What is a HydraFacial?
Welcome to a new era of skincare with the HydraFacial, a transformative treatment that will revolutionise your skin. Dr Fresh Clinic in Melbourne proudly offers this cutting-edge procedure that combines advanced technology with a personalised approach to give you the ultimate skincare experience.
Harnessing the power of its unique patented Vortex-Fusion delivery system, the HydraFacial is a non-invasive treatment and resurfacing treatment that takes your skin on a journey of rejuvenation and renewal through cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration. It begins with deep cleansing for thorough cleansing, helping clear clogged pores, lift away excess oil, and reduce dead cell build-up, setting the foundation for healthier skin. Next, a deeply exfoliating step focuses on removing dead skin cells from the skin’s surface to refine skin texture and improve tone and texture. But the magic doesn’t stop there – using patented vortex fusion technology, the HydraFacial then infuses nutrient-rich serums to quench skin with deep hydration, nourishing it from within.

F A Q
Is There Any Downtime After a HydraFacial?
No, there is no downtime required after a HydraFacial. Mild redness or tightness can occur after this non invasive treatment, but it usually settles within a few hours and supports skin rejuvenation, skin radiance, and a healthy complexion. It is less intensive than a chemical peel, and when paired with LED light therapy it can reduce inflammation while still offering a no-downtime option for radiant skin, brighter complexion, skin health, overall skin health, overall health, long term skin health, and all the benefits. You can go back to your daily activities straight away.

Can The HydraFacial Be Customised for My Specific Skin Concerns?
Absolutely! The HydraFacial treatment is highly customisable. Our skincare experts at Dr Fresh Clinic will assess your skin and tailor the treatment to address your unique needs and goals. Boosters can be selected to treat different skin conditions, including fine lines, pigmentation and uneven skin tone, so you get all the benefits in a plan designed for optimal skin health and overall skin health. Its multi-step approach can also include led light therapy to reduce inflammation, support collagen production and skin health, as well as lymphatic drainage to stimulate the lymphatic system. We also use nourishing serums and nutrient rich serums, and these medical-grade formulas may include hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and peptides to deliver deep hydration and support skin health.
Is The HydraFacial Suitable for All Skin Types?
Yes, the HydraFacial is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It can help with common skin concerns and is a gentle, non-irritating procedure that can be customised to suit your skin’s specific requirements, whether you have oily skin, dry skin, or combination skin, as well as concerns such as mild acne, enlarged pores, or clogged pores. That said, if you have active rashes, severe rosacea, severe nodulocystic acne, or sunburn, you should avoid treatment and first speak with a qualified dermal clinician or dermatologist about these skin conditions. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and shellfish allergy are also reasons to avoid treatment and seek advice from dermal clinicians or your appropriate healthcare professional beforehand.
What are HydraFacial Benefits?
HydraFacial delivers multiple benefits in a single treatment session. Here are 7 key benefits our Melbourne patients experience:

How HydraFacial Works: The Treatment Process
Step 1: Consultation and Skin Assessment
Our skin professional assesses your skin type, discusses your concerns, and determines the most appropriate treatment protocol. This ensures your HydraFacial is customised for optimal results.
Step 2: Cleanse and Peel
The first treatment step removes dead skin cells and surface impurities. A combination of glycolic and salicylic acids gently exfoliates the skin, loosening dirt and debris from pores without irritation.
Step 3: Extract and Hydrate
Using the Vortex-Fusion tip, the HydraFacial device creates painless suction that extracts blackheads, sebum, and impurities from pores. Simultaneously, the skin is bathed in intense moisturisers and hyaluronic acid.
Step 4: Fuse and Protect
Infusion of serums containing antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid.
Step 5: Customisation (Optional)
Optional boosters or LED light therapy to target specific concerns.
Step 6: Aftercare Guidance
Advice to help maintain and support your results.
