Facial treatment with steam in a calm clinical setting

Skincare in Kungsholmen

Facials and skincare are Tota’s heart and speciality. As a certified skin therapist with several years of experience solving the skin’s real problems, from ageing and damaged skin to dryness, oiliness and congestion, she adapts every treatment entirely to your skin and your needs. At Tota Estetiska Klinik in Kungsholmen, Stockholm, you will find everything from classic deep-cleansing facials to advanced microneedling, chemical peels and LED light therapy, at prices from SEK 399. Below you will find all our treatments, and if you are unsure what your skin needs, we will help you choose.

Which facial suits my skin?

You do not need to be able to choose for yourself. We always do a skin analysis on the spot and adjust the treatment to what the skin actually needs that day. But if you want a direction before you book, here is the short route.

Acne and congestion
Blue LED Light Acne Facial for the bacteria, and Clean-Up Face as recurring deep cleansing in between.
Fine lines and wrinkles
Microneedling with EPN, bio microneedling or Microtox.
Dull and uneven skin tone
Vitamin C Facial for the glow, a chemical peel or OxyGeneo when the tone needs evening out in depth.
Pigmentation and sun damage
Chemical peel or bio microneedling, both as a course so they have time to make a real difference. How we work with pigmentation and dark spots.
Dry and dehydrated skin
Hydrafacial, which hydrates in the same movement as it cleanses.
Large pores and oily skin
Hydrafacial, bio microneedling or Microtox.
Sensitive skin
Classic Facial with products chosen for your skin, or our pregnancy-safe treatment, the mildest we have.
Pregnant or breastfeeding
Pregnancy-Safe Facial, entirely without electrical devices and with vegan products throughout.

If you are unsure, book the treatment that comes closest and say so when you arrive. We would rather change direction on the spot than do the wrong treatment.

If it is mainly the pores that bother you, we have written a separate piece on what a facial can actually do about pore size, and where the limit lies.

Classic Facial

A classic facial is a caring treatment that improves the appearance and texture of the skin with cleansing and exfoliating products matched to your skin type. It begins with deep cleansing using steam and a cleanser chosen for your skin, followed by extractions where blackheads and impurities are removed gently with an ultrasonic scrubber and hydrodermabrasion. A mask matched to your skin type then treats the surface concerns and locks in moisture. A light facial massage releases tension and stress while increasing blood and oxygen flow, before the treatment finishes with toner, serum and moisturiser.

The perfect foundation treatment for every skin type, and a good place to start if you have never had a facial before.

Clean-Up Face, deep cleansing at a very good price

A regular clean-up is decisive for a healthy, radiant complexion. The treatment clears away dead skin cells, dirt, excess oil and sweat, and keeps the skin hydrated for a long time afterwards. It includes deep cleansing with steam, a scrub and the removal of blackheads and whiteheads with an ultrasonic scrubber and hydrodermabrasion, before finishing with a calming mask, toner, serum and moisturiser.

In 45 minutes the skin gets a proper restart, and at SEK 399 this is one of the best-value deep cleanses in Stockholm. Perfect as recurring maintenance between the bigger treatments.

Quick Facial with facial waxing, two treatments in one

For you who want to make the most of the visit, this treatment combines a complete facial with facial waxing in the same booking. The skin gets a double cleanse, exfoliation, steam that opens the pores, serum with massage, toner, a mask and a hydrating finish, while unwanted facial hair is waxed away.

The result is smooth, clean and radiant skin where makeup sits perfectly, all in an hour. A smart choice before a party, a photo shoot, or simply a weekday when you want to feel entirely put together.

Vitamin C Facial, glow and protection for tired skin

A vitamin C treatment is a sequence of steps that cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate and nourish the skin, drawing on vitamin C’s documented ability to counter skin ageing and help the skin recover from sun, heat and weather. The treatment includes deep cleansing with steam, extractions with an ultrasonic scrubber and hydrodermabrasion, and a vitamin C gel mask that exfoliates with mild natural AHA acids from Nordic cloudberry vinegar and brings tired, dull skin back to life.

Then follows LED light therapy that repairs and rejuvenates damaged cells, with the light colour chosen for your skin’s needs, a light facial massage and a finish of toner, serum and moisturiser. The treatment for you who want the glow back.

Blue LED Light Acne Facial, light therapy for acne

Blue LED light kills acne bacteria on the skin, entirely without medication, needles or downtime. With us the light therapy is combined with a complete facial adapted for acne-prone skin, where cleansing, careful extractions and calming products work together with the light. If the congestion appears in more places than the face, our back treatment for acne is a good complement.

Pregnancy-Safe Facial, safe skincare while you are pregnant

Pregnancy changes the skin, and at the same time many treatments and ingredients suddenly become unsuitable. So we have put together a complete facial where every step and every product is chosen to be safe during pregnancy.

The treatment includes a personal skin consultation and analysis, gentle deep cleansing and makeup removal, mild exfoliation that can be left out for sensitive skin, a tailored warm and cold infusion of vegan serums, a soft lifting facial massage for firmness and glow with no electrical devices at all, face yoga with gua sha for lymphatic drainage, a relaxing acupressure scalp massage, a premium vegan mask, and a finish of Korean skincare steps with toner, serum, eye cream, face cream, sun protection and lip balm, all vegan.

A safe and luxurious moment for you and your skin, in the middle of everything new.

Hydrafacial, cleansing and hydration in one sweep

Hydrafacial cleanses, exfoliates, empties the pores and saturates the skin with nutrients, moisture and protection in a single treatment, using a fine jet of water instead of dry abrasion. Because the skin is never dried out it also suits skin that usually reacts to exfoliation, and it is one of our strongest choices against visible pores and dull skin. You see the result as you leave the clinic, and the effect builds over the days that follow.

OxyGeneo 3-in-1 Super Facial, oxygenation from within

OxyGeneo exfoliates with the benefits of microdermabrasion and combines that with deep nourishment and patented oxygenation of the skin from within, in three steps during the same session. Even after the first treatment the skin looks younger and fresher with new glow, and the treatment suits all skin types, sensitive skin included.

Microneedling EPN CLINIC PEN

The new generation of microneedling. Our pen works with EPN, electroporation, and that is what separates the treatment from ordinary microneedling: beyond the microchannels in the skin, the NCTF vitamin cocktail is carried all the way into the skin cells themselves.

You get two things at once, the skin’s own collagen building and maximum uptake of the nutrients we supply. The needle depth is set to your skin, superficially when it is about glow and deeper against scarring and lines.

Bio microneedling, entirely without needles

Bio microneedling, also called algneedling, does the same work as classic microneedling without a single needle touching the skin. Instead, microscopic sponge spicules are worked into the skin, creating around three million microchannels and setting the skin’s own production of collagen and elastin going.

We were among the first in Sweden with the treatment. It is used for acne scarring, pigmentation, pores, wrinkles and stretch marks, on the face as well as the body and scalp, entirely without blood, wounds or pain.

Growth Factor Treatment, skin rejuvenation with growth factors

Growth factors are the body’s own signalling proteins, the ones that tell the skin cells to renew, repair and build new collagen. Production of them falls away over the years, and that is a large part of why skin loses firmness and becomes slower to recover.

With AQ Recovery serum we supply them from the outside. The principle is the same as PRP, but the growth factors come from a finished professional serum rather than from your own blood, which means no blood draw and the same concentration every time. The treatment is done on its own or together with microneedling, which drives it deeper.

Chemical peel, renewal in depth

A chemical peel stimulates the skin’s collagen production, and collagen is what keeps the skin firm and springy. The treatment also helps lighten dark spots, treat acne scarring, reduce sun damage and bring dull, tired skin back to life.

A chemical peel is a safe treatment when performed correctly by someone who knows what they are doing, and with us the strength and the acid are always matched to your skin type and your goal. Expect the skin to flake lightly for a few days afterwards, that is the renewal at work, and after that a more even, brighter and healthier complexion comes through.

  • Chemical peel 50 min SEK 1,400

Microtox, a botox-like effect entirely without injections

Microtox, also called microbotox, gives that sought-after botox-like finish entirely without syringes and injections. A pre-dosed serum is worked superficially into the top layer of the skin with micro-stamping technique, and since it never reaches the muscle, the face keeps every one of its natural expressions. The result is refined skin texture, less visible pores and more even, matte skin, a favourite before events and photo shoots.

Preparation

Before your treatment

This is how you prepare for the best result, whichever facial you have booked.

  • Come without makeup if you can, otherwise we start with makeup removal
  • Avoid strong skincare such as retinol, AHA/BHA acids and exfoliating products 3 to 5 days before the treatment
  • Avoid sun and sunbeds in the week before, particularly ahead of a chemical peel, microneedling and OxyGeneo
  • Before microneedling and chemical peels: avoid blood-thinning medication and alcohol for 24 hours beforehand if possible
  • Tell us when booking if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and we will guide you to our pregnancy-safe treatment and adapt the product choices
  • Tell us about skin conditions, ongoing acne medication, allergies or recent injectable treatments
  • After the treatment: avoid sun, sauna, hard exercise and makeup for the rest of the day, and use sun protection over the following days, especially after a peel or microneedling
  • After microneedling and chemical peels the skin can be pink for one to two days and flake lightly, that is a normal part of the renewal

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about facials in Kungsholmen

Which facial should I choose?

It depends on your skin and your goal. For general freshening up and maintenance, a Classic Facial or Clean-Up works well. For acne and congestion, the Blue LED Facial and deep cleansing are the right route. If you want glow and anti-ageing, the Vitamin C Facial, Hydrafacial and OxyGeneo are strong choices, and for deeper skin renewal against scarring, pigmentation and lines, microneedling or a chemical peel is most effective. At your visit we always do a skin analysis and give an honest recommendation, you do not need to be able to choose yourself.

How often should I have a facial?

The skin renews itself in cycles of about four weeks, so a treatment every four to six weeks gives the best long-term result. Courses, such as bio microneedling, follow their own schedule with two weeks between sessions. Even a few treatments a year make a difference, and our prices are set precisely so that regularity is possible.

Does microneedling hurt, and how does the skin look afterwards?

Classic microneedling feels like a light scratching and is entirely manageable. The skin is pink for about a day afterwards, roughly like after a day in the sun. If you want to avoid needles altogether, bio microneedling (algneedling) is the alternative, creating the microchannels without needles, blood or pain, with minimal visible effect afterwards.

What is the difference between microneedling and bio microneedling?

The goal is the same, to open microchannels in the skin so it responds by building new collagen. The route differs. Classic microneedling uses steel needles in a pen and leaves small open wounds. Bio microneedling uses silica crystals from freshwater sponge that are massaged in, creates about three times as many channels and stays in the skin working for two to three days. No needle, no blood. If you want the deepest nutrient infusion, microneedling with NCTF is still strong; if you cannot stand the thought of needles, bio microneedling is your treatment.

Can I have a facial while pregnant?

Yes. We have a dedicated pregnancy-safe facial where every product and every step is chosen to be safe during pregnancy, entirely without electrical devices and with vegan products. Always tell us when booking if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and we will adapt the other treatments too where possible.

What is the difference between Hydrafacial and OxyGeneo?

Both are advanced multi-step treatments aimed at deep cleansing, nourishment and rejuvenation. Hydrafacial is built on water-based hydrodermabrasion combined with radiofrequency, microcurrent, ultrasound and LED, while OxyGeneo has its strength in the patented oxygenation of the skin from within, together with exfoliation and nutrient infusion. At the consultation we help you choose based on your skin.

How quickly do I see results?

After most facials you see cleaner, more even and more luminous skin straight away. Treatments that work with the skin’s deeper renewal, microneedling, chemical peels and bio microneedling, give their full result gradually over the following weeks as new skin and new collagen are built, with the best effect after a completed course.
