Debunking the Myths around Hydrafacial
As experts in the skincare field in Driffield, Yorkshire, we often encounter myths both within and outside of our salon based at Dacre Lakeside Park. While we love to share our knowledge with our clients, we hate to imagine individuals are deterred from such a highly effective treatment due to misinformation!
Join us as we debunk myths and delve into who can benefit from a Hydrafacial, how it works and the duration of results.
Discover myths we frequently hear, and why they simple have no truth.
Who makes a good Hydrafacial candidate?
Somewhat a myth, but also a question you may be curious to know the answer to: who should get a Hydrafacial?
The answer is simple. Do you have skin that you’d like to revive? You’re the perfect candidate! Hydrafacials are incredibly versatile, and with thanks to the boosters available with our Hydrafacial Platinum treatments, they are personalised to your individual skincare needs.
Do you have dry skin that you’d like to hydrate? Do you want to infuse a whole new glow? Or are you concerned about fine lines and wrinkles? There’s something for all of you, ladies (and gents!) – take a look at our recent blog post Hydrafacial: Your Best Skin for more information on how a Hydrafacial can be personalised to your needs.
How does a Hydrafacial work?
The Hydrafacial works through a ground-breaking six-step process aimed at achieving optimal skin health.
Beginning with detoxification, it enhances lymphatic circulation while removing toxins and boosting blood flow for revitalised, hydrated skin. Following this, cleansing and exfoliation reveal a brighter complexion by kicking dead skin cells to the kerb and unclogging pores with the help of a vacuum-based revolutionary Hydrafacial tip.
The brightening stage then involves applying a solution infused with glycolic and salicylic components to further decongest those pores, as a result, fully preparing the skin for the next step, for maximum benefits. Impurities and blackheads are gently extracted from pores using salicylic acid and honey, ensuring thorough cleansing for tightened, youthful skin.
A dose of hydration follows with a blend of hyaluronic acid, peptides and antioxidants, supporting collagen production and combating wrinkles (music to your ears?)
Finally, red and infrared LED light reduce redness and inflammation, further stimulate collagen production and address specific skin concerns through the application of specialised serums (the notorious boosters), offering a customisable and comprehensive skincare solution to your individual skincare needs.
We know what you’re thinking – it all sounds great, but how long do the results last?
How does long does a Hydrafacial last?
Contrary to belief, the Hydrafacial doesn’t just provide you with immediate results of instant radiance, a refreshed complexion and skin that feels tighter. The patented 6-step treatment provides incredible results that serve you much longer than the week after your treatment.
From reduced signs of ageing with fine lines receiving a youthful plump and your skin elasticity boosted, to pigmentation and acne scar visibility being reduced for a smooth complexion, you can reap the benefits of a Hydrafacial treatment up to 6 weeks and beyond. Although, of course, we highly recommend a course for maximum results.

Top 5 Hydrafacial Myths
“Hydrafacials make acne worse”
We hate this myth! The Hydrafacial provides the skin with thorough cleansing, exfoliation and extraction, meaning any dirt, grime and bacteria is removed from the skin – great for acne prone skin to minimise any future breakouts.
Of course, if you opt for a Platinum Hydrafacial with us here at Beauty Within Salon, we choose the most beneficial booster for your skincare type during our comprehensive consultation, meaning acne-prone skin is catered for with a personally-selected serum. So no, Hydrafacial does not make acne worse!
“Hydrafacials cause bruising”
While uncommon, bruising can occur for a variety of reasons, but bruising shouldn’t occur. For example, your skin can bruise if pre and post-treatment guidance is not strictly followed, so we encourage you to adhere to these guidelines as closely as possible.
On the other hand, if Hydrafacials are not delivered correctly, this can also increase the risk of bruising, but this is due to incorrect usage of the device. As highly trained professionals here at Beauty Within Salon, we pride ourselves on delivering premium treatments with maximum results.
Our professional beauty therapists have received extensive training to ensure your risk of bruising with a Hydrafacial treatment is extremely unlikely. The Hydrafacial is a treatment which benefits from zero downtime, which we like to stay true to.
“Hydrafacials damage your skin”
Another one we’ve heard on the rumour mill; from causing rashes to sensitivities. However, Hydrafacials are specifically designed to be gentle, yet effective on all skin types. The patented vortex suction technology deeply cleanses and exfoliates delicate skin, without causing damage.
Although, if you already have compromised skin health, whether you’re unlucky enough to suffer from recent sunburn, an active rash or you have an open wound, you must explain this upon enquiring so our skilled beauty therapists can offer their expert advice to ensure optimal skin health, both before, during and after your treatment.
“Hydrafacials are a painful treatment”
This myth is simply untrue. Hydrafacials are renowned for their gentle and comfortable natures. In contrast to other facial treatments which often cause discomfort or irritation, Hydrafacials utilise their revolutionary vortex suction technology, combined with nourishing serums.
Clients typically describe the sensation as soothing and relaxing, often similar to a light massage on the face – making it an enjoyable treatment, and absolutely nothing you need to gear yourself up for!
Further, Hydrafacials are entirely customisable when it comes to intensity, ensuring all individuals experience a pain-free and enjoyable treatment with radiant results.
“Hydrafacials are invasive and require downtime”
You may have guessed it by this point, but this is entirely false. Similar to the ‘pain’ myth, alternative procedures such as chemical peels or laser treatments require downtime, however, Hydrafacials do not.
With the highly effective 6-step Hydrafacial process and equipment, clients can immediately resume their normal activities after the treatment, with the absence of any restrictions or recovery period that individuals can come to expect with alternative procedures.
No damage, no trauma, no drama; just beautifully hydrated and radiant skin, making Hydrafacials the ultimate choice for those seeking effective skincare solutions with minimal fuss.
