial without turning the appointment into a more intensive procedure.

Skin boosters have become increasingly popular among clients who want to improve hydration and overall skin quality without dramatically changing their facial features.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which are generally used to add or restore volume, skin boosters are placed within the skin to support hydration and create a fresher-looking finish. They may be considered for areas such as the face, neck or hands, depending on the product used and the client’s needs.

SoLuna Aesthetics offers nurse-led aesthetic consultations from 127 Belle Vue Road, Southbourne, Bournemouth BH6 3DJ. Call07710 605227 to discuss its current skin-boosting treatments and arrange a consultation.

Polynucleotides are one of the most talked-about developments in advanced skincare. Rather than creating volume, the treatment is intended to support the condition and appearance of the skin over time.

They are often explored by people concerned about crepey texture, loss of elasticity or tired-looking skin, particularly around the delicate under-eye area. Because this is an injectable treatment, a full consultation is essential to discuss suitability, expected results, possible side effects and aftercare.

SoLuna Aesthetics offers consultations for polynucleotide treatments, with its nurse-led approach providing an opportunity to ask questions and understand the treatment before deciding whether to proceed.

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma therapy, uses a concentrated component of the client’s own blood as part of a skin-rejuvenation treatment. It is generally chosen by those interested in supporting skin renewal and improving the appearance of texture and overall skin quality.

The process is more involved than a facial and should always begin with a detailed consultation. Cosmetics HQ on Belle Vue Road offers specialist aesthetic procedures alongside its wider selection of beauty and skincare services. Contact the clinic directly to confirm its current PRP availability and consultation requirements.

Healthy-looking skin is not the only focus of Southbourne’s growing treatment scene. Japanese head spa treatments combine scalp cleansing, massage, steam and nourishing haircare to create an experience that is both practical and deeply relaxing.

Cosmetics HQ offers a dedicated Japanese head spa experience designed to cleanse and refresh the scalp while giving clients time to properly unwind. It is an appealing choice for anyone looking for something a little different from a conventional salon or skincare appointment.

If your priority is relaxation and an immediate glow, a personalised facial or dermaplaning appointment may be the best starting point. LED light therapy can add a targeted element without turning the visit into a more intensive procedure, while microneedling is generally suited to clients who are prepared to follow a longer-term treatment plan.

Injectable treatments such as skin boosters and polynucleotides, together with specialist procedures such as PRP, require more careful consideration. Always choose a suitably qualified practitioner and make sure the consultation covers suitability, potential risks, aftercare, expected results and the practitioner’s experience.

With experienced local specialists offering both traditional and advanced treatments, Southbourne is becoming a genuine destination for modern skincare - and there is now an option for almost every kind of complexion goal.

Treatment menus can change. Contact each business directly to confirm current availability, prices and suitability.
