Spring is all about renewal and rejuvenation. So why not schedule in some “me-time” with the best facial in Hong Kong for you? We asked the team from Glow Spa & Salon to tell us about four different skincare and technology categories, including a few chemical peel treatments and microneedling. There are lots of options within each category, too, so have a chat to determine what best suits your needs.
#1 Skeyndor facials
Skeyndor has been made and developed in Spain for over 50 years, with a focus on clinically tested and proven products containing quality, ethically sourced ingredients. It’s the fastest-growing skincare brand in Europe. Skeyndor regularly launches new products and improves its current lines, with the aim of delivering advanced skincare regimes for long-term results.
The Power Hyaluronic Facial (60 minutes, $980) deeply hydrates the skin protecting it from premature water loss caused by the sun and pollution. This treatment combines hyaluronic acid of different molecular weights with a potent aquaporin activator to improve natural skin hydrodynamics.
Then there’s the Power Oxygen Anti-Pollution Facial (60 minutes, $1,080.) This is the best facial in Hong Kong for reviving and renewing skin under stress from pollution. The treatment also actively speeds up the repair process while strengthening the skin’s defences.
It replenishes vital oxygen supplies and rejuvenates oxygen starved skin. Plus it shields against ongoing pollutants and provides intense and immediate brightening, hydrating and anti-ageing results.
#2 Mesoestetic chemical peel and more
Mesoestetic is a distinguished skincare brand known for its premium products designed for both professional and home use. It has a strong focus on innovative formulations and a commitment to scientific research, offering a wide range of solutions, including homecare, serums and professional treatments, aimed at addressing various skin concerns.
The Glow team incorporates Mesoestetic’s chemical peels into their treatments. The medical-grade ingredients deliver targeted solutions, making the peels an ideal choice for tackling pigmentation issues and signs of ageing. One notable offering is the Mesopeel Melanostop Tran3x Facial (60 minutes, $1,100), which is a depigmenting peel. With a complex formula, it accelerates epidermal renewal, effectively eliminating melanin buildup on the skin’s surface. It visibly improves skin tone and luminosity, all while balancing efficacy and skin tolerance.
Also highly rated by Glow is the Mesopeel MDOxyage (60 minutes, $1,300), a chemical lifting peel specifically designed for ageing and sagging skin. It stimulates cell renewal and enhances dermal density within the epidermis-dermis layer, effectively restoring firmness and smoothness to the skin.
#3 Environ
Environ Professional treatments seamlessly blend decades of scientific research with a profound understanding of skin, effective formulations and cutting edge technology. When administered by the skincare professionals at Glow, these treatments deliver healthy, radiant skin. Environ’s innovative dual electro-sonic technology sets a new benchmark in professional skincare. According to the salon team, it works by combining low frequency sonophoresis with pulsed iontophoresis, acting in harmony with Environ’s specialised products to deliver essential nutrients precisely where your skin needs them most.
Environ offers four targeted option for a facial in Hong Kong ($2,180 each.) These are designed to address specific skin concerns: anti-ageing, hydration, sensitivity, and pigmentation. Alternatively, try one of Environ’s Focus-On treatments ($1,100) – known as “lunchtime treatments” – which provide a quick yet effective solution. These 45-minute sessions are specifically crafted to target issues like frown lines, puffy eyes, skin plumping, and uneven skin tone. They’re perfect for targeted follow-ups or a fast refresh before a special event.
#4 Dermapen Microneedling
This cutting-edge skincare treatment is designed to enhance skin texture and promote rejuvenation. This technique utilises precision engineered microneedles to create controlled “micro-injuries.” These stimulate the body’s natural healing response and boost collagen and elastin production. It effectively addresses a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, scars and uneven texture.
The therapists at Glow offer two Dermapen Microneedling options: the MG Collection and MG Exo Skin. The MG Collection features innovative Meso-Glide (MG) serums that enable the Dermapen 4 device to glide smoothly across the skin while delivering targeted active ingredients for optimal results. This collection includes five treatments tailored to address a range of skin issues, with the standout option being MG-HA35+. This treatment boasts a remarkable concentration of hyaluronic acid (35 mg/ml), providing deep hydration and significantly improving visible signs of ageing. Single treatments are available starting at $2,480.
For optimal results, the MG Exo Skin option utilises biomimetic exosomes, which contain essential biomolecules such as proteins, growth factors, lipids and nucleic acids that enhance communication between cells. Notably, Dermapen’s Dp Dermaceuticals are free from animal derivatives, including FCS (Bovine Serum). This treatment is highly effective for skin rejuvenation on the face, neck and hands. Plus it helps to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, fade age spots and acne scars, and visibly minimise rosacea. A course of four treatments is available starting at $14,720.
