How Shane Cooper’s personalised approach to skincare is transforming beauty treatments

With a loyal clientele that includes celebrities such as model Cara Delevingne, singer Sabrina Carpenter, and actors Sienna Miller and Hannah Waddingham, all seeking his red carpet-ready treatments and long-lasting noninvasive techniques, you might expect the London space of Shane Cooper to look as high-tech as his equipment. Instead, his warm and personal ethos is established from the moment you step into his first-floor mews address in stylish South Kensington.

The key to Shane’s success is the combination of incredible knowledge and welcoming approach. His treatments are personalised to each customer’s needs and skin – starting from an initial assessment conducted in part via official questionnaire and part through a welcome natter with Shane’s partner and business partner, Craig. The expansive treatment room is richly decorated with artwork, plants and various objets d’art, comfortingly lit and comfortably outfitted. There is no rush to appointments, no hustling from one room to another. The result is an immediate sense of ease and exclusivity.

The Shane Cooper treatments are, in many ways, redefining the landscape of aesthetic procedures. At a time where the Botox boom still reigns supreme, and aesthetic beauty so often involves either the needle or knife, it is rare to find a clinic that focuses purely on non-invasive – yet still scientifically-led and innovative – techniques.With more than 18 technologies at his fingertips, Shane is adaptable to his clients’ skin on the day. His A-List Facial, for example, combines different machines and techniques – from muscle-toning micro-currents; tri-polar radio frequency to stimulate collagen production; oxygen therapy; ultrasound infusion to deliver active ingredients deeply into the skin; lymphatic drainage to detoxify and reduce puffiness; and LED light therapy to promote repair.

To tone and tighten, Shane’s contouring treatments make use of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (known as HIFU) alongside radio frequency to reach multiple layers of tissue with no surgery and no downtime. His Gold Lift Treatment targets scars, stretch marks and loose skin by combining warming radio frequency with precise micro-needling to stimulate the skin’s natural healing response and trigger deep tissue regeneration via collagen and elastin production.At the heart of Shane’s Bio-Hacking Facial – designed to restore skin integrity, reduce inflammation and delay the signs of ageing at a cellular level – the skin’s natural repair mechanisms are supported to regenerate cells and preserve the length of telomeres, which play a vital role in cellular ageing via use of a Pulse Triggered Laser, the only system of its kind in the world.

The results can vary, depending on the level and consistency of treatment, but even a single session achieves a noticeable glow and return to healthier skin, no matter the inconsistencies of London weather or demands of the social calendar. But it’s not just your skin that feels the impact of Shane’s personalised approach to skincare.

One of his driving factors is the wellness of his clients – he began his career in mental health and substance misuse, and his knowledge about internal wellbeing shines through in conversation as much as his passion for skincare. If you enjoy conversation through your facial, you can expect to journey through skin health, nutrition, science and mindfulness as you are pampered by a true expert. It’s no surprise that his clients return time and again, or that his success thus far has been through word of mouth. Clients begin their session feeling seen and heard, and leave feeling rejuvenated and energised in body and mind.What’s more, his latest Exosome Facial treatment, developed using advanced Korean stem cell science and designed to repair, hydrate, and rejuvenate is becoming increasingly popular with clients for both event readiness and long-term skin health. His own skincare product range offers the same combination of science-led results and pure indulgence, from his hyaluronic boosting serum and collagen firming cream to his hyaluronic mist (a pre-make up must for special events) and award-winning oxygenation mask (as satisfying to use as it is effective), his products are gentle, opulent and impactful.

With state-of-the-art technology at his fingertips and a real understanding of his clients’ individual needs and goals, Shane Cooper’s treatments are setting the bar for how we approach skincare.
