A Hydrafacial is a device-assisted treatment combining suction with serum delivery. What separates it from a classic facial is how the cleansing happens.
A classic facial
Steam, manual extraction, mask and massage. The specialist's hands and eyes decide everything. On congested skin needing genuine deep cleansing it is still the most effective method. The trade-off: a day or two of redness is possible.
A Hydrafacial
The device simultaneously dissolves dead skin, draws out pore content with suction and delivers a hydrating serum. No manual squeezing, so almost no redness. You can go straight from the treatment to an event — hence its "before the big day" reputation.
Which suits you?
*Congested pores with built-up blackheads:* a classic facial or a dedicated extraction treatment. A Hydrafacial clears surface congestion but doesn't replace manual extraction for hardened comedones.
*Tired, dull, dehydrated skin:* Hydrafacial. This is where its instant glow is most obvious.
*Sensitive, redness-prone skin:* Hydrafacial is safer, because there is no mechanical trauma.
*On a regular care programme:* alternating the two is most efficient. One session for deep cleansing, one for hydration and renewal.
How many sessions?
You'll see a difference after one, but for lasting results we suggest a course of four to six sessions three to four weeks apart. With long gaps the skin returns to its former balance.
Afterwards
Avoid direct sun for 24 hours, wear sunscreen, and skip heavy actives (retinol, strong acids) that evening. The skin has already been renewed; there's no need to load it further.
A Hydrafacial requires the device, so it happens at our locations; the classic facial is what we bring to your home.
