Specialist facials at Panache Medi Spa, Northwood
Experience the renowned Dr Vanita Rattan skincare protocols designed specifically to tackle complex skin concerns like acne, scarring, hyperpigmentation and signs of ageing. Our expert therapists deliver these science-backed treatments to help you achieve a clearer, more radiant complexion.
Many traditional facials rely on heat and harsh exfoliation, which can inflame skin of colour and leave dark marks behind. The Dr V Glow Facial was developed for skin of colour: a clinical, evidence-led treatment that works gently with your skin and protects its barrier.

How it works
Five steps, designed for skin of colour
Each step is ordered to keep heat and inflammation low, which helps avoid the dark marks some facials can leave behind.
- 01
Cupping
Gentle suction boosts circulation and lymphatic drainage, without the heat that friction can cause.
- 02
Radiofrequency and Glow Peel
Gentle radiofrequency warms the skin so the Glow Peel absorbs well. It exfoliates on a micro level, so there is no visible peeling.
- 03
Microneedling
Very fine needles, no deeper than 0.4mm, encourage new collagen. This comes after the warming step to keep inflammation down.
- 04
Glow Serum
DNA repair enzymes and active ingredients are infused through the tiny channels to support the skin’s repair.
- 05
Glow Mask
A cooling mask calms the skin and seals in hydration, finished with moisturiser and a mineral SPF 50.

Is it right for you?
A facial that works with your skin
The Glow Facial was developed for skin of colour. It is designed to protect the skin barrier and avoid the reactions some standard facials can trigger, such as dark marks after inflammation (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).
If other facials have left your skin irritated, this one is made for you. It is not suitable for everyone, so we go through your health and skin history at consultation first.

Good to know
Dr Vanita Rattan facial questions, answered
They are designed for pigmented, ageing, oily and acne-prone skin, and are formulated for skin of colour and diverse skin types.
No. These science-backed facials work without aggressive peeling or harsh downtime.
Allow 60 to 75 minutes. Many clients book a course of three for the best results.
There are five steps: cupping, radiofrequency with the Glow Peel, microneedling, the Glow Serum and the Glow Mask. You may feel gentle suction, warmth, a mild tingle from the peel and a light vibration from the microneedling, but it should not be painful, and your therapist can pause at any time.
It combines phytic, ferulic, kojic, ascorbic, lactic and mandelic acids with oligopeptide-1, glutathione, centella asiatica and DNA repair enzymes.
It is not suitable if you are under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding, have irritated or broken skin or an active infection such as a cold sore, or are taking Roaccutane or blood-thinning medication. The same applies if you have a history of keloid scarring, a blood clotting disorder, uncontrolled diabetes, some autoimmune conditions, or are having cancer treatment. We check all of this at your consultation.
Avoid other facial treatments for two weeks beforehand, have any waxing or threading at least a week before, and stop retinol or tretinoin five days before. Bring a cap and sunglasses for afterwards, as your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight.
Aftercare is an essential part of the treatment. You use a Dr Vanita Rattan aftercare set matched to your skin, one for pigmentation and anti-ageing or one for acne-prone skin, and each set lasts about six weeks. Leave the treatment products on overnight and restart your usual routine the next morning.
No make-up for 24 hours, no strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms or sunbathing for 48 hours, and no swimming for seven days. Avoid waxing, threading, exfoliating and other facial treatments for two weeks. Your skin may look pink for up to 24 hours, and very sensitive skin can be slightly swollen for up to 48 hours.
