Walk into any beauty salon and you will find facials on the treatment menu. Walk into Tu Bella and you will find a HydraFacial. They share a name, but they are quite different treatments, and understanding that difference can save you a lot of time and money.
What is a regular facial?
A traditional facial typically involves cleansing, exfoliation (often manual or enzymatic), extraction of congestion, a mask, and moisturiser. The products and techniques used vary enormously between salons and therapists. Results can be lovely but are often short-lived, and the effectiveness depends heavily on the skill of the therapist and the quality of the products.
For many people, a traditional facial is a relaxing treat. For skin that needs real results, it may not go far enough.
What is a HydraFacial?
A HydraFacial is a medical-grade treatment that uses patented vortex technology to cleanse, exfoliate, extract and infuse the skin simultaneously. There are no manual extractions, no scrubbing. Instead, a handpiece creates a vacuum effect that lifts out congestion, dead skin cells and sebum while simultaneously pushing serums deep into the skin.
Each step is controlled and consistent. The device does the work, which means results are predictable and repeatable.
What does a HydraFacial do?
- Deeply cleanses and unblocks pores
- Removes dead skin cells through gentle suction-based exfoliation
- Extracts blackheads and sebaceous filaments without squeezing
- Infuses the skin with hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and peptides
- Leaves skin immediately brighter, smoother and more hydrated
Who is it for?
Almost everyone. Because there is no harsh scrubbing or strong actives, the HydraFacial is suitable for sensitive skin, dry skin, oily skin, acne-prone skin and skin that is concerned about signs of ageing. It is one of the most versatile treatments we offer at Tu Bella.
It is also one of the few treatments you can have the day before an event, the results are instant and there is no downtime whatsoever.
How often should you have it?
For maintenance, many clients come in once a month. For skin that is working through congestion or dehydration, a course of three to six sessions, two to four weeks apart, tends to deliver the best results.
If you are new to aesthetics or simply want to improve your skin without needles, a HydraFacial is one of the best places to start. Book yours at Tu Bella in Hemel Hempstead.
