The PDRN Salmon Sperm Reset Facial, Dr David Jack
© Dr David JackWhy we love it: In 2026, the ingredient on everyone's lips will be PDRN(polydeoxyribonucleotide), which is a DNA-based compound derived from salmon sperm. This popular ingredient is designed to repair, revitalise, and deeply hydrate the skin for an instant post-facial glow. You start with a refreshing cleanse of your skin Next is the Peptide 2-Phase Peel, which is a two-stage resurfacing system developed by Dr Jack, combining a gentle alkaline lift with a lactic acid rebalancing peel. This clears congestion, boosts glow and prepares the skin for deeper absorption. Next up is the star of the show, Microneedling with PDRN infusion. This delivers PDRN directly into the dermal layer, encouraging cellular repair from within. Finally, it's all about the modelling mask - this soothes, calms and reinforces the barrier for minimal downtime and instant luminosity. I found the whole experience deeply relaxing and it left me with such a glow the next morning. Pro Tip: After microneedling no makeup for the next two days, avoid retinol, hot showers and strenuous exercise.

Andrassy Facial, Omorovicza Institute
© Orin CarlinWhy we love it: Nestled within Mayfair's luxury district, Omorovicza's new London location is a veritable treat to behold. Inspired by both the brand's signature Budapest Institute and the Rácz Fürdő, the Omorovicza family's historic thermal bath, the space provides the perfect slice of respite within the busy capital.
Former SEO Content Writer Orin Carlin says: "Party season started a little early for me this year, and sadly the alcohol-induced dehydration spoke for itself. Dullness and fine forehead lines were my main concerns when I swung by Omorovicza's achingly elegant Mayfair location, but they were no match for the brand's 'Andrassy' treatment. The approach is totally bespoke, including a thorough questionnaire beforehand so you can communicate to your therapist exactly what it is you want to focus on. I'm totally here for an in-depth extraction, although I'd point out that this requires a little downtime for your skin to recover. I also loved the rigorousness of the Hungarian massage technique, giving my skin a noticeable temporary lift."

The care didn’t end there - Dr. Somji offers a curated line of skincare products available for purchase after treatment. This allowed me to continue addressing the specific concerns we discussed during my consultation, helping to extend the results of my facial well beyond my visit. I would definitely recommend.
