What it does

Where it lands

A device that in one treatment cleanses, loosens the top layer, empties the pores with suction and then puts active ingredients back in. It works on the upper layers, and that is exactly why you see the result straight away and have no recovery time.

The proportions are schematic; the depths beside them are not. Usual values for facial skin. The thickness differs per place on the body; on the back the dermis is a multiple of this. How deep we work in your case depends on the setting the therapist chooses.

What happens

Acts on

The stratum corneum

The treatment works on the outer layer of dead skin cells; the deeper layers are not treated in the same way.

In the appointment

Every treatment starts with cleansing, and that is done by hand. Make-up and sebum come off and the therapist checks that everything is gone, because a device or an active ingredient that works on a layer never reaches your skin.

HydraFacial, during the treatment

How it feels

What you notice in the chair

You lie back and the tip passes over your face in strips. What you feel is mostly the suction: a light pulling that is stronger around your nose and chin than on your cheeks. Pain is not part of it, although you clearly notice where a pore is blocked.

In between, the therapist changes the tip and the fluid. The last step feels cooler than the rest, because serum rather than suction alone reaches your skin then.

Afterwards you are done straight away. Your skin is pink and feels tight, and that settles within an hour. Make-up is fine the same day, although it is a waste of the result to cover it right away.
