The Benefits of Heat
There are several benefits to heated treatments including: an increase in extension of soft tissues; removal of toxins from cells; enhanced blood flow; increased function of tissue cells; relaxation of sore, stiff muscles; and relief of painful arthritic joints.

Lava Shell Full Body Massage
This revolutionary and unique full body massage for women and men uses naturally self warming Tiger Clam Shells to deliver a seamless treatment tailored to suit your individual needs.  The warm smooth shells are expertly glided over the body with varying pressures, techniques and precision enabling the therapist to reach the deepest aches and pains alleviating all stress and tension.  Hydrating oils are used during the treatment to moisturise the skin as the warming energy of the shells helps to revitalise and rebalance the body and mind.

Lava Shell Back Massage
This deep tissue massage uses the warm lava shells to treat the back and neck on a profound level achieving a firm deep pressure.  The radiating heat from the shells enables deeper muscle tension to be treated and released leaving you feeling instantly stress free and rejuvenated.

Lava Shell Tummy Treatment
This powerful treatment is a natural version of the colonic cleanse.
The digestive system is improved and regulated with encouraging massage strokes around the abdominal area.  The combination of soothing heat and gentle massage stimulates the body’s natural systems to effectively eliminate toxins and reduce bloating.  This treatment will leave you feeling comfortable, rejuvenated and with a flatter tummy for days.  A word of warning though… some people may experience increased bowel movements following this treatment.
We recommend a course of 6 of these treatments, one a week for four weeks followed by the last two three weeks apart.  This treatment is best every three weeks to fit in with the body’s natural cycle.

Face mapping

The dermalogica range is not based on old-fashioned skin typing, but on a unique system of analysis, allowing the skin therapist to design a personalised treatment for each client. Combining the latest skin analysis techniques with the proven results of Chinese Diagnosis, the face mapping procedure provides the therapist with an objective view of the skin’s condition, as well as an indication of the underlying health issues that might be affecting it. Rather than analysing the skin in general terms, Face Mapping divides the face into 14 distinct zones, assessing individual problems and needs. Using this inch-by-inch methodical analysis of the facial landscape allows the therapist to prescribe treatment and homecare needs accurately.

Dermalogica Prescriptive Facial

Your treatment is unique to you and varies on every visit. A combination of the following steps, according to your needs, may be expected: consultation, double cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, massage, concentrated booster then masque application, eye protection and the application of moisturiser. Following your treatment you will be presented with your prescription and you can discuss with your therapist the essential personalised homecare to address your specific concerns.

Dermalogica De-stress facial

This treatment is the same as the Prescription facial but starts with a relaxing and de-stressing back massage.

Papillon Signature Spa Facial

This is the ultimate pampering facial, once you have had one of these facials you will be hooked!  We have combined several favourite treatments having listened to what our clients like and are now able to offer this amazing treatment.  Based on dermalogica products we use steam to double cleanse and perform any extractions.  A hand treatment is applied to the hands and they are cocooned in warm mitts.  A facial exfoliation is carried out followed by a deeply relaxing and toning hot and sold stone facial massage.  While the face mask is delivering intense hydration to the face, the neck shoulders and scalp are gently massaged to ease away tension. To complete the treatment moisturiser is gently massaged into the face and then hands.  By this point we normally have to prize people off the heated couch!

For specialist waxing such as Brazilian and Hollywood bikini waxing we use a french hot wax.  This wax does not set hard like the old style caramel coloured hot wax, instead it is still pliable when set so it is more comfortable to remove.  This was is also particularly effective for lip and chin waxing especially if the  hairs are particularly stubborn.

For all other waxing we use Australian Bodycare Teatree warm wax.  We use the disposable wax head system rather than pot wax and spatulas because it is more hygenic, every client has a new wax head used for their treatment which is then thrown away.  After treatment we apply Australian Bodycare Tea Tree body lotion, this is cooling and soothing and antibacterial and helps to close the hair follicles and discourage ingrown hairs.

Aftercare Advice

• No sunbeds for 24 hours after waxing
• No sunbathing for 24 hours after waxing
• Avoid swimming, saunas, hot baths for 12 to 24 hours after treatment
• Avoid using perfumed body lotions and deodourant for 12 hours after treatment
• Regular exfoliation and moisturising of waxed areas will discourage the growth of ingrown hairs

The use of photo-rejuvination treatment regularly, will help to stimulate collagen and Elastin and will therefore improve the firmness and overall texture of the skin long term. It also repairs sun damage, decreases age spots and helps calm roseacea (although there is no known cure for roseacea).

There isn’t any machine, system or treatment that will work on everyone. However it is estimated that photo-rejuvination will work on 90% of the population. The results of the treatment will vary from person to person but you should start to see a difference when the skin has had time to have a full renewal process, hence after 21 - 28 days. The treatments should be performed every 21days to a month apart, the cells must have time to regenerate before the next treatment.

It is vital that you use the recommended homecare products to gain the full benefits of these treatments.

A rejuvination treatment package consists of 6 treatments, each treatment lasts 1 hour and includes microdermabrasion and photo-rejuvination. You will receive an in-depth consultation with one of our fully qualified therapists to ensure that you are suitable for photo-rejuvination treatments and that they are the best treatment to fulfill your skincare requirements.

Indian Head Massage involves working with a firm and gentle rhythm to help untie blockages and relieve uncomfortable, painful build up of tension. It’s effect is not just physical, it also works on an emotional level, calming the spirit to promote relaxation.

An ancient proverb states: ” A happy mind is medicine. No better prescription exists.” The results bear this out.

People who come to Papillon feeling despondent, depressed, worried, tense, stressed and distressed, leave in a happier more relaxed frame of mind after just one massage.

It is said that regular Indian Head Massage enhances the scalp and promotes the growth of lustrous hair. It offers a means by which the individual can begin to get in touch with the healing potential within their inner being, and thus become empowered to ensure their own well being.

The eyelash curls will begin to drop gradually (one by one) after about two months. This does depend on how quickly you shed your eyelashes, generally we lose one a day. The entire lashes will take about another 2 months to return to their natural look. You can repeat the  procedure after 2-3 months and not have to wait until the entire lashes return to their natural look.

We include an eyelash tint to get maximum benefits from this treatment.

Eyelash perm & tint         £30

The application process involves bonding individual single synthetic eyelashes onto your own eyelashes with a new non toxic bonding agent that lasts up to 3 months, and looks absolutely fabulous!! This treatment involves attaching between 30-100 synthetic lashes onto each eyelid.

We also offer Top -Up ½ hour maintenance so that you can keep up this fabulous must have look. Great for a first date, Wedding, Parties in fact any big occasion or even just for fun to give you instant Glamour and sex appeal.

The CACI Non-surgical face lift treatment is completely safe and totally painless. There is over 20 years medical research behind it. The principle of the treatment is muscle re-education, stimulating the facial muscles to give an extraordinary lifting effect,  reminding the muscles of how they used to be. The treatment also effects the skin tissues, clients will find lines softened and skin tissues refined. The skin takes on a wonderful glow and has a firmer more supple appearance and feels incredibly smooth and toned. The treatment is as much preventative as corrective and is therefore suitable for all ages.  We use steam to prepare and hydrate the face which makes the treatment a lot more effective.  Also the buds used in the probes are drenched in anti-ageing solution which penetrates deeply into the skin feeding the underlying skin cells. 
A Course of 10 Treatments (2-3 per week)….£410

CACI Hydro… mini facial

Intensive hydrating facial treatment.  This uses soothing rollers to charge a CACI hydro mask and push the nourishing ingredients deep into the dermal tissues, plumping and rehydrating the cells to give a youthful glow and a boost to the fibroblast collagen producing cells. This treatment is best when used in conjunction with the CACI non-surgical face lift treatment.  But it is also extremely beneficial for those people short on time but wanting an effective facial with evident results in only half an hour.

CACI Ultra Deep Wrinkle Treatment

This treatment is ideal for those of you who find micro-dermabrasion too ‘intensive and uncomfortable’.  This treatment has a very relaxing peel which prepares the skin for the penetration of intensely moisturising products and the use of the ‘deep wrinkle comb’ which targets those deep unsightly wrinkles, it  stimulates the underlying skin cells causing them to plump up and diminish the appearance of the wrinkle.  Some people can still feel the tingle hours later !
