Anti-ageing facial in Leyton
Our Anti-Ageing Facial is the facial people usually choose for mature skin, and for concerns about firmness and fine lines. It’s a 60-minute facial that starts, like every facial at our spa on High Road Leyton, with a short skin consultation, so the treatment suits your skin on the day.
Time and price
What the facial includes
Your therapist looks at your skin and asks about your routine and anything that bothers you, then adjusts each step of the facial (cleansing, exfoliation, massage and the finishing products) to suit. We use professional skincare products, chosen for your skin type. It’s calm, unhurried time in a private, renovated room.
What to expect
A facial is skincare and time to relax, not a medical treatment, so we don’t promise to remove lines or change how firm your skin is. What we can do is focus the facial on what you’d like, and suggest how often to come. Regular facials, spaced sensibly, tend to suit skin better than one intensive treatment followed by a long gap; many people come every four to six weeks.
If you have a diagnosed skin condition, use prescription skincare or have reacted to a treatment before, tell us when you book. We may suggest a patch test first.
Coming regularly?
The Anti-Ageing Facial and the Men’s Anti-Ageing Facial are part of our specialised facial courses. You can mix and match seven specialised facials in one course, a different one each visit if you like, from £55 a session (20 sessions, £1,100). Courses run 3 months (3 sessions), 6 months (5) or 12 months (10, 15 or 20) from the start date you choose.
How it compares with other facials
If dryness is what you notice most, see hydrating and cleansing facials; if your skin looks dull or tired, the Brightening Facial; if it reacts easily, facials for sensitive skin. All four are in the specialised facial courses, so you can move between them.
Men’s Anti-Ageing Facial
The Men’s Anti-Ageing Facial follows the same steps and products, adjusted to your skin. Choose Men’s Facials when you book, then the facial: the booking form shows only the therapists who provide it, including when you choose “any therapist”. Men’s facials

Visiting us
Artisa Spa is at 359 High Road Leyton, London E10 5NA, in East London, a short walk from Leyton Underground station (Central line), with buses stopping close by. We’re open Monday to Saturday 10:00–22:00 and Sunday 10:00–20:00. When you book online you can ask us to sort out your parking: we arrange a visitor permit for your car for your appointment and email you where to park. Your permit starts at your appointment time, or earlier if you choose, and the council allows 10 minutes after it ends; the permit streets we send you to are about 3 minutes’ walk away. On match days at Brisbane Road, the stadium right behind the spa, parking is very hard anywhere in Leyton: allow at least 20 minutes to find a space. Please arrive 10 minutes early for your consultation. Questions first? Call 020 8558 8268.
Anti-ageing facial FAQs
How is the appointment adjusted to my skin?
At the consultation your therapist looks at your skin and asks about your routine and anything that bothers you, then adjusts each step and the finishing products to suit you on the day.
What can I realistically expect?
Time for your skin and a relaxing hour. We don’t promise particular changes to lines or firmness. Coming regularly, at a rhythm your therapist suggests, tends to suit skin better than one intensive treatment with a long gap after it.
How often should I come?
Many people come every four to six weeks. If you plan to come regularly, a specialised facial course lowers the price per session.
Is there a men’s version?
Yes. The Men’s Anti-Ageing Facial is 60 minutes and £75, with the same steps and products, adjusted to your skin.
