    The Treatment

    Hydracool Facial

    The Hydracool Facial is a refined in-clinic treatment that combines three things in one session: gentle cooling, deep hydration, and the delivery of active skincare ingredients into the skin. It is one of the few facials genuinely capable of changing how the skin looks and feels in a single appointment.

    Most facials feel pleasant but rarely change anything clinically. The Hydracool Facial sits in a different category, it is built around a clear hydration and delivery mechanism, supervised within a doctor-led clinic, and used in protocol where it adds value. It is also one of the most useful treatments before an event or after a more intensive procedure.

    About

    What it is, how it works.

    How it works

    The treatment is delivered in stages. The skin is gently cleansed and prepared, then a cooled hydration step calms the surface and supports moisture levels. Selected active ingredients, chosen to suit your skin, are then delivered using a controlled application technique that supports their absorption. The session finishes with a calming step and skin protection.

It is also one of the most useful treatments before an event or after a more intensive procedure.

    “Had a stressful day- the treatment was so soothing- with a gentle hand and quiet conversation, allowing me to float and all my tension drifted away, so when it came to the part that was extracting and lymph draining it all felt so "releasing " & I was able to let go of it all !!”
