Achieve calm, balanced and hydrated skin with our Bespoke Recovery Treatments
At Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates, our Bespoke Recovery Booster Treatment is a gentle yet effective post-procedural facial designed to support skin through its recovery process. Pregnancy-safe and suitable for all skin types, it brings the skin back to a calm, balanced, hydrated state with zero downtime.
What is the Bespoke Recovery Booster Facial Treatment?
The Bespoke Recovery Booster Facial Treatment is a restorative in-clinic treatment designed to accelerate skin healing (especially after more intensive aesthetic procedures).
Following gentle cleansing and exfoliation, a pharmaceutical-grade serum rich in natural growth factors, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans is applied to the skin.
This is complemented by Dermalux LED Light Therapy to calm inflammation, restore hydration and encourage cellular renewal.

From in-clinic treatment to aftercare guidance, each step is thoughtfully structured to support your skin’s natural healing process, with your comfort and results at the forefront.

What’s included in the Bespoke Recovery Booster Facial Treatment?
At Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates, the Bespoke Recovery Booster Facial Treatment combines a targeted cleansing phase with the added benefit of Dermalux LED Light Therapy, creating a comprehensive in-clinic experience tailored to your skin’s specific needs.
Every session includes:
- Cleansing and gentle exfoliation to prepare the skin and remove impurities.
- Application of a pharmaceutical-grade serum containing a high concentration of natural growth factors, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans to support healing and cellular renewal.
- Dermalux LED Light Therapy using red, blue and near-infrared wavelengths to calm inflammation, reduce redness, combat bacteria and stimulate deep tissue repair.
- SPF application to protect and preserve results post-treatment.
Your Skincare Specialist will guide you through a recommended aftercare regimen to support your skin’s healing and maintain results between sessions.
Book your consultation or learn more about Dermalux LED Light Therapy to find out how this treatment can support your skin.
How does the cleansing recovery phase work?
The cleansing phase is built around the science of skin absorption.
Gentle exfoliation removes the superficial barrier of dead skin cells, allowing the pharmaceutical-grade serum to penetrate more effectively than standard skincare products.
The serum’s active ingredients work at a cellular level.
Proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans are naturally occurring molecules found in the skin’s extracellular matrix, responsible for retaining moisture, maintaining structural integrity and supporting the collagen-rich environment in which skin cells regenerate.
Pharmaceutical-grade growth factors further signal the skin to stimulate collagen production and accelerate its own repair processes, making this phase particularly effective for post-procedural recovery.
Book your consultation to find out how the cleansing phase can support your skin.
How does LED Light Therapy work in our Bespoke Recovery Booster?
LED Light Therapy works by delivering specific wavelengths of light energy directly into the skin, where it is absorbed by cells and used to stimulate and regulate essential biological processes.
This process, known as photobiomodulation, energises the mitochondria in skin cells, thereby increasing their ability to produce energy and function optimally.
As a result, skin cells can renew up to 200% faster, accelerating repair, regeneration, and control of inflammation.
The Bespoke Recovery Booster Facial Treatment uses three clinically proven wavelengths:
- Red light to reduce redness, regulate oil production and improve circulation;
- Blue light for its powerful antibacterial properties to target acne and inflammatory conditions;
- And near-infrared light, the most deeply absorbed wavelength, to improve elasticity, smooth fine lines and reduce inflammation at a deeper tissue level.

Who is the ideal candidate for a Bespoke Recovery Booster Treatment?
The Bespoke Recovery Booster Facial Treatment is suited to individuals whose skin requires additional healing and support, whether following a procedure or as a result of an active skin concern.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Are recovering from a recent aesthetic or skin treatment and require additional support to calm and restore the skin.
- Experience dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin; fine lines and wrinkles; acne breakouts; or inflammatory skin conditions such as rosacea.
- Are pregnant and seeking a safe, effective in-clinic facial to address concerns such as melasma or general skin sensitivity.
- Are in good general health with no open wounds, active infections or contraindications to LED Light Therapy in the treatment area.
A thorough consultation with your Skincare Specialist will determine the most suitable protocol for your skin type, concerns and goals.

How long does it take to see results from a Bespoke Recovery Booster Facial Treatment?

Is the Bespoke Recovery Booster Facial Treatment safe?
The Bespoke Recovery Booster Facial Treatment is a safe, non-invasive in-clinic procedure with no downtime, suitable for all skin types, and explicitly approved for use during pregnancy.
The treatment uses pharmaceutical-grade growth factors, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans, naturally occurring biological molecules that work in harmony with the skin’s own healing processes rather than introducing foreign substances, thereby minimising the risk of adverse reactions.
Dermalux LED Light Therapy is a clinically proven, non-invasive technology with a well-established safety profile, used widely in medical and aesthetic settings to treat a range of skin conditions without causing irritation or disruption to the skin.
Side effects are rare and typically mild, with some clients experiencing temporary redness immediately following treatment that resolves shortly after. All treatments are performed by qualified Skincare Specialists in a safe, medical environment, following carefully structured protocols to ensure your comfort and safety throughout.
