What is a Hydrafacial?

Hydrafacial is a non-invasive facial that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts and hydrates the skin in one session using vortex technology. At LuxSkin it takes around 30-45 minutes, has zero downtime, and leaves skin instantly clearer and glowing.

Using a gentle vortex tip, a Hydrafacial removes dead skin and unclogs pores while infusing hydrating serums and antioxidants, all at once. It suits almost every skin type, including sensitive skin.

You'll see results immediately, with no redness or peeling. For lasting clarity and glow, a session every 4-6 weeks (in line with your skin's renewal cycle) is ideal.

  • Deep-cleanses and unclogs pores
  • Exfoliates and hydrates in one session
  • Instant glow, zero downtime
  • Suitable for sensitive skin

I visit Luxskin Clinic regularly and always have had an amazing experience! Dr. Dineli is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, making me feel comfortable throughout my treatments. The clinic is neat and clean and offers a wide range of services. I tried the Hydrafacial and laser treatments, and the results were fantastic. I highly recommend Luxskin Clinic for anyone seeking top-notch skincare services. 🩷 She also offers many treatments for a good skincare routine, and I would recommend Dr. Dineli to anyone looking to enhance their skin health.

They were very accommodating to our inquiries during the call to book the appointment and even though we were running late they were patient and understanding. The hydro facial that we got is highly recommended, they do the routine meticulously and the results really show it. Our faces have never been smoother and soft.

I’ve been getting my acne treatments done here, mainly the photo facial and hydra facial, and the experience has been wonderful. The team is very friendly and professional. Dr. Dineli not only helped reduce my acne externally, but also focused on treating the root cause by recommending supplements for my PCOS, something I truly admire. Not every doctor takes the time to address internal causes, and I really appreciate this holistic approach, because topical treatments alone are never enough. It’s been about two months since I started my treatments, and my acne has reduced significantly. My acne scars have also improved so much. I’m extremely happy and thankful for the care and results. Highly recommended! πŸ’›

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Every 4 to 6 weeks is ideal for maintaining clear, hydrated, glowing skin. That matches your skin's natural renewal cycle, and results build with regular sessions. Before a big event, a single session a few days beforehand gives an instant glow.

No. A Hydrafacial is painless and most people find it relaxing. The vortex tip feels like a cool, smooth wand gliding over the skin with light suction. There are no needles and no harsh scrubbing.

None. You can return to work, wear makeup and carry on with your day immediately, which is why it is popular before events. Skin may look slightly flushed for an hour or so at most.

The instant glow and hydration typically last 5 to 7 days or longer. The deeper benefits, such as clearer pores and smoother texture, build cumulatively when sessions are repeated every 4 to 6 weeks.

Yes. The treatment is gentle and fully adjustable, so suction strength and serums are tailored to your skin at Luxskin. It clears congestion without the irritation of traditional extractions, and mild purging in acne prone skin settles quickly as the skin clears.

A Hydrafacial uses a medical grade device to cleanse, exfoliate, extract and infuse serums in one controlled treatment, with consistent results every time. Manual facials depend on hand extractions and generic products, and often cause more redness for less visible change.

The core cleansing and hydration steps are generally considered safe in pregnancy, but some acids and serums are best avoided. Tell us if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and the protocol will be customised for you.
