Skin Architecture Method™
Advanced Facials, Designed Around Your Skin
Your skin does not always need the same thing. Your facial should not be the same every time either.
The Skin Architect™ brings together Christina’s range of personalised advanced facials on Harley Street, with each treatment selected and adapted according to your skin, its current condition and what you would like to achieve.
From hydration and brightness to congestion, maintenance and overall skin health, Christina will guide you towards the facial experience that feels right for your skin.

A Different Kind of Facial Experience
More Than a Moment of Relaxation
There is something wonderful about taking time out for a facial, but Christina believes that time should work harder for your skin too.
Her advanced facials combine the care and attention of her luxury spa background with a more results-focused approach to skin health.
Rather than every client receiving exactly the same treatment, Christina considers how your skin looks and feels when you arrive, alongside any concerns you would like to address and your wider treatment plan.
Your facial can then be adapted accordingly.
This makes The Skin Architect™ equally suited to someone looking for regular professional skin maintenance and someone whose skin needs a little more attention at a particular moment.
Which Facial Is Right for Me?
You do not need to work this out on your own.
Christina’s advanced facials can be tailored according to your skin, which means your treatment may look slightly different depending on what it needs.
You may be looking to:
- Maintain healthy, well-conditioned skin
- Restore hydration
- Brighten dull or tired-looking skin
- Support a smoother skin texture
- Address congestion
- Give your skin a refresh before an occasion
- Maintain the results of other professional treatments
- Build regular facials into a longer-term skin health plan
If you have a particular concern, Christina can discuss this with you before your appointment and recommend the most suitable approach.
What Can an Advanced Facial Include?
Tailored From the Moment You Arrive
Rather than following one rigid protocol, your facial is shaped around your skin.
Depending on the facial selected and what is appropriate for you, the experience may incorporate elements such as:
- Thorough double cleansing
- Professional exfoliation
- Extractions where suitable
- Hydrating or targeted masks
- Lymphatic drainage facial massage
- Skin boosters or targeted finishing products
- Personalised skincare guidance
- Dermalux LED Light Therapy as an optional enhancement
Christina will explain the approach being taken and why particular elements have been chosen for your skin.
The purpose is simple: to make every part of your treatment feel considered rather than routine.
Why Include Facials in Your Skin Plan?
Healthy Skin Needs Maintenance Too
Advanced facials are not only for when something feels “wrong” with your skin.
They can be an important part of maintaining its overall condition, particularly if you are already happy with your skin and want to keep it looking and feeling its best.
Christina also uses facials as part of wider treatment programmes where appropriate, allowing clients to maintain their skin between other advanced treatments.
For some, that might mean a short course of facials. For others, it may simply mean returning when their skin feels ready for professional attention.
There is no need to follow someone else’s schedule.
Who Are Christina’s Advanced Facials For?
Christina’s facial treatments are available for clients aged 18 and over and can be adapted to suit a broad range of skin types and needs.
They may be particularly well suited to clients who:
- Want to improve their overall skin health
- Have no major concerns but want professional maintenance
- Feel their skin looks dull or tired
- Want additional hydration
- Experience congestion
- Would like a personalised alternative to a standard facial
- Are maintaining the results of another treatment programme
- Want professional guidance alongside their home skincare
- Would like to prepare their skin ahead of a special occasion
Christina’s existing facial approach can also be adapted to be pregnancy appropriate where suitable.
Please let Christina know when booking so your treatment can be planned accordingly.
Your First Appointment
What Should I Expect?
If you are new to Christina Bethany Clinic, your appointment begins by understanding your skin.
Christina will talk to you about how your skin has been behaving, what products you currently use and whether there is anything in particular you would like to improve.
She can then determine which facial approach is most appropriate for you.
There is no expectation that you arrive knowing exactly what to book.
If you have more complex concerns or would benefit from a broader treatment plan, Christina may recommend beginning with a dedicated consultation instead.
Enhance Your Facial With AQUAGOLD®
A Customised Skin-Boosting Addition
AQUAGOLD® can be incorporated into suitable Skin Architecture™ treatments to deliver a personalised blend of skin-supporting ingredients directly into the skin.
Using ultra-fine microchannels, AQUAGOLD® allows Christina to tailor the treatment according to your skin’s needs and goals.
It may be recommended to help support:
- Hydration and radiance
- Skin texture and smoothness
- Fine lines
- Enlarged pores
- Overall skin quality
The treatment is minimally invasive, with little to no downtime for most clients, making it an ideal addition when you want to elevate your facial and support a fresher, more refined complexion.
A Facial That Can Change With Your Skin
Your skin is affected by more than the products you put on it.
Season, stress, travel, hormones, lifestyle and your wider treatment routine can all change what it needs.
That is why Christina’s facial approach is deliberately flexible.
An appointment focused on hydration today may look different from the treatment your skin benefits from later in the year.
The goal is not to repeatedly perform the same facial.
It is to keep listening to your skin.
How Often Should I Have an Advanced Facial?
Christina’s existing facial programmes typically involve around 3–6 treatments, although the right frequency will depend on your individual skin and what you would like to achieve.
Some clients may benefit from a short course, while others choose to incorporate advanced facials into their regular skin maintenance.
If you are combining facials with treatments such as SkinPen, chemical peels, Morpheus8 or other advanced procedures, Christina can also help plan the timing of your appointments so each treatment has its place.
Before Your Facial
There is generally no specific preparation required before an advanced facial.
If you are using active skincare products, have recently undergone another treatment or are experiencing unusual sensitivity or irritation, please let Christina know before your appointment.
It is also useful to have details of your current skincare routine available, particularly if you would like advice on caring for your skin between appointments.
After Your Facial
Christina’s signature facials are designed with little to no downtime, although your individual experience will depend on the elements included within your treatment.
You will receive any relevant aftercare advice before leaving the clinic, alongside skincare recommendations where appropriate.
Your skin journey does not need to end once you step outside the treatment room. If regular professional care would benefit you, Christina can also recommend when to return.
