HydraGlow Facial with Oxygen Infusion: Treatment Advice & Aftercare

Before & After Your HydraGlow Facial

The HydraGlow Facial is a multi-step facial designed to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate and refresh the skin.

Using our hydrodermabrasion system, the treatment combines cleansing and exfoliation with vacuum technology and targeted solutions to help remove surface debris and congestion while replenishing the skin with hydration.

The treatment is completed with oxygen infusion, delivering a fine mist of selected skincare ingredients over the skin for a fresh, hydrated finish.

Your treatment is adapted according to your skin type and concerns.

Before Your Treatment

To help keep your skin comfortable:

• Avoid strong exfoliating acids, scrubs and retinoids for around 48 hours before treatment.

• Avoid waxing or other treatments that have irritated the treatment area immediately beforehand.

• Avoid excessive sun exposure and don't attend with sunburnt skin.

• Tell us if you've recently had a chemical peel, microneedling, laser or another advanced skin treatment.

• Tell us if you've recently had dermal fillers, skin boosters, anti-wrinkle injections or other injectables.

• Let us know about any allergies or sensitivities to skincare ingredients.

• Tell us about any medication that may affect your skin or healing.

• Let us know if your skin or health has changed since booking.

You don't need to remove your makeup before your appointment as cleansing forms part of the treatment.

Is HydraGlow Suitable for Everyone?

HydraGlow can be adapted for many skin types, but please tell your therapist if you:

• have an active skin infection or cold sore

• have open wounds or broken skin

• have sunburn or significant skin irritation

• are experiencing an active eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis or rosacea flare

• have very fragile or compromised skin

• have a known allergy or sensitivity to skincare ingredients

• have recently had facial surgery

• have recently had an advanced skin or injectable treatment

• are taking prescription retinoids or have recently taken isotretinoin

• have a condition or medication that may affect your skin or healing

• are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Having one of these doesn't necessarily mean you can't have a facial. We may be able to adapt the treatment, avoid certain products or techniques, or recommend an alternative facial.

What Does HydraGlow Feel Like?

Most clients find HydraGlow comfortable and relaxing.

During the hydrodermabrasion stages you may feel a gentle suction as the handpiece moves across the skin.

The intensity can be adjusted according to your skin, and your therapist can reduce or avoid suction over areas that are particularly sensitive.

Congested areas may receive additional attention or extraction where appropriate.

Oxygen Infusion

The oxygen infusion stage feels cool, light and refreshing.

A fine mist of selected skincare solution is applied to the skin using the oxygen handpiece, helping to leave the skin feeling hydrated and refreshed.

It does not involve needles or intentionally break the skin.

What to Expect Afterwards

There is usu

ally little or no downtime following HydraGlow.

Immediately afterwards your skin may look:

• brighter

• smoother

• more hydrated

• temporarily pink or flushed.

Areas where congestion or extractions have been treated may remain slightly red or sensitive for a short time.

Because the treatment includes exfoliation, some clients may notice temporary dryness, tightness or sensitivity afterwards.

Aftercare

For the first 24–48 hours:

• Treat your skin gently.

• Avoid scrubs and aggressive exfoliation.

• Avoid retinoids and strong exfoliating acids.

• Don't pick or squeeze blemishes or recently extracted areas.

• Avoid waxing or other potentially irritating treatments on the area.

• Keep your skin well moisturised.

• Use a gentle cleanser.

• Avoid excessive heat if your skin remains flushed or sensitive.

• Follow any personalised homecare advice given by your therapist.

Once your skin feels completely comfortable, you can gradually return to your normal active skincare routine.

Makeup

Where possible, we recommend leaving your skin makeup-free for the remainder of the day, particularly if you've had extractions.

If you do need to apply makeup, wait until your skin has settled and use clean products and applicators.

Exercise, Sauna & Swimming

If your skin feels completely comfortable, normal activities can usually be resumed quickly.

However, if your skin remains pink or sensitive, avoid:

• strenuous exercise

• saunas and steam rooms

• very hot baths or showers

• swimming

until it has settled.

Sun Protection

Your skin has been exfoliated, so good sun protection is particularly important following treatment.

Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 during the day and avoid deliberate tanning and sunbeds.
