Hydrofacial

What is a Hydrofacial: A Hydrofacial has 8-step technology to provide a deep skin cleaning experience, with brightening, tightening, and lifting benefits.

Step 1 - HYDROPEEL 1 - Gentle water-pressured suction with an alpha hydroxy acid (chemical exfoliant), used to dissolve keratin and deeply cleanse pores. Removing blackheads and smoothing skin texture.

Step 2 - HYDROPEEL 2 - Gentle water-pressured suction with beta hydroxy acid (chemical exfoliant), used to remove comedones, and sebum and to deep cleanse inner pores. Used mainly on oily/congested areas and it has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.

Step 3 - Vitamin C infusion - Gentle water pressured suction with a vitamin c solution used to brighten and protect the skin.

Step 4 - SONIC WAND - Removes any remaining blackheads and sebum.

Step 5 - RADIOFREQUENCY - Radiofrequency technology uses low-energy radiation to heat the deep layer of your dermis. This heat stimulates collagen improving signs of wrinkles and sagging skin.

Step 6 - ULTRASOUND - Ultrasound technology helps with product penetration and the formation of new collagen from the micro-massage created in the tissues.

Step 7 - OXYGEN THERAPY - Increases blood flow and cell regeneration. Helps to minimise free radical damage.

Step 8 - CRYOFACIAL - Chills the skin down reducing inflammation and supporting skin tightening and product penetration.
