What Is a Hydrafacial?
Hydrafacial is a multi-step facial treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration. It uses a specialised device with a vacuum-like tip to remove impurities while infusing the skin with hydrating serums. It's designed to leave skin clear, smooth, and glowing — all with no irritation or downtime.
Common treatment goals:
- Clearing blackheads and clogged pores
- Brightening dull or tired-looking skin
- Boosting hydration
- Smoothing texture
- Preparing skin for events or after travel
What to Expect
The treatment begins with cleansing and gentle exfoliation, followed by painless suction to remove debris from pores. A hydrating serum is then infused into the skin, often tailored to your needs (e.g. brightening, calming, anti-ageing). Most sessions take under an hour and are suitable for all skin types.

This treatment may be suitable if
- Your skin feels dull, congested, or dry
- You want a deep cleanse and glow without downtime
- You're preparing for an event or want a monthly maintenance facial
- You're looking for a non-invasive treatment suitable for sensitive or breakout-prone skin
Pre-Care & Aftercare
Before your appointment
- Avoid strong exfoliants, retinoids, or peels for 3–5 days
- Don't wax or use hair removal cream on the face beforehand
- Arrive with clean skin if possible
After your appointment
- Avoid active skincare (e.g. acids, retinoids) for 24–48 hours
- Wear SPF daily — skin will be more absorbent and sensitive
- Avoid heat and heavy sweating (saunas, workouts) for 24 hours
- You can wear makeup the same day, though many don't feel the need
What People Are Saying
My skin felt clean and looked noticeably brighter after just one session. It's become my go-to before events.

I get congested skin and Hydrafacial gives me that 'just had a facial' glow without redness or breakouts after.
