Hydra Facial
Overview
How Hydra Facial Works
A soothing pH-balanced milk cleanser is massaged over the skin to remove impurities and leave it calm and fresh.
Fine natural beads are worked in gentle circular motions to lift away dull surface build-up and reveal smoother texture.
A light mist of warm steam softens congestion, for safe, precise clearing .
An ultrasonic skin scrubber glides across the skin, loosening debris from pores for a clear, refined look.
A chilled “cold hammer” is swept over the face with a calming gel to soothe and minimise visible redness.
Using the HydraFacial handpiece, a vitamin-C and hyaluronic acid blend is infused while gentle suction removes remaining impurities.
A skin resurface solution is applied to refine uneven patches and boost clarity .
A balancing lotion is swept over the skin to restore comfort after the active step.
Five drops of antioxidant serum are pressed in with an ultrasonic probe to maximise absorption and hydration. 🔟 Vitamin Oil Massage A nourishing facial oil is worked in with cool jade “mushroom” tools, easing tension and increasing circulation. 1
A rich, cooling mask blankets the face to lock in moisture and leave skin soft and supple. 1
Red or blue LED light (chosen for your concern) calms and revitalises the complexion in just 10 minutes. 1
A ceramide cream strengthens the skin’s barrier, followed by SPF 50 for essential daytime protection.
