NON-SURGICAL TREATMENTS

HYDRAFACIAL ®

HydraFacial® is a type of non-invasive water-assisted microdermabrasion (hydradermabrasion) procedure that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection simultaneously. The treatment results in clearer, rejuvenated skin with little-to-no downtime. The treatment is soothing, moisturising, non-invasive and generally non-irritating.

Hydrafacial® can improve the appearance of dull complexion, fine lines, uneven skin tone and texture, age spots, sun damage, enlarged pores, mild scars and mild acne scars, hyperpigmentation areas and other skin complaints. It is important to note that Hydrafacial® does not work for more significant scarring, stretch marks or deep lines and wrinkles. Hydrafacial uses a small hand-held device that uses a mixture of water and chemical exfoliation (glycolic/ salicylic acids) to gently remove the outer layers of the skin and exfoliate dead cells and vacuum them away. The skin can then rejuvenate leading to an improved appearance, tone and texture. Hydrafacial should be painless and anaesthetic creams are not required.

No downtime. Another reason people love HydraFacial® is that there is no downtime.
You can even apply makeup that same day if you’d like to—though most people enjoy the glow from the treatment too much to cover it up.

Immediate results. Because the treatment is non-invasive, you can see positive results right away.
We even recommend it before weddings or events for a luminous, healthy glow.

During the first part of your HydraFacial® treatment, your skin will be cleansed and prepared for the remaining part of the procedure.
Your skin will then be exfoliated, which removes dead skin cells and other impurities.
Afterwards, a fruit acid peel will be applied to your skin and gently removed.

Aside from some potential redness, the side effects are pretty minimal and low-risk, that’s what makes the HydraFacial® so enticing.
That in mind, you may experience some breakouts following the treatment

Avoid excessive sun exposure as-well as the use of artificial tanning beds for 72 hours after the treatment.
Use minimum SPF30 sunscreen post treatment.

BENEFITS OF HYDRAFACIAL®

A HydraFacial® treatment takes an average of 30 minutes.

Cleansing & Exfoliation

The first step of the HydraFacial® treatment is cleansing and exfoliation. Using a vortex wand, your aesthetician will use gentle suction to cleanse and polish away dead skin cells, leaving you with radiantly healthy-looking skin.

CHEMICAL PEEL

Next, your aesthetician will change the tip of the wand to deliver a gentle chemical peel. Unlike other chemical peels that are often irritating or painful and leave your skin red for hours or days. HydraFacials use a non-irritating mix of salicylic and glycolic acids to loosen deep pore debris.

EXTRACTION

The third step is extraction. Using painless suction, the device will remove blackheads and impurities from your pores so they can be discarded in a cup.

HYDRATING SERUM

Finally, the aesthetician will use the HydraFacial® wand to apply a soothing serum that’s packed with antioxidants and beneficial nutrients. This helps detoxify and rejuvenate your skin.

FAQS
HYDRAFACIAL® TREATMENT

What is Hydrafacial®?

This non-invasive treatment combines powerful anti-aging elements for instant, visibly enhanced skin health. HydraFacial not only delivers lasting results but also provides immediate, noticeable improvements, leaving your skin brighter, refreshed, and unclogged, thanks to its comprehensive process of cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, antioxidant protection, and red LED light therapy

WHICH BENEFITS CAN I GET FROM HYDRAFACIAL®?

This treatment promises an enhancement in skin tone and texture, and with multiple sessions, it can significantly reduce acne, acne scarring, enlarged pores, sunspots, and age marks for a noticeable transformation.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET HYDRAFACIAL®?

While a single session often yields visible results, for continuous improvement in fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and oily, congested skin, a monthly HydraFacial treatment is the ideal choice. Consistent sessions will help you maintain a radiant, glowing complexion.

Aftercare advice

The treated area of skin may feel slightly tender and appear red and swollen afterwards. You may occasionally experience skin peeling and appearances may be similar to mild sunburn. These effects will resolve naturally and should be much improved after 48 hours but may take longer to settle. You may experience some minor bruising which may take 1-2 weeks to resolve in some cases.
Avoid any perfumes, fake tan or other harsh chemicals for 72 hours after treatment.
Avoid any makeup for 24 hours after treatment as this can increase the risk of infection.
Avoid rubbing or picking the treated area.
Avoid any skin exfoliation for 72 hours following treatment.
It is important to use a regular moisturising cream around two to three times a day on the treated area. Use more regularly if you feel the skin dry or peeling.
Avoid any products that contain alpha hydroxy acids, retinol, and glycolic acid for at least 7 days after treatment.
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, sunbeds and exposure to heat for 72 hours after treatment. These can cause sweating which can irritate the delicate skin and slow down your ability to heal quickly.
Avoid swimming for 72 hours after treatment.
Avoid any excess alcohol or caffeine for 48 hours after treatment.
Wear SPF 30 or greater sunscreen for at least 2 weeks following treatment as your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight afterwards.
Avoid any further cosmetic treatments e.g. Botox or dermal filler for 2 weeks following treatment, or ask your practitioner for advice.
Avoid any hair removal treatments such as waxing for 2 weeks after treatment or until the initial redness and swelling has resolved.
You must seek medical attention and contact your practitioner if you experience any signs or symptoms of infection after treatment. Infection can present as hot, red shiny skin, there may be pus formation and you may have a fever or feel generally unwell.
You must contact your practitioner as soon as possible if you notice any other unwanted side effects.
Your practitioner will advise when further treatment appointments are required.
