What to
expect
HydraFacial is a relaxing
30-minute treatment,
suitable for all ages and
skin types and can help
improve a wide variety of
skin conditions.
Treatment involves five
steps, starting off with
cleansing and exfoliation
to remove dead skin cells,
an acid peel to rid the
pores of grime and other
nasties, and a vortex
suction extraction system
to completely unclog your
pores. The skin is then fed
a highly active hydrating
serum to nourish and
protect the skin.
Finally, the specialised
HydraFacial Daily
Essentials skincare is
applied to help retain
moisture and protect the
surface of the skin.
Not only does the treatment work
to improve the appearance of fine lines
and wrinkles but it also improves the
look of enlarged, congested pores, oily
or acne prone skin, hyperpigmentation
and brown spots.
HydraFacial can also be used to
transform the appearance of dull,
dehydrated and lifeless skin, as well as
on post-surgical skin (after facelifts,
blepharoplasty, etc) to aid recovery and
enhance the results.
HydraFacial can also be used in
combination with a variety of other
skin loving treatments including LED
therapy and more invasive treatments.
“We tend to use HydraFacial as a
standalone treatment but of course it
can be recommended before and after
laser treatments to really prime and
condition the skin,” says Dr Tall.
“We recommend it one week
after Fractora fractional resurfacing
treatment to give the contrast of the
smooth skin after a week of ‘rough’
skin,” she says.
Results, please
With just one treatment you will see
a dramatic improvement in your skin
both immediately and in the days
following the treatment. Your skin looks
and feels more hydrated, with a glowing
and more radiant complexion.
“You will notice results after the first
treatment, but the more the merrier,”
says Dr Tall. “We recommend every two
weeks for the first two months and then
monthly.”
“Our patients love to ‘see’ their skin’s
waste products in the solution waste
bottle on the machine, to know just
how much grime and dead skin cells the
treatment gets rid of,” says Dr Tall. “Our
patients really like the treatment and
are very happy with the look and feel of
their skin afterwards.”
“The procedure is gentle enough to
perform on all skin types. We tend to
promote it to people who are a little
more anxious to start with – then
we perhaps move on to a Fractora
fractional resurfacing treatment when
they want to seriously turn back the
hands of time,” explains Dr Tall.
Most of us want great results, with
no downtime, and HydraFacial meets
this tall order. If you’re looking to start
anti-ageing skincare procedures or if
you have an event coming up and are
looking for an overall skin refresher,
this is the perfect all-round treatment.
“HydraFacial is the original ‘BIC’
pen of hydrating microdermabrasion
treatments,” says Dr Tall. “I would
absolutely recommend it to anyone who
is looking to improve the look and feel
of their skin.” CBM
