Introduction
Wedding planning is exciting, but it can sometimes be stressful to you and your skin. That is why many brides choose a Hydrafacial before their big day. It is simple, gentle, and gives real results right away.
Brides love Hydrafacial because it provides instant healthy glow, it also deeply hydrates and refreshes your skin, helps reduce breakouts and uneven texture, is safe for all skin types, has no downtime or peeling, and can be personalised to your skin needs.
What is a Hydrafacial?
A Hydrafacial is a gentle 30 to 60 minute facial treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates your skin in one session, and the best part is it is non-invasive. It uses a device that removes dirt and dead skin while applying hydrating and nourishing serums.
Hydrafacial differs from other traditional facial treatments because it does not use harsh chemicals or rough exfoliation. It is also great for all skin types, which makes it a safe and effective choice for brides-to-be.

Hydrafacial Treatment Process
A hydrafacial step-by-step procedure starts with:
- The first step is cleansing and exfoliating the skin to remove dirt and dead skin cells.
- Next, a mild acid solution is applied to help loosen oil and unclog the pores without the risk of irritation.
- Next comes the extraction that uses a special device to gently suction the pores to make it clean.
- The final step is hydrating the skin and treating it with nourishing serums to help protect the skin and result in soft and smooth skin.
