Why 3D-HydrO2 facial?
During a 3D-HydrO2 facial, the therapist will choose from one or all of the available facials technologies to create completely bespoke treatment packages. These include Radiofrequency Skin Tightening, Hydro Peel, Deep Cleanse, Oxygenation, Skin Lifting, Hydration and a Cryo Facial. Technologies can be combined for a complete prescriptive approach depending on the individual client’s skin concerns.
How does the treatment work?
3D HYDROPEEL: Uses a combination of three solutions to cleanse and smooth the skin using an AHA based solution. It hydrates and nourishes the skin using RH-Oligopeptide-1 and Acetyl Hexapeptide base. Bacteria and inflamed skin are improved using a BHA solution. Vacuum action removes impurities from congested areas of skin.
EXFOLIATION: Exfoliation is via a single use capsule containing citric acid and sodium bicarbonate. When combined with glycerol, a foaming effect is created producing carbon dioxide which induces the release of oxygen from red blood cells. When oxygen is naturally released to the skin from inside the body, it results in a true oxygenation.
OXYGENATION: A lack of oxygen slows down cell metabolism, ages cells prematurely, reduces skin firmness and creates a dull complexion. 3D HydrO2 Facial will supply 25% oxygen and other specially selected ingredients to the upper layers of the epidermis and to increase blood flow, cell regeneration and help to minimise free radical damage. Some bacteria are unable to live in oxygen so the treatment can also have a positive effect on congestion.
HYDRATION: After applying a hydrating mask, ultrasound technology is used over the top in order to infuse the product into the skin. Its thermal action has a stimulating effect on the blood flow and activates cell metabolism. The biochemical effects trigger a micro massage in the tissue which stimulates the formation of new collagen.
SKIN LIFTING: Electroporation technology momentarily creates spaces in the outer layers of the skin enabling greater absorption of specially selected products that are applied topically. Using a combination of iontophoresis and anti-gravity actions, this hand piece also produces a minor muscle contraction and lifting effect.
SKIN TIGHTENING: Tri-polar radiofrequency delivers the energy directly into the dermis, raising the temperature to between 40-42 degrees. This causes an immediate contraction of existing mature collagen fibres and stimulation of the fibroblasts which results in the production of new collagen and a lasting, firmer, healthier skin.
CRYO FACIAL: The ‘Cryo-facial’ is a dual modality hand piece which uses heat and cooling technology. The skin temperature is heated to 42 degrees, which dilates the pores for deeper cleansing and also creates heat shock proteins—these are chemical messengers that trigger repair mechanisms to improve elasticity and firmness of the skin. The cooling aspect, chills the skin down to 5 degrees and is used at the end of each facial to give a further tightening and helps to seal infused products into the skin.
Am I a suitable candidate for this treatment?
Yes! As long as you are over the age of 18 and don’t have any of our medical contraindications, you are suitable to have this treatment. This is because our technologies allow us to customise the treatment to suit your skin type and concerns.
How do I know which is the best facial for me?
Your therapist will sit with you during a consultation to discuss your facial concerns and will then be able to advise which facial and technologies are best suited to help you.
How long does the facial take?
The treatments last anywhere between 30 minutes and 1 hour and 30 minutes depending on which facial you have. Your therapist will be able to advise on the length of treatment based on your facial selection.
What will I feel during the treatment?
During this treatment you will experience varying sensations depending on the technologies that are used by your therapist. However, the overall feeling is very relaxing, cooling and completely pain free. Our skin lifting technology may trigger slight twitching due to the muscle contractions caused by the treatment, but this is normal and does not cause any discomfort.
How will my skin react to the treatment?
You may experience minor erythema (redness) post treatment however this is reduced due to the cryo facial that is used at the end of each treatment.
What results can I expect?
The results from this treatment will vary depending on which facial you choose. However, all of theses facials result in a smooth, hydrated and glowing appearance. Our anti-ageing facials will also display a tightened finish to the skin while our congestion facial will help with skin texture and bacteria.
How many treatments are recommended?
We recommend a course of 8 weekly treatments with results being visible following the 2nd treatment. Theses will continue to improve throughout the duration of the course. Maintenance treatments may be recommended by your 3D-Hydro2 Facial specialist to ensure long lasting results.
Is there any downtime following treatment?
As theses facials are completely non-surgical, there is no downtime from the treatments and you can continue with your day-to-day activities straight away.
What is the aftercare required?
There is no aftercare formally required, however, we will always recommend that you protect your skin SPF30+. Your therapist will also be able to recommend 3D-Professional Solutions skincare products that are suitable to your skin type to assistbin your home regime to help maintain results.
