A longer, hands-on facial — cleanse, extraction, mask and massage — sequenced for your skin rather than run the same way for everyone.
The Premium Facial is our extended, hands-on facial — a full cleanse, steam and extraction, a mask chosen for what your skin needs that day, and enough time for the massage to actually do something.
Most of what makes a facial worth the appointment happens in the steps a shorter one skips. Extraction taken slowly rather than rushed. A mask picked at the visit rather than fixed on a menu. Massage with enough time behind it to ease tension in the jaw and shoulders, not just the face. None of that needs a device — it needs time, and that is what this facial is built around.
It sits alongside our device-led facials rather than competing with them. Hydrafacial uses vortex-based suction for cleansing and infusion; the Premium Facial is hands-on throughout. Which one suits you on a given visit is worth a quick word with your therapist rather than picked blind — some skin responds better to manual work, some to the device, and often the honest answer is to alternate.
Warm steam softens the surface and loosens debris, so the extraction that follows is more effective and less abrasive.
Congestion and blackheads are cleared manually rather than left to a generic scrub, which is where a rushed facial usually falls short.
Calming, clarifying or hydrating — picked for how your skin looks and feels that day, not fixed in advance.
Assessed, planned and supervised in clinic — never sold from a menu.
A full cleanse, steam, extraction, mask and massage — not a shortened version of one.
The mask and pressure are chosen for your skin that day, not run the same way every time.
Enough time behind it to ease facial and shoulder tension, not a token few minutes.
You leave looking calmer and go straight back to your day.
Many patients keep this as a monthly reset alongside anything more targeted.
For pigmentation, texture or laxity, we will point you at the treatment built for that instead.
Skin renewal — results shown are from Dermatonik's skin-renewal protocols and may reflect a combination of treatments.
Photographs shared with patient consent. Individual results vary; your clinician will set honest expectations at consultation.
Dr. Saeema Shiraaz or your therapist checks your skin and asks what you want out of the visit — a reset, or ongoing maintenance alongside another treatment — and adjusts the plan for the day.
What is appropriate, in what order, and what it will cost is set out before anything begins. You will be told plainly if something is not going to help you.
Cleanse, steam, hand extraction, a mask chosen for your skin, then facial massage. Most of the appointment is spent on extraction and massage, not rushed through either.
Aftercare is explained before you leave, and we review how your skin has responded before deciding the next step.
Dr. Saeema Shiraaz — cosmetologist, and the reason patients stay. Every treatment plan at Dermatonik is built around her judgement, not a sales target.
Every protocol is planned and supervised by Dr. Saeema Shiraaz — no junior staff experimenting on your skin.
We recommend what works for your skin, not whatever's trending — and we'll say so if a treatment isn't right for you.
Honest timelines, real costs, and no pressure to buy packages you don't need.
I book this the same way other people book a massage. My skin looks better, but honestly I go back for how relaxed I feel afterwards.

How patients use it
What patients usually ask before their first visit.
Hydrafacial cleanses and infuses using vortex-based suction technology. The Premium Facial does the same broad job by hand — cleanse, extraction, mask, massage — with more time spent on manual extraction and massage. Neither replaces the other; which suits you can vary visit to visit.
It supports general skin health and clears congestion, but active acne or pigmentation are better addressed by a dedicated protocol. We will tell you honestly at the visit if that is what your skin needs instead.
Monthly suits most people as a maintenance routine, though it works well as a one-off before an event too. There is no fixed schedule — it is adjusted to how your skin looks.
Most patients describe mild discomfort rather than pain, and steam beforehand makes it easier. Tell your therapist if an area is sensitive and the pressure is adjusted.
Yes, though skin is often slightly flushed for an hour or two, so many patients prefer to let it settle first if timing allows.
Active infection, open breakouts in a widespread area, or skin currently reacting to another treatment. Tell us what else you have had recently and we will plan around it.
Tell us a little about what you'd like to address. Dr. Saeema Shiraaz will review your message and the team will confirm a time that works for you.
