Préime DermaFacial Edinburgh: Lift, Firm & Glow

Some days your skin needs a deep cleanse. Other days it needs lifting, firming or a serious dose of hydration. The Préime DermaFacial at DRVICTORIA™ in Edinburgh is the facial that adapts: six medical-grade technologies in one treatment, tailored on the day to what your skin needs right now.

Unlike standard hydro-facials that only exfoliate and hydrate, Préime can integrate microcurrent, radiofrequency (RF) and ultrasound to help tone facial muscles, support your skin's natural collagen and improve serum absorption, so you walk out looking fresh, lifted and glowing, with minimal to no downtime.

Minimal to no downtime: back to your day immediately
Fully customisable: tailored to your skin's needs on the day
Needle-free: an effective alternative to microneedling

How It Works: 6 Powerful Technologies

Préime, combined with the Dermalux, offers six steps for the ultimate facial, or mix and match for a targeted approach.

AquaB (The Hydro-Extraction)

A powerful vortex hydro-extraction gently removes impurities, make-up residue, and dead skin cells while infusing the skin with hydrating fluids for a deep cleanse.

Best for: Unclogging pores and creating clearer looking skin.
(Feels broadly similar to Hydrafacial)

VibroX (The Oxygen Boost)

Mechanical microdermabrasion to exfoliate and polish your skin with CO₂ based gel that encourages the "Bohr Effect", a physiological response where higher CO₂ levels promote your blood to release oxygen into surrounding tissues. This revives dull skin and supports a fresher, brighter-looking complexion.

Best for: Brightening, smoothing and evening skin tone.
(Feels broadly similar to microdermabrasion)

MicroT (The Natural Lift)

Bipolar microcurrent is used to tone facial muscles to help your face look more lifted and contoured.

Best for: Contouring around the eyes and jawline.
(Feels broadly similar to CACI and Face Gym)

Collagen+ (The Natural Plump)

Radiofrequency gently warms the deeper skin layers to support the skin's natural collagen and elastin over time, helping skin look firmer and plumper.

Best for: Firming and plumping the cheeks and jawline.
(Feels broadly similar to Exilis)

UltraB (Ultrasound Infusion)

Ultrasound energy temporarily opens micro-channels in the skin to improve the absorption of either exosome or polynucleotide regenerative serums into the upper layers where they can work most effectively.

Best for: Maximising the effectiveness of active serums.
(No-needle alternative to microneedling)

Dermalux (The Calming Light)

The facial ends with Dermalux® Tri-Wave phototherapy - Red, Blue, and Near-Infrared light to leave skin feeling calm and comfortable after the active steps, while you relax.

Best for: Calming the look of redness and inflammation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Préime hurt?

No. The treatment is non-invasive and generally described as very relaxing. You may feel a gentle warmth during the Radiofrequency step or a slight tingling during the Microcurrent step, but it is not painful.

Does Préime have downtime?

For most people - none. Most return to their daily activities immediately. Your skin will look fresh, dewy, and lifted right after the treatment.

If your skin is very sensitive your skin may appear pink or slightly red, but this should resolve in 24 hours.

How many Préime sessions do I need?

You'll see glowing, fresher-looking skin immediately after a single facial, perfect as a pick-me-up or before an event.

The lifted, toned look from microcurrent is temporary at first and builds with repetition, while the firming effects of radiofrequency develop gradually over weeks as the skin responds. For longer-term results, we recommend a course of at least 3 facials spaced 4 weeks apart, followed by regular maintenance. Your aesthetician will suggest a plan based on your skin and goals.

How should I prepare for Préime?

Préime needs little preparation, please remove make-up on arrival to help maximise your treatment time. Pause strong actives (retinol, exfoliating acids) for 48 hours beforehand if your skin is sensitive, and avoid laser, IPL or peels on the area in the week before.

Afterwards, keep skin hydrated, apply SPF 50+ daily, and hold off on strong actives and intense heat (saunas, hot yoga) for 24 hours. That's it - no flaking, no hiding indoors.

Is Préime good for reducing pigmentation or thread veins?

For pronounced hyperpigmentation patches and thread veins we would recommend laser and IPL treatments as a more effective solution.

Is Préime good for reducing melasma?

For pronounced melasma we recommend a course of Microchannel Exosome Facials as the most effective option.

Préime® or Hydrafacial® — which is right for you?

Choose Préime® if:

You want more than a cleanse-and-glow such as lifting, firming, muscle toning or serum infusion. Préime's RF, microcurrent and ultrasound steps go beyond what a hydro-facial alone can do, making it the stronger choice for ageing skin, laxity and skin-quality goals.

Choose Hydrafacial® if:

Your priority is a budget friendly, fast, deep cleansing, extraction and hydration with a same-day glow or you have sensitive skin seeking gentle peels with redness booster serums.

Which Préime is right for you?

All options include the Dermalux® finish.

Choose Préime Clarity if:

Your skin feels congested, oily or dull. AquaB deep-cleanses and VibroX polishes and brightens. The ideal reset for clogged pores and uneven skin tone.

Choose Préime Sculpt if:

Lifting and firming are your priority. AquaB cleanses, then MicroT tones facial muscles and Collagen+ firms for a more contoured, sculpted look around the cheeks, eyes and jawline.

Choose Préime Radiance if:

You want glow plus a targeted boost. AquaB and VibroX brighten and smooth, then you and your aesthetician choose lifting (MicroT) or firming (Collagen+) based on what your skin needs that day.

Choose Préime Renew if:

You want visible skin-quality results over time. Cleansing, lifting and firming are combined with an ultrasound infusion of exosome or polynucleotide serum for deeper skin support.

Choose Préime Ultimate if:

You want it all - the complete six-step experience. Deep cleanse, oxygen polish, muscle toning, firming and serum infusion in one appointment. The full reset before a big event, or the strongest start to a skin programme.

Still unsure? Start with a skin analysis and we'll recommend the right option for your skin and goals.

You’re in Control

Your skin isn’t the same every day, so your facial doesn’t need to be either. With Préime, you and your aesthetician can tailor your treatment on the day, so it matches what your skin needs right now.

As long as your choices fit within the service options and appointment time you’ve booked, we can flex the treatment steps. That might mean spending longer on the parts you’ll benefit from most - extra time on exfoliation, or swapping toning for plumping - and reducing or removing other steps to keep everything comfortably and on time within your session.

It’s a simple approach: you bring your goal, we bring the clinical know-how and together we build the best version of your Préime facial for that day.
