At VE Aesthetics, we offer the original HydraFacial treatment — a non-invasive, multi-step facial that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant infusion. Backed by patented technology, this treatment is designed to support skin health across a variety of skin types and concerns.
What is HydraFacial?
HydraFacial is a non-surgical, medical-grade facial treatment that uses Vortex-Fusion® technology to cleanse, exfoliate, extract impurities, and hydrate the skin simultaneously. It involves a customisable three-step process tailored to your skin’s needs:
- Cleanse + Peel
Gently exfoliates the skin and removes dead skin cells for a refreshed appearance. - Extract + Hydrate
Uses painless suction to remove debris from pores while nourishing the skin with intense moisturisers. - Fuse + Protect
Delivers antioxidants and peptides to help support skin barrier function and improve overall tone and texture.
How HydraFacial Works?
HydraFacial uses proprietary HydroPeel® Tips and a spiral design to create a vortex effect, enabling efficient delivery of customised serums while gently removing surface impurities. The treatment is typically well-tolerated, requires no downtime, and is suitable for a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin.
