HYDRAFACIAL · WOODLEY
Five stages. One appointment.
Cleanse, exfoliate, extract, hydrate, protect — in that order and without skipping any of them. Non-invasive, suitable for all skin types, and there is minimal to no downtime.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS
The five stages, in order
The order is the treatment. Each stage sets up the one after it, which is why this is a fixed sequence rather than a menu you assemble.
Cleanse
Makeup and the day come off. Nothing clever, but skipping it wastes the four stages after it.
Exfoliate
A mild acid loosens the dead surface layer so extraction has something to lift.
Extract
Vacuum rather than fingers. This is the painless part people do not believe until it happens.
Hydrate
Serum driven back in while the pores are open — peptides, antioxidants, hyaluronic acid.
Protect
Antioxidant seal and sunscreen. The stage most facials leave to you.
Extraction is the stage people arrive nervous about and leave surprised by. It is a vacuum rather than fingers, which is what makes it painless — and it is also why the exfoliation stage before it matters, because that is what loosens the surface for the vacuum to lift.
TWO ADD-ONS
The eye and the lip, separately
A full-face pass cannot work the eye area or the lip properly, so those are their own fifteen minutes. Added to the same appointment, not a second visit.
HydraFacial Perks — Eye The area a full-face pass has to skirt around.
HydraFacial Perks — Lip Same idea, and the one people forget until it is offered.
EACH BAR IS FIFTEEN MINUTES AGAINST THE 45–55 MINUTE APPOINTMENT IT IS ADDED TO
BEFORE & AFTER
Two results, one session each
Two before-and-after examples from HydraFacial treatments. Individual results vary.
Nose and mouth
Many people choose HydraFacial for an immediate fresh, hydrated finish; results vary with skin condition and treatment plan.
Forehead and brow
A second before-and-after example. Individual results vary, and your treatment is tailored to your skin.
Fixed stages. Not a fixed brief.
The order never changes; what goes into it does. The clinic customises the treatment to the concern — acne, fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and more — and it is suitable for all skin types, adapting to sensitivities as readily as to concerns.
THREE THAT SOUND ALIKE
Aquapure, HydraFacial or HydraDerm?
They share some technology, but the treatment steps and intensity differ. Compare the three options below to see which may fit your skin and goals.
Gentlest of the three, and the only one with a 30-minute version. Suitable for sensitive skin.

Book a HydraFacialHydraFacial with Dermaplaning first — the blade goes before the vortex. Smoother than either alone.
