HydraFacial

The HydraFacial is a non-invasive hydra-dermabrasion procedure that uses patented technology to cleanse, detoxify, rejuvenate, and hydrate the skin with immediate results and long-lasting benefits.

At The Private Clinic we offer 3 types of HydraFacial treatments at our London Harley Street clinic.

  • Skin Health For Life – This is the 6 stage HydraFacial treatment.
  • Prescriptive HydraFacial – This treatment will include a prescribed booster serum.
  • HydraGenesis – This is the 6 stage HydraFacial treatment combined with our Laser Genesis treatment.

Why choose HydraFacial?

What sets the HydraFacial apart from other procedures is the patented spiral tip design of the HydraFacial Vortex-Fusion serum delivery system. The unique spiral design delivers the multiple steps of a HydraFacial treatment which cleanses, exfoliates and extracts impurities of the skin while at the same time replenishing the skin with vital nutrients including antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid.

A HydraFacial treatment is ideal for helping to reduce the appearance of:

  • Ageing Skin
  • Dull Skin
  • Acne
  • Pigmentation / Brown Spots
  • Oily and Congested Skin
  • Enlarged Pores

The HydraFacial treatment is suitable for all skin types. Our expert skin practitioners will be able to recommend specific treatment serums to help customise the treatment to target areas of concern.

A growing number of celebrities and skin care professionals are enjoying this treatment and its amazing benefits. It is a perfect treatment choice if you want to look radiant for a special occasion, a red carpet event and for brides-to-be.
