Following your HydraFacial treatment, it is important to care for your skin correctly to maximise your results, support your skin barrier and maintain a healthy, hydrated complexion. It is normal to experience some temporary side effects following treatment, including: * Mild redness. * Slight skin sensitivity. * A feeling of tightness. * A healthy glow and improved skin hydration. * Mild tenderness in more sensitive areas. These effects are usually mild and settle within 24–48 hours. To support your skin's recovery: * Keep the treated area clean and avoid touching your face unnecessarily. * Apply only the recommended moisturiser or post-treatment skincare products. * Stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of water. * Avoid rubbing or exfoliating the treated skin. For the first 24–48 hours: * Avoid hot baths, hot showers, saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs. * Avoid vigorous exercise or activities that cause excessive sweating. * Avoid swimming pools and chlorinated water. * Avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours, or until advised by your practitioner. * Avoid perfumed or potentially irritating skincare products. For the first 5–7 days: * Avoid retinol, retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, vitamin C serums and exfoliating products until your skin has fully settled. * Avoid chemical peels, microneedling, dermaplaning, laser treatments, IPL or other energy-based procedures on the treated area until advised by your practitioner. * Continue using a gentle cleanser and a fragrance-free moisturiser. * Avoid picking or scratching the skin if mild flaking occurs. Your skin will be more sensitive to UV exposure following a HydraFacial. * Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 every day. * Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours when outdoors. * Avoid direct sun exposure and sunbeds for at least 1–2 weeks after treatment. * Wear a wide-brimmed hat where possible when spending time outdoors. Protecting your skin from UV exposure helps maintain your results and reduces the risk of pigmentation changes. HydraFacial delivers immediate improvements in skin hydration, texture and radiance, with regular treatments helping to maintain long-term skin health. To achieve the best results: * Follow the personalised skincare advice provided by your practitioner. * Keep your skin well hydrated. * Use SPF 30–50 every day. * Maintain a consistent medical-grade skincare routine where appropriate. * Attend regular HydraFacial treatments every 4–6 weeks, or as recommended by your practitioner, to maintain a healthy, clear and glowing complexion. Please contact Body Perfection Clinic if you have any concerns about your healing or experience: * Severe or worsening redness lasting longer than 72 hours. * Excessive swelling or increasing pain. * Blistering. * Persistent skin irritation or delayed healing. * Any unexpected or concerning reaction following your treatment. If you think you have developed an infection (such as increasing redness, excessive heat, pus, discharge or fever), or you feel generally unwell, please seek immediate medical advice from your GP, NHS 111 or your nearest emergency department if your symptoms are severe. Your practitioner will be happy to advise you and arrange a review appointment if required.

To ensure your HydraFacial treatment is as safe and effective as possible, please follow the advice below before your appointment. * Avoid direct sun exposure, sunbeds and self-tanning products for at least 1–2 weeks before your treatment. Recently tanned or sunburnt skin may be more sensitive and at greater risk of irritation. * Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 every day before your treatment to help protect your skin from UV damage. * Discontinue the use of retinol, retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, glycolic acid, salicylic acid and exfoliating products for 5–7 days before your appointment, unless advised otherwise by your practitioner. * Avoid chemical peels, microneedling, dermaplaning, laser treatments, IPL or other energy-based procedures on the treatment area for at least 2 weeks before treatment. * Do not wax, thread, use depilatory creams or bleach facial hair on the treatment area for 5–7 days before your appointment. * Arrive with clean skin, free from makeup, moisturiser, sunscreen, oils and perfume on the treatment area. * Stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of water before your treatment, as well-hydrated skin responds best to treatment. * Inform your practitioner if you are taking or have recently taken Roaccutane (Isotretinoin), antibiotics, steroids, photosensitising medications or topical prescription skincare, as these may affect your suitability for treatment. * Please inform your practitioner of any changes to your medical history, pregnancy status, allergies, skin conditions or recent aesthetic treatments before your appointment. * If you have an active cold sore, skin infection, eczema flare-up, dermatitis, sunburn, open wound, acne flare or irritated skin within the treatment area, please contact the clinic as your treatment may need to be postponed. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin, discuss your concerns and confirm your suitability for a HydraFacial. A personalised treatment plan will then be created to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate and nourish your skin while helping to improve congestion, enlarged pores, fine lines, uneven skin tone and overall skin health.

We offer two consultation options: £25 Face-to-Face Consultation – Includes a comprehensive skin assessment, discussion of your skin concerns and a personalised HydraFacial treatment plan tailored to your skin type, condition and desired results. FREE Telephone Consultation – Ideal if you'd like to learn more about HydraFacial, discuss your skin concerns and ask any initial questions before booking. If you decide to proceed with treatment, we'll recommend the most suitable consultation option based on your individual skin concerns, treatment goals and the results you would like to achieve.

A consultation is an essential part of your HydraFacial treatment and is required before your first appointment. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin, discuss your concerns and determine whether a HydraFacial is the most suitable treatment for your skin. We will review your: Skin type and current skin condition. Medical history and current medications. Previous facial and aesthetic treatments. Current skincare routine and products. Treatment goals and expectations. Your practitioner will explain how a HydraFacial works, discuss the expected results, outline any potential risks and answer any questions you may have. This ensures the treatment is safe, appropriate and tailored to your individual skin needs. During your consultation, your skin will be assessed and photographs may be taken (with your consent) to monitor your progress throughout your treatment journey. For your appointment, we recommend arriving with clean skin, free from makeup and skincare products where possible. This allows your practitioner to carry out a thorough skin assessment and prepare your skin for treatment. Every person's skin is unique, which is why we create a personalised treatment plan based on your individual concerns. Whether you're looking to improve congestion, dehydration, dullness, enlarged pores, fine lines, uneven skin tone or overall skin health, your HydraFacial treatment will be tailored to help you achieve cleaner, healthier, smoother and more radiant skin.

For your Hydrafacial appointment, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing and arriving with clean skin free from makeup where possible. A loose-fitting top with a wide neckline or buttons is ideal to allow easy access to the face, neck and décolletage while ensuring maximum comfort during your treatment. Soft, breathable fabrics are recommended, and there is no need for special clothing as Hydrafacial is a relaxing, non-invasive treatment with no downtime. Avoid high collars, scarves or jewellery around the neck that may interfere with treatment or cause irritation afterwards. Please avoid applying heavy creams, fake tan, perfumes or active skincare products to the treatment area before your appointment unless otherwise advised. Most clients are able to return to normal activities immediately following treatment, making Hydrafacial an ideal lunchtime procedure. Your comfort and privacy are always our priority, and disposable headbands, towels and gowns are provided when required to help you relax and enjoy your treatment.

Treatment is not suitable for clients with: Active cancer, Pregnancy, Active acne breakouts within the treatment area. If you are currently taking Aspirin unless it has been discontinued, Retin-A (Tretinoin) and Roaccutane (Isotretinoin), has been used within the previous 3 days.

Many clients see an immediate improvement after treatment, but maintaining healthy, glowing skin often benefits from regular treatments and a good skincare routine.

We wish it were that easy! HydraFacial can improve hydration and skin quality, helping fine lines appear softer, but it doesn't physically remove wrinkles.

Yes. HydraFacial is often called the "red carpet facial" because it typically leaves the skin looking radiant with little to no downtime.

Definitely not. HydraFacial combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection in one treatment, delivering results that go far beyond a standard cleanse.

HydraFacial can leave your skin looking fresher, brighter and more hydrated, but it won't reverse the ageing process overnight.

HydraFacial can deeply cleanse the skin and remove a significant amount of congestion, but no treatment can guarantee the removal of every blackhead in a single session.

HydraFacial is most commonly performed on the face, but it can also be used on areas such as the neck and décolleté to improve skin texture and hydration.

Regular HydraFacial treatments help maintain skin health by continuously removing impurities, improving hydration and supporting natural skin renewal. A course of treatments can help improve concerns such as congestion, dullness, uneven skin tone and early signs of ageing.

HydraFacial is commonly performed once every 4 weeks to maintain healthy, glowing skin. Regular treatments help support ongoing skin renewal and hydration. Your practitioner may recommend a schedule based on your individual skin needs.

Many clients notice visible improvements after just one HydraFacial treatment. However, regular treatments are often recommended to maintain optimal skin health and results. Your practitioner can advise on a treatment plan based on your skin type and concerns.

HydraFacial helps improve overall skin health and appearance. Many clients notice brighter, clearer and more hydrated skin immediately after treatment. It can also help improve skin texture, reduce congestion, minimise the appearance of pores and give the complexion a healthy glow.

HydraFacial is a comfortable and relaxing treatment. Most clients describe the sensation as a gentle suction combined with a cooling or refreshing feeling on the skin. The treatment is designed to be gentle while still delivering effective results.
