Face Place

This chic, all-white clinic has been polishing the complexions of Hollywood stars since 1972. But don’t go along expecting an old-fashioned cleanse, tone and moisturise: its Signature Facial is a punchy, results-driven regime that guarantees to leave skin gleaming. The extractions are thorough, the products (such as vitamin C-soaked strips of gauze) hard-working – but the pièce de -résistance is a S&M-style leather ‘mask’ which emits a galvanic current to firm the skin.
