Prescription Facial at Sanctuary Skin Care

Prescription Facial

Tailored to your skin. Delivered with clinical precision.

Not every skin needs the same treatment. Our Prescription facial is tailored to your skin and delivered with clinical precision - assessed on the day, then designed around it. Your therapist selects from a curated range of clinical modalities, including enzyme therapy, ultrasound, exfoliating treatments, extractions, LED therapy, and more. We choose only what your skin genuinely needs at that moment.

The result is a prescriptive facial that works harder than a standard facial because nothing is generic and nothing is guesswork. Each visit adapts to where your skin is now, not where it was three months ago.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Prescription Facial work

Your clinician begins with a skin assessment to understand what your skin needs on that particular day. From there, they build your treatment using a curated selection of clinical modalities, which may include enzyme therapy, ultrasound, exfoliating treatments, extractions, LED therapy, and more. No two prescription facials are identical because no two visits are the same. The treatment evolves with your skin, ensuring every session is purposeful and targeted rather than routine.

Who is Prescription Facial for

The Prescription Facial is ideal for clients who want expert hands-on treatment and a clinician making considered decisions about their skin, not a fixed menu. It suits a wide range of skin types and concerns, from congestion and sensitivity to dullness, uneven texture, and early signs of ageing.

It also sits naturally within a broader skin strategy. For clients working through a treatment plan involving BBL, Tixel, HIFU, or other advanced treatments, the Prescription Facial supports and maintains the skin between sessions, keeping it in the best possible condition to respond well to everything else in the plan.

How does Prescription Facial feel?

This depends on the modalities selected for your skin on the day. Generally, the Prescription Facial is a comfortable, relaxing experience. Some treatment steps, such as extractions or exfoliating treatments, may involve brief, mild sensations, but your clinician will always work within your comfort level and adjust as needed.

Is there any downtime after Prescription Facial?

In most cases, there is no downtime. You can return to your normal activities straight after your appointment. If your clinician selects a more active treatment step such as a deeper exfoliant or extraction work, minor redness may occur and typically settles within a few hours.

How often is Prescription Facial recommended?

Monthly treatments are recommended for best results, particularly for clients with active skin concerns or those maintaining results between advanced treatments. Your clinician will advise the right cadence for your skin at each visit.

before + after care

what to do before your Prescription Facial treatment
  • Arrive with clean skin where possible, free of heavy makeup
  • Avoid active ingredients such as retinoids and exfoliating acids for 2–3 days before your appointment if your skin is currently sensitised
  • Let your clinician know of any new medications, skin changes, or reactions since your last visit. This helps them select the most appropriate treatment for that day
  • Avoid unprotected sun exposure and fake tan for at least one week before your appointment
what to do after your Prescription Facial treatment
  • In most cases, you can return to your normal skincare routine immediately after treatment
  • If a more active treatment step was used, your clinician will advise you specifically on what to avoid and for how long. Follow their guidance over any general advice
  • Apply SPF 50 after your session and daily in the days following, particularly if any exfoliation was performed
  • Avoid heat sources such as saunas, steam rooms, and vigorous exercise for 24 hours if your skin is feeling warm or sensitised post-treatment
  • Avoid applying makeup directly after treatment where possible, particularly if extractions were performed

"5 Star Clinic!

Natasha and her team are just incredible!

They are the skincare professionals who listen to your concerns and apply the best treatment for you. I struggled with Melasma for years however, I regained my confidence after treatments and home skincare regime.

All the staff members are very friendly so I always leave the clinic with clear skin and great feeling. It is an amazing place to be!"

"Natasha and the whole team at Sanctuary are so professional, caring and friendly - the best for skin care with a smile!

I have been seeing Natasha for a couple of years now and my skin has never looked better. I love how I can go in for an appointment and she'll recommend what's best for my skin, from a gentle relaxing facial to a more in-depth treatment.

Thank you for making my congested skin look and feel flawless. Already can't wait for my next appointment!"

"I had an incredible experience with Natasha at Sanctuary Skin Clinic. She went above and beyond — her extractions were the best l've ever had, and her expertise with BBL treatments far surpassed that of my high-end dermatologist (who charges much more).

What stood out most was the care, passion, and attention to detail she brought to every step of the treatment. I only wish I had found this clinic sooner. Could not recommend more highly!"

Jo B.

"It was divine. Emily was so caring, listened to what I was concerned about and provided great information to help understand what to expect, how things worked with skin science and showed her great knowledge and experience in working with different kinds of skin.

The facial was so gentle, soothing and restorative to not just my skin but my mind as well."

Mags

"Bree is THE BEST! Her depth of knowledge is incredible, she's super helpful and her treatments leave my mature skin looking and feeling fresh, plump and rejuvenated.

I've been having trouble with dermatitis on the side of my face and Bree chose gentle yet effective treatments to calm the inflammation and provide nourishment and healing.

I highly recommend Bree and all the team at Sanctuary Skin Care."

Tracie A.

"Sanctuary Skin Care has been the best skin clinic for laser treatments I've ever been to.

I feel safe in Emily's professional hands, her advice is spot on and she is a delight to deal with. She has an amazing ability to relax her clients with her great sense of humour whilst focusing on her work! Highly recommend!"
