HydraFacial

What is the HydraFacial?

The HydraFacial is an innovative facial rejuvenation device that delivers instant results of an advanced facial and chemical peel combined. It is a multi-step treatment that uses vortex technology to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, extract and infuse all in the one 30-minute treatment. The HydraFacial is suitable and safe for all skin types and conditions and leaves any skin feeling instantly refreshed and glowing.  

The treatment is customisable to suit individual­­ needs and focuses on the following steps:

  1. Cleanse and peel; cleanses impurities off the skin to allow for a deeper peel penetration

  2. Extract and hydrate: removes excessive oil and debris from pores with a comfortable and superior suction component

  3. Fuse and protect; the skin is saturated with protective antioxidants and peptides to further hydrate the skin and leave your skin glowing

HydraFacial is successful in the treatment of:

  • Enlarged pores
  • Dull or tired looking skin

How many treatments are required? +

The HydraFacial provides instant results and even after one treatment your skin will be noticeably fresher, brighter and smoother. However, best long term results are seen after a course of 3-6 treatments, performed at 2-4 week intervals. During your consultation a treatment plan will be developed for you based on your individual skin concerns and needs.

It can be performed to clarify and brighten your skins complexion in preparation of a special occasion or in a treatment plan to correct skin concerns.

What is involved in the HydraFacial treatment? +

BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT

  • We recommend you cease any active products (e.g. retinol, AHAs etc.) or prescription topical agents (e.g. epiduo) for at least 3 days before your HydrFacial appointment
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and wear SPF 50 every day for at least two weeks before your treatment

DURING YOUR TREATMENT

  • Your skin will be cleansed first by your Dermal Clinician to ensure the HydraFacial products can penetrate effectively
  • The treatment will then begin, step by step following the device protocols and with your Dermal Clinician selecting which products to use that will best suit your skin needs and address your concerns
  • The device uses a gentle and comfortable suction tip that can simultaneously cleanse and extract, while administering the active ingredients into the skin
  • The whole treatment usually takes 30-45 minutes

AFTER YOUR TREATMENT

  • There is no real downtime associated with the HydraFacial
  • Your skin may have a pink flush, similar to how the skin looks after a workout
  • There may be a temporary and slight tingly feeling on the skin, depending on the peel strength that was applied
  • Your skin will be left refreshed, glowing and feeling smooth to touch

How to take care of your skin after a HydraFacial treatment +

To ensure you get the best results from your HydraFacial treatments we recommend the following:

  • A cosmeceutical skincare routine will be developed for you to enhance and maintain your results in between your HydraFacial treatments
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and use SPF 50+ daily
  • Avoid exfoliating the skin for at least 7 days’ post treatment. This includes both chemical and physical exfoliating products
  • Avoid having any other skin or laser treatments for at least 7-14 days after your HydraFacial

What are the risks and suitability of the HydraFacial treatment? +
