What are the benefits of hydrodermabrasion?

Hydrodermabrasion deeply cleans your pores, removes dead skin cells, and hydrates your skin at the same time. It improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, brightens dull skin, and helps with blackheads and acne. You'll notice smoother, fresher-looking skin after just one session.

Are there any side effects of hydrodermabrasion?

Hydrodermabrasion is very gentle, so side effects are rare. Some people may notice mild redness right after the treatment, but it usually fades within a few hours. There's no pain, peeling, or long recovery time.

Can I get a hydrodermabrasion facial while pregnant?

Yes, hydrodermabrasion is a safe option during pregnancy because it doesn't use harsh chemicals or strong peels. However, we always recommend speaking to your doctor before starting any new treatment.

Does a hydrodermabrasion facial hurt?

No, it doesn't hurt at all. Most people find the treatment very relaxing and even say it feels like a cool, gentle massage.

When will I see the facial results?

You'll notice brighter, cleaner, and more hydrated skin right after your first session. Your skin will continue to improve over the next few days as the active serums work deeper.

How long do the results last for?

Results typically last 5 to 7 days after the first facial. With regular sessions, your skin stays clearer and more balanced for longer.

How many treatments are recommended to see results?

You'll see a glow after one session, but for longer-lasting improvements, we recommend a series of 4 to 6 treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart.

What skin types are best suited for hydrodermabrasion?

This treatment is safe and effective for all skin types and can be performed on any skin colour from light to dark, without any down time.

What's the difference between hydrodermabrasion and microdermabrasion?

Hydrodermabrasion uses water and oxygen to exfoliate and hydrate the skin at the same time, making it gentler and more suitable for sensitive skin. Microdermabrasion, on the other hand, uses abrasive crystals or a diamond tip to remove dead skin cells, which can feel more intense. Both treatments improve skin texture, but hydrodermabrasion also delivers moisture and nutrients during the process, reducing irritation and boosting hydration.

How many hydrodermabrasion treatments will I need?

Most clients see noticeable results after just one session, but for long-term improvement in skin tone, texture, and hydration, a series of 4 to 6 hydrodermabrasion treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart is usually recommended. Your skin goals and condition will guide the ideal treatment plan, which can be discussed during your consultation.

Who is not a good candidate for hydrodermabrasion?

Hydrodermabrasion is safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with active skin infections, open wounds, or severe rosacea. Those with chronic skin conditions or who are using strong topical medications (like Accutane) should consult their skin therapist before treatment to avoid irritation or adverse reactions.

Cosmelan Treatment

Cumulative sun exposure and natural ageing can contribute to the development of uneven pigmentation over time. While cosmetic products may help temporarily mask discoloration, professional depigmentation treatments such as Cosmelan are designed to help address excess pigmentation at a deeper level. This treatment works by helping to regulate melanin activity and reduce the appearance of dark patches, supporting a more even-looking skin tone.
Cosmelan is a non-invasive depigmentation treatment commonly used to manage pigmentation concerns associated with melasma, sun damage, ageing, and post-acne marks. Suitability varies between individuals, and a consultation with a qualified clinician is required to assess skin type, treatment suitability, and expected outcomes.

How It Works

Melanin production in the skin is influenced by factors such as sun exposure and hormonal changes, which can contribute to pigmentation and sunspots.
Cosmelan is a professional depigmentation treatment that helps regulate pigmentation activity using clinically used ingredients. This supports the gradual reduction of visible pigmentation and helps limit the development of new dark patches over time. Some components of the treatment also support natural skin cell turnover, contributing to a more even-looking skin tone.
As part of the treatment process, a mask is applied and worn for a period determined during consultation, typically between 4 to 6 hours.
Results vary between individuals. Visible changes may be noticed within a few weeks, with continued improvement over several months depending on skin response and aftercare.
