Hydrafacial
For dull skin, clogged pores, blackheads, dehydration and gentle deep cleansing
At Clinic RX, Hydrafacial treatment is personalised according to your skin condition, sensitivity and selected serum boosters, making it suitable for concerns such as dullness, clogged pores, blackheads, dehydration and mild uneven skin texture.
Most patients experience little to no downtime, making Hydrafacial suitable for regular skin maintenance or when you want a fresher, brighter and more hydrated-looking complexion before an important occasion.
What Is Hydrafacial?
Hydrafacial is a multi-step facial treatment performed using a specialised handheld device and patented Vortex-Fusion® technology. Instead of performing cleansing, exfoliation, extraction and hydration as separate manual facial steps, Hydrafacial combines these processes into one streamlined treatment.
- Cleansing & exfoliating – removes accumulated dead skin cells and surface impurities.
- Extracting – gentle vortex suction helps remove oil, debris and impurities from clogged pores.
- Hydrating & infusing – hydrating and targeted serums are delivered to the freshly cleansed skin.
The treatment can also be customised with selected boosters depending on your skin concerns and treatment goals.
How Does Hydrafacial Work?
The Hydrafacial handpiece uses a specially designed spiral tip together with controlled suction and treatment solutions. During treatment, dead skin cells and surface buildup are loosened and removed before Vortex-Fusion® suction helps extract impurities from the pores. Hydrating and targeted serums are then delivered to the skin.
At Clinic RX, the treatment protocol can be personalised according to your skin type, sensitivity and primary skin concerns. This allows Hydrafacial to address different skin needs rather than following exactly the same protocol for every patient.
What Can Hydrafacial Help With?
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Clogged or congested pores
- Blackheads
- Dry or dehydrated skin
- Mild uneven skin texture
- Rough-feeling skin
- Early fine lines in suitable protocols
- Overall skin radiance
It can also be used as part of regular skin maintenance or as a skin-refresh treatment before an important occasion. An assessment is recommended to determine whether Hydrafacial is appropriate for your particular skin concern.
Areas That Can Be Treated with Hydrafacial
Hydrafacial can be used on several areas where cleansing, exfoliation, extraction and hydration may be beneficial:
- Face - full face or targeted zones such as the T-zone
- Neck
- Décolletage (chest)
- Hands
- Back - in selected protocols
Treatable areas should be confirmed during your assessment, as availability may vary by branch and treatment protocol.
What Happens During a Hydrafacial Treatment?
01Skin Assessment & Cleansing
Your skin is first cleansed and assessed so the appropriate treatment protocol can be selected.
02Exfoliation
A gentle exfoliating solution helps loosen accumulated dead skin cells and surface buildup.
03Vortex Extraction
The Hydrafacial tip uses controlled suction to help remove oil, debris and impurities from congested pores without traditional manual squeezing.
04Hydration & Serum Infusion
Hydrating ingredients and selected serums are delivered to the freshly cleansed skin using Vortex-Fusion® technology.
05Protect & Finish
Appropriate finishing skincare and sun protection are applied or recommended following treatment.
Depending on your skin needs and the Hydrafacial protocol selected, additional boosters or treatment steps may also be recommended.
Can Hydrafacial Be Personalised for Different Skin Concerns?
Yes. One of the advantages of Hydrafacial is its ability to customise treatment according to different skin needs. Hydrafacial treatments use cleansing, exfoliating and hydrating solutions as part of the core treatment, while targeted boosters may be added depending on your skin concerns.
- Hydration
- Dullness and radiance
- Congestion and oiliness
- Uneven-looking skin tone
- Fine lines and early signs of ageing
- Overall skin maintenance
Your therapist will recommend an appropriate protocol based on your skin rather than selecting a booster based solely on the treatment name.
What Results Can I Expect from Hydrafacial?
- Brighter and more radiant-looking skin
- Smoother-feeling skin
- Improved skin hydration
- Fresher and plumper-looking skin
- Reduced appearance of pore congestion
- Cleaner-looking pores and blackheads
- Improved appearance of mild uneven texture
Improvements in hydration, smoothness and radiance may be noticeable immediately after treatment. For ongoing skin maintenance, regular treatments may be recommended depending on your skin concerns and response. Individual results vary.

Is There Downtime After Hydrafacial?
Hydrafacial typically involves little to no downtime for most patients. The skin may appear slightly pink immediately following treatment, particularly after exfoliation and extraction, but this usually settles within several hours.
Most patients can return to their normal daily activities after treatment. Because the skin has been freshly exfoliated, sun protection and gentle skincare are recommended following your session.
Hydrafacial Aftercare
- Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen consistently
- Keep your skin adequately hydrated
- Use gentle, non-irritating skincare
- Avoid aggressive scrubs or exfoliation immediately after treatment
- Temporarily avoid strong acids or irritating active ingredients if advised
