Frequently Asked Questions About Our HydroDermabrasion Facial
What is a Hydrodermabrasion Facial?
A Hydrodermabrasion Facial is an advanced skin treatment that uses water-based exfoliation, gentle suction and professional hydrating serums to deeply cleanse, exfoliate and nourish the skin. It helps remove dead skin cells, clear congested pores and restore a healthy, radiant glow with little to no downtime.
Is Hydrodermabrasion the same as a HydraFacial?
Hydrodermabrasion and HydraFacial® are similar in that they both use water-based exfoliation, suction and hydrating serums to improve the skin.
HydraFacial® is simply the registered trademark for a specific branded system, while hydrodermabrasion is the actual treatment performed.
Is Hydrodermabrasion suitable for all skin types?
Yes, Hydrodermabrasion is suitable for most skin types, including dry, oily, combination and many sensitive skins. Before your treatment, we’ll carry out a consultation to ensure the facial is tailored to your skin’s needs.
What are the benefits of Hydrodermabrasion?
Hydrodermabrasion can help:
- Deeply cleanse the skin
- Remove dead skin cells
- Improve hydration
- Brighten dull complexions
- Refine the appearance of pores
- Improve skin texture
- Reduce congestion
- Leave skin smoother and more radiant
Does Hydrodermabrasion hurt?
No. Most clients find the treatment comfortable and relaxing. You may feel a gentle suction sensation as impurities are removed from the skin, but it shouldn’t be painful.
How long does a Hydrodermabrasion Facial take?
Your appointment typically lasts around 60 minutes, allowing enough time to thoroughly cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate and nourish your skin.
Will I see results immediately?
Yes. Many clients notice smoother, brighter and more hydrated skin immediately after treatment. Your complexion often continues to improve over the following 24–48 hours as the skin absorbs the nourishing ingredients.
How long do the results last?
Results typically last one to two weeks, depending on your skin type, lifestyle and home skincare routine. Regular treatments every 4–6 weeks can help maintain long-term improvements.
How often should I have Hydrodermabrasion?
For healthy, glowing skin, we recommend having a Hydrodermabrasion Facial every 4–6 weeks. Your therapist can advise on the best treatment schedule based on your skin concerns.
Can Hydrodermabrasion help acne?
Hydrodermabrasion can help improve congested pores, excess oil and mild breakouts by deeply cleansing the skin and removing impurities. It is not a cure for acne, but many people find it beneficial as part of an ongoing skincare routine.
Can Hydrodermabrasion reduce fine lines and wrinkles?
Hydrodermabrasion deeply hydrates the skin, helping it appear plumper and smoother. While it won’t remove wrinkles, regular treatments may reduce the appearance of fine lines by improving hydration and overall skin condition.
Our luxury Hydrodermabrasion Facial uses advanced water-based exfoliation, gentle suction and professional hydrating serums to deeply cleanse, exfoliate and nourish your skin for an instant, radiant glow.
Step 1
Skin Analysis
Every facial at The Face Lab begins with a professional skin analysis to ensure your treatment is tailored specifically to your skin’s unique needs.
During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin type, hydration levels, oil production, texture, pore size, and overall skin health.
We’ll identify any concerns such as acne, congestion, sensitivity, pigmentation, redness, fine lines, or signs of ageing, while discussing your current skincare routine, lifestyle, and any medical considerations that may affect your treatment.

Double Cleanse
