What is a HydraFacial Treatment?
A HydraFacial is a non-invasive deep-cleansing skin treatment. Like a traditional facial, the procedure detoxifies, exfoliates and hydrates the skin to improve the overall tone, texture and appearance. It promotes collagen production, stimulates cell turnover, and minimises breakouts.
However, a HydraFacial provides a much deeper and more thorough clean than a regular facial, and so it produces a much more dramatic result. HydraFacials can erase wrinkles, fine lines, large pores, acne, dullness, blackheads and other skin imperfections. The treatment tightens the skin by restoring elasticity to loose and drooping areas, and evens out the skin tone by targeting brown spots.
Additionally, the results of a HydraFacial last much longer than a regular facial. This is because HydraFacials improve the overall health of the skin: the treatment supplies the skin with antioxidants, nutrients and natural hydrators such as hyaluronic acid, which enables the skin to continue rejuvenating itself even after the treatment is complete.
How Does a HydraFacial Treatment Work?
A HydraFacial Treatment consists of the following six stages:

A HydraFacial Treatment consists of the following six stages:
Detoxification (Lymphatic Drainage)
Cleanse and Exfoliate
Red Light Rejuvenation
Extraction
Now that the skin is clean and bright, the pimples and blackheads can be removed. Salicylic acid and honey are used to draw these impurities out from the skin.
Hydration
Brightening
What are the Benefits of a HydraFacial Treatment?
It Improves the Overall Feel and Appearance of the Skin
The primary benefit of a HyrdraFacial is, of course, that it improves the appearance of the skin. The deep exfoliation adds a natural brightness to the face, whilst the moisturising serum increases the tightness of the skin, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and sagginess.
It Clears Away Spots and Pimples
A HydraFacial uses antioxidants, peptides and essential oils to unclog pores and completely clear away dirt, impurities and dead skin cells. In doing so, the treatment kills the bacteria which cause acne breakouts and erases spots and pimples from the skin.
It Clears Away Blackheads
Your skin is covered in tiny hair follicles. When the follicle becomes clogged with dead skin, dirt and oil, a small dark bump - called a blackhead - appears. A HydraFacial treatment deeply exfoliates the skin and unplugs the pores, which clears away blackheads.
It Reverses the Effects of Ageing
A traditional facial from a spa will clean and moisturise the skin, but it won’t remove fine lines and wrinkles. A HydraFacial, meanwhile, stimulates the production of collagen in the skin. Collagen is a protein which helps the skin to remain strong and elastic, but - as we age - we produce less and less of it, which causes the skin to become frail, saggy and wrinkled. By restoring collagen to the skin, a HydraFacial clears away wrinkles and tightens sagging skin - thereby reversing the effects of ageing.
It Evens Out the Skin Tone
Hyperpigmentation is the term for an uneven skin tone: it is when areas of your skin are darker or lighter than other areas. If you have sun spots, age spots, melasma, then you have hyperpigmentation. A HydraFacial treatment will heal damaged skin to fix hyperpigmentation and create an even skin tone.
The Results are Long-Lasting
The results of a HydraFacial typically last for 4 to 6 weeks. These results can be maximised if you stick to a healthy diet, refrain from smoking, drink lots of water, and protect yourself from the sun.
It’s 100% Non-Invasive
A HydraFacial is a completely non-surgical treatment, and it doesn’t involve the use of any needles or injections. This makes it a completely non-invasive procedure.

Who is a Suitable Candidate for a HydraFacial Treatment?
HydraFacials are suitable for patients of all ages and skin types. Adults with wrinkles, dry and sagging skin or pimples – or teenagers with acne – will benefit most from this treatment. The only people for whom a HydraFacial is not advisable are pregnant women, or patients who are currently suffering from sunburn, active rashes, or rosacea.
What Conditions Can a HydraFacial Treat?
You do not have to be suffering from a particular skin condition to be an appropriate candidate for a HydraFacial treatment. In fact, young people with healthy skin can benefit from a HydraFacial, as the procedure will help to protect the skin and prevent the emergence of fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin as you age.
Nevertheless, if you suffer from one of the following skin problems or conditions, a HydraFacial will be especially beneficial for you:

Nevertheless, if you suffer from one of the following skin problems or conditions, a HydraFacial will be especially beneficial for you:
Acne
A HydraFacial will clear away dirt, dead skin, and harmful bacteria from your skin, purging it of spots and pimples.
Hyperpigmentation or an Uneven Skin Tone
This treatment deeply exfoliates the skin, which removes the damaged and discoloured outer layer and brings forth a glowing, healthy layer of even skin.
Wrinkles, Fine Lines and Furrows
A HydraFacial restores firmness and flexibility to the skin, whilst hydrating it with healthy moisture. The resulting increase in strength and elasticity washes away wrinkles, fine lines and furrows.
Skin Laxity, or Sagging Skin
As we age, the body produces less and less collagen and elastin. These natural proteins are responsible for maintaining the skin’s elasticity and firmness. Consequently, the depletion of these proteins can cause the facial ligaments to become loose, and facial contours - such as the cheekbones and the eyebrows - drop and droop as a result. A HydraFacial treatment restores strength and plumpness to the skin, which helps to tighten and lift sagging areas.
Enlarged Pores
When the pores become clogged with dirt, oil and dead skin, they increase in size. A HydraFacial deeply exfoliates and clears the skin, which unclogs the pores. As a result, the pores shrink in size, which makes the skin smoother in texture and cleaner in appearance.
Dry Skin
Moisture is essential for the skin. It keeps it strong, flexible, clear and healthy. A HydraFacial not only floods the skin with healthy moisture, but boosts its natural ability to retain it, leading to softer, silkier skin.
Dull Skin
HydraFacials infuse the skin with antioxidants, nutrients and vital botanical ingredients. In addition to improving the overall health of the skin, this adds a youthful glow.
Redness
By boosting the health and strength of the skin, a HydraFacial treatment will help to fight redness and return your skin tone to its natural shade.
What Should You Avoid Doing After a HydraFacial Treatment?
Clients should avoid washing their face for 6 hours after a HydraFacial treatment. Keeping the face dry during this time (by avoiding the shower, for example) will protect your skin and help you to achieve optimal results.
Additionally, clients should avoid saunas, sun beds and vigorous exercise for two days following a HydraFacial treatment. This is because sweating can damage the results of the procedure. Similarly, patients should avoid swimming for 48 hours after the treatment, as the chlorine, germs and bacteria in a swimming pool can interfere with the results of the treatment.
Finally, clients can optimise the results of their HydraFacial treatment by refraining from smoking, drinking alcohol, and excessive sun exposure in the weeks following the procedure. Drinking plenty of fluids, eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly will also maximise the results.
Different Types of HydraFacial Treatment
Different Types of HydraFacial Treatment
A Traditional HydraFacial
A traditional HydraFacial treatment consists of the six stages listed above. The procedure uses lymphatic drainage to suck harmful toxins out of the skin, which prepares it for a deep-cleansing using a health-boosting serum. The skin is then exfoliated using a vacuum-based abrasion tip, which extracts oil, dirt and dead skin from the pores, causing them to shrink down to their natural size.
The skin is then given sparkle by a glycolic and salicylic solution, before spots, pimples, acne and blackheads are all drawn out and removed. Once the skin has been deep-cleaned, it can be moisturised using a unique collagen-boosting serum, before finally being exposed to red and infrared light, which will further boost the volume of collagen and vital nutrients in the skin.
Clients will be able to see and feel the results of a HydraFacial immediately upon leaving the clinic. The skin will be clear, silky-soft and sparkling. Arranging regular HydraFacial treatments will ensure that your skin remains supple and elastic, whilst enabling you to maintain a youthful, healthy glow.
A Préime DermaFacial
A Préime DermaFacial is the most advanced type of HydraFacial yet. In fact, it is the most sophisticated, state-of-the-art facial rejuvenation treatment currently available.
The treatment utilises the latest developments and breakthroughs in skincare science to deliver a modern, high-tech HydraFacial experience. A machine called the Préime DermaFacial smart device – which we introduce in depth below – is used to deliver these luxury, avant-garde and bespoke facial treatments.

A Préime DermaFacial
A Préime DermaFacial is the most advanced type of HydraFacial yet. In fact, it is the most sophisticated, state-of-the-art facial rejuvenation treatment currently available.
The treatment utilises the latest developments and breakthroughs in skincare science to deliver a modern, high-tech HydraFacial experience. A machine called the Préime DermaFacial smart device – which we introduce in depth below – is used to deliver these luxury, avant-garde and bespoke facial treatments.
Our Préime DermaFacial Smart Device
This pioneering piece of technology consists of the following five new skincare technologies:
The AquaB
This apparatus combines high-tech spiral movement with vacuum technology to cleanse and exfoliate simultaneously, whilst also controlling the size of the pores. As it moves, the AquaB also perforates the skin with nutrients and active ingredients, which nourish and renew the skin, preparing it for the next stage of the facial treatment.
The VibroX
This device is a groundbreaking development in microdermabrasion technology. The VibroX stimulates cell regeneration by emitting red LED light as it slides across the skin, which brings a new layer of clear, healthy sparkling skin to the surface. In doing so, the device creates an even skin tone and soft texture. As it moves, the VibroX also uses vibrational frequency to increase the elasticity of muscle fibres and tighten the skin.
On top of this, the device also penetrates the skin with CO2 microbubbles, which increases blood flow. The blood is responsible for transporting oxygen and vital nutrients to different areas of the body. By accelerating the speed at which the blood moves, the VibroX increases the amount of oxygen and nutrients that the skin receives. Consequently, the skin is bathed in healthy oxygen, which gives it the energy it needs to reverse the effects of ageing, eradicate spots and other imperfections, and renew itself naturally.
The MicroT
This device uses microcurrent technology to lift, tone and tighten the skin. The device emits tiny electrical impulses, which build up and define the muscles in the face. This raises, tones and adds definition to the facial contours, such as the cheekbones, which creates a more youthful look.
The MicroT also washes away wrinkles by restoring elasticity to the skin. The tiny electrical currents emitted by the device stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. These are natural proteins, which keep the skin springy, flexible and soft. As we age, the body produces less and less collagen and elastin, causing the skin to become loose, saggy and frail. By restoring these proteins, the MicroT tightens and rejuvenates and softens the skin, and this increase in elasticity causes wrinkles and fine lines to dissolve away.
The Collagen+
This apparatus uses 1MHz radio frequency energy to heat up the skin to a temperature of the skin to 39-42 degrees celsius. This elicits the natural production of collagen and elastin, which – as we discussed above – are natural proteins that reinforce the firmness, flexibility and tightness of the skin. Thus, the Collagen+ nourishes the skin with collagen and elastin, which increases the softness, suppleness, and overall health of the skin.
The UltraB
This device completes the Préime DermaFacial procedure. The UltraB uses 1 MHz high-frequency thermal ultrasound technology to facilitate the skin’s absorption of active ingredients. As a result, the skin is able to retain more moisture than it otherwise would.
When the skin is sufficiently hydrated, it is clear, soft, elastic, and glowing. When we’re young, it is easy for the skin to retain moisture, which is why young people tend to have soft, tight and flexible skin. As we age, however, the skin is able to retain less water, causing it to sag, droop, and become frail. The UltraB reverses the effects of ageing by restoring the skin’s ability to retain a large volume of moisture, which creates soft, supple and healthy skin, with a youthful glow.

Common HydraFacial Treatments Questions
Is a HydraFacial permanent?
No, a HydraFacial treatment will not produce permanent results. Patients are recommended to arrange a HydraFacial once a month if they want to maintain firm, glowing skin.
How long do the results of a HydraFacial last for?
How often should you get a HydraFacial treatment?
How long does a HydraFacial take?
The time that it takes to complete a HydraFacial treatment will vary from patient to patient, as it depends on the initial cleanliness of the patient’s skin. In general, though, it takes between 30 to 60 minutes to complete the treatment.
What is a HydraFacial best for?
Regardless of your age, skin type or skin condition, a HydraFacial will improve the clearness, brightness, softness and overall health and appearance of your skin.
If you are young, a HydraFacial will help to protect your skin and prevent the emergence of wrinkles and sagging skin as you get older. Additionally, clients who suffer from acne, spots, blackheads or congestion will find that a HydraFacial helps to clear the skin. Similarly, clients who have wrinkles, fine lines and skin laxity will find that the treatment tightens, firms and lifts their face.
Is a HydraFacial Treatment painful?
No, HydraFacials are not painful, though patients may experience some mild discomfort during the extraction stage (when pimples and blackheads are removed). Besides this, most patients actually find a HydraFacial to be a relaxing experience, just like a regular facial.
Are there any side effects?
The vast majority of clients do not experience any side effects after a HydraFacial treatment. In some cases, the procedure can cause redness, but this will disappear within 2 to 3 days.
Is a local or general anaesthetic used during this procedure?
Do HydraFacials clear the skin?
Yes, HydraFacials deeply exfoliate the skin (the exfoliation is far more thorough and cleansing than a regular facial). This unplugs the pores and cleans the skin of spots, blackheads, dirt, dead skin cells and other impurities - leaving you with a clear, healthy glow.
What is the difference between a HydraFacial and a Préime DermaFacial?
A HydraFacial is an advanced facial treatment. Whilst traditional facials cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise the skin, HydraFacials utilise developments in dermatological research and technology to infuse the pores with antioxidants, nutrients and active ingredients, which improves the appearance and overall health of the skin.
A Préime DermaFacial, meanwhile, is an advanced HydraFacial. It is the latest breakthrough in skincare science. This high-tech treatment uses a machine called the Préime DermaFacial smart device (which Aventus Clinic has recently invested in) to deliver state-of-the-art, cutting-edge HydraFacial treatments. This device increases tissue oxygenation levels, which immerses the skin in nutrients and energy, enabling it to heal itself naturally. As a result, the skin starts to erase wrinkles, fine lines, spots, blackheads and other imperfections, whilst tightening, lifting and rejuvenating itself.
