A good fit if you want to improve skin texture, acne scars, or uneven skin tone. Suitable for most skin types, not recommended for active acne or significant sensitivity. Plan for 1 to 2 days of mild downtime, no sports or sauna for 24 hours, and no direct sun exposure for about 10 days after your treatment.
Enhancements are optional add-ons to improve your treatment. Your treatment is complete without them. Options include a Resurfacing Peel, Hyalogy Lift Mask, CLG Face Mask, and Exosome Regeneration. Choose what works for you.
A controlled skin renewal treatment that removes dead skin cells and stimulates cell turnover. Intensity and depth are chosen based on your skin's condition, improving texture, tone, and radiance with precision.
TeslaMed is a patented, non-invasive technology that works at a cellular level using controlled ion flows and microcurrents. It stimulates collagen production, improves firmness, and boosts skin vitality. No needles, no heat, no downtime. Results are visible from the first session and build over time.
For active acne, congestion and blackheads, the Signature (with Resurfacing Peel add-on) or Premium works best. For active breakouts, we assess during the intake and advise accordingly. Microneedling and the Elite are less suitable for active acne.
For early signs like dullness and fine lines, the Premium or Elite is a strong starting point. For targeted collagen stimulation, Microneedling delivers visible results over a course of sessions.
We offer four face treatments at different levels of intensity. The Signature and Premium are hands-on treatments using techniques and professional products, intensity varies based on your skin and preferences. The Microneedling and Elite Face Treatment use advanced equipment. Not sure where to start? The Signature is the right choice for most first-time clients and we will guide you from there or upgrade you on the spot.
A regenerative booster containing biomimetic exosomes; tiny molecular messengers that signal your skin cells to repair and renew themselves. Infused into the skin during treatment to accelerate recovery, boost collagen production, and amplify the overall result. Used with both our Microneedling and Elite Face Treatment.
Planning & booking
Yes, but it depends on the treatment and intensity. Please mention your holiday when booking and we will take it into account. Microneedling is not recommended before a sun holiday.

Yes. Use the link in your confirmation email. We ask for at least 24 hours notice. Changes or cancellations within this period will be charged the full treatment price.
Technically yes, but think of it like visiting the dentist twice a year without brushing your teeth. The treatment does something good, but your skin will not actually improve. We always recommend a home routine alongside your treatments. It does not need to be complicated, even a basic routine makes a significant difference.
Book directly via our website. Create an account, select your treatment, choose a date and time, and confirm. Not sure where to start? Book the Signature and add a note. We can always upgrade on the spot.
Once a month is ideal for most clients. For a specific skin goal your specialist will advise a tailored schedule varying from every 2 weeks to once every 3 months.
For online bookings we ask for a deposit equal to the cancellation fee. This protects our specialists' time. If you add your credit card to your account, either in the salon or when logging in, prepayment is no longer required for future bookings.
Specific skin goals
No. We focus on skin exclusively on the face. All face treatments include a lymphatic drainage massage of the neck and collarbone area and a neck and shoulder massage. Watch this space: scalp treatments are on our radar.
Microneedling is our most effective treatment for acne scars. It stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture over a course of sessions. For active acne, we focus on calming the skin first with the Signature (and Resurfacing add-on) or Premium.
Regular professional treatments with extractions keep pores clear and visibly smaller. For the most effective improvement in skin texture, Microneedling and the Elite Face Treatment — combined with active ingredients at home — deliver the best results. The Signature and Premium address congestion effectively as a foundation.
The Elite Face Treatment with TeslaMed is designed specifically for firmness and skin tone. For ongoing improvement a course of treatments works best. The Premium is a strong option for immediate visible results.
The Premium Face Treatment is our most popular choice for an immediate boost in radiance and freshness. A personalised resurfacing peel combined with intensive hydration delivers a result you feel the moment you leave.
Skincare basics
Start with three steps morning and evening: a cleanser, a lotion and/or serum, and a moisturiser (with SPF in the morning, without in the evening). Once those are consistent, play around with active targeted products based on your skin concern. Your specialist will help you build the right routine after your first treatment.
Regular professional treatments with extractions combined with a personalised product routine at home are the most effective way to keep blackheads under control. Leave squeezing to a professional (when safe), it can cause scarring.
Pore size is largely genetic and varies across different areas of the face. We can significantly improve the appearance of pores over time, but it is important to know that not every area of the face will become equally smooth. Professional treatments with extractions combined with active ingredients at home help over time.
Probably not. This is a classic sign of dehydration. When your skin lacks moisture, it compensates by producing more oil, which builds up during the day especially on the nose and forehead. The solution is not to use less moisturiser, but to use the right one. A good hydrating moisturiser morning and night usually solves this within a few weeks, optionally with a hydrating serum for extra effect.
Yes. SPF is the single most effective step you can take to protect your skin from ageing, pigmentation, and damage. Use it every morning, regardless of the weather or season.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signalling molecules in the skin. They tell your skin cells to produce more collagen, elastin, or other proteins depending on the type. GHK-Cu, also known as copper peptide, is one of the most researched peptides in skincare. It stimulates collagen and elastin production, supports wound healing, and has antioxidant properties. You will find it in some of the professional products we use and recommend.
Sun damage, post-acne (post inflammatory) marks, and hormonal changes are the most common causes. Professional treatments like the Premium and Microneedling improve uneven tone over time, combined with a consistent personalised home routine.
A cleanser removes dirt, excess oil, and residue without stripping your skin's natural barrier. A good cleanser leaves your skin clean but not tight or dry. Cleansing twice a day is enough for most skin types.
Collagen is the structural protein that keeps skin firm and elastic. Production naturally decreases from your mid-20s onwards. Professional treatments like Microneedling and the Elite Face Treatment actively stimulate collagen production.
PDRN, also known as polydeoxyribonucleotide or salmon DNA/sperm, is a naturally derived compound that supports the skin's repair process at a cellular level. It stimulates tissue regeneration, reduces inflammation, and improves hydration and elasticity. Used as an infusion booster during professional treatments for accelerated recovery and visible skin improvement.
Cleanser first, then serums from thinnest to thickest, then moisturiser with SPF in the morning. At night, skip the SPF and finish with a night cream if needed. Keep it simple.
Hydration refers to the water content in the skin (by far most people have dehydrated skin). Moisture refers to the oils and lipids that help seal that water in and support the skin barrier. Most people benefit from both. A hydrating serum can boost water levels in the skin, while a moisturiser helps lock it in, and many moisturisers do both.
Usually caused by a build-up of dead skin cells, dehydration, lack of sleep, or inconsistent SPF use. A professional treatment promotes cell turnover and helps remove excess dead (dull) skin. A consistent, personalised product routine makes the biggest difference.
Men and skincare
The earlier the better, but it is never too late. Your 20s are ideal for prevention. Your 30s and beyond are when targeted treatments start to make a real difference. Starting now is always the right answer.
Yes. Skin is skin. The main difference is that men's skin tends to be thicker, oilier, and more affected by shaving, which means certain ingredients and textures tend to work better. But the idea that men need entirely different products is mostly marketing.
Shaving removes the top layer of dead skin, which is a mild form of exfoliation. But it also creates micro-irritations, especially wet shaving or shaving very close to the skin. The closer the shave, the higher the risk of ingrown hairs, irritation, or folliculitis. For sensitive skin, trimming is always the better option. A gentle cleanser before and a calming moisturiser after significantly reduces redness and sensitivity. These work better than most classic shaving products, which tend to be too aggressive for the skin barrier.
Once a month is the standard recommendation. For specific goals or skin conditions, a temporary more intensive course may be advised.
Yes. Every skin needs hydration. A moisturiser with SPF in the morning protects and hydrates. In the evening, a moisturiser helps your skin recover and restore overnight. For best results, combine with a cleanser and a serum tailored to your skin concern.
Yes. Professional skincare uses carefully formulated products that are not available over the counter, both for in-treatment use and for home. More importantly, everything is matched to your skin by a trained specialist. No guesswork, no self-diagnosis, no wasted products. Most clients notice a visible difference after their first session.
A traditional facial focuses on relaxation. A professional skin treatment at Salon d'Homme focuses on results. We analyse your skin, use clinically proven techniques and professional-grade products, and build a plan for ongoing improvement.
Start with three steps morning and evening: a cleanser, a lotion and/or serum, and a moisturiser (with SPF in the morning). Once consistent, add targeted actives based on your skin concern. Your skin goals determine your routine, we help you match the two after your first treatment.
