HydraFacial in Sydney

HydraFacial is a professional skin treatment performed with a specialised medical-grade device. It works through a three-step process: gentle cleansing and exfoliation, painless vortex suction to remove impurities, and deep hydration with antioxidant-rich serums. At Cosmedica Australia, our registered nurses tailor each HydraFacial to your skin’s needs whether that’s dullness, congestion, or dehydration. The result is refreshed, healthier-looking skin in about 30–45 minutes, without the downtime of more invasive treatments.

The Signature HydraFacial (30 mins) includes the essentials — cleansing, gentle exfoliation, painless vortex extraction and hydration using patented Vortex-Fusion technology. It’s ideal for overall skin maintenance and clarity.

The Deluxe HydraFacial (45 mins) adds a personalised booster serum selected by your registered nurse to support concerns such as fine lines, uneven tone or dehydration. When clinically appropriate, LED light therapy may also be included. Both options are tailored at your consultation here in Bellevue Hill to suit your skin on the day.

The Lip and Eye Perk are optional HydraFacial add-ons that focus on areas often needing extra care.

The Lip Perk uses a specialised tip and peptide-rich serum to gently cleanse and hydrate the lips, while the Eye Perk is designed to refresh the delicate skin around the eyes using targeted antioxidants. Each treatment takes about 15 minutes and can be added to either a Signature or Deluxe HydraFacial at Cosmedica Australia. Your nurse will assess suitability and tailor the approach to your skin during consultation.

A HydraFacial usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the option you choose. Our Signature treatmentis around 30 minutes, while the Deluxe HydraFacial is closer to 45 minutes. Add-ons such as the Eye or Lip Perk take an extra 15 minutes each. Most people return to normal activities immediately, with only mild pinkness that usually settles within hours. At Cosmedica Australia in Bellevue Hill, your nurse will also provide simple aftercare and help plan the timing if you have a special event.

Many clients choose to book HydraFacial every 4 to 6 weeks to support skin clarity, hydration and overall health. The right frequency can vary depending on your skin goals, season, and at-home routine. At Cosmedica Australia in Bellevue Hill, your registered nurse will assess your skin at each visit and recommend a schedule that suits you. HydraFacial can also be planned alongside other treatments as part of your personalised care plan.

Most people find HydraFacial comfortable - you’ll feel a gentle suction glide as the device cleanses and infuses the skin. There’s generally no downtime, and any temporary pinkness usually settles within a few hours. If your skin is reactive or sensitive, your registered nurse will adjust settings and serums to keep things calm. Your comfort guides the treatment from start to finish.

Yes — HydraFacial is often paired with LED therapy, microneedling, peels or IPL, depending on your skin plan. Some combinations can be done on the same day, while others are staged over a series for comfort and skin tolerance. At Cosmedica Australia in Bellevue Hill, your registered nurse will advise on the best sequencing and spacing for you at consultation. The goal is a balanced, safety-led plan that supports your skin without overloading it.

For the first 24 hours, avoid heat (such as saunas, hot yoga or hot showers), swimming, and active skincare like strong exfoliants, retinoids or acids. Skip heavy makeup during this period so your skin can settle. Keep your skin hydrated and apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily. If your skin feels unusually sensitive, simplify your routine and follow your nurse’s advice. Contact the clinic if redness or irritation persists.

HydraFacial is generally well-tolerated, though some people may experience temporary redness, tightness or sensitivitythat usually settles within a few hours. It may not be suitable if you have certain skin conditions, active infections, or allergies to specific ingredients used in some serums. At Cosmedica Australia in Bellevue Hill, your registered nursewill review your medical history, current skincare, and treatment timing to minimise risks and tailor the approach. Individual responses vary, and suitability is always confirmed during your consultation.
