1. Read your skin on the day
What your skin needs this week is often different from last month. We adjust before we apply anything.

Hydrafacial and advanced facials
Real-skin facials that do the boring, useful work — done well.
Most “facials” you’ve had are an hour of pleasant massage and a glow that fades by Tuesday. Hydrafacial and our other in-clinic facials are different: a medical exfoliation, extraction and serum-infusion protocol that actually changes how your skin looks for several weeks.
We use medical-grade systems (Hydrafacial Syndeo or equivalent) plus targeted add-ons — peptides, antioxidants, brightening or hydration boosters — chosen for your skin on the day, not from a pre-packaged menu.
Best used as a monthly maintenance step within a longer plan, not as a one-off fix. For pre-event skin (wedding, photo shoot, exam), it is our most common recommendation.
Good for:
- Dull, congested skin — visible blackheads on nose and forehead
- Pre-event skin prep, 2–3 days before
- Maintenance between procedures (peels, lasers)
- Sensitive skin that doesn’t tolerate aggressive peels
- Combination skin needing both exfoliation and hydration
- Back facials before saree functions
Not the right time if:
- You have severely inflamed acne — we settle active skin first
- You have an active rosacea flare
- You have open cuts or a skin infection in the area
How we approach facials
2. Adjust the protocol
Cleanse strength, acid mix, serum infusion choice — all individualised. No fixed menu.
3. Lymphatic and LED add-ons where useful
Calming red light for sensitive skin, blue light for oilier skin and breakouts. Optional, never forced.
4. 48-hour aftercare list

Frequently asked questions
Is Hydrafacial just a regular facial with hype?
No — the medical-grade systems do a real exfoliation and serum infusion that salon facials cannot. But it is not a replacement for in-clinic peels or laser when those are clinically needed.
How often should I do it?
Monthly maintenance for most people; pre-event one-offs are fine. Doing it twice a week is unnecessary and can over-strip the skin.
Can I do it before a wedding?
Best 2–3 days before, not the day of (so any redness settles). We plan timing carefully against your week.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, with adjusted intensity. We sometimes opt for a “lite” protocol with calming serums and red-light LED for very reactive skin.
Will it clear my acne?
It calms congested skin, extracts blackheads and reduces oiliness. It does not replace acne treatment for active inflammatory acne.
