KICHI BABY FACE: LASER FACIAL
Collagen-stimulating laser treatment for brighter, smoother skin.
Transform your skin with our most famous "baby laser" resurfacing facial, coined the "Cult Facial" by Harper's Bazaar. Powered by Lutronic Lase Md Ultra, It actively increases cellular renewal to combat ageing, targeting sun damage and pink acne scarring. Its skin-changing results come from our innovative, 100% risk-free laser, which is suitable for all skin types and creates dermis-level induction for 90% absorbency of its targeted serums.
Reduce the appearance of wrinkles, tighten pores, and even out your complexion for skin that looks fresher and more youthful in just one session, with the added benefit of the Baby Face Glow lasts for up to 8 weeks.
TREATMENT DETAILS
Suitability
Suitable for all skin types, including dry and sensitive skin. Laser settings are carefully adjusted to suit each client’s skin tone, sensitivity and desired outcome, with resurfacing depths ranging from level 5–20.
Consultation
A separate skin consultation is not required before booking the Baby Face laser facial, as the treatment is suitable for all skin types and fully customised during your appointment.
If you would like personalised advice beforehand, you can send a photo of your skin via WhatsApp for guidance from a KICHI Expert. We also offer a £20 video consultation online, which is fully redeemable against your treatment.
Duration
45–60 minutes, including a 20-minute numbing cream application.
Additional Benefits
Complimentary Therabody Recovery Boots and LED session included. Please ask your KICHI Expert.
SENSATION
- This laser treatment feels surprisingly comfortable, comparable to a mild sunburn. After 20 minutes of numbing under infrared light, the skin is fully desensitized. The laser application itself takes just 5 minutes.
- Please note: Thullium laser does not require eye protection, we work up to the eye line with the laser. The bean shown in the image is not the laser but a guide light for the therapist.
PRE-TREATMENT
Pre-Care: Before You Visit
Good to know:
Suitable for all skin types, with energy levels and settings customised to your individual needs.
Treatment results peak on day 10, so please book at least 10 days before an event.
We recommend preparing your skin with the right serum for 48 hours before and one month after treatment. With 90 percent absorbency through open microchannels, the right product elevates results by up to 50 percent.
Recommended serums to prepare:
For ageing, glow, and general skin health:** Vitamin C serum twice daily for 48 hours before treatment, then continue once daily for one month after.
For acne scarring,inflammatory hyperpigmentation, melasma, or rosacea. Tranexamic acid serum twice daily for 48 hours before treatment, then continue once daily for one month after.
We recommend Mesoestetic Melan Tran3X Intensive Depigmentation Concentrate.
Please avoid:
- Prescription retinoids 5 days before treatment.
- Chemical exfoliants 3 days before treatment.
- Harsh chemical peels 1 month before treatment.
- Injectables 2 weeks before treatment.
- Sun-tanning or self-tanner 1 week before treatment.
POST TREATMENT
Post-Care: The Flawless Facial
For the next 24 hours:
- Avoid wearing foundation for 24 hours. The microchannels are open post-treatment — keeping skin clean maximises results and avoids irritation.
- Avoid swimming, excessive exercise, saunas, and steam rooms for 24 hours.
- Apply a vitamin C serum twice daily for the first 48 hours to elevate and enhance your results.
- For acne scarring and PIH: Apply a Tranexamic acid serum twice daily for the first 48 hours, then once daily ongoing. We recommend the Mesoestetic Melan Tran3X Intensive Depigmentation Concentrate.
For the next 7 days:
- Avoid chemical exfoliants, including AHAs and BHAs, for 7 days.
- Avoid self-tanner for 7 days.
- Focus on hydration. We recommend KICHI Forever Oil, Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream (normal to dry skin), or Tatcha Water Cream (acne-prone skin).
For the next 14 days:
- Avoid direct sun exposure and use SPF 30 or higher daily. There's no need to stay indoors — we simply advise against deliberately sun-tanning the face.
- Avoid injectable treatments for two weeks.
For the next month:
- Avoid chemical peels for one month and laser treatments for two weeks.
Downtime and what to expect:
- The Flawless Facial has little to no downtime. Most clients leave the clinic with light redness that subsides quickly. At higher resurfacing levels, redness may last up to 24 hours.
- Sensitive skin types, including Rosacea, may experience redness the day after treatment. We adjust settings accordingly for these skin types.
- Your skin may feel dry and develop a subtle sandpaper texture for 5–7 days. This is completely normal and invisible to others — you can go about your normal routine.
- A laser purge is normal for acne-prone skin — this is a natural self-cleansing process that results in clearer skin over time.
- Around day 10, your skin will gently and invisibly shed, revealing a fresh, glowing complexion beneath.
- For best results, we recommend a course of 6 treatments, available at a saving on individual session rates. View our skin courses here.
- PIH correction requires a minimum of 6 sessions, with a noticeable improvement after each one. We also recommend adding a Salmon DNA Booster to further support pigmentation removal.
Please note: The Flawless Facial is a bespoke treatment designed to cater to your unique needs and preferences.
Courses of three include a 15% saving, while courses of six include a 20% saving.

FAQs
Who is this treatment suitable for?
The Baby Face treatment uses a non-ablative fractional Thulium laser that is suitable for all skin types and skin tones, including darker Fitzpatrick skin types. It can be performed on clients from their early twenties through to more mature skin, helping to improve pigmentation, texture, collagen production and overall skin quality.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most clients find the treatment very comfortable. A numbing cream is applied for around 25 minutes before the procedure, and a cooling device is used throughout to keep the skin calm. The laser application itself takes only a few minutes and most clients describe the sensation as similar to mild sunburn.
Is there any downtime?
The Baby Face laser is a non-ablative fractional treatment, so downtime is minimal. Skin may appear slightly pink for a few hours after treatment, but most clients return to normal activities the same day.
How many treatments are recommended?
You will notice brighter, smoother skin after a single treatment, making it ideal for an occasional glow-up. For optimal and longer-lasting results we usually recommend a course of six treatments. Clients treating acne or pigmentation may have sessions every 2–4 weeks, while those focusing on collagen stimulation, glow and anti-ageing typically have treatments once a month. For ongoing collagen maintenance, a treatment every 1–3 months is recommended.
