Peptide Facial
What Is a Peptide Facial?
The Anti-Ageing Facial That Works at the Cellular Level
Ian’s Peptide Facial at Faceit by Ian in Walton-on-Thames is a sophisticated, multi-technology anti-ageing treatment that combines three distinct therapeutic approaches in a single session — each addressing a different mechanism of skin ageing simultaneously.
Where most facials work only on the skin’s surface, the Peptide Facial targets the skin at multiple levels: the muscular structure beneath (via microcurrent), the dermal collagen layer (via peptide infusion), and the cellular DNA integrity (via ferulic acid). The result is a genuinely comprehensive anti-ageing treatment that firms, lifts, resurfaces and replenishes in a single, completely comfortable and downtime-free session.
Visible results are achieved from the very first session clients typically leave with measurably firmer, more lifted and more radiant skin. The treatment is recommended as a monthly maintenance facial for sustained anti-ageing benefits and Ian recommends following up with Ekseption repair cream for enhanced results between sessions.
Peptides & K-Beauty
Why Peptides Are the Foundation of Korean Anti-Ageing Skincare
In Korean skincare philosophy which consistently produces the most clinically impressive anti-ageing results of any skincare tradition worldwide peptides occupy a foundational position. While Western skincare focused for decades on retinoids and acids, Korean anti-ageing skincare embraced peptides early as the most sophisticated way to communicate with skin cells rather than simply acting on them.
The result of this K-beauty emphasis on cellular signalling using peptides, growth factors, niacinamide and ceramides to support the skin’s own repair and renewal processes is the globally recognised Korean skincare for glowing skin effect: skin that genuinely looks younger because it has been supported at a cellular level, not simply treated at the surface.
Ian’s Peptide Facial embodies this K-beauty philosophy in a professional clinic setting — delivering peptide actives at clinical concentrations not achievable through retail products, combined with the microcurrent and ferulic acid technologies that amplify their effectiveness. For clients building a Korean skincare routine in Surrey, this professional peptide facial is the ideal clinical complement to an at-home regime.

Your Treatment
What Happens During Your Peptide Facial?
Cleanse & Prepare
Ian thoroughly cleanses the skin and applies the conductive cosmetic gel that allows the microcurrent device to glide smoothly and deliver optimal electrical stimulation throughout the treatment.
Microcurrent Lifting
The microcurrent device is moved over the face in precise, targeted patterns following the natural lines of the facial musculature. Low-level currents stimulate muscles, increase ATP and prime skin for maximum peptide absorption in the following phases.
Ferulic Peptide Peel
The ferulic acid peptide peel is applied to the cleansed skin gently resurfacing, brightening and delivering ferulic acid's DNA repair antioxidants alongside active peptides into the freshly prepared skin.
Peptide Infusion & Finish
Concentrated peptides are infused into the skin, followed by the application of Ekseption repair cream and finishing products. Ian provides personalised aftercare advice and product recommendations. You leave with visibly firmer, more radiant and lifted skin.
Peptide Facial - Frequently Asked Questions
The treatment is completely comfortable throughout. The microcurrent device produces a gentle, barely perceptible tingling sensation. The ferulic peel may produce a mild, brief warmth. The peptide infusion phase is deeply relaxing. There is no pain, no heat and no discomfort at any stage – most clients find the full treatment thoroughly enjoyable.
A regular anti-ageing facial typically applies active products to the skin’s surface. Ian’s Peptide Facial uses three specific technologies — microcurrent to lift facial muscles, ferulic acid to repair cellular DNA damage, and clinical-concentration peptides to signal collagen production that work at a fundamentally deeper level than surface application. The results are correspondingly more visible and more lasting.
Absolutely. Peptide facials are equally effective for male skin — which ages through the same collagen loss and muscle weakening processes as female skin. Ian treats male clients across his full range of facial treatments and tailors the approach to each client’s individual skin type, concerns and goals.
Yes — the Peptide Facial is an excellent pre-event treatment. With no downtime and immediate visible results, clients typically see their skin looking its firmest, brightest and most lifted on the day of treatment. Ian recommends having the treatment 2–5 days before a major event to allow any very minor temporary dryness to fully resolve.

WHAT IAN’S CLIENTS SAY
All I can say is that if I could give Ian 10 stars, I absolutely would. He isn't just thorough - he's friendly, kind and genuinely cares about his clients, and for me, that says it all. Ive had several treatments with him, and I'll keep going back because I trust him 100%.
I have recently had my first experience of facials offered by Faceit by Ian and was highly impressed. Firstly, Ian was very welcoming, extremely knowledgeable on the treatments he offers and takes his time to listen to your specific needs and then tailors the facial to your individual requirements. I was very relaxed and felt in excellent hands and I can’t rave enough about the incredible results. I have already booked my next appointment and can not recommend him enough.
I've been seeing lan for several years for various treatments and he is just amazing. He's got so much knowledge around skin and how to treat different skin types and I am always super interested in his top tips as well as constant new treatments that he offers. He is obsessed with skin and so am I. I always walk away feeling and looking so much better and a visit to lan is like a visit to a spa with the lovely and relaxing ambiance he creates. Thank you as always for looking after me and my skin.
I feel like Ian literally gave me every single technique and treatment there is out there! What a professional and his attention to details is incredible. Thank you for giving me my best, most healthy glowing skin! I'll be back soon!
