ICONA H8

Group sales director, Jackie Brown visited Marleybone Skin to try the ICONA H8 skin booster.

THE LOWDOWN

When it comes to aesthetic treatments, it’s rare to walk into a clinic with neutral expectations and walk out genuinely surprised, yet that’s exactly what happened during my first ICONA H8 session.

Marketed as a high-performance skinbooster designed to rehydrate, repair, and revive the complexion, ICONA H8 stands out for its blend of high-strength hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C, and essential amino acids.

I was curious, and I certainly didn’t expect the results I could see and feel immediately.

THE EXPERIENCE

From the moment I arrived, the clinic experience set the tone. The consultation was a relaxing experience, I felt in safe hands with Dr Catherine Denning, as it was exceptionally thorough and informative.

Every product and step was explained clearly so I knew exactly why ICONA H8 was chosen for my skin, how the active ingredients would work, and what kind of sensations to expect during the procedure. That level of transparency instantly put me at ease.

The treatment itself was surprisingly comfortable, and while I had already heard about its hydrating and restorative power, it wasn’t until I looked in the mirror afterward that the full impact hit me.

My skin looked revitalised, felt smoother, deeply hydrated, and almost silky to the touch. There was a radiant glow that I honestly didn’t think was possible after just one session.

Throughout the day, I kept catching glances of my skin in different lighting, amazed at how much brighter and more even my complexion appeared. The results were subtle in terms of natural finish but significant in terms of quality achieving healthier, plumper, and unmistakably more luminous skin.

The clinic’s structured approach also stood out. Using the ICONA RevitaPlan system, they mapped out my full treatment journey, ensuring a clear path for long-term improvement.

The treatment went beyond this appointment; it was about ongoing care, consistency, and results that build over time.

THE VERDICT

My first ICONA H8 treatment exceeded every expectation. The combination of expert consultation, a calm and reassuring environment, and a product that delivers instant, visible results made the experience exceptional. My skin hasn’t felt this hydrated or looked this radiant in a long time. I left the clinic both thrilled and eager to continue the journey to see how much further my skin can improve.

BUSINESS BENEFITS

ICONA H8 is owned and developed by Gill Pharmaceuticals, making it one of the few British-born products that maintains complete control from formulation through to distribution.

For clinics offering ICONA H8, this treatment represents a standout opportunity to elevate their service menu. The immediate, noticeable results create a “wow factor” that naturally encourages repeat visits and strong word-of-mouth referrals.

The comfort means it is accessible for first-timers, and the high-performance formula appeals to experienced skincare clients seeking advanced results.

Additionally, the ICONA RevitaPlan structure enhances the patient journey by providing a clear, organised aftercare and progression pathway – boosting client confidence, satisfaction, and long-term retention.
