As an aesthetic doctor, I’ve trialled many skin treatments over the years. It is a perk of the job! But every now and then, something truly groundbreaking comes along….
Enter SKINSTORM: a next-generation facial that’s got London’s top plastic surgeons and skin clinics talking and now, it could be coming to my clinic in Sale, Manchester.
What Is SKINSTORM?
SKINSTORM is a multi-step, high-performance facial combining several powerful technologies in one carefully designed treatment. Unlike traditional facials that give you a short-term glow, SKINSTORM targets long-term skin regeneration, collagen stimulation, and barrier repair, all while feeling like an ultra-luxurious experience.
It’s currently available in only a handful of elite clinics and used by plastic surgeons to prepare the skin pre- and post-facelift. After trying it myself, I can honestly say that it’s the most effective advanced facial I’ve ever had.
The SKINSTORM Experience: Step by Step
Here’s what makes this treatment so different — and so much more effective than any facial I’ve ever experienced including Hydrafacial:
1. Deep Cleanse & Exfoliation
Using advanced vacuum technology, SKINSTORM clears dead skin, oil, and congestion, gently but thoroughly. It creates the ideal foundation for the powerful ingredients and technologies that follow but does not damage the skin barrier as can be the case with some other exfoliating devices.
2. High-Concentration Oxygen Therapy
Next up is a medical-grade oxygen infusion, supercharged with hydration and healing ingredients. This oxygenates the skin at a cellular level, brightens the complexion, and reduces inflammation. This is the step which has excited surgeons in optimising skin and post operative healing.
3. Microneedling for Collagen Activation
This precise, controlled microneedling stimulates your skin’s own collagen production, improving firmness and texture without the downtime of more aggressive treatments. Skin looks immediately tighter, plumper, and more refined. The simultaneous cooling reduces redness and any discomfort,
4. Cryotherapy Skin Cooling
Then comes a hit of cryotherapy, cooling the skin to reduce inflammation, shrink pores, and lock in hydration. It leaves your skin calm, soothed, and visibly lifted.
5. Barrier Repair & Active Infusion
Finally, a potent cocktail of peptides and skin-restoring actives is infused to repair the skin barrier and deeply hydrate. This step is what gives SKINSTORM its long-lasting impact on skin health, not just appearance.
My Results: Ibiza-Ready Skin With No Downtime
I booked my SKINSTORM facial a few days before a weekend away in Ibiza and I honestly didn’t expect to get this level of glow. My skin looked plumper, fresher, more radiant and all my friends were asking what I’d done.
Despite all the powerful tech involved, there was no real downtime. My skin was slightly pink for a couple of hours, but there was zero irritation, flaking, or recovery. Just glowing, plump smooth skin!
Why It’s So Much More Than a Hydrafacial
If you’ve had a Hydrafacial before and loved the glow you’re not alone. It’s a great treatment for superficial exfoliation and hydration. But SKINSTORM is in a different league. Technology has moved on and SKINSTORM delivers so much more than the older style treatments such as Hydrafacial.
Whilst Hydrafacial offers cleansing, hydration and exfoliation SKINSTORM matches this and takes things to a whole other level. SKINSTORM also incorporates microneedling, high concentration gaseous and liquid oxygen, cryotherapy and drone technology to deliver medical grade actives and peptides deep within the skin.
Who it’s perfect for:
- Anyone looking for deep skin rejuvenation without downtime
- Perfect for those with skin barrier disruption or acne
- Patients already having injectables like Botox, Profhilo, Sculptra or polynucleotides to improve long term results
- People wanting pre-treatment prep or post-treatment recovery support
- Anyone frustrated with lacklustre skin despite a good routine
Could SKINSTORM Be Coming to Sale?
Right now, I’m deciding whether to bring SKINSTORM into my aesthetic clinic in Sale, Manchester. The feedback so far has been amazing, and I think it could offer something truly special to my patients.
