Results take time


So, start planning today.


Some results (like laser or course-based skin work) require multiple sessions and consistent scheduling; others (deep relaxation, targeted facials) deliver immediate calm and polish. Planning ahead helps you prioritise what you most want to feel and look like by summer.


Make appointments work with your calendar. Aurah’s extended opening hours and private treatment rooms make it simple to fit treatments around other commitments




Signature Aurah treatments to prioritise


Laser hair reduction (4Quattro)

If low‑maintenance, smooth summer skin is the goal, Aurah’s 4Quattro hair-reduction system offers fast, comfortable sessions using SHR technology. Expect a recommended course of 6–10 sessions; spacing varies by area (face: ~4 weeks, upper body: 5–6 weeks, lower body: 6–8 weeks). Start as early as possible for the best outcome, and book a consultation before your first treatment.


Madero Body Sculpting

A non‑invasive wooden‑tool therapy that contours, reduces the appearance of cellulite and boosts lymphatic drainage and circulation — ideal for smoothing and sculpting areas like thighs, hips and abdomen before holidays or events. Best booked as a short course (usually weekly sessions) to see cumulative contouring and texture improvements.


Skin rejuvenation (OPL)

Aurah’s OPL treatments address sun damage, pigmentation, redness, and stimulate collagen for texture and radiance — ideal for bright, even summer skin. These treatments require a consultation and a patch test 24–48 hours before the first session. Plan a course (and aftercare) with your therapist to time peak results. 


Hydrofacials & bespoke facials

A go‑to for instant luminosity and hydration before key events or travel. Aurah’s facials are tailored to concerns such as dullness, dehydration or congestion — excellent as both regular maintenance and pre‑event tune‑ups.


Japanese Head Spa

For a concentrated reset, Aurah’s luxurious head spa uses authentic Japanese relaxation beds and techniques to relieve stress, support sleep and restore calm — perfect between hectic weeks or before important events. 


Targeted massages

Swedish, deep‑tissue, and muscle recovery therapies help with circulation, tension, and sleep quality — valuable for maintaining high performance during travel and busy periods. Book regular sessions to stay ahead of tension build‑up.

SMALL STEPS, BIG reSULTS.

CONSISTENCY IS YOUr SECRET WEAPON.

A practical timeline for busy pEOPLE


Use this practical timeline to schedule Aurah’s treatments strategically, so you achieve visible, reliable results by summer while fitting sessions around a busy calendar.



Immediate (this week)


Book a consultation for laser or skin rejuvenation (consultation + patch tests are required for some services). Call Aurah or use our booking portal.


Schedule a signature facial or hydrofacial within the next 1–3 weeks for an instant glow before early summer events.



Short course (4–8 weeks)


Begin laser hair reduction if you need visible reduction for swimwear or travel; follow Aurah’s recommended session intervals for the area you’re treating. Realistically, full courses take several months, but starting immediately yields the best long‑term results.


Start 1–2 skin rejuvenation sessions (as advised by your clinician) to reduce pigmentation or stimulate collagen production ahead of summer; include patch testing and aftercare.


Book Madero Body Sculpting as a short weekly course (typically 4–8 sessions) to build cumulative contouring, improve texture and boost lymphatic drainage before holidays or events.



Ongoing maintenance (monthly to seasonal)


Book monthly massages or head spas to manage stress and maintain sleep and performance. These are quick investments in energy and focus.


Schedule a facial 1–2 weeks before any major event for peak radiance.


SPF for safe skin

  2. Book the required consultation and any patch tests now (consultations are required for laser and many skin treatments at Aurah).
