What does the treatment feel like?

Numbing cream will be applied to the area to be treated to ensure comfort. The SkinPen device is then used to glide over the skin, where the tiny needles are pressed against the skin, painlessly piercing its outermost layers. This procedure takes approximately 30 minutes.

What are the possible side effects?

There are mild post-procedure effects, similar to a mild to moderate sunburn, with a quick 24 hour recovery time. You may have some initial redness and swelling for a few hours. You may also have some dryness and flakiness of your skin after a couple days. Full aftercare advice is provided and it is important to follow these instructions carefully.

Is it Safe?

One goal of every microneedling procedure is to create as little pain or discomfort for the patient as possible. Most patients tolerate the procedure amazingly well, although this is somewhat dependent on the area being treated and the severity of the problem. Under most circumstances the treated area recovers very rapidly after skin needling. That being said, there are occasional microneedling side effects, including swelling, infections, a flare up of cold sores or mild acne, hyperpigmentation. Most of these are preventable by ensuring correct technique, needle depth and proper aftercare.

Treatment areas?

Treatment areas: face, décolletage, chest, hands, hair, stretch marks, burns, other scarring.

How often will I need treatment?

Typically 3-6 procedures for optimal results, one per month and then to maintain the results, one treatment is recommended every 6 months.

Can I use this with other treatments?

Absolutely! Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment combinable with any number of cosmetic procedures, among them injectable fillers, chemical peels, laser resurfacing, microdermabrasion, and other traditional cosmetic procedures. At FaceOxford, we also combine this treatment with PRP for even more amazing results.

SkinPen

At FaceOxford, we use the SkinPen device. This is the only 100% completely sealed cartridge on the market to prevent fluid intake, which removes any possibility of cross contamination.

HydraFacial is one of our most popular treatments because it delivers an immediate improvement in skin health, hydration and radiance without the downtime associated with more intensive treatments.

Every treatment is tailored to your skin on the day. Whether you’re concerned about congestion, dehydration, dullness or simply want healthier-looking skin, HydraFacial gently cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities and infuses the skin with nourishing ingredients to leave it feeling refreshed and glowing.

At Face Oxford, we take an evidence-based approach to skin health. If HydraFacial is the right treatment for your skin, we’ll tell you. If something else is likely to give you a better result, we’ll tell you that too.

Deep cleansing, exfoliating HydraFacial at Face Oxford, Jericho

HydraFacial is suitable for most skin types and can be tailored to many different skin concerns. However, treatment may not be appropriate if you:

  • are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • have a known allergy to salicylic acid (salicylates) or any treatment ingredients
  • have an active skin infection, cold sore or open wound in the treatment area
  • have significant sunburn or severely irritated skin
  • are taking isotretinoin (Roaccutane) or have recently completed a course
  • have recently had laser resurfacing, medium/deep chemical peels or other procedures where the skin has not fully healed

Before every treatment we’ll review your medical history, medications and skin condition to ensure HydraFacial is safe and appropriate for you. If we don’t think it’s the best option, we’ll explain why and recommend a more suitable alternative where appropriate.

A HydraFacial is a patented, non-invasive skin treatment designed for all skin types. It’s a hydradermabrasion treatment that cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates the skin for the best skin of your life.

The treatment can be given in as little as 30-minutes and gives instant, long-term results. There is no pain or downtime, even during the extraction stage of the treatment.

Some patients choose HydraFacial every 4–6 weeks to maintain healthy skin, although others book before holidays, weddings or special occasions for an instant boost.

We also have HydraFacial as part of our memberships, so we can chose between this and other treatments depending on how your skin is, or what we are working on. 

Yes. Most people notice brighter, smoother and more hydrated skin straight after treatment. The skin often continues to improve over the following few days.

As with all things, if you do this as part os a skin health routine, which includes skincare at home and regular treatments (evev if these are only every 2-3 months) you will see better, longer lasting results.

No. HydraFacial is a comfortable treatment with no needles or downtime. Most patients describe it as relaxing, with the extraction stage feeling like a gentle vacuum rather than anything painful.

There is usually no downtime, so most people return to work or normal activities immediately. We recommend avoiding intense exercise, excessive heat and active skincare ingredients for the first 24 hours.

HydraFacial is excellent for improving hydration, radiance and overall skin health. If your main concerns are acne scarring, pigmentation, skin laxity or deeper lines, we may recommend treatments such as SkinPen Microneedling or NeoGen Plasma instead. We’ll always recommend the treatment that’s most appropriate for your skin.

Yes. HydraFacial works particularly well alongside Dermalux LED and can also complement treatments such as SkinPen Microneedling and NeoGen as part of a personalised treatment plan. It also forms part of the options of our skin memberships, which allow us to work with your skin over a longer time and therefore really maximises your reults. 

For Hydrafacial, most people can have treatment without a separate consultation. If your skin is more complicated, we may recommend you swop to a full skin consultation before any treatment. This does not happen often, but we always prioritise your skin health as our number one priority. 

For the majority of people, you will have a mini consult before your treatment. If you are happy to go ahead and after you have completed our skin health form and signed the consent form, we can begin! 

Please view prices of each option our booking system, using the BOOK NOW buttons on this page (Prices start from £124 for the 30 minute Signature treatment).

What is the treatment like?

To ensure it is as comfortable for you as possible, a local anaesthetic cream is applied before commencing the procedure. You can expect a small degree of swelling when treating the eye area, which will go down within 3 or 4 days. Tiny, circular scabs form at each treatment point that take about 3 days to start falling away, but will take about a week to completely clear. We will give you aftercare to minimise infection risk, but it is very important you do not pick at the scabs.

Prices

£60 - For up to 3 lesions
£120 - For up to 10 lesions
£180 - For over 10 lesions

Results

Results take effect after 24 hours once the swelling has go down and the skin starts to repair the cells.

How to prepare your skin for Dermaplaning?

To maximize the benefits and avoid any irritation, make sure you prep your skin in the following ways:
• Stop exfoliating: To ensure the skin is not damaged by over-exfoliation, discontinue all exfoliants, including AHAs, BHAs, enzymes, micro-beads, and retinoids for five to seven days.
• Skip the retinol and the sunbathing: If you’re currently using Retin-A, discontinue use for seven to fourteen days prior to the treatment. You should also avoid sun exposure for five to seven days prior to ensure you do not have a sunburn.
• Let your hair grow: Hair removal such as waxing, threading, and shaving should be avoided for at least two weeks before dermaplaning.
• If you breakout… In the event of active acne and raised lesions on the day of treatment, it’s best to reschedule until the skin is fully healed. There is also a six-month waiting period after Roaccutane.

What is the treatment like?

First, we will cleanse and thoroughly dry your skin. Next, we pull an area of your skin taut with one hand, and hold a sterile blade at a 45 degree angle in the other hand and use short, swift strokes to scrape off dead skin cells and peach fuzz. This treatment is pain free and your appointment will take approximately 45 minutes. After the dermaplaning, you can have a moisturising face mask applied, followed by SPF.

Who can have dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is recommended for all skin types except those with acneic skin. As always, also discuss any allergies or skin sensitivities before starting a treatment. This is a great treatment if you are pregnant or nursing and want exfoliation without the risk of harsh chemicals absorbing into the blood stream and potentially harming your baby.

Will hair removed grow back thicker?

NO, hair will not come back thicker, darker or coarser than it was before having the treatment. Some caution is needed around the chin and top lip, but this will be assessed and discussed with you.

Aftercare?

Most people have zero downtime, however each person is individual and those with sensitive skin may have a little redness, heat or sensitivity. This is normal and usually resolves within a few hours.

Your skin is able to absorb products more easily, so really a good skincare regime is recommended after dermaplaning. In addition, you will be more sensitive to UV light, so SPF 50 is essential.

Full aftercare instructions will be provided.

Prices

£40 - Express 30 mins
£60 - Luxury 45 mins (using specially selected treatments from the Alumier MD range to care for and hydrate your skin after the Dermaplaning).
