HydraFacial in Abu Dhabi
Cleansing, exfoliation, extraction and hydration in one 40-minute treatment, with no recovery period.
Specialist Dermatologist on site: Dr. Anjali Shere.
Three sessions AED 599
What happens in the 40 minutes
Cleanse and exfoliate
The surface layer of dead skin is lifted away, which allows what follows to reach the skin rather than sitting on top of it.
Extraction by suction
Blackheads and congestion are drawn out with gentle vacuum rather than squeezed. This is what makes it different from a traditional clean-up, and why skin is usually not left red and marked.
Hydrate and protect
Serums are delivered into freshly cleared skin, at the point it is most ready to absorb them.
Walk out and carry on
No peeling and no recovery period. Makeup can usually go straight back on, which is why people book it before an event.
Who it suits
Single session or a course
One session
Good before an event, or as a first treatment to see how your skin responds.
AED 249
Three sessions
Congestion and texture are usually treated over a course rather than in one visit. Sessions are typically spaced about four weeks apart.
AED 599
Prices exclude 5% VAT. Pay in 4 interest-free instalments with Tabby or Tamara. Courses are non-refundable, non-transferable and valid for six months from purchase.
Common questions
Will my skin be red afterwards?
Usually not. Some people have a light flush for half an hour or so. There is no peeling and no recovery period, which is the main reason this treatment is chosen over a deeper peel.
Can I have it before a wedding or event?
Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons people book. Two or three days before is ideal so skin has settled completely. If it is your first, come a few weeks earlier so you know how your skin behaves.
How often should I have one?
Around every four weeks suits most skin. Congestion and texture are usually treated with repeat sessions rather than one deep treatment, which is why the three-session course exists.
I have active acne. Can I still have it?
Sometimes, and sometimes acne needs treating properly first. If acne is your main concern, book a skin consultation with our dermatologist instead and let the plan come from there.
How is it different from an ordinary facial?
Extraction is done by suction rather than by hand, and the serums go in immediately afterwards while the skin is freshly cleared. There is no marking from manual squeezing.
Men too?
Yes. Congestion, blackheads and dull skin are not gendered, and the treatment works around a beard without difficulty.
