The HydraFacial: the four-step treatment that cleanses and hydrates skin deep down. Non-invasive, painless and with no downtime, it suits every skin type, men and women alike.
Skin is the largest organ in the human body. Spread over all that surface, it carries a dense supply of blood vessels and sensory receptors, which is why reading it — tone, colour, texture, elasticity, resilience — so often reveals the state of someone's general health. A fresh face, healthy skin, a glowing complexion: all of it is within reach, as long as you build daily rituals that fit you. That means the way you live, what you eat, and regular care.
The cell cycle, and what changes with time
In young skin, cells take around 28 days to travel to the surface and form the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the epidermis — a build-up of dead cells that can leave skin feeling smothered. Mature skin takes longer, and gathers more dead cells along the way. UV exposure, poor sleep and diet all slow that renewal further.
The older we get, the less skin can regenerate and defend itself. Years of accumulated UV exposure make the complexion patchier, and the first signs of ageing — fine lines, wrinkles, a duller glow — show up as early as your thirties. Preventive care still does a great deal to keep skin radiant, healthy and young.
The HydraFacial, a treatment in 4 steps
It is a patented treatment that cleanses and hydrates skin deep down, delivered through a handpiece whose different tips match each stage.
Cleansing and exfoliation
From around thirty, slower cell renewal lets dead cells pile up, stops skin breathing and blocks the pores. Cleansing and exfoliation lift those dead cells away.
Peel
Next comes a gentle glycolic acid peel: the chemical triggers a limited, controlled breakdown of the epidermis and the surface layers of the dermis, priming the skin for the extraction of impurities, comedones and blackheads.
Extraction
Impurities of every kind are drawn out by automated suction, and the pores are finally clear.
Hydration
Why it works
The treatment suits men and women alike: it leaves skin healthy and fresh with no unwanted effects, since nothing about it is invasive or painful and it asks for no recovery time. A session runs from 30 to 60 minutes depending on the diagnosis and what the skin needs, and takes place with a dermatologist or an aesthetic physician.
