Facial add-ons: which enhancement fits your appointment?

Choose between LED light therapy for the face or hands and two massage enhancements for a more personal facial visit.

Choose your main facial first

A facial already gives you time to pause and enjoy considered skincare. An add-on is simply a way to spend a little longer on something that appeals to you. Start with the Ella Baché or La Mer facial that suits your day, then decide whether you would enjoy focused light therapy or more time to unwind.

Our menu keeps that decision simple: LED light therapy for the face, LED light therapy for the hands, head, neck and shoulder massage, or hand and foot massage. Each is a separate option. You can choose one, combine the extras that interest you, or enjoy your facial exactly as it is.

If you are still deciding between the main treatments, our guides to Ella Baché facials and La Mer facials are a good place to begin.

LED light therapy: face or hands?

Facial LED is a dedicated light treatment alongside your skincare ritual. Your therapist will discuss your skin, any relevant sensitivities and the programme before you settle back for the session. It adds a different type of care rather than another layer of cream or a longer massage.

Hand LED gives the backs of your hands their own light session. The face and hand options are listed separately, so you can choose the area you want to focus on. Each has 30 minutes reserved for light therapy. If you want both, the team can explain how they will fit around your facial and the equipment available.

Tell us about medication or a condition that makes you sensitive to light, and any recent skin treatments, before choosing LED. Your consultation helps the therapist decide whether it belongs in your appointment. You can also ask what the selected programme is intended to do and whether a course of visits would be more appropriate than a single session.

When you want a little more time to unwind

Head, neck and shoulder massage adds twenty minutes of gentle attention across the scalp, neck and shoulders. It is a lovely choice if relaxation is the part of your facial you look forward to most. Tell the therapist how you like the pressure, and let yourself settle into the extra time.

Hand and foot massage shares twenty minutes between both areas. It can feel particularly welcome after a busy day on your feet or when you would simply enjoy care from fingertips to toes. This is massage time, so shaping, cuticle preparation, polish and full hand or foot spa treatments are separate services.

If you want a full hand or foot ritual alongside your facial, explore our spa manicures and pedicures instead. Booking the right combination gives each treatment the time it needs.

What is already included?

The eye care and any lip finishing care listed in your La Mer ritual are part of that facial. They are not additional paid enhancements. The massage add-ons extend your appointment beyond the massage already described in your main treatment.

You can find all four choices, with their current prices and times, on our facial add-ons page. Choose what you would enjoy, and ask us if you would like help fitting it into your visit.
