Hydr02 Facials
60 minutes - £115
75 minutes - £132
Nicknamed the 5* facial, Hydro2 is a seven in one treatment. Including radio frequency, deep cleansing, hydro peel ,oxygenation, hydration and fire and ice therapy.
What's the difference between 60 and 75 minutes?
Your 60 minute Hydro2 facial is the perfect all rounder facial If you have different skin concerns but If you'd like something that little special, then the 75 minute facial is for you! In addition we spend longer on skin tightening, it also includes a hyaluronic packed hydration mask and finished with a lifting and firming massage.
The seven steps -
-
Step 1: Hydro Peel
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 pores which is perfect for managing congestion and bacteria.
-
Step 2: Exfoliation
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.
-
Step 3: Oxygenation
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. Stimulating oxygen in the skin using this method helps to increase cell metabolism and improve these concerns.
-
Step 4: Electro-ion
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
-
Step 5: Radio frequency
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. 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.
-
Step 6: Ultrasound
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.
-
Step 7: Fire and Ice
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.
