How to Prepare for Your HydraFacial Appointment

Aesthetics, Top Tips
January 29 2025

A HydraFacial is one of the most effective and rejuvenating skincare treatments available. It cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, and hydrates your skin, leaving it glowing and refreshed. To get the most out of your HydraFacial, a little preparation goes a long way. Here are our top tips to help you prepare for your appointment at The Nantwich Clinic.

1. Avoid Exfoliation 48 Hours Before

Your HydraFacial includes gentle exfoliation as part of the treatment, so it’s best to skip any harsh scrubs, chemical peels, or retinoids for at least two days before your appointment. This prevents over-exfoliation, which could irritate your skin.

2. Skip Waxing and Laser Treatments

If you’ve had any facial waxing or laser treatments, wait at least 48 hours before your HydraFacial. These procedures can make your skin more sensitive, and it’s important to allow your skin time to recover fully.

3. Stay Hydrated

Hydration is key to achieving the best results from your HydraFacial. Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment to ensure your skin is well-hydrated and ready to absorb the nourishing serums used during the treatment.

4. Avoid Heavy Makeup on the Day

On the day of your appointment, try to keep your skin bare or stick to minimal makeup. While we’ll cleanse your skin as part of the treatment, starting with a clean canvas helps us maximise your results.

5. Skip Tanning and Sunbeds

Avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning beds for at least a week before your HydraFacial. Sunburned or tanned skin can be more prone to sensitivity, and the treatment may not deliver optimal results if your skin is compromised.

6. Avoid Smoking and Alcohol

Smoking and alcohol can dehydrate your skin, reducing the effectiveness of your HydraFacial. Try to avoid these for 24-48 hours before your appointment to ensure your skin is in its best condition.

7. Discuss Your Skin Concerns

Before your HydraFacial, think about what you want to achieve. Are you looking to improve hydration, reduce fine lines, or address acne? Share your concerns with your practitioner so they can customise your treatment to meet your specific needs.

8. Relax and Enjoy the Process

One of the best things about a HydraFacial is that it’s a non-invasive, relaxing treatment with no downtime. Simply show up to your appointment and let our expert team take care of the rest. You’ll leave feeling refreshed and glowing.

Post-Treatment Care

After your HydraFacial, it’s important to follow any aftercare advice provided by your practitioner. This may include avoiding direct sunlight, using gentle skincare products, and staying hydrated to maintain your results.
