3D Hydro Facial

The 3D Hydro Facial technology has been developed specifically to target the face, including the jawline, neck and décolletage.

After treatment, the area may be slightly reddened and warm or cool depending on the treatment you have received, but this will settle quickly.  There is occasionally some aching or minor discomfort after treatment and very rarely, the skin may get slightly burnt.

The technologies used in 3D Hydro Facials have been extensively researched to ensure their safety and efficacy. Treatment is entirely painless and will feel very relaxing with visible results immediately post treatment.

Treatment would not be recommended in certain situations, such as during pregnancy or breastfeeding, if you have any metal or implants in the area being treated, recent aesthetic procedures or certain medical conditions or medications. This will all be discussed during your free consultation when a medical history is completed.

Often people notice immediate results with skin appearing lighter, brighter and plumper and also visibly hydrated. If your practitioner is focusing on lifting and tightening, you may notice results immediately, but it is likely to take several sessions to achieve your target.

For very congested skin, a course of treatments is recommended to achieve visible results. A single treatment is a fabulous way to brighten your complexion and rehydrate dull, dry skin, particularly before an important event or occasion.

We strongly recommend the use of a good moisturiser and sunblock for a few days after the treatment. Ideally, you will start on a science based medical cosmeceutical range to further improve the skin.

The 3D Hydro Facial has been developed to target an array of concerns including hydration, oxygenation, anti-ageing, brightening, skin tightening and congestion. During a 3D Hydro Facial therapists are able to choose from one or all of the available technologies in order to create a completely bespoke treatment package; these include, Radiofrequency skin tightening, Hydro peel, Deep cleanse, Oxygenation, Skin lifting, Hydration and a Cryo-facial.

The practitioner will describe and discuss in detail the procedure including possible benefits and risks and answer any specific questions you may have. The practitioner will advise on what the expected outcome is likely to be in their professional opinion. However, results cannot be guaranteed and mild to moderate improvements may often be achieved.

If you are unfamiliar with any of the terms used or do not understand then ask for further explanation from the practitioner. You can take home a copy of the consent form, pre-treatment and post-treatment instructions to further research and consider the treatment and to discuss with third parties if you wish before deciding on the treatment.

It is advised to avoid any exfoliating products (such as glycolic, lactic, salicylic acids) and retinol (Vitamin A) products on your skin for three days prior to treatment. The procedure should not be performed alongside any other exfoliating treatments including other skin peels or microdermabrasion without the agreement of your treating practitioner. The treatment should not be performed on irritated or sunburnt skin and it is recommended to avoid tanning and sunbeds for at least 2 weeks.

If you have had any recent beauty or aesthetic treatments or are planning to undergo dental treatment, this should be discussed with your practitioner to ensure that it is safe to proceed with the procedure.

You may not be suitable for treatment if you have any of the following:

• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding
• Infection/inflammation of the treatment site including herpetic outbreaks
• An impaired immune system or undergoing treatment for cancer
• Allergy to any of the ingredients of the facial
• Sensitive/irritable skin

A medical history form must be completed prior to any treatment.

If you are feeling unwell on the day of treatment, please contact the clinic to re-arrange your appointment.

Following treatment, there may be some transient heat, redness, swelling and/or tenderness. It is recommended that you use a soap free cleanser for three days post treatment and avoid using products with active ingredients for three days. You can apply a moisturiser to your skin if you feel you need to – ask your practitioner to recommend the best product.

Complications that may occur include:

• Prolonged redness, particularly on delicate skin.
• Delayed redness, either widespread or in patches.
• Dryness
• Itchiness
• Allergy to any of the ingredients of the treatment.
