There is only one Hydrafacial™, and once you have experienced a Hydrafacial™ treatment for yourself you will agree. The results of the Hydrafacial™ are unmatched with any other skin treatment. In less than 40 minutes, the treatment deeply cleanses and exfoliates the skin, removes blackheads and congestion, and infuses antioxidants and hydration into the skin. In short, the ‘bad stuff’ is removed, and replaced with the ‘good stuff’. ’ Results from a Hydrafacial™ and immediate, and with repeated Hydrafacial™ treatments every 6 weeks those results have a lasting effect.

Frequently Asked Questions
What to expect?
The Hydrafacial™ treatment has no downtime and results are immediate. You can expect hydrated, glowing skin after a Hydrafacial treatment. After undergoing a Hydrafacial treatment, it is important to strictly avoid sun exposure as the skin has been exfoliated manually and chemically, with various gentle acids applied. If there are other symptoms, such as redness, tenderness, or pain, this may indicate a possible severe allergic reaction or infection. If patients notice these symptoms, they should contact our clinic immediately.
What is the cost of a Hydrafacial™?
The cost of a Hydrafacial™ varies from patient to patient and depends on the type of treatment recommended by your treating clinician to achieve the results you desire. We always recommend that our patients have an initial consultation in our clinic to determine the cost of a Hydrafacial. The treating clinician can assess your problem areas and develop a customised treatment plan based on your goals, health, and concerns.
What are the results and aftercare for a Hydrafacial™?
Hydrafacial results typically last 1-2 weeks after the initial treatment. With repeated treatments, every 6 weeks the results of a Hydrafacial are long lasting. There are no general rules for how long the results should last, and they will vary from patient to patient, especially if patients are exposed to excessive UV rays, cigarette or e-cigarette smoke, excessive alcohol consumption, or a poor diet.
To ensure proper healing and best results, your clinician will provide you with a follow-up plan, which may include:
- Do not touch the skin
- Do not wear makeup for 24 hours after treatment
- Do not exercise for 12 hours after treatment
- Do not use active skin care products for at least five days after treatment.
- Avoid skin treatments that may cause stress or stress on the skin, such as microdermabrasion, micro-needling, and facial massage
- Stay away from extreme temperatures, such as saunas, hydrotherapy, ice baths, or hot yoga for 24 hours
Are there any risks or complications associated with a Hydrafacial™?
Regardless of the cosmetic or medical treatment, you should be aware of the associated risks and complications before deciding on any treatment. Hydrafacial™ treatments carry the following risks and complications:
- Allergic reaction
- Scarring
- Blisters
- Swelling
- Bruises
- Skin discolouration
- Itching
- Redness
Sounds great. Where do I start?
Before undergoing a Hydrafacial™ treatment, you must register at our Shellharbour clinic for an initial consultation with our qualified clinical team. During your consultation, you will discuss your lifestyle and health, including medical history, allergies, and any medications or supplements you may be taking. It is important to mention any allergic reactions to drugs or skin care products you may have experienced in the past and any other recent beauty treatments you’ve had. These factors affect how your body responds and how the treatment recovers.
If you have any concerns, a consultation is when you ask questions about your treatment. Your clinician will ask about your current problems and reasons for wanting a cosmetic procedure and evaluate the treatment area. You should discuss what you hope to achieve with the treatment and your aesthetic goals. All the information you provide during the consultation is essential to developing a customised treatment plan that considers your health, concerns and expected outcomes to achieve the best possible result.
If you have a question, get in touch and one of our staff will be in touch shortly.
