Ever had a facial which has been rather pampering and lovely but notably dissatisfying with results? Having your skin cleansed and massaged for an hour is wonderfully restorative for your soul - but when it comes to getting real results for your money sometimes you need to take a different approach.

The latest facial to get the A list all excited is the HydraFacial - and it IS a bit special.

The entire HydraFacial is performed using a vacuum based skin abrasion tip which is loaded with various serums prescribed according to your needs and specially formulated to target and combat different skin complaints.

While having a probe massage your face doesn't feel quite as soothing as skilled esthetician’s hands, the results are rather remarkable. The probe removes dead skin cells while bathing the healthy underlying skin with antioxidants deep into the skin - exactly where they can take effect. Your main skincare woes targeted in one quick and easy session.

This really is a facial for on-the-go girls. There are so many pro's to this snazzy treatment, let’s consider the pro's one by one...

1. Celebrity approved

Admit it. We are all a sucker for any Hollywood treatment preferred by the stars. The 50 minute version of the HydraFacial is a must for red carpet regulars.

2. Perfect lunch time pick-me-up

HydraFacial treatments are quick, relaxing and effective. After treatment, the skin is radiantly clean, refined, moist and polished. Sixty minutes after the treatment, there are no traces of redness - making it a perfect lunch time pick-me-up.

3. With a treatment regimen, your skin will just keep on getting better

The best way to get initial results with Hydrafacial is to book a course of six, one treatment every two weeks. This regimen will lift your skin to a standard that is significantly improved. Fine lines diminish, hyper-pigmentation less obvious and conges-tion cleared away.

After original course of 6 treatments, a maintenance treatment once every two months is sufficient.

4. Tailored treatment every time

The HydraFacial is tailored to your individual skincare needs, meaning you will re-ceive a customized treatment suited to your skin's requirements every time. Feel special?

5. Visible results

Want to “turn around” congested pores, dull appearance and lackluster complexion? If you want squeaky-clean pores that are HD ready then it doesn't get much better than the Hydrafacial - your skin will appear visibly more vibrant.

Overall rating:

If you like results and hate fluff then the Hydrafacial is the perfect facial for skin maintenance. The results are pretty addictive, even if you only manage this treatment once every couple of months your skin will thank you for it.
