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.

Pre-Care & Aftercare
Before your appointment

- 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

- You can wear makeup the same day, though many don't feel the need
