What is a HydraFacial?

An effective treatment that has been around since 1997, the Hydrafacial continues to be the industry-leading treatment for skin cleansing and hydration. Hydrafacial treatments uses patented technology to cleanse, extract and hydrate your skin, unlike any other treatment.

In this article, we’ll be breaking down how the procedure works, the benefits and what to expect from a HydraFacial treatment. This treatment is extremely popular at our skin clinic in Southampton and our dermatology specialists can help to answer any questions you may have about this treatment.

Using its patented three-step approach HydraFacial treatments cleanse the skin, extract imperfections and thoroughly hydrate your skin.

HydraFacial starts by cleansing your skin, removing dead skin cells and removing excess sebum from the surface. The person performing the treatment will then apply a mix of salicylic and glycolic acid to the skin to separate the dirt and oil which is blocking your skin and pores.

Any dirt that arises is then pushed from your pores with a blast of fluid from the device. The dirt is then vacuumed up along with any other impurities. This treatment is completed while also hydrating, plumping and applying nourishing serums to your skin.

In short, the device exposes dirt and other impurities, washes it out with a blast of fluid, and hydrates, nourishes and plumps your skin with healthy skin serums.

Whether you’re looking to maintain healthy skin or concerned about acne or pigmentation, the HydraFacial can be catered exactly to your needs. This treatment is perfect for a range of conditions, including:

Acne Treatment

Due to its deep exfoliation benefits, Hydrafacial has been known to be a great treatment for acne and acne scarring. The device extracts dirt and impurities from deep under the skin whilst also promoting healthy serums and hydration.

Rosacea Treatment

Finding safe and comfortable treatments for this condition can be difficult because of how sensitive the skin is. Due to its hydrating and nourishing properties, it has been suggested as an effective treatment for Rosacea. This treatment should not be considered if you have a rash like a Rosacea flare.

Blackhead removal

Blackheads are something that can be dealt with at home; however, they are nowhere near as thorough as a professional Hydrafacial. Not only does the device extract blackheads more effectively than home techniques, but it also flushes them out completely whilst hydrating the skin for a fresher, more rejuvenated look.

If you are considering this treatment, you’ll be pleased to know that there are no side effects or downtime necessary for HydraFacial. You can just enjoy clearer, cleaner, more refreshed skin, straight after your treatment.

Hydrafacial doesn’t cause pain or discomfort, the only thing you will feel is a slight pressure from the device itself during the procedure.

This treatment is extremely safe and has been continuously developed for safety, efficiency and results since 1997.

A single session of Hydrafacial costs £130 at our clinic in Southampton. You may want to book multiple treatments or create a bespoke course of treatment with one of our specialists for optimal results.
