Japanese head spa
If you watch beauty content on TikTok, you’ll probably have seen head spas in action. These viral treatments focus solely on your head, hair, neck, and shoulders, which are steps similar to those you would ordinarily expect from a massage or facial. This could include masks, oils, steam and scalp massages, plus the most famous part: a halo of water jets that slowly moves back and forth over your head. Benefits include a deep cleanse and nourishing of the scalp and hair as well as a state of relaxation.
Laura, a beauty and wellness editor, says, “I can’t begin to tell you how blissful this was, and my hair and scalp felt the cleanest, softest, and healthiest it has had in a long time. One of the best spa treatments I’ve ever had was the combination of the zen-like setting, the expert touch, and the attention to detail.
Price: £150 for 120 minutes at The Head Spa Manchester
Profhilo Structura
For 2025 we’re seeing a movement away from filler, with people keen to focus more on regenerative treatments. Skin boosters and peptide-packed injectables are going to be big, and so is the new Profhilo Structura – a dense hyaluronic acid that helps to support the layer of fat under the skin. It’s great for restoring and boosting fat cells, making the skin look more plump and youthful. Think of the results as an anti-Ozempic face.
I’m a big fan of the original Profhilo, and Zoe, head of beauty and fashion, says, “My skin looks incredibly dewy and plump. You need two sessions spaced a month apart, and then your results will last 6-9 months. Additionally, a cannula allows for less bruising and stinging, and the formula is delivered via a cannula.
Price: From £695. At the London-based Doctors Tatiana + Rishi Advanced Aesthetics Clinic, Zoe tried it.
Intimate wellness
Em Femme 360 is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment that improves vaginal tightness, sexual function and symptoms of urinary incontinence. The treatment uses a probe both internally and externally to strengthen muscles, according to Emma Wedgwood, a medical aesthetic nurse who specializes in intimate wellness and non-invasive treatments. The process causes increased blood flow to the target tissue, which encourages the body to regenerate the tissue. Although it’s beneficial for both pregnant and postpartum women, younger women also experience urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction. It’s a real game-changer”.
Zoe says: “I haven’t tried this personally, but I have a colleague who has, and I think it’s so important to talk about since many of us struggle with urinary or sexual issues as we age. I’m assured the treatment is quick to perform, gives a warming sensation but without any pain, and the results, after three treatments spaced a week or so apart, are excellent”.
Price: Em Femme 360 with Emma Wedgwood at Self London’s 14 Harley Street Clinic, price upon consultation. Here, you can see Emma’s full range of aesthetic treatments.
Préime DermaFacial
I’ve been using Shark’s CryoGlow LED Face Mask for three months, and these are the results.

Dubbed ‘ the most advanced aesthetic facial in the world’, this new machine combines five smart non-invasive treatments in one to deliver optimum skin results: a deep-cleansing vacuum nozzle, microdermabrasion with LED and CO2, muscle-toning microcurrent, collagen-boosting radio frequency, and ultrasound.
Laura says: “Completely painless and without any downtime, Préime DermaFacial delivered the best instant results I’ve had from a facial that doesn’t involve needles or vigorous facial massage – my skin looked brighter, healthier and more sculpted. If you’re a fan of a Hydrafacial, this goes above and beyond.”
Price: From £100. Laura tried it at Smart Dental &, Aesthetics in London.
Aura 3D imaging system
If you’ve ever had skin treatments at a prestigious clinic, your session might have begun with a face analysis using a “camera,” which measures features unobservable to the human eye like pigmentation, dehydration, and redness. The most recent and most cutting-edge treatment regimen, utilizing multiple cameras and AI technology, allows you and your doctor to prescribe the most effective treatment plan.
Laura describes The Aura as “the quickest and most comfortable skin analysis I’ve ever had.” It is done in a second, with no twisting your neck into awkward positions. The image that came out is also the most realistic image I’ve ever seen, and it made it very clear what my face might have to improve with professional treatments and what I’m actually doing okay with. I’m thrilled it doesn’t hand out a depressing ‘ skin age ‘ too, unlike a lot of these scanners”.
Price: Part of your consultation. Laura tried it at the London Illuminate Skin Clinic.
V-Light hair extensions
V-Light extensions is the 2025 treatment you’ve been waiting for if you like the idea of hair extensions but haven’t yet found a way to wear them. Virtually invisible against your scalp, lightweight and comfortable, these tiny hair bonds – applied using a bonding agent that’s cured with UV light – can be used to give the illusion of more hair on areas like the crown, nape, sides and fridges. Maintenance is needed every 8-10 weeks.
Zoe says: “I’m a long-time tape-in extensions wearer but my hair technician convinced me to try V-Light extensions. They’re really good for people with fine hair, like I do, who have trouble letting tapes from the top of my hair show through after a few weeks. I still have tapes in my head, but I really enjoy putting my fingers through my fringe areas while avoiding undetectable bonds.
Price: From £190. At The Extensionist Hair Extensions Salon in London, Zoe tried them.
Sylfirm X
The newest form of microneedling, this treatment is precise and gentle on the skin. It’s also currently the only FDA-approved form of RF (radio frequency) microneedling proven to treat melasma and rosacea, as well as offering skin-tightening results. Its new dual-wave technology means in just a few sessions, you can improve skin elasticity and scarring, and it’s also effective on stretch marks.
Editorial commercial content director Michelle says: “I was recommended three sessions, 3-4 weeks apart. Numbing cream was applied so it didn’t hurt, but there was a slight pain in a few spots, such as under the eyes. After the first session, my chin started to bleed profusely, and a few days later, it started to bleed in spots. But after the second, I wasn’t as red and had no breakouts, I managed to completely relax and found it rather therapeutic. I’ve had some sun damage fade and I’m seeing a noticeable improvement after three sessions.
Price: From £350. At Omniere, Michele tried it with Dr. Vincent Wong.
Polynucleotide injections
An emerging 2024 trend that was continuing to grow in 2025 was polynucleotides, which are long chains of nucleotides frequently produced from salmon DNA. They help increase collagen production and skin quality because DNA messengers in the injectable solution cause the fibroblast cells in your dermis to produce more collagen and elastin, increase hydration, and promote collagen production.
Zoe says, “I first tested out polynucleotides under my eyes, and they worked so well to reduce fine lines and hollowing that I’m now using them to treat other areas of my face.” My skin looks more plump than it did when I used filler to cover my marionette lines after having them around my jawline and mouth to turn back the clock on some early jowls.
Price: From £550. At Doctors Tatiana + Rishi Clinic, Zoe tried it.
Follicle-stimulating vitamin treatments
You’ve heard of microneedling for your skin, but have you heard of it for brows and your hairline? In an effort to activate and stimulate hair follicles, vitamin treatments that combine nutrient-packed oils with a medical grade microneedling device are used. This is ideal for those who have over-plucked brows or age-related hair thinning.
Zoe describes her efforts to find a long-term, affordable solution that increases density as someone with fine hair and very sparse brows. These vitamin-infused microneedling sessions are quick and painless, and I come away feeling like I’ve had a good pamper. For best results you’ll need a minimum of four sessions, booked one month apart, and then upkeep appointments throughout the year”.
Price: From £80 per session. At Nez Hasan in London, Zoe tried it.
DIY devices
Three stylish new beauty products to enhance your home routine…
Foreo FAQ 301 LED Hair Strengthening Scalp Massager, £289
Zoe says: “This uses red LED light and T-Sonic massage to strengthen thinning, lifeless strands by stimulating the scalp and revitalising follicles. It’s specifically designed to work with liquid hair treatments, and I’ve been loving it as a home booster in between my in-clinic scalp microneedling”.
CurrentBodyLED Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 2, £399
Laura says: “One of my New Year’s resolutions was to use an LED mask consistently, and I’m pleased to say I’m already sticking to it with CurrentBody’s new-and-improved design, which fits much better around the face and emits a greater range of collagen-boosting LED wavelengths”.
Ziip Halo, from £379
Laura says: “Hollywood’s favourite face-sculpting tool is fast becoming popular amongst non-celeb shoppers too, with sets and bundles now availabe. One of the few beauty products I’ve tried that “snatchs the jawline and puffs around the eyes” is what causes the jawline to fall off instantly.
Currentbody Skin RF Microneedling Device, £349
This treatment, according to Zoe, combines radiofrequency (RF) technology with microneedling to rejuvenate the skin. RF energy heats the deeper layers of the skin to tighten and address concerns like wrinkles and sagging, while microneedling uses tiny needles to stimulate collagen and improve skin texture. When I first received it in a clinic, I was shocked to discover that it resembled a very similar device. My skin already appears and feels more plump than usual after only two home treatments, which are best after two months of consistent use.
