About the treatment

A deep clean, then deep hydration.

AlphaHYDRA is a hydrodermabrasion facial. Gentle suction and aqua jets lift away dead skin, oil and debris, then serums chosen for your skin are infused to rehydrate it.

Most clients leave with skin that looks fresher and more hydrated straight away. Regular sessions help keep pores clear. Results vary from person to person.

Good for

  • Dull, dehydrated-looking skin
  • Congestion and clogged pores
  • Uneven-looking tone and texture
  • A refresh before an event

We check your skin and health history before we start, and may adjust or postpone your treatment if needed. Not sure it suits you? Start with a Skin Scan + Consultation.

Preparation and aftercare

Look after your skin.

Before your appointment

  • Tell us about any medications, supplements, allergies and medical conditions before your treatment.
  • Pause retinol, exfoliants and acids 5–7 days before. If you use a prescription skin treatment, such as a topical retinoid or antibiotic, check with your prescriber before pausing it.
  • Avoid the sun for at least 24 hours before.

After your appointment

  • Make-up: none for 24 hours, and no perfume on the treated area.
  • Exercise: no exercise, gym or swimming for 24 hours.
  • Heat: avoid saunas, steam rooms, spas and very hot showers for 24 hours.
  • Sun: avoid direct sun and sunbeds for at least 24 hours, and wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every day.
  • Active skincare: no retinol, vitamin A, AHAs, BHAs, scrubs or other exfoliants for 5 days. Using a prescription skin treatment? Ask your prescriber when to restart it.
  • Cleansing: cleanse gently with a mild cleanser and lukewarm water, pat dry, and use hydrating, soothing products.
  • Combined treatments: if AlphaHYDRA is paired with a peel, LED or another treatment, follow the aftercare for the more intensive treatment. Your therapist will confirm it on the day.
  • Don’t pick at any flaking skin. Contact us if you have any concerns after your treatment.

Some redness can appear and usually settles within a few hours, and your skin may feel more sensitive than usual for a short time.

FAQs

Good questions.

Does AlphaHYDRA suit my skin?

Suitability is assessed individually, and each step is adjusted to your skin on the day. Tell us about any skin infections, wounds, irritation, allergies or medical conditions before your treatment. If you’re unsure, book a Skin Scan + Consultation first and we’ll recommend the right treatment.

How often should I have it?

Every 2–4 weeks. We usually suggest every 4 weeks, as skin renews itself roughly every 28 days.

Is there any downtime?

No. Some people have mild redness for a few hours afterwards. Follow the aftercare advice above.

What are the AlphaHYDRA options?

The base AlphaHYDRA treatment is $200 (45 minutes) and does not include a jelly mask or LED. AlphaHYDRA + Jelly Mask & LED is $250 in total, and includes both. AlphaHYDRA Herbs is $300 in total (1 hr 15 min), incorporates a Herbs2Peel B Peel add-on, and includes a mask and LED. When treatments are combined, follow the aftercare for the more intensive treatment, and your therapist will confirm it on the day.

Which option is the best seller?

AlphaHYDRA Herbs is our best-selling treatment. Not every AlphaHYDRA booking includes the herbal peel. It is part of the AlphaHYDRA Herbs option only.

When will I see results?

Most clients see fresher, more hydrated skin as soon as the session ends. Results vary from person to person.

How is it different from Our Signature Customised Facial?

AlphaHYDRA is our set hydrodermabrasion facial. Our Signature Customised Facial is designed around your skin on the day. It is 60 minutes for $220, or 75 minutes from $270 with a professionally selected Signature Peel where suitable for your skin.
