Born on a single treatment bed in James’ first clinic back in 2010, the Signature Dermal Therapy Treatment is the one that started it all. It blends skin science, hands-on therapy, and thoughtful care in one personalised session, tailored to support your skin’s needs on the day. It’s a foundational offering within the James Vivian suite and continues to be a popular choice for clients seeking customised, results-focused care.
This fully customisable treatment may be suitable for a wide range of skin types and experience levels. It is often recommended as a starting point for clients exploring dermal therapies for the first time, particularly where a gentler approach is preferred. For more experienced clients, it can be tailored with advanced inclusions to support progressively deeper outcomes, depending on individual needs.
This treatment has no known contraindications.
Your clinician will still review your skin history during consultation to ensure suitability
Guided by your consultation and skin analysis, your clinician will tailor a combination of techniques, including exfoliation, extractions, light therapy, a targeted chemical peel, and a curated blend of masks and corrective serums, to suit your skin’s unique concerns and goals. Additional technologies may be included or recommended to enhance results.
Each phase of the treatment brings a different sensation. Cleansing feels thorough yet gentle. Peels may cause some mild tingling or heat. Light and laser components can create warmth and a sense of stimulation. Your clinician will guide you through each step to ensure comfort and understanding throughout.
No specific precare is required for this treatment.
Your clinician may recommend topical adjustments depending on your current routine
For the first five days post-treatment, or until all post-treatment skin reactions have fully settled, it’s important to support your skin with the following care:
Use only a gentle cleanser morning and night.
Apply a moisturiser or your prescribed post-treatment product as directed.
Avoid direct sun exposure. When outdoors, wear a broad-brimmed hat and apply (and reapply) SPF 50 sunscreen throughout the day.
Refrain from vigorous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, or any heat-based wellness treatments for at least 48 hours.
Following these guidelines will help optimise your results and support a smooth recovery.
Downtime typically lasts five to seven days, depending on the treatment area. During this time, you may experience:
Mild shedding from the peel.
Temporary scabbing at extraction sites, if performed.
These will be discussed with you before treatment. Your clinician will follow up after your first session, and we encourage you to contact the clinic if you experience any responses that are outside of the expected range.
Results, downtime and treatment response will vary from person to person.
To address specific concerns, we recommend two to three treatments at two– to six–week intervals, followed by a review. Your clinician will adjust the plan to suit your skin’s needs and response.

Ongoing treatments may be recommended every four to twelve weeks, depending on your goals and skin condition. This timing will be discussed and reviewed at each visit.
In addition to not proceeding with a Signature Dermal Therapy Treatment, alternative treatments may include traditional facials, microdermabrasion, HydraFacial, chemical peels, extraction-focused treatments, or topical therapies. Your clinician will guide you toward the option best aligned with your goals and what this procedure can reasonably achieve.
