HydraFacial
Also known as: hydrating facial, hydradermabrasion
A HydraFacial-style treatment uses a device to cleanse, exfoliate and infuse the skin with serums in a single session, with no downtime for most people.
What it is
HydraFacial is a brand name for a device-based treatment; salons may also offer similar hydrating facials under other names. The wand cleanses, gently exfoliates and applies serums.
What to expect
Sessions often last 30 to 60 minutes. Most people return to normal activity straight away, though skin can feel tight or look pink for a short time.
What to ask before booking
Ask whether the practitioner is trained on the device, how many sessions are suggested, and whether it is suitable for your skin condition.
