There’s no such thing as too much skincare. In this world, where your dermat (or surgeon’s) number is a closely-guarded secret, facials are something akin to skin couture. These treatments that bring together rare ingredients with high-technology and bespoke protocols are subtle flexes, signalling access and a taste for the impeccable.
AI-powered Facials
For maximum impact with zero downtime, the Hollywood Glow Facial at Reaviva Holistic Health in Mumbai delivers instant results. Picture lifted, brightened, and tightened skin in just over two hours. The treatment begins with a 40-minute facial featuring cleansing, sugar exfoliation, steam, and gentle extractions, followed by cooling globes and a lymphatic drainage massage to calm and de-puff. The highlight is an AI-powered radio frequency, which scans the skin in real time to deliver customised energy—lifting where needed, tightening where necessary. The final step, the TriBeam QSwitch laser, targets dullness and pigmentation for a radiant, even-toned finish.
Exosome Facials
If you’re in the know of the latest in skincare, you probably are familiar with exosomes, touted to be the next frontier in regenerative skincare. Dr. Madhuri Agarwal, dermatologist and founder, Yavana Aesthetics Clinic has harnessed the power of exosomes in a medi-facial she calls the Yavana Luminous Lift Medifacial. “The treatment combines cutting-edge exosomes sourced from Switzerland and Italy with FaceSTIM technology, a radio frequency and heat-based innovation designed to stimulate deep facial muscles for an immediate lift,” she explains to Robb Report India. The enhanced collagen and elastin production translates into a sustained youthful appearance with visible elevation and a sharper definition of facial contours—all delivered through a ritual that feels as indulgent as it is effective.
Anti-ageing Facials
Anti-ageing treatments are everywhere, but few manage to combine science-backed efficacy with a considered, holistic experience. The Age Stopper Facial at The White Door in Mumbai, developed with Skeyndor’s advanced skincare technologies, does just that. This multi-step treatment targets visible signs of ageing like fine lines, loss of firmness, and uneven texture through a combination of gentle exfoliation, neuropeptides and hydrating filler actives. A triple-action system works to smooth, plump, and relax the skin using ingredients such as caviar extracts, low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, and a jasmine-infused mask to reduce muscle tension and improve skin density. This treatment, whose results include a more balanced, lifted and deeply-nourished face, is a thoughtful choice for those seeking results without aggressive intervention.
Masque Exfoliant P50 Visage by Biologique Recherche
Inspired by the cult classic Lotion P50, this professional-only regenerative treatment is designed to deliver skin renewal without irritation. This concentrated mask gently exfoliates dead skin cells, fades pigmentation, and stimulates cellular turnover to reveal a visibly brighter, smoother complexion. Ideal for skin that’s dull, textured, or uneven, it acts like a full-system reset. With benefits that include instant radiance, refined texture, and a strengthened defence against ageing, this is the kind of insider’s treatment that quietly delivers red carpet-worthy results.
Janssen Cosmetic Facials
If K-beauty has a worthy successor, it has to be G-beauty. The range of Janssen Cosmetic Facials is a great way to get acquainted. Formulated in Germany, and rooted in professional skincare science, these facials are powered by active complexes that deliver visible results while remaining remarkably gentle on the skin. According to Dr. Batul Patel, medical director, at the Mumbai-based The Bombay Skin Clinic, one of the most standout products and treatments is the Pomegranate Facial Cream and the Enzymatic Exfoliator that effectively removes dead skin cells without stripping away natural oils. The creamy mask provides deep hydration, making it especially well-suited to India's humid climate—lightweight, non-comedogenic, and never heavy on the skin.
