Frequently Asked Questions

What to expect during the appointment?

The Hydrafacial process typically involves minimal to no downtime. The aim of the session is to leave the skin feeling cleansed and refreshed. After a Hydrafacial appointment, it is important to avoid significant sun exposure, as the process involves both manual and chemical exfoliation with the application of various gentle acids. While uncommon, if you experience any unexpected symptoms, such as significant redness, tenderness, or pain, this may indicate a possible adverse reaction. Should you notice these symptoms, please contact our clinic immediately.

What is the cost of a Hydrafacial™?

The cost of a Hydrafacial can vary from person to person. It depends on the specific plan discussed with your clinician to address your particular skin concerns and aesthetic goals. We always recommend an initial consultation at our clinic to determine the potential cost. During this session, the clinician can assess the areas you wish to discuss and help develop a customised plan based on your individual goals, general health, and specific concerns.

What are the post-consultation considerations and aftercare for a Hydrafacial™?

Your clinician will discuss aftercare considerations with you to support your skin following the appointment. Lifestyle factors, such as exposure to UV rays, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, or diet, can influence your skin’s overall condition and will be discussed as part of your comprehensive care plan.

To support your skin after the session, your clinician will provide you with a follow-up plan, which may include:

  • Avoid touching the skin unnecessarily.
  • Avoid wearing makeup for 24 hours after your appointment.
  • Refrain from strenuous exercise for 12 hours.
  • Pause the use of active skin care products for at least five days.
  • Avoid other skin procedures that may be intensive for the skin, such as microdermabrasion or skin needling.
  • Stay away from extreme temperatures, such as saunas, hydrotherapy, or ice baths, for at least 24 hours.

Are there any risks or complications associated with a Hydrafacial™?

With any cosmetic or medical procedure, it is important to be aware of the associated risks and potential complications before making a decision. The Hydrafacial process carries potential risks, which will be discussed with you during your consultation. These may include:

  • Allergic reaction
  • Scarring
  • Blisters
  • Swelling

Sounds great. Where do I start?

Before scheduling a Hydrafacial service, your first step is to book an initial consultation with our qualified clinical team at our Shellharbour clinic. During this consultation, we will discuss your lifestyle and health, including your medical history, any known allergies, and any medications or supplements you may be taking. It is important to disclose any past reactions to medications or skin care products, as well as any other recent aesthetic services you have had.

The consultation is your opportunity to ask questions. Your clinician will inquire about your current concerns and your reasons for considering a cosmetic service, and they will evaluate the area of concern. You can discuss what you hope to explore and your personal aesthetic goals. All the information you provide is vital for developing a customised plan that considers your health and is aligned with your expectations.
