Anyone who wants smooth, bright, and youthful-looking skin should have a HydraFacial. The HydraFacial is appropriate for all skin tones unless you have an active rash, sunburn or Rosacea. Anyone who is pregnant should also avoid it as some of the ingredients used during the HydraFacial, such as salicylic acid, haven’t been tested and proven safe during pregnancy.
Each HydraFacial treatment is built of 5 to 10 steps that will be chosen according to your skin type and concern. I will choose the best protocol and boosters for you. In one session I will use the HydraFacial device to cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and deliver a variety of rejuvenating serums, finishing the treatment with appropriate LED light application*. *may be excluded depending on your treatment option.
HydraFacial is the treatment to improve hydration, radiance, and even skin texture and pore size. The treatment is entirely customizable through booster serums, which may treat the appearance of hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, dull skin, or enlarged pores.33
Everyone is individual so we will advise to you how many you need and how regularly to have them in the consultation. Generally the best way to get initial results with HydraFacial is to book a course of three, one treatment every two weeks. This regimen will start to lift your skin to an improved standard.
As HydraFacial has no downtime no special aftercare is required. We do however recommend a daily application of sun protection alongside appropriate skincare advised by myself. Delaying using stronger topical creams (Vit A and AHAs) for 2 days after your treatment is also recommended.
HydraFacial is a non-invasive procedure using hydradermabrasion and it is well tolerated by most people. If redness appears post treatment it usually doesn’t last long. Allergic reactions are very rare.
The most important factor of the HydraFacial is that it doesn’t hurt. While there is a deep cleansing, exfoliation and peeling process, none of these treatment steps cause any pain whatsoever to skin. Many people describe the process as feeling like a tiny vacuum is tugging gently on your skin. Nothing is being pulled hard, poked or irritated. HydraFacials are completely non-invasive, so there is no skin-puncturing.

Yes, HydraFacial Acne Protocol involves the same exfoliating and deep cleansing steps with an additional GlySal Peel and Blue LED Light Therapy. This treatment will help to improve the appearance of acne and acne scarring and regulate oil levels caused by excess sebum. The strength of the peel step will be tailored to your Acne related needs.
