The New Age of Anti-Age: London's New Anti-Ageing Facial


Hydrate, firm, rejuvenate, glow. These are among the key benefits that have elevated facials to must-have treatments in age-defying skincare.
Even in a city as progressive as London, the beauty scene's non-invasive alternatives that deliver truly transformative results remain limited. Individuals are searching for something more: fast, long-lasting skin tightening, firming, brightening, and deep-level skin nutrition, all with little to no downtime or irritation.
This demand has become the foundation of our core facial offering: MesoJet's non-invasive, anti-ageing facial, available to London exclusively through Wellness at The Laslett.
The Science Behind Ageing Skin
The desire to maintain a more youthful appearance has long been a societal standard. While we accept the natural ageing process, the drive to counteract its effects has launched a wealth of remedial anti-ageing solutions, each designed to improve skin health through an ever-evolving range of age-defying technologies.
When acquiring the right solution for you, an understanding of the anti-ageing process itself can help determine how to best complement it:
Intrinsic and extrinsic factors contribute to complex changes in biological mechanisms and physiological functions, which alter our skin's appearance over time. While intrinsic ageing is naturally occurring and begins from as early as our mid 20's, extrinsic aging is largely influenced by environmental stressors:
Intrinsic factors include:
- Genetic predisposition
- The breakdown of collagen and elastin
- Slower cell turnover
- Reduced barrier function
- Thinning of the dermis
Extrinsic influences include:
- Exposure to UV radiation
- Environmental pollutants
- Smoking
- Poor nutrition
- Lack of adequate sleep
Optimising skin health requires a proactive approach to limiting extrinsic ageing influences, such as through balanced nutrition, restorative sleep, and consistent skin care.
With intrinsic ageing inevitable and genetically driven, anti-ageing solutions aim to instead optimise skin health and appearance while mitigating any previous exposure effects of extrinsic influences.
When you're seeking additional skin support, anti-ageing facials that boost hydration, stimulate cell turnover, and provide nutrition to the skin can help target the physical effects of extrinsic ageing, all while complementing the skin's natural ageing process.
A Look at Current Anti-Aging Facial Technology
Addressing the signs of ageing involves a broad spectrum of well-established skincare technologies and clinically supported facial treatments to choose from. Current technologies and firm fan-favourite facials include:
- LED Light Therapy
- Radiofrequency
- Microneedling
- Oxygen facials
- Chemical Peels
- Cryotherapy
- Hydro Dermabrasion
Although popular, many anti-ageing facial technologies bring their own set of limitations. Microneedling, although effective in boosting collagen and reducing the appearance of fine lines and scars, works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This method is inherently abrasive and causes common side effects such as redness, flaking, and sensitivity post-treatment.
The risk of infection is further exacerbated if not performed correctly by an experienced practitioner. As an invasive method, downtime is often its overarching downfall; for microneedling procedures that target deeper wrinkles, a full recovery can often take 5-7 days post-treatment.
The same principle applies to chemical peels, which, while effective for skin resurfacing and treating hyperpigmentation, use harsh chemical solutions such as glycolic acid, TCA, or salicylic acid. This can cause temporary skin barrier disruption, dryness, inflammation, and photosensitivity for up to two weeks post-treatment.
Such invasive methods are not always suitable for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin or those with darker skin complexions. Even if it's safe for you to use, the longer downtime periods often make it unjustifiable for time-poor individuals to incorporate it into their skin care routine.
In comparison to other market alternatives, this makes facials such as hydro dermabrasion a more attractive solution through its a gentler alternative to exfoliation and hydration of the skin.
However, with a gentle approach comes one inherent downside: limited penetration. Serums often remain surface-level, with active ingredient delivery that is less effective and less deep, resulting in shorter-lasting results.
Another popular solution is the oxygen facials, favoured as a quick glow and hydration method, which primarily hydrates the upper layers of the skin. It's quick, but delivers superficial results with relatively short-term effects, typically lasting between 3-7 days.
On the other hand, Radiofrequency techniques offer a highly effective approach to skin tightening and rejuvenation. However, as it's a singular action, it's often best utilised in conjunction with a broader facial protocol instead of as a standalone treatment.
As we delve deeper into the current anti-ageing facial market, a fundamental question arises: Is there a non-invasive solution with minimal downtime that delivers multi-action results and offers deep skin penetration for longer-lasting effects?
Yes, the answer lies in MesoJet.
Introducing MesoJet to London
Recognised by clients as the first true 'non-invasive facelift', Mesojet anti-ageing facial follows a unique, science-based method to ensure deep product delivery, collagen stimulation, and skin-tightening; all attained without the needles or significant downtime.
Ideal for those looking for immediate results, Mesojet's anti-ageing facial technology combines radiofrequency with needle-free transdermal infusion for a multi-action effect, providing deep exfoliation, hydration, firming, brightening, lymphatic drainage, and wrinkle reduction.
Advanced hydroporation delivers active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin, while radiofrequency technology stimulates collagen and elastin production, providing both a skin-tightening effect and enhanced ingredient absorption.
The system ensures deep exfoliation without irritation, using jet propulsion technology to cleanse and renew the skin without harsh chemicals or abrasive contact.
This makes it a far gentler alternative to chemical peels and a more effective solution than surface-level facials. While it doesn't puncture the skin like microneedling, MesoJet supports collagen stimulation through a non-invasive approach, making it particularly well-suited for sensitive skin or those seeking minimal downtime.
Included in Wellness at The Laslett's premium skincare offering, we can provide a standalone session for an immediate post-facial glow or a full course of treatments to deliver results that span over several months.
