Medik8 + Advanced Facial Treatments
At SOMA, we pride ourselves on delivering high-performance skincare treatments that go beyond the surface — restoring skin health, radiance, and confidence. Our Specialist Facials combine cutting-edge technology with results-driven formulas to target a wide range of concerns, from ageing and pigmentation to acne and enlarged pores.
One of our most sought-after facial ranges is by Medik8, a globally respected British skincare brand known for its clinical-grade, cosmeceutical formulations. Rooted in the science-backed CSA philosophy (Vitamin C, Sunscreen, and Vitamin A), Medik8 facials are tailored to treat everything from fine lines and dullness to sensitivity and blemishes. These advanced treatments deliver visible results while offering a calm, luxurious experience that’s both corrective and indulgent.
For those seeking an instant skin refresh with no downtime, the Carbon Laser Facial — often dubbed the “Hollywood Facial” — is another powerful option. This innovative treatment involves applying a layer of medical-grade carbon to the skin, then gently passing a laser across the surface to vaporise impurities, dead skin, and excess oil. The result is tighter pores, smoother texture, and a brighter, clearer complexion — ideal for acne-prone, oily, or lacklustre skin.
Whether you're preparing for a special event, tackling specific skin concerns, or simply craving a deep skin detox, our Specialist Facials offer a targeted and transformative experience for every skin type.

After Care
Post Treatment Expectations
Immediately after your Medik8 facial, your skin will feel refreshed, hydrated, and noticeably smoother. A healthy glow is common, and any redness tends to be mild and settles quickly—usually within a few hours.
Depending on the facial or peel used, you may also experience:
Slight warmth or tingling
Mild sensitivity, especially to heat or active products
Light flaking in the days following treatments that include exfoliation or enzymes
These reactions are normal and temporary as the skin rejuvenates.
After Care
To protect your skin and maximise your results, please follow the guidance below:
For the First 24 Hours
Avoid touching or rubbing the treated skin unnecessarily.
Do not apply makeup if possible (mineral makeup only if essential).
Avoid heavy exercise, saunas, steam rooms, hot baths, and sun exposure.
Avoid using active skincare such as retinol/Vitamin A, AHAs, BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, or exfoliating products.
For 48–72 Hours
Use gentle, non-active cleansers and moisturisers only.
Keep skin well hydrated with Medik8-recommended moisturisers or serums.
Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds.
Do not exfoliate or use scrubs.
Avoid hair removal treatments on the face such as waxing, threading, or depilatory creams.
Sun Protection
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 daily, even on cloudy days.
Reapply if spending prolonged time outdoors.
This is essential to protect fresh skin and maintain results.
Makeup
You can return to normal makeup the following day, unless otherwise advised.
Mineral-based products are recommended immediately after treatment.
Ongoing Skincare
To prolong and enhance results, continue with Medik8’s CSA Philosophy:
Vitamin C in the morning
Sun protection daily
Vitamin A in the evening
This routine synergises with your facial and supports long-term skin health.
