48 GHP Q3 2026 Claire Williams founded WOW Facial Ltd (WOW Facial) as a result of spotting a gap in the market. She’d noticed that clinics were offering good individual treatments, but they weren’t genuinely hyperpersonalising them or properly resolving the underlying skin issue. Aesthetics is very protocol-led. However, this can mean a lack of diversity in treatments and the outcome is often left to chance. WOW Facial exists to change that: to personalise treatments to every individual’s specific needs, and to teach practitioners how to stack treatments effectively so they can ensure the best, most effective and predictable outcomes. We heard more from Claire as we recently named WOW Facial as our Best Hyper-Personalised Facial Treatment 2026 – UK. At the core of WOW Facial’s offering is the philosophy of ‘personalisation before protocol’ – because the patient’s skin decides the treatment required, not the product on the shelf. “We would rather teach a practitioner why a stage works than simply sell them a box,” said Claire. “Accountability to the outcome on the patient’s skin is the only measure that really matters.” The WOW Facial comprises innovative six stages, five of which are tailored entirely to the patient’s individual needs. The first stage is cleanse and prep, followed by peel and treat, WOW Fusion® with meso, LED light therapy, ‘The Mask’, and lastly, finish and protect. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, WOW Facial goes above and beyond to create a treatment that responds effectively to the patient’s unique skin and specific concerns. Speaking about their experience with the WOW Facial, one patient said: “There is no rival in my opinion to WOW Fusion, and this treatment should be experienced at least once by anyone who seeks to revitalise and sharpen up their features with a lingering goddess glow for weeks after.” WOW Facial is right to take pride in its clinics and the results its team produces. “A number of our founding clinics are still working with us years on, which in this industry says more than any marketing ever could,” said Claire. “We have had consistently excellent patient outcomes over the years, which is ultimately what makes the treatment sell itself. We measure success in two ways: whether our clinics stay with us and keep coming back, and whether patients see genuine, visible change in their skin. If both of those are true, we are doing our job properly.” Indeed, WOW Facial is thriving as a business – but that isn’t to say it doesn’t come without its challenges. Claire tells us how the biggest hurdles have been regulatory changes, Brexit, and the import-export situation. Regulations within the aesthetics industry are continuously shifting, while Brexit has made moving products in and out of the UK a lot harder, slower, and more expensive. There’s more paperwork, more cost, and more delay. WOW Facial’s response has been to focus on what it can control. It has built its own intellectual property and systems rather than depending on what it can source, and there has been heavy investment in the science and diagnostics side of the business. Tighter regulation ultimately rewards companies that can evidence what they do, so what began as a headwind has pushed WOW Facial towards being more rigorous and better-evidenced. Speaking of what’s coming next for WOW Facial, Claire told us: “Over the next five years, we are working towards bringing far more hyper-personalisation into medical aesthetics. To do that, we have designed BIOguided (Biologically Guided Aesthetics®) – an AIpowered assessment that draws on genomic data, mitochondrial data, phenotypic data, and extensive lifestyle and environmental questioning to build hyper-personalised treatment solutions that suit a person’s unique biological signature. “The goal is simple: to move medical aesthetics away from guesswork, and towards treatment chosen on the basis of an individual’s own biology.” Claire and the team are launching BIOguided (Biologically Guided Aesthetics®) at CCR 2026 at ExCeL London on 1st and 2nd October, where they will also be part of the Innovation Trail.
