Cátia Dias | Dermal Therapist in Porto, Matosinhos | Fresha

This bespoke treatment has been thoughtfully designed to deliver both visible skin results and deep relaxation. 

The experience begins with a deeply relaxing neck, shoulder and décolletage massage to help release built-up tension and set a therapeutic, restorative tone for the treatment. A double cleanse follows, starting with a rich cleansing balm paired with facial cupping and sculpting massage techniques to stimulate lymphatic drainage.

Then follows Hydradermabrasion (also known as 'hydrafacial')  — a vortex-based technology that delivers gentle exfoliation to refine skin texture and support natural renewal.

A soothing mask is then applied and the experience transitions into a meditative state of calm, where a second neck, shoulder and décolletage massage is performed as the body and mind unwind, bringing the experience to a close in a place of true serenity and renewal.

· Ideal for: dull or dehydrated skin, congested pores (such as sebaceous filaments, blackheads...).

The Glass Skin Facial

Where skin needling meets restorative wellness. This treatment combines clinical precision with a deeply therapeutic experience.

Skin needling is a regenerative treatment that supports the integrity of the extracellular matrix and strengthens the skin’s barrier. By stimulating cellular activity and fibroblast function, it encourages the production and organisation of collagen and elastin fibres, preserving the structural framework that ensures healthy, resilient skin.

The treatment begins with a deeply relaxing double cleanse, setting a serene and calm tone for the treatment ahead. The needling process is then meticulously executed using an active serum, tailored to your individual skin concerns and goals. A soothing mask is applied to calm redness and inflammation, while SKIIN’s signature massage promotes deeply therapeutic relaxation — a moment where the body unwinds and the mind slows down.

· Ideal for: skin ageing, skin texture, enlarged pores, acne scars, hyperpigmentation.

The Collagen Induction Facial

This facial offers a clinical and innovative approach for optimal skin renewal and firmness. 

The experience begins with a deeply relaxing neck, shoulder and décolletage massage to help release built-up tension and set a therapeutic, restorative tone for the treatment. 

A luxurious double cleanse follows, elevated with facial cupping and sculpting massage techniques to stimulate circulation, encourage lymphatic drainage and gently define the facial structure.

The treatment continues with Radiofrequency therapy, which uses electromagnetic waves to heat the skin, targeting both the epidermis and deeper dermal layers. This heat stimulates collagen production, enhancing skin firmness and elasticity.

To conclude, the treatment shifts into a calming meditative state. Deeply nourishing and hydrating products are infused into the skin as the body and mind unwind, bringing the experience to a close in a place of true serenity and renewal.

· Ideal for: dull skin, loose or ageing skin.

The Lifting Facial

This treatment uses clinically formulated peels to gently encourage cellular renewal and improve overall skin tone, texture and quality.
Designed to refine the skin without aggressive exfoliation or significant downtime, these carefully selected formulations work in a controlled and considered way to support healthy cell turnover while maintaining skin integrity.

Each peel is selected on the day according to your skin concerns and long-term goals. Depending on your needs, the formulation may focus on pigmentation, acne-prone skin or overall skin health — addressing concerns such as uneven tone, congestion, fine lines, wrinkles or dullness, while supporting stronger, healthier-looking skin.

The treatment includes a luxurious double cleanse, a customised peel application, a soothing mask and a therapeutic massage designed to release tension and help regulate the nervous system.

· Ideal for: inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne, skin texture, hyperpigmentation.
