HydraFacial

HydraFacial combines exfoliation, suction-based extraction and hydrating serums in one facial. Signature takes 30 minutes, Deluxe 45 minutes and Platinum 60 minutes. Face-only prices are $190, $230 and $270 respectively; face, neck and décolleté options are $260, $300 and $340. HydraLift is a separate 75-minute combination treatment at $390 for the face. All prices are in AUD.

Signature offers the core cleanse, peel, extraction and hydration steps. Deluxe adds a customised booster and LED red light therapy. Platinum includes lymphatic drainage. Choose by the steps you want and the concerns you would like assessed, rather than assuming the longest appointment is best for every skin. We can confirm the planned inclusions and suitability before treatment.

The handpiece uses suction and circulating solution to lift oil and debris from pores. Rather than manual squeezing, the extraction is performed through the treatment tip. You may notice the suction against your skin; tell your therapist if it feels uncomfortable so the pressure can be adjusted.

HydraLift combines Deluxe HydraFacial with DiamondPolar radiofrequency, which is used for the appearance of skin firmness. The face treatment costs $390 and takes 75 minutes. Unlike the three core HydraFacial options, it includes an additional energy-based treatment, so suitability needs a separate assessment.

HydraFacial is used for the appearance of dryness, dullness, clogged pores, uneven texture and fine lines. A booster can be selected for more targeted concerns. It is not suitable for every skin condition: active inflammation, infection or broken skin needs assessment before any cosmetic treatment.

Sensitive skin does not always rule out treatment. The tip, solutions and suction can be adjusted, and a sensitivity test may be appropriate. Tell us about previous reactions and current products. Active irritation, a rash or sunburn is a reason to pause and have your skin assessed first.

HydraFacial generally involves little downtime, although temporary redness, tightness or irritation can occur. The manufacturer says makeup can be worn afterwards; if your skin is still pink or sensitive, wait and follow the aftercare given at your appointment. Allow some flexibility if you are booking before an event.

For maintenance, the manufacturer commonly recommends about one treatment a month. Some people prefer a longer interval. Your skin response, routine and goals should guide the schedule; you do not need to commit to a course to try one appointment. Results and how long they last vary.

Before your visit, tell us about retinol, exfoliating acids, acne medicines and recent skin procedures. Afterwards, use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser, protect your skin from the sun, and use SPF 30 or higher. Avoid adding extra exfoliation straight away; ask when to restart your usual active products. Do not change prescribed medicines without your prescriber’s advice.

Some treatments can be planned together, including LOMORE’s HydraLift. Tell us about any recent peel, laser, injectable or other procedure before booking so the timing can be checked. Postpone if you have sunburn, an active cold sore, infection or broken skin. After an invasive procedure, treatment should wait until the area has healed and your treating practitioner has cleared it.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please contact us before booking. Changing serums alone does not establish that HydraFacial is suitable. We need to check the instructions for the device and products involved, and may recommend postponing or choosing an alternative facial. Your maternity-care professional can advise on skincare ingredients.
