The ongoing use of makeup, sunscreen and skincare products can clog up and congest your skin, resulting in breakouts and a dull complexion. At home cleansing and exfoliate can only clean the skin so far.
Unclog blocked pores and exfoliate dead skin cells to reveal smooth and refreshed skin with this two step treatment. Hydrabrasion combines the exfoliation technique from microdermabrasion with a wet process to thoroughly cleanse your pores.

faqs
What does the treatment involve?
Hydrabrasion combines the exfoliation technique from microdermabrasion with a wet process to thoroughly cleanse your pores. It’s a combination of two types of exfoliating techniques. Firstly, we use a crystal to deeply exfoliate the skin and stimulate blood flow around the face. This helps with congestion along with the removal of dead skin and blackheads.
Next, a cold compress head is applied to the skin. It’s infused with aloe vera and specialised cooling water to hydrate the epidermis of the skin and feed nourishment back into the skin.
