Full face waxing is a quick, effective way to remove unwanted hair from the whole face in one appointment, typically taking in the upper lip, chin, cheeks, sides of the face, brows and sometimes the forehead. Warm or hot wax is applied to small sections and removed to lift the hair out from the root, which leaves the skin smooth and slows visible regrowth compared with shaving or plucking.

Advanced electrolysis, sometimes called advanced cosmetic procedures or short-wave diathermy, is a treatment used to reduce or remove minor skin blemishes. A very fine, sterile probe delivers a tiny, controlled amount of heat energy to the blemish, which either lifts it away or dries up the small blood vessels feeding it. It is commonly used for skin tags, milia (small keratin bumps), thread veins (telangiectasia), blood spots (Campbell de Morgan spots), spider naevi and some other superficial blemishes.

High frequency is a long-established beauty therapy treatment that uses a glass electrode filled with an inert gas, usually argon (which glows violet) or neon (which glows orange). When the electrode passes over the skin it carries a gentle, rapidly alternating low electrical current and produces a small amount of ozone. It is most often used as a finishing step within a facial, particularly for skin that is oily, congested or prone to breakouts, because the ozone has a mild purifying effect and the current is said to encourage circulation. There are two common methods.
