HA Facial
Hydrate dry skin, support the skin barrier, and improve skin radiance
Dry, dehydrated, or stressed skin often loses moisture faster than it can replenish it. An HA facial addresses this by delivering Hyaluronic Acid (HA) into the skin’s surface layers. This may help reduce signs of moisture loss and support a smoother, more radiant-looking complexion over time.
- Non-invasive dermal hydration
- Targeted barrier support
- Minimal post-treatment downtime
About Treatment: What is a Hydrating HA Facial?
A hydrating HA facial is a facial treatment that uses products containing Hyaluronic Acid (HA) to support skin hydration and improve the appearance of dry or dehydrated skin. Hyaluronic Acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the body and is known for its ability to bind and retain water, helping the skin maintain moisture.
Environmental factors, air conditioning, and ageing can speed up Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL), which may leave skin looking dull, flaky, or prone to fine lines. A hydrating HA facial typically combines HA serums with delivery methods, such as iontophoresis, sonophoresis, or oxygen infusion, to help the serum absorb into the skin more evenly.

How It Works: The Hydration Infusion Process
Step 1: Cleansing and prep
The skin is cleansed to remove surface oil and makeup. A gentle exfoliant is then applied to help clear away dead skin cells, preparing the skin for better serum absorption.
Step 2: Hyaluronic acid infusion
A Hyaluronic Acid serum is applied using energy-assisted techniques to help the HA reach the skin's surface layers. This step is intended to help hydrate skin cells and may help smooth the appearance of fine lines.
Step 3: Moisture lock and barrier support
The treatment ends with a hydrating mask and barrier-supporting cream. This step helps lock in moisture and may support the skin's natural defence against external irritants.

Concerns We Can Treat
While the face is the most common area treated, a hydrating facial treatment may also be performed on other areas where the skin can become dehydrated:
The face
Targets dry areas around the cheeks, forehead, and mouth.
The neck and décolletage
Addresses skin in this area, which can be more delicate and prone to dehydration lines.
The peri-orbital area
Treats the delicate skin under the eyes, which may help reduce the appearance of dry, fine lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a clinical HA facial differ from a regular spa facial?
Regular spa facials typically rely on manual massage and over-the-counter creams that sit on top of the skin. An HA facial uses Hyaluronic Acid formulations paired with energy-assisted devices, such as ultrasound or galvanic currents, which may help the serum reach the skin’s surface layers more effectively.
Is there any downtime?
This treatment typically involves minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their daily activities shortly after, though individual skin response can vary.
Who is the ideal candidate for this treatment?
This facial is generally suitable for a range of skin types, including sensitive, acne-prone, and mature skin. It may be helpful for individuals dealing with dullness, dryness, or tight-feeling skin, including those who spend long periods in air-conditioned environments. A consultation can help determine if this treatment is right for you.
How many sessions are recommended?
Some people notice a change in skin brightness and texture after one session, though results vary between individuals. For ongoing skin hydration, a treatment every 3 to 4 weeks is commonly recommended. Your practitioner can suggest a schedule based on your skin’s needs.
