At Skin by Alien, HydraFacial isn’t treated as a one-size-fits-all facial. Every HydraFacial is customised to your skin’s condition and your treatment goals, allowing us to target multiple concerns within a single session.

The treatment itself works through a series of carefully designed steps that deeply cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate the skin while removing congestion from the pores.

The first stage focuses on gentle resurfacing, where the outermost layer of dead skin cells is exfoliated to reveal fresher skin beneath. This helps improve skin texture and allows the treatment serums to penetrate more effectively.

Next comes the extraction phase, where the HydraFacial device uses vortex suction technology to remove oil, debris and congestion from the pores. Unlike traditional manual extractions, this process is painless and controlled, helping to clear blocked pores without damaging the surrounding skin.

The treatment then moves into intensive hydration, where antioxidant-rich serums containing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, peptides and protective antioxidants are infused into the skin. These ingredients help replenish hydration, support the skin barrier and leave the skin looking brighter and more balanced.

Depending on your skin concerns, we can also incorporate HydraFacial boosters. These are targeted treatment serums designed to address specific issues such as pigmentation, fine lines, congestion, dehydration or dull skin.

Because HydraFacial can be customised in this way, it can be used to support a wide range of skin goals including:

• clearing congested or breakout-prone skin
• improving dull or dehydrated skin
• brightening uneven skin tone
• refining skin texture
• maintaining overall skin health

Your practitioner will assess your skin at the beginning of your appointment and recommend the most appropriate HydraFacial treatment and booster combination for you.

Choose your level - because great skin isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Think of boosters as serums with a specific mission.

These highly concentrated formulas are added to your HydraFacial to personalise the treatment and target particular skin concerns - whether that’s improving hydration, supporting collagen production, brightening pigmentation or calming reactive skin.

HydraFacial works with a number of leading skincare brands to develop these boosters, including collaborations with Murad, ZO Skin Health, NassifMD, Circadia, Omorovicza and JLO Beauty. 

Because new boosters are introduced regularly, the exact options available in clinic may evolve over time. Instead of offering the same facial to everyone, boosters allow us to tailor each HydraFacial to your skin’s needs on the day.

Some boosters focus on:

• collagen support and skin renewal
• pigmentation and uneven skin tone
• hydration and barrier repair
• redness and sensitive skin
• texture and fine lines

Your practitioner will assess your skin at the start of your appointment and recommend the most appropriate booster combination for your treatment.

HydraFacial is a versatile treatment designed to improve overall skin health while targeting specific concerns.

Because the treatment combines deep cleansing, exfoliation, painless extractions and intensive hydration, it can support a wide range of skin conditions.

HydraFacial is commonly used to help improve:

• Congested or breakout-prone skin
• Blocked pores and blackheads
• Dull or uneven skin tone
• Dehydrated or tired-looking skin
• Pigmentation and sun damage
• Fine lines and early signs of ageing

The treatment can also be customised using targeted boosters and LED therapy, allowing us to focus on the concerns most relevant to your skin.

During your consultation, your Skin by Alien practitioner will assess your skin and recommend the most appropriate HydraFacial treatment and booster combination.
