HydraFacial

The skin is the largest organ of the body and sometimes we need that extra helping hand to keep it looking its very best. The natural ageing process, environmental stresses and certain lifestyle choices can all take their toll on our skin, leaving it dry and dehydrated, oily and congested or generally lacklustre. There are lots of effective in-clinic treatments, nowadays to rehabilitate the skin, but many can involve discomfort and lengthy downtime to really get results, something not all our patients, here at Bank MediSpa in Hale, Cheshire, are happy to undergo. This is why we have invested in HydraFacial, a non-surgical, pain-free and zero-downtime, skin revitalising treatment that you can have every month for beautifully clear, smooth and silky skin.

Hydrafacial skin treatment

What is HydraFacial?

HydraFacial is a device-led hydradermabrasion system which offers deep cleansing, physical exfoliation, pore extraction, intense hydration and antioxidant protection in one treatment. There is no clinical or physical downtime to this treatment and this is why it has been referred to as a ‘lunchtime’ treatment, by so many of our patients who love it. They can have a HydraFacial and then return to work without looking as if they have had ‘work’, just clearer, tighter and smoother skin. The HydraFacial system is the perfect treatment to have before a night out or special event as makeup can be applied immediately afterwards.

FAQs

How does HydraFacial work?

HydraFacial utilizes patented vortex technology which deeply and physically cleanses your skin. It also delivers highly-potent botanical ingredients, containing ‘super-nutrients’ for the skin, such as:-

• Hyaluronic acid (HA)
• Horse chestnut seed extract
• Red algae extract
• Copper
• Zinc
• Magnesium
• Peptides
• Antioxidants.

These bespoke cocktails hydrate, replenish and rejuvenate the skin whilst counteracting skin damage which has been caused by pollution, excessive sun-exposure and the natural ageing process.

The HydraFacial treatment comes in 2 treatments - ‘Core’ and ‘Skin Health’. The ‘Core’ treatment comes in 3-stages and takes around 30 minutes. The ‘Skin Health’ regime adds an additional 2 steps - detoxification and rejuvenation, which further boosts your skin for that extra glow and smoother texture.

Will HydraFacial treat my specific skin concern?

HydraFacial can treat the following:-

• Fine lines and wrinkles

Am I suitable for HydraFacial?

Because HydraFacial is a non-invasive and extra-gentle treatment which requires no recovery time or aftercare protocols, virtually anyone can benefit from the treatment. However, we will always ask that you attend a pre-treatment consultation at Bank MediSpa, so that we can assess your individual skin concerns, discuss your medical history and ensure that HydraFacial will be both safe and effective for your skincare needs.

Does HydraFacial hurt?

HydraFacial is pain-free and requires no anaesthetic. There is no visible or clinical downtime and you can return to your daily activities, immediately after your treatment.

When will I see the results from HydraFacial?

You will be able to see immediate results after your HydraFacial, which will last around 4 weeks. We recommend that, to maintain results, a once monthly treatment is carried out.

How long will the results last?

The results from a HydraFacial treatment, typically last around 4 weeks. However, if you continue to have monthly sessions, you will see continued improvement of your skin’s tone, texture and elasticity. If you also take good care of your skin, by using sunscreen and a cosmeceutical skincare regime as well as maintaining a healthy lifestyle, this will only help your skin to be more clear, smooth and resilient.
