More about this treatment

HydraFacial is a cutting-edge aesthetic treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection all in one. Unlike traditional facials, it uses a patented spiral vacuum tip to gently remove dead skin cells and impurities while simultaneously infusing powerful serums packed with hyaluronic acid, peptides, and antioxidants.

The treatment involves deep cleansing, which removes dirt, oil, and makeup from the skin, leaving it refreshed and rejuvenated, while also improving the skin’s appearance, hydration, and health. Exfoliation plays a crucial role in unclogging pores, helping to clear away impurities and promote a brighter complexion.

A Hydrafacial works through a six-step process: detox, cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and rejuvenation. This advanced method is often compared to microdermabrasion, but it stands out by using exfoliating tips and serum infusion for effective results without downtime.

At Montrose London, each HydraFacial is fully tailored to your skin type and concerns — whether targeting dullness, congestion, fine lines, or uneven tone. The treatment is suitable for all skin types and delivers visible improvements from the very first session.

The process has three steps: cleansing, extracting, and moisturizing, making it straightforward and effective. Additionally, the platinum HydraFacial can be customized with additional boosters targeted to specific skin concerns, ensuring a truly personalized experience.

During your treatment

The HydraFacial device gently cleanses and exfoliates the skin using a vortex-fusion system. This proprietary machine is designed to perform multiple functions, including cleansing, exfoliating, extracting, and hydrating the skin.

Painless suction removes debris from pores while hydrating serums are delivered deep into the skin.

The treatment concludes with an infusion of antioxidants and peptides to protect and revitalise. LED light therapy is often included in HydraFacial treatments to stimulate collagen production or target acne-causing bacteria, further enhancing the results.

  • Avoid applying heavy makeup or using active skincare for 24 hours.
  • Keep your skin hydrated and protected with SPF 30 or higher.

Questions you may have

Is HydraFacial suitable for all skin types?

Yes. HydraFacial is safe and effective for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Each treatment is customised to individual skin needs, ensuring that even those with delicate or reactive skin can benefit without irritation. The versatility of the treatment means it can address a wide range of concerns from dryness and dull skin to acne and redness, making it a truly inclusive option for anyone seeking skin improvement.

No. The exfoliation is gentle, leaving skin smooth and refreshed without irritation or peeling. Unlike more aggressive treatments such as traditional facial microdermabrasion, HydraFacial uses patented vortex fusion technology that combines cleansing and hydration, minimizing the risk of post-treatment dryness or flaking. This means you can enjoy the benefits of exfoliation and deep cleansing without the downtime or discomfort often associated with other procedures.

Results are visible immediately after treatment. Skin appears brighter, smoother, and more hydrated. Many patients report experiencing the famous “Hydrafacial glow” right after just one session, with improvements in skin texture, tone, and radiance. Continued treatments further enhance these effects, promoting long-term skin health and a more youthful, radiant complexion.

Yes. The extraction step helps to remove impurities and reduce pore congestion, while specialised serums calm inflammation and support clearer skin. HydraFacial can target clogged pores effectively using salicylic acid and other active ingredients that help reduce acne symptoms and prevent future breakouts. Additionally, optional blue light therapy can be incorporated to eliminate acne-causing bacteria, making it an innovative modality for managing acne-prone skin.

For long-term skin health, monthly treatments are recommended. Regular sessions not only maintain the visible benefits such as improved hydration and reduced fine lines but also support ongoing skin repair and rejuvenation. Depending on your specific skin concerns, your practitioner may suggest more frequent treatments initially, especially for acne or significant textural issues, before transitioning to a maintenance schedule.

One of the standout features of the Hydrafacial treatment is its use of potent active ingredients, expertly delivered through patented vortex fusion technology to promote optimal skin health. Each Hydrafacial session harnesses the power of hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid, peptides, and customizable boosters like the Murad clarifying booster to address a wide range of skin concerns and help patients achieve their best skin.
