2. How long does a HydroFacial yreatment take?
We have different types of treatment available, so depending on what you book in for, treatment itself will typically take between 60 and 80 minutes, depending on the treatment selected.
3. Is there any downtime or pain involved?
No, the HydroFacial treatment is comfortable and relaxing with immediate benefits. You can return to your normal activities straight away.
4. How many treatment do you need to have to see results?
You will see immediate effects after a single treatment, however specific skin concerns (e.g acne, or pigmentation, skin ageing) are likely to require several treatments for full benefit.
For optimum results in the medium to long-term, we would recommend a course of treatments, with the number depending on your skin condition.
For genreral skin health HydroFacial is best every 4-6 weeks combined with an appropriate home care regime of medical grade skincare products.
