Absolutely Chats to Founder Zoe Budd
How did ZoBu come about?
I’ve been in the aesthetics industry for 22 years and during my career I have seen this industry undergo a massive transformation thanks to advancing technologies and non-invasive treatments. At top-tier medical spas in London, I learned first-hand that using different technologies during a single treatment can deliver incredible results, faster. However, no spa was able to provide that flexibility to their client. Clients had to buy multiple different packages and arrange for multiple machines to be used at the same time, which was expensive and inconvenient.
And then, during Covid, many clients found it difficult to manage clinic appointments and became more focused on safety, health and convenience.
ZoBu was born by addressing these two issues and by recognising a significant gap in the market for at-home luxury aesthetics. With ZoBu, we bring the latest machine-based treatments to your doorstep and only use the most experienced aestheticians. By eliminating the need to leave your home and making the entire process easy and time-efficient, our service fits around your schedule and personal needs, offering unmatched convenience and comfort.
What’s your background?
Prior to founding ZoBu, I worked at London’s top clinics, which allowed me to gain access and experience with the best products, suppliers, and aestheticians. These experiences equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to create a more personalised and convenient aesthetic service, ultimately leading to the inception of ZoBu.
What are the advantages of having treatments at home?
It eliminates the hassle of traveling to a clinic and the discomfort of travelling home when your skin is red, uncomfortable and/or sensitive to the sunlight. At home, you can relax in your own space, and the peaceful environment allows for a more comfortable experience. Additionally, home treatments can be easily integrated into your schedule, ensuring you can always prioritise self-care without disrupting your daily routine. We bring all the equipment, the bed and towels and do not ask you to supply a thing.
What are your most popular treatments?
Now that we’re in the summer season, body treatments have been in high demand. I can’t tell you how many women approach us with concerns about loose skin on the knees and inner thighs! For this, I love to work with Hifu, it uses High Intensity Focused Ultrasound to stimulate collagen and elastin and is perfect for these aging areas. Treatments for cellulite and fat reduction are also popular, I combine shockwave therapy with Radiofrequency and Micro compression vibration therapy which effectively works on water retention, cellulite and skin tightening. When I finish the thigh treatment I include some time in the infrared sauna blanket which helps to speed up the process to eliminate toxins.
The “Skin Flood” facial is a favourite for summer, it’s a Korean Mesotherapy packed with 55 hydrating and anti-aging ingredients infused into the skin with micro needles and finished off with LED light therapy. For anyone that feels their skin is thirsty and in need of hydration then this treatment is for you.
All our treatments are tailored to individual needs and require minimal downtime, making them highly convenient.
And what are the most innovative ones?
One of our most innovative treatments is the Hair Exosomes therapy. This cutting-edge treatment uses organic hair exosomes to stimulate hair growth and rejuvenate hair follicles. It’s an excellent solution for those experiencing hair thinning and loss, offering impressive results in hair restoration. This is particularly popular with my male clients.
