HydroFacials
There are a number of medical grade non-surgical HydroFacial machines approved for use by trained aestheticians and by far the best is the 3D HydroFacial.
Dubbed ‘the ultimate #FiveStarFacial’, this 7-in-1 multi-technology facial device from 3D Aesthetics offers the complete facial solution for an array of skin concerns. The 3D HydroFacial is designed to target universal facial concerns including hydration, oxygenation, anti-ageing, brightening, skin tightening and congestion. By utilising seven different technologies, expert aestheticians can offer more prescriptive, versatile and rounded facials than ever before. These technologies smooth, hydrate and cleanse the skin resulting in a glowing, more youthful appearance.

By utilising seven different technologies we can offer a complete prescriptive approach allowing you to choose from one or all of the available technologies to create completely bespoke treatment packages to suit all of your individual needs ensuring fantastic results; ranging from 30 minutes for an ‘express’ facial, to 90 minutes for a ‘deluxe’ facial.
3D HydroFacial combines the benefits of two of the most sought-after facials on the UK market along with five other result-driven technologies to give you glowing, brighter and more youthful-looking skin. This treatment provides the complete facial solution to target an array of universal skin concerns, including dehydration, ageing, loose skin, dull complexion and congestion.
The seven different technologies are;
Radio Frequency Skin Tightening,
Hydro Peel,
Deep Cleanse,
Oxygenation,
Skin Lifting,
Hydration and
Cryo Facial for improved congestion resulting in glowing, brighter, more youthful-looking skin.
The treatment has received extensive press coverage in the media, with celebrities including Billie Faiers, Danielle Lloyd, Christina Rihanoff, The Singing Dentist & Luisa Zissman all raving about the treatment.
Step 1 - Hydro Peel/ Deep Cleanse
The Hydro Peel treatment uses a combination of three solutions to cleanse and smooth the skin.
The AHA solution contains lactic acid and glycolic acid to dissolve keratin and smooths the skin’s texture while deep cleansing the pores.
The BHA solution contains salicylic acid to remove comedones, sebum and cleanse inner pores which is perfect for managing congestion and bacteria.
The final solution contains galactomyces ferment filtrate, hyaluronic acid and acetyl hexapeptide 8 to offer deep hydration and nourishment, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and provide elasticity and brightening to the skin.
Using a vacuum tip, skin is drawn onto the handpiece to infuse specialist AHA and BHA solutions providing a deep cleanse and hydration while aiding extraction.
Step 2 - Exfoliation/Oxygenation
The Exfoliation technology allows oxygen to be drawn into the skin. A vibration cleanser provides deep exfoliation by buffing the skin and is used with an exfoliation capsule containing active ingredients, such as sodium bicarbonate and citric acid, which results in clearer, hydrated and brighter skin.
When the capsule is combined with the glycerol-based gel it will create an effervescent effect. CO2 is produced during this ‘reaction’, inducing a release of oxygen from increased red blood cells.
Encouraging the blood to deliver oxygen to the skin is known as the ‘Bohr Effect’. When oxygen is naturally released to the skin from inside of the body, it results in true oxygenation and is far more effective than external oxygenation.
The active ingredients used are Kojic Acid and Retinol which result in a hydrating and brightening effect.
Step 3 - Oxygenation
A lack of oxygen slows down cell metabolism, ages the cell prematurely, reduces skin firmness and gives a pale ashen complexion.
This technology encourages maximum absorption allowing intense skin hydration.
The Oxygenation spray creates a Venturi effect which, by breaking down the molecules within the product, encourages maximum absorption allowing intense skin hydration.
Applying oxygen to the skin with this technology helps to increase cell metabolism.
Some bacteria are not able to live in oxygen, so applying oxygen to the skin effectively yields an anti-bacterial effect, thereby having a positive effect on congestion.
Step 5 - Skin Tightening
This step uses a warm applicator and Radio Frequency technology to increase collagen reproduction in mature skin.
Tri-polar Radio Frequency delivers energy specifically into the dermis, creating heat, increasing the temperature in the dermis to a constant 40-42°c.
Fibroblasts are the connective tissue cells that produce collagen and elastin.
By heating the dermis, this causes an immediate contraction of the existing mature collagen cells, in turn stimulating fibroblast action.
This results in the production of new collagen, an increase in the diameter of the collagen and the spaces between the fibres are visibly reduced under the microscope increasing the density of the dermal layer, giving a skin tightening effect.
Skin Tightening is ideal for incorporating into an anti-ageing facial.
Step 6 - Hydration
Ultrasound technology is used for product infusion and increases hydration in the deeper layer of the skin and can be used in combination with specialist skin care treatments for anti-ageing and hydration around areas where fine lines and wrinkles are likely to appear.
The Ultrasound used in cosmetic applications has both Thermal and Biochemical effects.
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 influences the fibroblasts and stimulates the formation of new collagen.
The frequency of the ultrasound allows more active ingredients to penetrate the skin’s barrier
Step 7 - Fire & Ice
The Fire and Ice plate is a dual modality handpiece that produces a maximum of 42°c warming and a minimum of 5°c ice cooling.
By repeatedly bringing the skin to a temp of 42°c this helps to create heat-shock proteins.
These are the proteins that are produced by cells in response to exposure to stressful conditions.
They help to repair the skin and strengthen the skins elasticity.
42°c helps to dilate (open) the pores, increase blood supply, and aid product infusion for deep cleansing.
The ‘Cryo facial’ uses cooling technology, chilling the skin down to 5˚C.
The 5°c instantly tightens the pores, decreases the surface blood supply giving an instant brightening and tightening effect on the skin and also seals in the infused products.
This also helps to reduce any erythema (redness) following treatment.
Step 4 - Skin Lifting
Electro -ion technology is used for skin lifting and uses electroporation to increase the absorbency of the cell for product penetration.
Ultrasound vibrations momentarily create spaces in the outer layers of the skin. By disrupting this barrier, it allows greater absorption of the applied product.
Using iontophoresis and anti-gravity actions, the handpiece enables the facial serums to penetrate deeper into the skin’s sub surface and also gives a slight muscle contraction and lifting effect.
This, in turn, revitalises and ‘wakes up’ dull and lifeless skin.
