What is a HydraFacial?

Unlike other facials, HydraFacial is performed using a specialised device that extracts impurities from deep within the pores, whilst also moisturising and exfoliating the skin. At the end of the treatment, we use LED light therapy to reduce redness and further stimulate collagen production.

During a HydraFacial treatment at Aesthetics of Essex, your skin is replenished with essential nutrients, including hyaluronic acid and antioxidants. These help to tone your face, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and support long-term skin health.

If you struggle with acne, blackheads, scarring or clogged pores, a HydraFacial could be a good option for your skin concerns. Excess oils that contribute to acne breakouts are removed, and the deep cleansing, salicylic acid and glycolic acid work together to help improve the appearance of facial scarring over time.

All of our treatments are carried out by fully qualified and experienced clinicians who know exactly what they’re doing.

What to expect during your appointment

Unlike traditional facials or chemical peels, a HydraFacial treatment involves no uncomfortable squeezing or peeling. It feels more like a light, relaxing massage.

A specially formulated draining technique helps increase circulation to the skin and eliminate toxins.

Your skin is cleansed and exfoliated, with dead skin cells and impurities gently removed for a deep cleansing result.

A gentle brightening agent containing a solution of glycolic and salicylic acid helps to loosen any remaining debris from your pores.

Blackheads are then gently extracted using honey extract and salicylic acid, using suction rather than manual squeezing, so you can see the impurities collected as you go.

Your skin is then plumped and hydrated with a blend of hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and peptides.

Finally, LED light therapy is used to stimulate collagen production and reduce any redness, leaving your skin glowing.

Redness for around an hour after treatment is common. We typically advise against wearing makeup for the rest of the day while your skin feels soft, but other than that, you can get on with your normal routine straight away.

Why Choose Aesthetics of Essex for HydraFacial

A good facial should leave your skin feeling better than when you walked in. At Aesthetics of Essex, HydraFacial treatment sits within a wider approach to skin health, rather than being treated as a one-off pampering session.

If your skin concerns run deeper than a facial can reach, such as more stubborn scarring or texture, our team can also talk you through other options like Dermapen microneedling. So, you leave with the right plan for your unique needs.

If your skin needs some hydration and rejuvenation, book your HydraFacial today. Call any of our Upminster, Rayleigh or Maldon clinics, or get in touch online to arrange your free consultation.
