A new London wellness centre comes with serious tech
Le Petit Saint is a place where innovative tools and techniques are framed in artistic flourish
Fitted with a blush-pink door, a neoclassical townhouse on Charles Street, Mayfair, is the London pied-à-terre of Dr Joseph Hkeik. In his native Sydney, the Australian cosmetic physician founded his All Saint Clinic in 1999; in London, his recently opened site goes by the name Le Petit Saint. It’s a place where innovative tools and techniques are framed in artistic flourish, including light fixtures by designer Lee Broom and Vivienne Westwood rugs. But, aside from consultations with Dr Hkeik, who will travel between his clinics during the coming months, it’s Le Petit Saint’s on-site facilities that are worth booking in for.
A menu of non-invasive facials includes treatments using advanced Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology (SUPERB™) to stimulate collagen production, the EmFace with sculpting synchronised radiofrequency, or LED light therapy.
For the Saint Rexonage Quantum Lift, the clinic’s team uses the Rexonage, designed to interact with the skin’s stem cells using Quantum Molecular Resonance technology. Non-invasive, the treatment is said to increase dermal thickness.
IV therapy – such as the Longevity Experience IV, which combines the coenzyme NAD+ (widely discussed as a tool to rejuvenate cells) with essential nutrients – forms part of the boutique clinic’s whole-body wellness offering, which also includes Hyperbaric Hydroxy Therapy, experienced via a 30-minute lie-down in the clinic’s own cylindrical device. Promised benefits include skin rejuvenation, a reduction of inflammation and a boost of energy. Elsewhere, a 20-minute catnap in one of two Energy Pods is soundtracked to content mixed to match the three key phases of a short sleep cycle.
