How does HydraFacial work? Reviews Fees Team Frequently Asked Questions
A Hydrafacial is an advanced, non-laser skin resurfacing treatment designed to improve skin tone, texture and overall skin health. Using innovative hydra-dermabrasion technology, it deeply cleanses the skin while simultaneously delivering intense hydration and nourishing serums directly into the skin.
Unlike more aggressive treatments, a Hydrafacial is completely non-invasive and non-ablative, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types, including sensitive and congestion-prone skin. The treatment helps to refine the skin’s surface, clear blocked pores and boost hydration levels, resulting in visibly smoother, brighter and healthier-looking skin.
Hydrafacial treatments are fully customisable, using targeted serums rich in antioxidants, vitamins and hyaluronic acid to address individual concerns such as dullness, dehydration, uneven texture, acne, scarring and pigmentation. With no downtime and a treatment time of around 30 minutes, it’s often referred to as a “lunchtime facial”, perfect for achieving instant, noticeable results with long-term skin benefits.
Your skin is exposed daily to environmental stressors such as pollution, toxins, UV rays and everyday stress. These factors create free radicals, which are a leading cause of skin damage and premature ageing. Free radicals disrupt healthy skin cell function, causing the skin to gradually lose its vitality.
Hydrafacial uses powerful antioxidants to neutralise these free radicals, helping to restore balance, replenish hydration and protect your skin for a healthier, more youthful-looking complexion.
Hydrafacials work by extracting impurities from the surface of the skin through a combination of gentle cleansing, exfoliation, hydration and relaxing massage techniques. Specialised serums are used to remove dead skin cells while stimulating the deeper layers of the skin, encouraging the production of new skin cells and collagen.
This advanced facial is the perfect choice for achieving a healthy, radiant glow, ideal if you’re preparing for a special occasion or simply want your skin to look refreshed and revitalised.
The HydraFacial treatment works in six steps:
Step 1 - Detox
This uses a specially designed gentle suction tip to improve lymphatic drainage to help reduce toxins and improve circulation.
Step 2 - Cleansing and exfoliation
Dead skin cells are gently removed to reveal healthy new skin.
Step 3 - Brightening agent
Glycolic acid peel. This gentle peel loosens dirt and debris from pores without causing irritation, brightening your skin.
Step 4 - Extraction
Painless automated extractions use vortex suction, honey extract and gentle salicylic acid to clean out the pores, and remove blackheads and impurities in congested areas.
Step 5 - Hydration
Antioxidants and hyaluronic acid are infused into the skin to nourish and protect. This replenishes and rejuvenates your skin.
Step 6 - LED light therapy
HydraFacial stimulates collagen production and calms redness with a red LED. The blue LED light helps to reduce bacteria that can aggravate acne.
