Concerns it addresses
What Hydrafacial treats
You notice it when foundation starts sitting patchily by lunchtime and the nose looks busier than it should. HydraFacial is a machine-assisted clinical facial: a handpiece with a spiral tip runs across the skin under vacuum pressure, delivering serum and extracting debris at the same time. The vacuum lifts congestion cleanly out of each pore, so skin stays calm and comfortable throughout.
Skin
Dry & Dull Skin
The dull outer layer removed and hydrating serum pushed in while the pore is open.
Skin
Adult Hormonal Acne
Congestion cleared with gentle suction and no heat, a lovely option for reactive skin that prefers to skip peels.

What the treatment does
How Does a HydraFacial Work?
The treatment runs in a fixed sequence, each step using a different tip and serum.
01
Step 1
Cleanse and peel
A gentle glycolic and salicylic solution loosens the outer layer of dead cells and softens what is sitting in the pores.
02
Step 2
Extract
Vacuum suction lifts blackheads and sebum out of the follicle. This is the step people book it for, and you can see exactly what came out in the canister afterwards, which most patients find wonderfully satisfying.
03
Step 3
Hydrate
Hyaluronic acid and antioxidant serum are pushed into the skin under the same vacuum pressure while it is at its most receptive.
04
Optional
Boosters and LED
Optional targeted serums for pigmentation, congestion or ageing, plus LED phototherapy on the longer treatments.

Questions patients ask
Frequently asked questions
A machine-assisted clinical facial that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts and hydrates in one sequence. A spiral handpiece under vacuum pressure delivers serum and lifts congestion out of the pores at the same time, so extraction happens without manual squeezing.
Skin that could simply look better. A little dull, a bit congested, blackheads across the nose, foundation going patchy by lunchtime. It is exactly what a clinical facial on Wimpole Street does best.
It suits almost everyone, from teenage congestion to skin that prefers to skip peels or lasers. Your therapist runs through your skin history at the start of the appointment.
It clears congestion and blackheads, removes the dull outer layer of dead skin, and pushes hydrating and antioxidant serums into the skin under vacuum. The result is brighter, smoother, better hydrated skin the same day.
From £110 for the 30 minute Express at our Marylebone clinic, £165 Deluxe and £215 Platinum.
For congestion, dullness and dehydration, yes, and the no-downtime aspect makes it unusually practical. Lines, laxity and deep scarring have their own dedicated treatments at the clinic, and HydraFacial pairs beautifully with each of them.
Yes. The extraction and hydration effects are real and visible the same day: clearer pores, brighter tone and skin that feels beautifully smooth. For lift and firmness, your therapist can point you to the clinic’s skin tightening treatments.
The glow lasts five to seven days. The clearing of congestion lasts three to four weeks, which is why treatments are spaced four to six weeks apart.
Thirty minutes for the Express, sixty for the Deluxe, seventy five for Platinum and Fire and Ice.
Every four to six weeks to hold skin at its best. Congested skin benefits from three or four in closer succession first. One-off treatments before an event are perfectly reasonable.
It feels like a cool, slightly scratchy massage with suction, and most patients find it relaxing. The extraction over the nose is the most noticeable part and lasts moments.
None in most cases. Skin may be slightly pink for under an hour. Makeup can go straight back on and you can return to work immediately.
Yes, and it is often the treatment we suggest for sensitive skin that prefers to skip peels or lasers. Your therapist checks your skin on the day and tailors the boosters to it.
It suits most skin tones after a skin check. The treatment uses no light or heat and leaves pigment alone, so lighter and deeper skin alike can enjoy a clear, bright result.
Some patients get a small number of spots in the first few days as loosened congestion works its way out. It settles quickly and is a sign the treatment is doing its job.
Yes, and it is one of the better choices. Book the Platinum three to five days beforehand, which gives skin time to settle into its brightest.
One of our skin therapists. Non-injectable treatments at Regents Park Aesthetics are performed by therapists rather than our prescribing clinicians, which is standard and appropriate for this treatment.
Express is the core cleanse, extract and hydrate in thirty minutes. Deluxe adds a targeted booster serum and LED. Platinum adds lymphatic drainage beforehand to reduce puffiness, plus a booster and LED.
