HydraFacial – South Australian Style Magazine

The silly season can wreak havoc on our skin. Taking steps to treat your pores to a little TLC before an event can make a world of difference – but forget regular facials. Enter the celebrity treatment of the moment – the HydraFacial. We asked Laser Hair Removal at The Bay and On Unley to explain the hype.

Tell us what a HydraFacial involves and how it’s different from other facials.

The HydraFacial is a multi-step facial treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection. Unlike regular facials, which often focus on one or two aspects of skincare, the HydraFacial uses a patented technology that addresses multiple concerns simultaneously. It’s unique in its ability to deeply cleanse, extract impurities, and deliver potent serums for hydration and protection in one session. It really does give skin an incredible glow and we regularly recommend the treatment for clients who are preparing for a special event.

How should I prep my skin before treatment?

To prepare for a HydraFacial, it’s recommended to maintain a consistent skincare routine. Avoid using harsh exfoliants or undergoing other facial treatments, such as chemical peels, in the week leading up to your HydraFacial. Ensure your skin is clean and free from make-up or lotions before the session for optimal results.

What skincare issues does the HydraFacial address?

The HydraFacial is versatile and can address various skincare needs, including fine lines and wrinkles, elasticity and firmness, skin tone evenness, texture, brown spots, congested pores, and enlarged pores. Its customisable nature allows professionals to tailor the treatment to meet individual skin concerns.

Is there any downtime or pain involved?

The HydraFacial is known for its gentle and non-invasive nature. Typically, there’s no downtime associated with the treatment, and most individuals experience minimal discomfort. It’s often described as a soothing and relaxing experience without pain or significant irritation. After the session, some individuals might have a slight pinkish hue on the skin, which generally subsides within a few hours.

How long do the results last?

Results from a HydraFacial can vary from person-to-person. Many notice an immediate improvement in skin texture and appearance. With regular sessions and proper skincare maintenance, the effects of a HydraFacial can last for several weeks. However, consistent sessions are recommended for sustained results as part of a comprehensive skincare regime.

We sent influencer Lucinda Nicholas for a skin pick-me-up at Laser Hair Removal at the Bay.

“When I arrived at Laser Hair Removal I was met by Veronica, the owner and a skilled skin professional with 20 years’ experience as a HydraFacial consultant.

We started with a consult, where Veronica asked me a range of questions relating to my skin, including my skin history, the products that I currently use (morning and night) and any skin concerns I had. She also walked me through every step of the HydraFacial treatment so I knew what to expect throughout the service.

It was now time to get started. Veronica began by double cleansing my face to take off my make-up and to ensure my skin was clean before starting the treatment. She then used a patented spiral tip to exfoliate the skin and clear all of the blocked pores. This step was completely painless and felt so soothing on the skin.

Veronica highlighted the importance of not forgetting your neck and décolletage when it comes to skincare. My mum always reminded me of this, so I’ve known how essential this is since I was a young girl. I was pleased to hear that Veronica included these areas in her services. Once my pores were clean, Veronica began to infuse my skin with a Vortex Fusion, including antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid to help hydrate the skin.

Veronica talked me through each step of the treatment, including the tools and products she used. It made me feel so comfortable and confident that I was in good hands, especially as this was the first time that I’d had a HydraFacial. I also felt well-informed about how to treat my skin post-treatment and improve it in the future.

By the end of the treatment, my skin had an instant glow and felt so soft and hydrated. I could see the difference in my pores and how much they had reduced in appearance. There was no downtime, so I could continue my day as usual.

It’s now been one week post-treatment, and I am delighted with the results. I feel more confident going make-up-free and when I do wear make-up it sits on my skin much nicer than it did before. This experience really has reaffirmed to me how important it is to see a skin care professional such as Veronica regularly.”
