Award-winning HydraFacial is the ultimate skin detoxifying and deep cleansing experience which rejuvenates your skin with active botanical ingredients. The treatment reveals glowing, refreshed and radiant skin with immediate results. HydraFacial is a treatment that everyone can enjoy and is suitable for all skin types and concerns.
HydraFacial will give you instant and visible results that you can see and feel after each treatment. This patented technology follows a six-step treatment process – Detox, Cleanse and Exfoliation, Brightening, Extraction, Hydration and finally Rejuvenation. Dead skin cells and impurities are removed and the skin is hydrated with antioxidants and peptides.
What active ingredients are used?
HydraFacial uses advanced, patented vortex technology to deeply cleanse the skin and effectively deliver botanical ingredients containing nutrients such as hyaluronic acid, horse chestnut seed extract, red algae extract, zinc and magnesium peptides. HydraFacial also delivers powerful antioxidants to counteract damage from free radicals such as pollution, sun exposure and stress which can accelerate the ageing process
Which HydraFacial is right for you?
At sk:n we offer six different HydraFacial treatments, one of which is exclusive to sk:n.
Skin Health For Life Treatment Involves the six key stages: Detox, Cleansing and Exfoliating, Brightening, Extraction, Hydration and Rejuvenation. This treatment will help boost hydration, refresh dull skin and protect against environmental factors, leaving your skin looking radiant.
sk:n Signature HydraFacial Treatment
Exclusive to sk:n, this is an intensive 30-minute treatment which will immediately give you brighter and clearer skin whilst reducing oil. The treatment is tailored to either target fine lines and wrinkles with Dermabuilder which is proven to stimulate collagen and reduce wrinkle depth, or effectively treat pigmentation with Britenol.
Dermabuilder Treatment
Helps tackle wrinkles without the use of injectables. This treatment involves the same six stages as Skin Health for Life but also includes an anti-ageing serum. The anti-ageing serum targets fine lines and deep wrinkles for a youthful, plumping effect. See instant improvement in skin elasticity and overall complexion.
If you’re suffering from acne, a HydraFacial alongside your other treatments can really help. We offer two types of HydraFacial procedures specifically for people with acne:
Acne HydraFacial
Involves the same six stages as Skin Health for Life but also includes a Glysal Peel. This treatment will help to improve the appearance of acne and acne scarring and regulate oil levels caused by excess sebum. The strength of the peel will be tailored to your needs.
Acne Pro HydraFacial helps to clear existing acne and prevent future breakouts. An Isolaz laser is used to kill acne-causing bacteria, while a vacuum lifts remaining dirt and debris from the affected area, thoroughly cleansing each pore. The Acne Pro treatment is only available at sk:n as we are the only skin clinic to combine HydraFacial with Isolaz.
