HydrO2 Facial

The ultimate skin detoxifying and deep cleansing experience

HydrO2Facial is the ultimate skin detoxifying and deep cleansing experience which rejuvenates your skin with active botanical ingredients. The treatment reveals glowing, refreshed and radiant skin with immediate results.

How do you do it?

By utilising seven different technologies, we can offer more prescriptive, versatile and rounded facials than ever before.

These technologies smooth, hydrate and cleanse the skin resulting in a glowing, more youthful appearance.

HydraFacial is a treatment that everyone can enjoy and is suitable for all skin types and concerns

What is involved?

During treatment, therapists can choose from one or all of the available technologies to create completely bespoke packages, ranging from 30 minutes for an express facial to 90 minutes for a deluxe facial. 

This patented technology follows a seven-step treatment process – Hydro Peel, Exfoliation, Oxygenation, Electro-Ion, Radiofrequency, Ultrasounds, Fire and Ice. These technologies can be combined for a complete prescriptive approach depending on the individual client’s skin concerns

How do the seven technologies in 3D-HydrO2 facial work?

The Hydro Peel treatment uses a combination of three solutions.

The AHA solution contains lactic acid and glycolic acid to dissolve keratin and smooths the skin’s texture while deep cleansing the pores.

The BHA solution contains salicylic acid to remove comedones, sebum and cleanse inner pores which is perfect for managing congestion and bacteria.

The final solution contains galactomyces ferment filtrate, hyaluronic acid and acetyl hexapeptide 8 to offer deep hydration and nourishment, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and provide elasticity and brightening to the skin.

The Exfoliation technology allows oxygen to be drawn into the skin.

A vibration cleanser is used with a capsule that has an exfoliating effect on the skin, containing sodium bicarbonate and citric acid.

When the capsule is combined with the glycerol-based gel it will create an effervescent effect.

CO2 is produced during this reaction, inducing a release of oxygen from increase red blood cells.

When oxygen is naturally released to the skin from inside of the body, it results in true oxygenation and is far more effective than external oxygenation. This effect on the skin is known as the ‘Bohr Effect’.

A lack of oxygen slows down cell metabolism, ages the cell prematurely, reduces skin firmness and gives a pale ashen complexion.

The Oxygenation spray creates a Venturi effect which, by breaking down the molecules within the product, encourages maximum absorption allowing intense skin hydration.

Applying oxygen to the skin using this method helps to increase cell metabolism and improve these concerns. Some bacteria are not able to live in oxygen, so applying oxygen to the skin will give this anti-bacterial effect, having a positive effect on congestion.

The Electro-ion technology is used for skin lifting and uses electroporation which increases the absorbency of the cell for product penetration.

Ultrasound vibrations momentarily create spaces in the outer layers of the skin.

By disrupting this barrier, it allows greater absorption of the applied product.

Using iontophoresis and anti-gravity actions, this handpiece penetrates our Time Defence and brightening serums deeper into the skin’s sub surface but also gives a slight muscle contraction and lifting effect.

This, in turn, revitalises and ‘wakes up’ dull and lifeless skin.

Tri-polar radio-frequency delivers the energy specifically into the dermis creating heat, increasing the temperature in the dermis to a constant 40-42°c.

Fibroblasts are the connective tissue cells that produce collagen and elastin.

By heating the dermis, this causes an immediate contraction of the existing mature collagen cells, in turn stimulating fibroblast action.

This results in the production of new collagen, an increase in the diameter of the collagen and the spaces between the fibres are visibly reduced under the microscope increasing the density of the dermal layer, giving a skin tightening effect.

The Ultrasound technology is used for product infusion.

The Ultrasound used in cosmetic applications has Thermal and Biochemical effects.

Its Thermal action has a stimulating effect on the blood flow and activates cell metabolism.

The Biochemical effects trigger a micro-massage in the tissue, which influences the fibroblasts and stimulates the formation of new collagen.

The “fire” represents the heat element during treatment. Using this applicator, heat is incorporated into the beginning of the facial protocol to open the pores, increase blood supply and aid product infusion. 

The “cryo facial” uses cooling technology, chilling the skin down to 5˚C. This is used at the end of the facial to decrease the blood supply, giving a tightening effect and sealing in the infused products. This also helps to reduce any erythema following treatment.

FAQs

Yes! As long as you are over the age of 18 and don’t have any of our medical contraindications, you are suitable to have this treatment. This is because our technologies allow us to customise the treatment to suit your skin type and concerns.

Your therapist will sit with you during a consultation and will then be able to advise which facial and technologies are best suited to help you.

The treatments last anywhere between 30 minutes and 1 hour 30 minutes depending on which facial you have. Your therapist will be able to advise on the length of treatment based on your facial selection.

During the treatment you will experience verifying sensations depending on the technologies that are used by your therapist. However, the overall feeling is very relaxing, cooling and completely pain free. Our skin lifting technology may trigger slight twitching due to the muscle contractions caused by the treatment, but this is normal and does not cause any discomfort.

You may experience minor erythema (redness) post treatment however this is reduced due to the cryo facial that is used at the end of each treatment.

The results from this treatment will vary depending on which facial you choose. However, all of these facials results in a smooth, hydrated and glowing appearance. Our anti-ageing facials will also display a tightened finish to the skin while our congestion facial will help with skin texture and bacteria.

We recommend a course of 8 weekly treatments with results being visible following the 2nd treatment. These will continue to improve throughout the duration of the course. Maintenance treatments may be recommended by your 3D-HydrO2 facial specialist to ensure long lasting results.

As these facials are completely non-surgical, there is no downtime from the treatments and you can continue with your day to day activities straight away.

There is no aftercare formally required, however, we will always recommend that you protect your skin with SPF 30+. Your therapist will also be able to recommend Alumier medical grade skincare products that are suitable to your skin type to assist in your home regime to help to maintain results.
