CLARIFY HYDRACLEAR FACIAL
Our HydraDerm machine, using specialised probes such as an Ultrasonic Scrubber carries out deep pore cleansing, while the Diamond Vortex probe complements the process by enhancing skin clarity through the application of a Peel solution enriched with Glycolic, Kojic, and Salicylic acids. The subsequent application of the Clarify Serum, which contains Salicylic acid, Vitamin C and Turmeric, effectively targets blemishes and congestion. The final touch of LED or High Frequency therapy in this facial works to combat excess sebum production and eliminate acne-inducing bacteria, ultimately ensuring a crystal-clear complexion

Tools and Products Used in The Hydraclear Facial
ULTRASONIC SKIN SCRUBBER
The ultrasonic skin scrubber emerges as a superior substitute for traditional steaming and manual extractions, especially for oily and congested skin conditions. With its magnetic-like pull, the device delves deep, harnessing high-speed oscillations to effortlessly draw out and remove ingrained impurities. By adeptly shedding dead skin layers, it unveils a radiant and velvety skin texture, perfectly primed for serum infusion and microneedling.
DIAMOND VORTEX TIP
The Revival HydraDerm machine, equipped with the cutting-edge diamond dermabrasion vortex tip, marks a transformative departure from conventional Hydra plastic tips. Our diamond counterpart delves deeper with exfoliation of dead skin cells. This advanced approach amplifies the potency of the Hydra peel solution and sets a new benchmark in the infusion process during the vortex phase, resulting in unmatched skincare results.
HIGH FREQUENCY
The inclusion of High Frequency in our HydraClear facials offers an antibacterial benefit for those with oily and acne-prone skin. By using oscillating electrical currents enriched with oxygen molecules, this technique delivers powerful antiseptic properties that target and eliminate skin impurities and bacteria. The result is a significant decrease in acne flare-ups and reduced pores, and well-regulated sebum production.
The Treatment Process
1: The Consultation
Utilising our advanced skin scanner, we'll meticulously assess your skin, analysing factors like sebum production, pore congestion, accumulation of dead skin, and pore dimensions. The detailed report generated from this assessment will inform our therapist's choice of products, treatment approaches, and machine tools during your peel. Based on these insights, we'll also recommend tailored homecare products to sustain and amplify your treatment outcomes.
2: PRE TREATMENT ADVICE
- If you have sensitive, allergy-prone skin, or intolerances to any skincare ingredients. (check the full ingredient list for these products).
- It is recommended to perform a patch test for the Peels 24 hours prior to having it for the first time.
- If you have any contagious facial conditions that have the potential to spread, wait until the skin is clear.
- There is no downtime with this treatment so you can resume your normal lifestyle schedule.

Dispense a pea-sized amount of Clarify Cleanser onto fingertips and apply uniformly to the face. Emulsify with water using circular motions to dissolve makeup and debris. Remove cleanser using facial gauze soaked in lukewarm water.
Step 2+3
Step 2
Apply Clarify Toner generously to the face. Glide the scrubber outwardly across the entire face for 5 minutes, reapplying toner as needed for smooth movement. Finish by removing residue with two damp cotton pads.
Step 3
Carry out the Diamond vortex-extraction nozzle with the Illumine Peel Solution starting with the right chin, cheek and forehead in outward direction supporting the skin and adjusting the vacuum pressure on areas of the lower face where skin may be sagging.
Step 4
Take a teaspoon of the Clarify Peel Mask and water to easily spread it across the face and neck, using your fingertips and gentle circular motions. Allow it to work for 10 minutes, then carefully remove using damp gauze pads soaked in Clarify Toner ensuring all mask residue is wiped off.
Step 5
Use High Frequency or LED Therapy:
- Apply a thin layer of Clarify moisturiser to the entire face, apply a facial gauze and carry out high frequency using the mushroom electrode on around setting 5, using circular motions over the entire face for approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Set the LED probes to the Blue light setting and glide them systematically across the face. Pause at each position for 20 seconds for a total duration of 5-7 minutes.
- Apply the Illumine BB cream to complete the facial.
Aftercare
- For direct sun exposure, use Illumine BB cream as a shield.
- Avoid heat-intensive settings and facial steamers to prevent overstimulating sebum production and enlarging pores.
- Steer clear of products containing mineral oil and lanolin, as they can clog pores.
- Instead of alcohol-based toners that can strip the skin, preserve your skin’s pH balance with the Clarify Toner and Clarify Moisturiser.
FAQ
I’ve always had steaming in my facials over the years, why do you not recommend it?
Steaming is old school, it can pose challenges for those with oily skin, as it stimulates sebum production, aggravating oiliness and leading to enlarged pores—perfect breeding grounds for impurities and congestion. Moreover, once the skin shifts into 'sweat mode' after steaming, its absorption capabilities diminish for at least 20 minutes. This hinders the optimal penetration of serums and skincare actives, depriving the skin of their goodness. We find ultrasonic scrubbers are a better alternative to steam.
For which purposes are some of the probes on your HydraDerm machine designed?
Our HydraDerm machine raises the bar with its array of cutting-edge tools – from the diamond-vortex tip ensuring meticulous exfoliation, to microneedling, no-needle mesotherapy for enhanced product penetration, and the synergy of EMS and microcurrent for facial toning and lifting – it offers a holistic skin rejuvenation experience. This multifaceted approach distinctly sets the HydraClear facial apart, underlining the unparalleled benefits of the HydraDerm machine.
If I'm dealing with a significant amount of acne pustules, would the Clarify HydraClear facial be appropriate for me?
While the Clarify HydraClear Facial offers numerous benefits, for active acne pustules, it might not be the best fit. The vortex tip can potentially rupture pustules, aggravating the condition. Instead, our Clarify peel, combined with high frequency and LED blue light therapy, is a more tailored and safer alternative for addressing your skin concerns.
I have Dermal Fillers on my face, is this facial suitable for me?
Not recommended.
The vacuum suction in the vortex tip can potentially move the filler from their location, take it as a precaution and avoid the areas where there is filler injected.
Can I get a Clarify HydraClear facial if i have sensitive skin?
Certainly. We recommend a preliminary skin analysis to precisely determine your skin's sensitivity. Using this assessment, we'll customize the Clarify HydraDerm Facial to cater to your unique requirements, possibly replacing the vortex phase with LED red light therapy and swapping our Clarify products in favor of Ageless ones to ensure the best possible outcome.
Are there any side effects or downtime associated with the Clarify HydraClear facial?
The Clarify HydraClear Facial is non-invasive and designed to be gentle on the skin. Most clients experience no downtime. If you have reactive skin, you might notice slight redness immediately after ultrasonic scrubber and vortex phase but this typically subsides within a few hours. As always, it's crucial to follow post-treatment care instructions, like avoiding direct sun exposure and using an SPF, to ensure the best results and maintain skin health.
