What Is a HydraFacial?

HydraFacial is more than a facial—it’s a three-step glow infusion that cleanses, extracts and hydrates in one seamless experience. Using patented Vortex-Fusion Technology, a sleek wand sweeps away dead skin, unclogs pores and delivers custom serums rich in antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid.

Key highlights:
Gentle exfoliation without redness
Deep pore cleansing via painless vacuum suction
Serum infusion tailored to pigmentation, ageing or dehydration

Perfect for sensitive or reactive skin, HydraFacial tackles:
– Fine lines and wrinkles
– Uneven texture and enlarged pores
– Oily, congested complexions
– Dullness and lack of moisture

Post-treatment, expect a dewy, plump finish that’s red-carpet ready. To explore all our bespoke facial rituals, Explore our facial options including HydraFacial


What Is DiamondGlow?

Think of DiamondGlow as microdermabrasion 2.0. A precision diamond-tipped wand polishes your skin while suctioning away debris and simultaneously infusing potent SkinMedica® serums. The result is a visibly smoother, brighter canvas primed for optimal skin health.

Benefits of DiamondGlow:
– Physical exfoliation for rough patches and age spots
– Enhanced serum delivery for hydration and repair
– Noticeable texture refinement in one session

It’s the go-to for anyone battling sun damage, hyperpigmentation or stubborn texture issues. And if you want that next-level glass skin effect, pairing with an advanced serum like SkinMedica TNS® is pure magic.


Head-to-Head: Key Differences

Both HydraFacial and DiamondGlow share core advantages—zero downtime, custom serums and an immediate glow—but here’s where they part ways:

HydraFacial:
– Surface-level, gentle exfoliation
– Ideal for sensitive or reactive skin
– Leaves a dewy, hydrated finish

DiamondGlow:
Deeper, more intensive exfoliation
– Targets rough texture, fine lines and discolouration
– Yields a visibly smoother, polished look

In short, if you crave a mild refresh, HydraFacial is your daily driver. If you need serious resurfacing, DiamondGlow has the edge.


Who Should Choose Which?

Navigating the options is simpler when you match treatment to skin goals:

  • HydraFacial: You’re new to facials, have sensitive skin or need a quick pick-me-up before an event.
  • DiamondGlow: You’ve got sun spots, rough patches or signs of ageing that need deeper care.

Either way, consistency is key. Monthly sessions will maintain that enviable glow.
