Strictly Professional: Clinical-Grade British Skincare
Professional Heritage
Strictly Professional is a renowned British skincare brand developed exclusively for professional use in salons, spas, and clinics. Founded on scientific research and clinical testing, the brand has earned the trust of thousands of qualified therapists across the UK for its consistent results and high-quality ingredients.
Unlike retail skincare, Strictly Professional formulations contain pharmaceutical-grade active ingredients in higher concentrations, delivering superior results that simply aren't available in over-the-counter products. The range is only available to qualified professionals, ensuring expert application and personalized treatment protocols.
Scientific Formulation
Every Strictly Professional product is developed by cosmetic chemists and dermatologists using evidence-based research. The formulations incorporate clinical-strength actives including salicylic acid, glycolic acid, niacinamide, and advanced peptides. Each ingredient is selected for proven efficacy and combined in precise ratios to maximize results while maintaining skin safety.
This scientific approach ensures consistent, measurable improvements with every treatment. The brand undergoes rigorous testing and quality control, making it suitable for even the most demanding professional environments.
Why We Chose Strictly Professional for Problem Skin
When researching professional-grade skincare for our salon, I needed a brand that could effectively address stubborn skin concerns like acne, congestion, and uneven texture - problems that often don't respond well to gentler treatments or retail products. Strictly Professional stood out immediately for its clinical approach and proven track record with problem skin.
What convinced me to invest in Strictly Professional was the brand's commitment to results-driven skincare. Many salon brands prioritize relaxation and pampering over therapeutic efficacy, but Strictly Professional takes a different approach. The formulations use clinical-strength actives at concentrations proven to create measurable change. This means clients with genuine skin concerns - not just those seeking maintenance - can see real improvements. The science-backed approach resonated with my belief that professional skincare should deliver visible, lasting results.
I also appreciated the brand's comprehensive professional training program. Before offering Strictly Professional treatments, our therapists completed extensive training on ingredient science, skin analysis, and customization protocols. This education ensures we understand not just what products to use, but why and how to adjust formulations for individual skin types and concerns. The ongoing professional support gives me confidence that every Strictly Professional facial at Mesmerising Beauty delivers expert care.
Finally, the British heritage matters. As a UK-based brand, Strictly Professional understands the unique challenges our clients face - from Newcastle's harsh winter weather to the specific concerns common in British skin types. The formulations work beautifully in our climate and address the real-world skin issues our clients experience daily. The combination of clinical efficacy, professional-only availability, and local expertise makes Strictly Professional the ideal choice for clients seeking serious skincare solutions.
Clinical Benefits & Active Ingredients
Deep Pore Purification with Salicylic Acid
Professional-strength salicylic acid (BHA) penetrates deep into pores, dissolving sebum buildup and dead skin cells that cause congestion and breakouts. This oil-soluble active ingredient is particularly effective for acne-prone skin, working within the follicle to prevent future blemishes while clearing existing congestion. The result is visibly refined pores, reduced blackheads, and clearer, smoother skin texture.
Cellular Renewal with Glycolic Acid
Clinical-grade glycolic acid (AHA) accelerates cellular turnover, dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells to reveal fresh, radiant skin beneath. This powerful alpha-hydroxy acid improves skin texture, fades hyperpigmentation, and stimulates collagen production for firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Regular treatments progressively improve uneven skin tone, fine lines, and overall skin quality.
Pore Refinement with Niacinamide
High-concentration niacinamide (Vitamin B3) regulates sebum production, minimizes pore appearance, and strengthens the skin barrier. This multi-functional active reduces inflammation, fades post-acne marks, and improves overall skin resilience. Niacinamide also enhances the effectiveness of other actives, making it an essential component of professional-grade formulations.
Hydration & Barrier Support
Despite its clinical strength, Strictly Professional treatments maintain optimal hydration with hyaluronic acid and ceramides. These ingredients ensure your skin barrier remains intact while undergoing active treatment, preventing the dryness and irritation often associated with strong skincare actives. The result is effective treatment without compromising skin health or comfort.
Specific Skin Concerns We Address
Acne & Breakouts
Clinical-strength salicylic acid and antibacterial actives target acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and prevent future breakouts while clearing existing blemishes.

Enlarged Pores
Deep cleansing actives combined with pore-refining niacinamide minimize pore appearance, reduce congestion, and create a refined, smooth skin surface.
Hyperpigmentation
Glycolic acid and brightening actives fade dark spots, post-acne marks, and uneven tone, revealing clearer, more luminous skin with continued treatments.
Congestion & Blackheads
Oil-soluble salicylic acid penetrates follicles to dissolve sebum plugs, clearing blackheads and preventing new congestion from forming.
Dull Complexion
Exfoliating actives remove dead surface cells, boost cellular renewal, and reveal fresh, radiant skin with improved clarity and luminosity.

Essential Clinical Aftercare
⏰Immediate Post-Treatment (24 hours)
Your skin is sensitized from clinical-strength actives and requires gentle care. Avoid makeup for 4-6 hours if possible. Don't touch your face excessively. Use only the gentle products we recommend - no actives, exfoliants, or retinoids. Your skin may appear slightly pink, which is normal and will fade within hours.
☀️Sun Protection is Critical
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 50+ every morning without exception. Clinical exfoliation increases UV sensitivity significantly. Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors. Sun exposure without protection can reverse treatment benefits and cause hyperpigmentation. Wear protective clothing and seek shade during peak UV hours.
💧Intensive Hydration Protocol
Clinical actives can temporarily dehydrate skin. Apply a barrier-supporting moisturizer morning and evening containing ceramides, hyaluronic acid, or niacinamide. Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily. Use a humidifier if air is dry. Avoid hot water - use lukewarm for face washing to prevent further barrier disruption.
🚫Avoid These for 48-72 Hours
No additional exfoliants, retinoids, vitamin C, or acids - your skin has received intensive professional exfoliation. Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga, vigorous exercise causing heavy sweating. Skip swimming in chlorinated or salt water. Don't have any other facial treatments or procedures until skin fully recovers.
🔄Ongoing Homecare Routine
After 48 hours, gradually reintroduce active ingredients as advised. Use gentle, pH-balanced cleansers twice daily. Apply targeted treatments addressing your specific concerns. Maintain consistent SPF use. We'll recommend Strictly Professional homecare products that complement and extend your treatment results between salon visits.
📅Treatment Schedule for Best Results
For active concerns, begin with 4-6 weekly treatments to gain control, then maintain with monthly facials. Your skin needs time between treatments to regenerate and respond to active ingredients. Consistency is crucial - sporadic treatments won't deliver optimal results. Book your next appointment before leaving to maintain treatment momentum.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Strictly Professional facials different from regular facials in Gosforth?
Strictly Professional is a clinical-grade skincare brand used exclusively by trained professionals. Unlike regular facials, Strictly Professional treatments use pharmaceutical-quality active ingredients in higher concentrations for measurable results. The formulations are scientifically developed to target specific skin concerns like acne, uneven texture, and congestion. Each product in the range is designed to work synergistically, providing professional-level results that you can't achieve with over-the-counter products.
Is the Strictly Professional facial suitable for sensitive or problem skin?
Yes, despite its clinical strength, Strictly Professional offers formulations suitable for various skin types including sensitive skin. However, this facial is particularly excellent for problem skin, acne-prone complexions, and uneven texture. During your consultation at our salon, our therapist will assess your skin sensitivity and customize the treatment accordingly. We can adjust product selection and application techniques to ensure effective results without causing irritation.
What active ingredients are used in Strictly Professional facials?
Strictly Professional facials incorporate professional-grade active ingredients including salicylic acid for deep pore cleansing and exfoliation, glycolic acid for cellular renewal, niacinamide for pore refinement and oil control, hyaluronic acid for hydration, and vitamin-rich botanical extracts for antioxidant protection. These clinical formulations are significantly more concentrated than retail products, delivering superior results. Your therapist will explain which actives are being used during your treatment and how they benefit your specific skin concerns.
How often should I have Strictly Professional facials for best results?
For optimal results, we recommend Strictly Professional facials every 4-6 weeks for problem skin or active concerns. This frequency allows your skin to complete its natural renewal cycle while maintaining improvement momentum. For maintenance after achieving your skin goals, monthly treatments are ideal. During your consultation at our salon, we'll create a personalized treatment plan based on your skin condition and goals. Many clients notice visible improvements after just one session, with progressive enhancement over a treatment course.
Can I wear makeup immediately after a Strictly Professional facial?
We recommend allowing your skin to breathe for at least 4-6 hours after your Strictly Professional facial to maximize the benefits of the active ingredients. However, if necessary, you can apply mineral makeup after 2-3 hours. Your skin will be sensitized from the clinical-strength actives, so it's best to avoid heavy foundation. We'll provide specific aftercare instructions, including recommended products and what to avoid for 24-48 hours post-treatment to ensure optimal results.
