In the discreet, polished setting of DRMR Clinic, the Aqua Facial presents itself as a treatment grounded in precision and results. It is a facial that leans into technology, while still delivering the level of care one expects from a clinic of this calibre.
At its core is the Our Signature DRMR Face Clean. DRMR AQUA is a 3-in-1 system that combines water peeling with sequential acids, microdermabrasion and transdermal delivery. The structure is deliberate, ensuring that each stage prepares the skin for the next and that active ingredients are absorbed effectively.
The treatment starts with Suck It Out, a water-based peel using a progression of mandelic, salicylic and glycolic acids, paired with vacuum extraction. Mandelic acid, with its larger molecular structure, works at the surface to refine texture and is well suited to more sensitive skin. Salicylic acid follows, penetrating the pores to dissolve oil and reduce congestion, making it effective for blackheads and breakouts. Glycolic acid completes the sequence, encouraging cell turnover and improving brightness and tone. The vacuum element removes impurities as the acids work, leaving the skin clearer and more even without any sense of dryness.
Next comes Hydrate. An infuser handpiece delivers hyaluronic acid and targeted serums into the skin. This stage restores moisture levels and supports the skin barrier, improving suppleness and leaving the complexion smoother and more balanced.
The Diamond Bit follows, using a diamond-grain handpiece to exfoliate and refine. This non-invasive microdermabrasion works across the surface to improve texture and support elasticity, creating a more even, polished finish.
The final stage, The Champagne Bit, focuses on deeper regeneration. Radio frequency is used to oxygenate the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production within the dermis. The result is improved firmness and a more defined
appearance over time, alongside an immediate lift in radiance.
What sets the Aqua Facial apart is its structure. Each stage has a clear function, and the treatment builds with purpose rather than excess. The result is skin that appears clearer, brighter and more refined, with improvements that extend beyond the immediate post-treatment glow. A week after my Aqua Facial, which I experienced with Chris, I am still getting compliments on the luminosity of my complexion.
This is a facial for those who prioritise efficacy. It delivers visible results with consistency and control, entirely in keeping with its Knightsbridge setting.
