Lumin fusion. A facial worth falling for ❤️
Most skincare lovers have heard of the world renowned brand Dermalogica, but have many of you heard of Lumin Fusion? This is one of Dermalogica’s newest skin treatments. So new in fact that in Leeds alone, to date, we at Haven are the only skincare centre to offer this prestigious facial other than Harvey Nichols in Leeds city centre!
This game changing facial uses a special blend of active products alongside innovative equipment which is new to industry to create a skin treatment like no other. It’s very relaxing and includes a targeted brightening under eye treatment, shoulder massage & hand and arm massage to relieve tension.
So why is it so different compared with our other facials on the menu?
A targeted peel (with retinol/hydroxy acids) to exfoliate dead skin cells and renew texture.
Nano fusion: Uses a special pen to create micro-channels, driving potent actives deep into the skin for maximum absorption.
LED Red Light Therapy: Applied to boost collagen, calm skin, and restore radiance.
Dermal Layering: Application of prescribed serums and products.
The results are…
* Instant Glow: Immediate radiance and brightness.
* Improved Texture & Tone: Smoother skin, reduced dullness, and minimized fine lines.
* Deep Hydration: Plumps skin with infused active ingredients.
* No Downtime: Suitable for busy schedules and events like weddings.
There is certainly a lot packed into this facial and the results are seen immediately after just one treatment. Similar to after a course of alternative peel treatments but with no redness, peeling or sensitivity that can be associated with these other methods of resurfacing the skin so deeply.
Our clients have genuinely been ‘ wowed ‘ looking at their skin after the treatment, commenting on how it’s taken years off!!
Book yours this February and choose a free manicure treatment!

CACI Vs RF
Over the last few years we have seen a huge increase in demand for our results driven non surgical skin lifting and tightening treatments.
Do we have Zoom meetings to thank for this? Making us more aware of how our skin looks at those slightly unflattering angles on camera!
Or possibly, fed up of injections, wanting a more natural approach to line reduction?
Here at Haven our two main systems include the CACI and Collagen lift Radio Frequency. Otherwise known as RF.
So what’s the difference you ask? Which works better? The answer is every skin concern is different, for everyone. Both treatments work to achieve anti aging benefits, improving skin health and overall appearance. But in totally different ways.
CACI uses micro current which penetrates through the skin, all the way to the facial muscles. Working to physically tone and strengthen the muscle tissue, which redefines facial contours and tightens up the skin. Great for lifting the jawline and defining cheek bones. Perfect solution for drooping eyelids & brows.
This muscle tightness can be felt and seen just after 1 treatment! A course of 10 is recommended for the best and long lasting results. See it as a regular gym class work out for your face!
What’s more, micro current is also excellent for healing and rejuvenating the skin tissue. Making a CACI multitasking dream machine, tackling uneven skin tone, scarring & open pores to name a few.
Now onto RF. This system is also a powerhouse for tackling aging skin concerns. Via a ceramic wand, the Radio Frequency current heats the lower layers of the skins dermis. This generates a healing reaction within the skin. Causing the elastin fibres to re align and increase hydration levels. This creates an instant tightening & plumping effect! Perfect for areas of loss of elasticity, where we can see areas which have become slightly crepey. This makes RF an excellent choice for the neck area and jowl.
Over time RF stimulates natural collagen synthesis. The action within the skin that enables collagen cells to multiply. Which is essential for younger looking skin.
So, CACI or RF? One works the muscle, the other the skin. So both! We often combine both these amazing systems into one super anti ageing facial. Clients see brilliant results, hence the abundance of return clientele we have for these treatments.
Which treatment and areas we can treat for you are decided during a consultation.
We look forward to helping you achieve your skin goals, let the journey begin!
Thanks for reading.

Ease Your Pregnancy Stress with a Massage
Pregnancy is a beautiful process revered for bringing life into the world, but the stress it can bring upon a person physically and mentally can also at times be difficult to struggle with.
Massages are proven to be a therapeutic option for any individual to turn to for stress relief, but it can be especially helpful to ease some of the stress that accompanies pregnancy. Pregnancy massages offer beneficial effects for pregnant women who are struggling with all kinds of symptoms ranging from those that are physical, to psychological, and it is because of this that it is an option worth considering.
Pregnancy massages can range from those using a light touch, to full-body Swedish massages that can target a variety of modalities to make sure you’re getting the kind of comfort and treatment you need.
One substantial benefit of massages that is relevant to pregnancy is their ability to help regulate hormones that have the potential to fluctuate throughout a woman’s pregnancy. The use of massage techniques that specifically work to regulate hormones such as those associated with stress and relaxation, like serotonin and norepinephrine, are a key benefit in a woman’s prenatal care.
Beneficial changes and management of hormones can also help prevent any complications during and after the birthing process. Because prenatal massages can have a sedating effect on the nervous system, it helps better prepare the mother for delivery. Therefore, incorporation of massage therapy during pregnancy can be immensely beneficial to both the mother and the newborn.
Other potential physical benefits include:
- Reduction in fluid retention and other swelling
- Eased backache
- Increased oxygen in the blood
- Relief from heartburn and acid reflux
- Eased leg cramps
- Relieved muscle tension and joint pains
- Healthy skin tone
- Improved circulation
- Strengthened immune system
Massages can also put your mind more at ease during the prenatal process by addressing the non-physical discomfort that can arise during pregnancy, such as anxiety, a disrupted sleep pattern, depression, and general elevated stress. Massages offer pregnant individuals a sense of well-being and provides an alleviation of discomfort that can make pregnancy feel significantly more endurable and serene.
At Haven Beauty, we have four different massage treatment options specifically offered for those in the any stage of pregnancy:
- By choosing our pregnancy massage, you will be pampered as you deserve, with a gentle touch to relieve tension, and will involve the utilisation of massage techniques specifically focusing on your feet, ankles, and back.
- Our pregnancy back massage pays close attention to the lower back, neck, and shoulders in order to relieve uncomfortable tension and aches.
- Haven Beauty’s special package no. 1 offers a full-body massage, as well as an eyebrow tint and Zen spa pedicure.
- Special package no. 2 includes a pregnancy back massage with a special express Dermalogica facial.
Women going through pregnancy deserve to feel comfortable, and we at Haven Beauty recognise and wish to honour their needs. We offer you proven benefits for pre- and post-natal massages that are safe and will leave you with a feeling of satisfaction as you walk out our door.
How Getting a Massage Can Improve Your Health
Getting a massage can be a fun and relaxing experience that will take some weight off of your shoulders and leave you feeling Zen. If you are considering getting a massage for the first time, or if you are contemplating scheduling a follow-up session, these proven health benefits of getting a massage may just ease you into calling to schedule your appointment.
Stress Relief
Studies have shown that even a half hour massage session can decrease cortisol levels in the body—the hormone associated with stress. When it comes to stress, your health is not only affected mentally but also physically when your blood pressure rises. Getting a massage has been proven to reduce blood pressure, therefore simultaneously improving your mental and physical health.
Improve flexibility
Your range of motion can be affected by many factors, including a sports injury, aging, lack of physical activity, an illness, or other causes. When you get a massage, your muscles relieve stress, causing an increase in blood flow that can improve flexibility. With regular massage therapy, you can increase your range of motion, as the mussels, tendons, joints, and connective tissues are massaged and stretched.
Reduce cellulite and increase blood flow
When your muscles release stress, they increase your blood flow and reduce blood pressure, allowing your body to speed up its lymphatic draining system. Targeting certain areas of the body during your massage sessions, such as your tummy, buttocks, and thighs can increase the blood circulation in these areas and reduce water retention.
A headache and migraine relief
Headaches and migraines are often caused by high-stress levels and lack of sleep. Getting a massage can release the tension you may feel related to your headache by targeting the muscles and joints of the head, neck, and shoulders. For example, the Indian head massage is especially recommended for individuals who suffer from chronic migraines or headaches, as it specifically soothes and releases pressure from the mussels in these areas.
Rehabilitation after an injury
Medical professionals often prescribe massage therapy for individuals who are undergoing physical rehabilitation after an injury. Massaging the muscles and joints in the injured area will not only increase blood flow and flexibility, but it will also supply key nutrients to the injured area. Getting a professional massage can also increase the elasticity of your muscles and tendons, allowing you to recuperate your range of motion.
Pain management and reduction for chronic conditions
Certain chronic conditions, unfortunately, result in muscle pains and aches. Getting a regular massage, however, can help you manage your pain for several chronic conditions including fibromyalgia and arthritis. Massage therapy does not only decrease muscle stiffness, but it has also been found to increase the levels of serotonin produced by the body—the hormone associated with happiness and pain-relief. Furthermore, a correlation between getting a massage and deep and regular sleep patterns has been observed, allowing patients to sleep more comfortably. Massage therapy is a natural and effective way to manage your pain, allowing you to experience an overall increased quality of life.
