Hydra Facial Luxury Treatment £100

What Is a HydraFacial?

A HydraFacial treatment is an in-office medical procedure that focuses on resurfacing the skin. It uses hydro microdermabrasion, a particularly gentle form of microdermabrasion, and employs jets of water⁠—instead of lasers or abrasive materials such as crystals⁠—to lightly exfoliate surface skin.

During the treatment, water is first used to cleanse and exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, removing dead skin cells and excess oil. This is followed by the application of a chemical solution, which further cleanses the surface skin and loosens the debris that clogs pores.

Any remaining impurities are then suctioned away, leaving the pores debris-free and prepared to absorb a customized hydrating serum. The result of this three-step process is clear pores that appear smaller and smoother, providing a fresh, youthful appearance.

The positive effects of a HydraFacial will become increasingly noticeable after several treatments. In most cases, patients require a HydraFacial treatment once or twice per month to maintain a lasting effect and significantly improve the appearance and texture of their skin.

What You Can Expect During Treatment

A HydraFacial is a fairly safe procedure when performed by a qualified professional. An experienced practitioner is able to customize the treatment to suit a patient’s needs and effectively address any issues that may arise during the process.

The three key steps of a HydraFacial treatment typically take place over a 30–45 minute period.

Cleansing

The first step is to thoroughly cleanse the skin by removing dead skin cells and sebum. This is achieved by using high water pressure that gently but effectively removes debris from the surface of the skin. This not only removes impurities, but also prepares the skin for the next step.

Exfoliation

After the skin is cleansed, a mixture of glycolic acid (GA) and salicylic acid (SA) is applied to the skin. These acids are both natural exfoliators commonly found in face masks and acne products.

HydraFacial is a microdermabrasion procedure that uses pressurized water instead of the abrasive materials employed in traditional forms of microdermabrasion. This allows the procedure to resurface and cleanse the skin without causing irritation.

This treatment can be used to address acne, balance skin tone, reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and combat signs of aging.

Hydration

Lastly, a hydrapeel tip—which resembles a small pen—is used to suction out any blackheads, impurities and remaining dirt from the pores. At the same time a plumping and hydrating serum is applied, one that is customized to your needs.

HydraFacial serums can contain a number of different ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid (HA) and SA. Specific ingredients are selected based on your skin type and skin concerns.

Aftercare

HydraFacial procedures have no downtime; patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately following treatment.

That said, you should refrain from applying makeup or using face masks for 12 to 24 hours after the procedure, but most people should be able to immediately follow their usual skin care regimen.

Japanese Facial £90

This ancient massage technique with its origins in Japanese health work, will improve facial appearance, remove toxins from the face and balance Ki or life force, improving overall health. Although both Japanese and Western facial massage focus on the condition of the skin and underlying muscular structure, this Japanese method also treats the basic energetic health of the body and skin tissue.

Rapid percussive movements, kneading, finger pressure and stroking techniques combined strategically with the Shiatsu meridians and Acupressure points, results in an invigorating facial treatment that will leave your skin glowing. It will stimulate the circulation bringing fresh nutrients and oxygen where needed whilst helping to drain toxins and improve muscle tone.

Dermaplaning Facial £75

Dermaplaning is an exfoliation treatment that involves gently scraping the face with a medical-grade scalpel to remove the very top layer of skin. The shave removes both dead skin cells and the fine vellus hairs that are known as peach fuzz, leaving the surface of the face ultra smooth. By stimulating the development of new skin cells, this type of exfoliation — sometimes called a scalpel facial — helps new skin rise to the surface. It leaves patients with a more youthful and dewy face, but without any harsh chemicals, excessive downtime, or pain.

What Are the Benefits of Dermaplaning?

One of the most commonly cited benefits of this treatment is the rested, rejuvenated appearance it gives patients. The skin on the face takes on a smoother and more youthful look, and patients appear more relaxed and less stressed. But scalpel facials also offer a number of other benefits as well, and some of them are in line with what you’d expect from far harsher facial treatments.

Rejuvenated Skin

Because it gets rid of dead skin cells and spurs the development of new cells, this treatment has a rejuvenating effect on the skin. The skin tone is evened out and hyperpigmentation — the darker spots that can appear on the skin — eases. Overall, the skin takes on a fresher and brighter appearance. Rough spots on the surface of the skin are smoothed over, and the patient’s complexion is brightened.

Fewer Fine Lines and Wrinkles

All of those new skin cells also help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, warding off some of the early signs of aging.

No More Peach Fuzz

Although scalpel facials are widely known for their rejuvenating effect on the skin, this treatment also tames the peach fuzz that so many patients are bothered by. Even though those fine hairs seem mostly invisible, you’ll be surprised at how good you’ look once they’ve been removed. Your face will practically glow, and your skin will feel good to the touch. Many patients say their face feels as soft and smooth as a baby’s bottom after treatment. One of the advantages of this treatment is that it works on darker, more visible facial hairs as well as the fine vellus hairs.

More Effective At-Home Skincare Regimen

The first several days after treatment are the ideal time to focus on your highest-quality serums, moisturizers and other elements of your at-home skincare routine. Your hairless face and super-clean pores will be able to fully absorb those treatments, and you’ll get the maximum benefit from them. Facials and other aesthetic services offered by our center are also especially effective in the first days after your treatment.

Cosmetics Will Go on Easily

Your cosmetics will also go on much more easily once your face is clear of peach fuzz and dead skin cells. You’ll shave minutes off of your morning makeup routine, and your face will look better once it’s been made up. Have you ever noticed how fine facial hairs tend to stand up and out once you’ve applied foundation and powder? You won’t have to worry about the appearance of those little hairs after you’ve undergone this treatment.

Cleaner, Smaller Pores

This treatment serves as a deep cleaning of the face that removes dirt, oils, and dead skin cells from the pores. Once your pores have been cleaned, they’ll appear smaller on the face. This contributes to a more youthful look since pore size is directly related to age.

Help for Acne Sufferers

If you’re undergoing acne treatment, or if you have acne scarring from previous outbreaks, a scalpel facial can be especially helpful. Although this treatment isn’t recommended for patients who have current, active breakouts, it can minimize the chance of future breakouts by cleaning your pores and getting rid of the dirt and oils that can sometimes become trapped in facial hair. This treatment can also ease some of the redness associated with past acne scars. And by clearing the face of hair and skin cells, it can improve the efficacy of acne medications.

Gentle and Relaxing

Although the idea of having your face shaved with a scalpel may sound intimidating, the treatment is amazingly relaxing and enjoyable. This is a gentle treatment that involves no harsh chemicals and no tugging, pulling, or scratching on the skin. Scalpel facials are completely non-invasive and are safe for all skin tones and types.

Microdermabrasion Facial £80

First of all, it’s important to understand what the procedure is and what it does to refresh your appearance. A benefits of microdermabrasion treatment gently removes the dull top layer of skin to reveal the fresh, younger-looking skin underneath.

It does this with a minimally abrasive device that scrubs your skin with very fine crystals, gently buffing the skin’s damaged top layer. As it does this, the device also purges the crystals and the dead skin cells that have built up. Microdermabrasion benefits allow the underlying layer of new skin to grow; it also sparks the production of collagen, restoring smoothness and firmness to your skin.

The overall result is a noticeably rejuvenated appearance.
