Do Hydrafacials really work?

What happens in a Hydrafacial?
The Hydrafacial includes a cleanse which resurfaces the skin, removes dead skin cells and preps the skin for the remaining steps. A ‘Glysal’ peel which is a mixture of glycolic and salicylic acid will then be applied to the skin to bring everything to the surface and soften blackheads and impurities ready for the next step which is extractions. We then extract and hydrate the skin, removing black heads, white heads and dead skin. To finish a cocktail of antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid is applied which will protect and hydrate the skin while also improving texture, clarity and the signs of ageing.
