Summary: The Collagen C Facial at Mello Spa Canggu is a 90-minute Face+ treatment (IDR 1,800K) built around vitamin C, peptides and antioxidant actives, finished with gua sha sculpting. Some guests search for it as a vitamin C facial in Bali, others as a straightforward collagen treatment; it’s the same session either way. This guide covers what’s in the treatment, what it actually does for different skin concerns, who it suits, and how to pair it with add-ons like LED Face Therapy.
A collagen facial in Canggu means something more specific than a standard glow session. At Mello Spa Canggu on Batu Bolong, the Collagen C Facial sits in our Face+ range: the advanced tier built for guests targeting a particular concern rather than general upkeep.
Vitamin C, peptides and antioxidants are the working actives. None of them are dramatic on their own, but layered correctly and finished with gua sha sculpting, the combination is one of the more results-led facials on the Canggu menu.
This guide breaks down what’s actually in the treatment, what it does for specific concerns, who it suits, and how to build it into a longer skincare plan.
What is a collagen facial in Canggu?
The Collagen C Facial is a 90-minute Face+ treatment at Mello Spa Canggu, priced at IDR 1,800K. It’s built around vitamin C, peptide and antioxidant-rich formulations designed to support the skin’s own collagen production and improve firmness, tone and texture over a course of treatments.
All prices are subject to a 6% service charge and 15% government tax.
It sits alongside our other Face+ treatments, the Cellular Renewal Facial and the Premier Biohacking Exosome Facial, each targeting a different concern at an advanced level. You can see the full range on our Face+ menu.
What’s in the Collagen C Facial?
Core treatment: 90 minutes, IDR 1,800K
What’s included: – Personalised skin consultation at the start of the session – Double cleanse and exfoliation to prepare skin for actives – Vitamin C serum layered to support brightness and even tone – Peptide-rich formulations chosen to support firmness and elasticity – Antioxidant actives to help protect skin from environmental stress – Gua sha facial sculpting worked through as part of the treatment – Finishing mask and SPF application before you leave
Our facial menu draws on clinical ranges including Dr. Spiller, Skeyndor, Elemis and Medicube, chosen here for their vitamin C and peptide formulations. Your therapist selects the specific products for your skin during the consultation, not from a fixed recipe.
Optional add-ons: – Gua Sha Face Sculpting: 15 min, IDR 250K (an extended sculpting pass beyond what’s built into the core treatment) – LED Face Therapy (Dermalux): 15 min, IDR 350K (red light, said by Dermalux to support collagen production, layered on top) – Cool Sculpting Ice Globes: 15 min, IDR 250K (cryotherapy to de-puff and tighten before you leave) – Ampoule Boost: 15 min, IDR 150K (a concentrated active layered in for a specific concern)

What does vitamin C do in a facial?
Vitamin C is an antioxidant, and in skincare it’s most associated with supporting brightness and helping protect skin from the environmental stress that dulls tone over time: sun exposure from days on Echo Beach, pollution, general day-to-day wear. Used consistently, it’s one of the more established actives in professional skincare. Harvard Health Publishing notes that daily use of a vitamin C formulation for at least three months improved the appearance of fine lines and skin texture in clinical trials, though results build gradually rather than appearing after a single session. It’s also the reason some guests know this treatment as a vitamin C facial rather than by its menu name.
In the Collagen C Facial, vitamin C is layered early, straight after cleansing and exfoliation, so the skin is prepared to receive it.
What do peptides do in a facial?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins including collagen. In topical skincare, peptide formulations are designed to send the skin signals that support its own renewal processes, including firmness and elasticity.
Like vitamin C, peptides work over time rather than instantly. A single Collagen C Facial gives skin an immediate brightness and a visible sculpting effect from the gua sha work. The firmness gains build with repeated sessions, which is how most collagen treatment protocols are designed to work.
Collagen C Facial: concern by concern
Guests often ask about an anti aging facial Canggu option without knowing our menu name for it. Here’s how the Collagen C Facial maps to specific concerns:
| Concern | What the Collagen C Facial does |
|---|---|
| Dullness, uneven tone | Vitamin C layering supports brightness and evens out tone |
| Loss of firmness | Peptide formulations support the skin’s own elasticity signalling |
| Fine lines, early ageing | Combined vitamin C, peptide and antioxidant actives, plus optional red light LED |
| Puffiness, tired skin | Gua sha sculpting plus optional Cool Sculpting Ice Globes add-on |
| Environmental stress, sun exposure | Antioxidant actives help support the skin’s own defences |
Who the Collagen C Facial is for, and who it isn’t
We see this booked often by residents around Berawa and Pererenan looking for a professional-grade step up from their home routine, alongside visitors fitting in one advanced session before they fly home.
The Collagen C Facial suits guests who:
Want visible firming and brightening results, not just a maintenance glow
Are dealing with early signs of ageing: fine lines, loss of firmness, uneven texture
Have a specific event coming up and want a course of treatments building toward it
Already have a solid at-home routine and want a professional-grade step up
It’s less suited to guests who want a light, first-time facial experience with minimal intervention. Our Face menu covers the standard tier if that’s a better starting point than stepping straight into Face+. The Korean Glass Skin Facial is the gentler option if that’s what you’re after, and our guide to choosing a facial by skin type covers the full comparison.
Who should check with us first: – Anyone with active acne, open wounds or an infection in the treatment area – Anyone who has used strong prescription topical actives very recently – Anyone who is pregnant or trying to conceive (share your trimester when you book so we can adjust the protocol)
We don’t give medical advice on skin conditions. If you have a diagnosed condition, speak with your doctor before booking any advanced facial.
How the Collagen C Facial compares to other advanced facials
| Treatment | Duration | Price (before tax) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Collagen C Facial | 90 min | IDR 1,800K | Firmness, brightness, early ageing concerns |
| Cellular Renewal Facial | 75 min | IDR 1,550K | Overall skin renewal, general Face+ upgrade |
| Premier Biohacking Exosome Facial | 90 min | IDR 2,700K | Advanced renewal, post-sun recovery, visible ageing |
If you want the full picture of how the Exosome Facial works, our exosome facial guide covers it in depth.
How often to book
For visible firming and brightness results, a course of Collagen C Facials spaced four to six weeks apart tends to work better than a single session, matching the skin’s natural renewal cycle. After your first session, your therapist notes how your skin responded, whether it needed a gentler peptide concentration or a firmer gua sha pass, and books your next date around that rather than a fixed template.
If you’re new to facials generally, our Canggu facials guide is a considered place to start before committing to the Face+ tier. Want to bundle it into a longer visit instead? Our Packages page lists current combinations that pair an advanced facial with body and beauty treatments in one session.

Frequently asked questions
What is a collagen facial in Canggu?
A collagen facial in Canggu is a treatment built around actives that support the skin’s own collagen production, typically vitamin C, peptides and antioxidants. At Mello Spa Canggu, the Collagen C Facial is a 90-minute Face+ treatment (IDR 1,800K) that layers these actives and finishes with gua sha sculpting.
What does the Collagen C Facial actually do?
It’s designed to support brightness, firmness and even tone through vitamin C, peptide and antioxidant actives, with gua sha sculpting adding an immediate contouring effect. A single session gives visible brightness and sculpting. Firmness gains build with a course of treatments spaced a few weeks apart.
Is the Collagen C Facial an anti aging facial?
It’s used as an anti aging facial in the sense that its actives, vitamin C, peptides and antioxidants, are chosen to support firmness and reduce the visible signs of ageing over time. It doesn’t involve injections or medical procedures, and results build gradually with repeated sessions rather than appearing overnight.
How much does a collagen facial cost in Canggu?
At Mello Spa Canggu, the Collagen C Facial is IDR 1,800K for 90 minutes, before the 6% service charge and 15% government tax. Add-ons like LED Face Therapy (IDR 350K) or Gua Sha Face Sculpting (IDR 250K) can be layered on top.
Can I add LED light therapy to a collagen facial?
Yes. LED Face Therapy is a 15-minute Dermalux add-on (IDR 350K) available on the Collagen C Facial. Per Dermalux, red light is said to support collagen production, which makes it a natural pairing with this particular treatment.
How is the Collagen C Facial different from the Korean Glass Skin Facial?
The Korean Glass Skin Facial focuses on hydration and barrier health using PHA exfoliation and Korean serums, a gentler, maintenance-focused treatment. The Collagen C Facial is a Face+ treatment built around vitamin C, peptides and antioxidants, aimed at firmness and visible ageing concerns rather than general hydration. Guests newer to facials often start with glass skin and move to Collagen C as a targeted step up.
The Collagen C Facial is one of the treatments we recommend booking as a course rather than a one-off, because that’s genuinely how the actives work. Come in for a consultation, tell us what you’re seeing in the mirror, and we’ll build a schedule around it rather than sell you a single session and call it done.
