Clearer, healthier skin, treated properly

A good facial should do more than feel nice for an hour. At Cannelle Skin Clinic in Summertown, Oxford, every treatment is matched to your skin and your goal rather than applied to a fixed menu. Our doctor and skin therapists assess your skin first, so the right peel, device or facial does far more than a one-size-fits-all routine. For deeper laxity and lines, our laser and skin-tightening treatments work alongside these facials.

Because each treatment does a different job, choosing well matters as much as the facial itself. HydraFacial deep-cleanses and hydrates in one session, ZO and medical-grade chemical peels reset tone and texture, and microneedling rebuilds collagen for scarring and pores. CACI lifts and tones without surgery, and our medical-grade ZO skincare range keeps results going at home. The table below shows how each treatment compares, so you can find the one that fits the change you want to see.

Which treatment, concern by concern

Every plan starts with a complimentary VISIA skin analysis, a scan that maps sun damage, pigmentation and hydration beneath the surface, so your practitioner recommends the right treatment rather than guessing.

These treatments are not interchangeable, and they work in different ways. If your skin looks dull, tired or congested, a HydraFacial deep-cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates in one session for an instant glow. For uneven tone, texture or acne-prone skin, ZO and medical-grade chemical peels resurface to brighten and clear breakouts, with a HydraFacial in between to keep pores refined. When scarring, enlarged pores or fine lines are the concern, microneedling with SkinPen rebuilds collagen to smooth the skin.

If firmness is slipping and your jawline is softening, CACI uses micro-current to lift and tone without surgery. A scalp that feels stressed or is thinning responds to HydraFacial Keravive, which cleanses and nourishes the follicles. When you are not sure which route fits, we begin with a VISIA skin analysis that maps your skin and matches your plan. Our team often combines two treatments for the fullest result.

Why patients choose Cannelle Skin Clinic

Real skin health comes from the right treatment, the right products and a properly planned course. That is the standard our team holds to at every appointment, in a calm, discreet clinic in the heart of Summertown.

  • Doctor-led, skin-therapist delivered. Our doctor and skin therapists assess your skin first, so every facial and peel is planned by a medical professional, not a salon protocol.

From consultation to aftercare

Knowing what to expect makes the whole experience easier. From your first skin analysis to your follow-up review, every step at Cannelle is considered and unhurried. To see what happens at each stage, open the steps below.

Consultation and VISIA skin analysis

Our team reviews your skin history and concerns, and a complimentary VISIA scan maps what is happening beneath the surface to guide your plan.

Planning your treatment

We agree the right facial, peel or device, the number of sessions and any home skincare, then confirm a clear price before anything begins.

The treatment

Your practitioner works through each step of the chosen treatment at a relaxing pace. Most appointments take 30 to 60 minutes with no downtime.

As your results settle

HydraFacial gives an immediate glow, while peels and microneedling reveal brighter, smoother skin over the following days and weeks.

Review and maintenance

Once your course is complete, we review your results together and plan any maintenance, since healthy skin is kept up with regular facials and good home care.

Not sure which facial or peel is right for you?

Book a skin consultation in Oxford and our team will recommend the right treatment, the right course and the right home skincare. There is never any pressure to decide on the day.

How much do facials, peels and skin treatments cost in Oxford?

At Cannelle Skin Clinic, prices depend on the treatment. CACI starts from £50, chemical peels from £85, HydraFacial from £140, HydraFacial Keravive from £225 and microneedling from £230. A VISIA skin analysis is complimentary with a skin consultation. Because many treatments work best as a course, our team confirms an itemised price before anything begins. You can also view our full price list.

What is the difference between a HydraFacial, a chemical peel and microneedling?

They do different jobs. A HydraFacial deep-cleanses and hydrates for an instant glow, while chemical peels resurface to reset tone, texture and acne-prone skin. When scarring, pores or fine lines are the concern, microneedling rebuilds collagen instead. Because the right choice depends on your skin, our team advises at consultation.

Which facial or peel is right for me?

Matching the treatment to your concern

It depends on your concern. HydraFacial suits dull or congested skin, chemical peels suit uneven tone and acne, microneedling suits scarring and pores, and CACI suits a softening jawline. Because the right choice is rarely obvious from the outside, we begin with a VISIA skin analysis before recommending one.

What are ZO peels and your medical skincare range?

ZO Skin Health is a medical-grade brand we use for in-clinic peels and prescribe for home use. Our chemical peel menu includes ZO and other medical-grade options, chosen to suit your skin. You can also explore the full ZO skincare range to keep your results going between appointments.

Can a CACI facial really lift the jawline without surgery?

Yes, gently and gradually. CACI uses micro-current to tone the facial muscles, which lifts and firms a softening jawline and jowls over a course. It is a popular non-surgical jowl lift, and it is best maintained with regular sessions rather than a single treatment.

Is there any downtime?

Downtime is minimal for most treatments. A deeper peel or microneedling can leave mild redness for a day or two, while HydraFacial and CACI leave you glowing straight away. Your practitioner will give you simple aftercare to follow at home.

How long until I see results, and how long do they last?

It varies by treatment. HydraFacial shows a fresher glow the same day, while peels and microneedling reveal brighter, smoother skin over the following days and weeks. Results are then kept up with regular facials and good home skincare, especially as skin naturally ages.

Who performs the treatment?

Doctor-led and therapist-delivered

Every facial and peel at Cannelle is planned under the care of our doctor, Dr Mattia Parducci (GMC: 7635663), and delivered by our trained skin therapists. Your skin is assessed and treated by a medical team, not a salon protocol.

Do you treat patients from outside Oxford?

Yes. We welcome patients from across Oxfordshire, including Summertown, Headington, Witney, Bicester, Kidlington and Abingdon. Because we are based in Summertown, north Oxford, we are an easy trip for patients travelling in from the surrounding towns.
