Biomimetic skincare

Working with your skin, not against it.

Dr Spiller has been making skincare in Germany since 1960, when it was founded by Dr Horst Spiller. Its guiding principle is simple: work with the skin, not against it, so skincare supports what your skin already does rather than overriding it.

Biomimetic means learning from nature. Dr Spiller’s formulas are designed to mimic the skin’s own structures and processes, so your skin can recognise and use them.

Its emulsions are made to leave a light, breathable lipid film, similar to the skin’s natural protective layer, which helps keep moisture in balance. The range pairs plant-based active ingredients with modern formulation science.

Preparation and aftercare

Look after your skin.

Before your appointment

Wear comfortable clothing. Men will need to be topless, as the face, neck and décolletage are treated.
Women: a strapless bra or singlet that adjusts easily works well. We can also give you a towel.
You can ask for a female or male therapist.
Tell us about any skin conditions, allergies or medications before your facial.

After your appointment

Exercise: no hard workouts or anything that makes you sweat for at least 12 hours.
Downtime: none, so you can carry on with your day.
Combined treatments: if a peel or another treatment is added to your plan, we’ll let you know your updated downtime and aftercare.

Best booked just before a special event, for fresh, plumped-looking skin.

FAQs

Good questions.

Is the Discovery Facial right for me?

It’s an introductory facial that deep cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates using natural enzymes, and it’s tailored to your skin type on the day. If you’re unsure, your therapist can help you choose the right facial.

What does biomimetic mean?

It means learning from nature. Dr Spiller designs its formulas to mimic the skin’s own structures and processes, so they work with your skin rather than against it.

Is there any downtime?

No. You can expect fresh, plumped-looking skin straight after, so it’s a good choice just before a special event.

What do I wear on the day?

Men will need to be topless, as the face, neck and décolletage are treated. For women, we suggest a strapless bra or singlet that adjusts easily, and we can give you a towel. You can ask for a female or male therapist.

Can I use Dr Spiller at home?

Yes. We stock the Dr Spiller range in the clinic and in our online shop, and your therapist can suggest products for your routine.
