Hydro facials, also known as as hydrodermabrasion facials, are a professionally administered skincare treatment combining cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection in one. Praised for their unique ability to deeply hydrate the skin, and active serum infusion system designed to target specific skin issues like acne, hyperpigmentation, and the signs of ageing, these facial options have been a popular choice amongst skincare experts for years.

Hair Ministry are proud to announce the launch of Hydro facials at our flagship Foxhall Road salon! Discover unique facial services tailored to the needs of skin types from dehydrated and dry to acne-prone and beyond.

A traditional facial is a lovely way to relax, nourish the skin and maintain overall skin health. A Hydro facial offers those benefits too, but with a more advanced, results-focused approach. The technology allows for deeper cleansing, more effective exfoliation and targeted hydration, making it ideal for clients wanting visible skin improvements as well as a treatment experience.

The Hydro facial machine allows us to treat the skin more effectively than a hands-only facial. It is used to cleanse, exfoliate, help remove impurities, deliver hydration and support a healthier-looking complexion. Depending on the treatment selected, it can also help target concerns such as dullness, dehydration, congestion and loss of firmness.

In many cases, yes. Hydro facials can be tailored to suit different skin types and concerns, which is why they are such a popular treatment. Your therapist will always assess your skin first and recommend the most suitable option for you.

Oily skin can often be sensitive and breakout prone, meaning that choosing your facial treatments with care is key to avoiding irritation. Our skincare experts recommend taking the time to find an option targeting oil production and clogged pores, with ingredients designed to prevent breakouts. Common go-tos include BHA and clay, which clear out excess oil and pull impurities from the skin.

At Hair Ministry, we offer the Clear Hydro Facial, designed to manage oil production, unclog pores, and reduce scarring. The Clear Facial involves the use of LED Therapy, a non-invasive treatment to promote healthier skin and assists in managing acne and reducing oil production, and uses a blend of effective treatments to specifically target oily skin, enlarged pores, and acne.

Whilst facials have been an excellent way for some of our clients to manage their acne, all skin types and conditions are unique. Before booking in for any kind of facial, we recommend that those with particularly sensitive or breakout-prone skin consult their dermatologist, or attend a full consultation with their aesthetician.

In general, our experts recommend opting for an acne-specific facial with a formulation designed to tackle common issues including inflammation, oiliness, and redness. They may include ingredients like BHA, glycolic acid, or benzoyl peroxide, which are known for their acne-fighting properties.

Our Clear hydro facial is designed with acne-prone skin in mind. Utilising therapies like LED, which can aid in the destruction of acne bacteria, and offer treatments that focus on acne, enlarged pores, oily skin, and scarring.

Many clients notice that their skin looks fresher, smoother and more radiant immediately after treatment. Results can vary depending on your skin and the facial chosen, but Hydro facials are loved for delivering an instant glow as well as supporting longer-term skin health.

One treatment is great but a course is better. A course of six treatments will really help target skin concerns.

Ultimately, everyone’s skin is unique, meaning there’s no one-size-fits-all facial routine out there. Our skincare experts will be able to recommend an ideal facial frequency based on your skin type, condition, and goals during your first appointment with us.

With this said, as a general rule of thumb, a facial every 3-4 weeks or once a month can help you maintain optimal skin health, aligning with the full life cycle of skin cell growth and exfoliation. This also applies to other facial treatment types, such as dermaplaning.

For the best possible results, it’s important to maintain a consistent at-home skincare routine in addition to your regular facials.

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive facial treatment that uses a specialised blade to bring out the very best in the skin. During your dermaplaning treatment, your aesthetician will carefully scrape away dead skin cells on the surface layer of your skin along with fine vellus hair, also known as peach fuzz.

In addition to its immediate visual benefits, dermaplaning leaves skin in the perfect state for product absorption, making moisturisers, serums, and other skincare treatments more effective.

This popular treatment is safe, painless, and a great option for those suffering from dull, lacklustre skin.

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive treatment, and doesn’t hurt – meaning you can get baby smooth facial skin stress and pain free!

During your treatment, your aesthetician will use a sterile surgical-grade blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine hairs – delivering exfoliation alongside hair removal. Some clients report feeling a light scratching or stinging feeling as dead skin is removed – but no pain.

At Hair Ministry, our experienced aestheticians are skilled in performing dermaplaning safely and effectively, ensuring a comfortable experience from beginning to end.

Dry skin on the face can be caused by a wide variety of factors, including your environment (cold air in the winter months is a particularly common culprit), overwashing/use of harsh chemicals on the skin, ageing, specific skin conditions including eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea, and, of course, dehydration.

If you’re struggling with dry skin, a hydrating facial treatment such as the Lumi Oxypure Infused Facial or the Lumi Hydrate Facial could provide the much-needed moisture and rejuvenation you’ve been seeking. Be sure to consult a skincare specialist in order to develop the best possible routine for your dry skin.

Facial redness can be a result of a number of causes. For this reason, we recommend consulting a skincare specialist before creating a treatment plan. With this being said, some of our top general tips include:

Minimise Triggers: if you’re able to determine personal triggers for redness like spicy foods, alcohol, or temperature changes, be sure to avoid them where possible.

Stay Hydrated: Dehydration can be a root cause of redness and irritation. Try to keep your skin fresh by drinking plenty of water, and applying moisturiser where needed.

Choose The Right Skincare Products and Routine: Opting for irritant-free skincare products and booking in for targeted treatments such as the Lumi Illuminate or Lumi Hydrate facial can help reduce signs of pigmentation and irritation.

The exact cost of your facial treatment will vary in line with everything from your chosen provider’s experience level to the type of facial, salon location, and more.

Here at Hair Ministry, our treatments start at £35 for an express/teen treatment, whilst our LumiHYDRO specialist treatments range between £50 and £90 per individual treatment, with courses priced between £250 and £450. Our dermaplaning treatments are priced at £50.
