Hydrafacial – what's that?
Comprehensive skin care with a single device, performed by beauty professionals
HydraFacialis one of the most modern technologies in skin care, combining cleansing, exfoliation, deep cleansing of skin pores, and absorption of active ingredients into one treatment package.
At Ekauneu, we use the HydraFacial especially for gentle exfoliation, deep cleansing of pores and absorption of powerful treatment serums. We use other more effective methods to treat the signs of ageing.
HydraFacial is suitable for many skin problems and all skin types, including sensitive or dry skin. The treatment is safe and requires no recovery time. However, it is recommended to book your first HydraFacial treatment about a month before important celebrations or events, as the amount of impurities in the skin may increase after the treatment. This is completely normal, as the skin continues to renew and cleanse itself after the treatment. After acid peels, the skin may also feel dry or flaky, which is a normal reaction and will pass quickly.
Hydrafacial – Why has it become one of the most popular facial treatments?
Everyone wants glowing, healthy-looking skin, but traditional facials do not always meet today's needs or suit all skin types. This is why Hydrafacial has become one of the most popular facial treatments. It combines effectiveness, gentleness, and immediate results in a single treatment package.
What is Hydrafacial in a nutshell?
Hydrafacial is a machine-based facial treatment that combines skin cleansing, light exfoliation, deep pore cleansing, and the absorption of active ingredients into the skin. The treatment is performed using a device that cleanses the skin using suction technology without traditional mechanical squeezing. The result is skin that feels clean, moisturized, and looks brighter immediately after the treatment.
Comparison with other facial treatments
There are many different types of facial treatments available, and each type of treatment has its own purpose. Below is a comparison between Hydrafacial and other common facial treatments.
Traditional classic facial treatment
A traditional facial treatment usually includes cleansing, exfoliation, manual removal of impurities, massage, and a mask.
Good points:
- A relaxing and pleasant treatment experience
- Suitable for sensitive or dry skin
- Often a more affordable option
Restrictions:
- The results often remain superficial.
- Deep cleaning of pores is limited
- Active ingredients are not absorbed as effectively
Comparison with Hydrafacial:
Hydrafacial offers deeper cleansing and more effective moisturizing, while traditional facials focus more on relaxation and general skin care.
Chemical peels
Chemical peels use acids to renew the surface layers of the skin. The intensity of the treatment varies depending on the acid used.
Good points:
- Brightens skin and evens out skin tone
- Helps with wrinkles and pigment changes
Restrictions:
- May cause redness, stinging, or flaking
- May require recovery time
- Does not clean pores mechanically
Comparison with Hydrafacial:
Hydrafacial is generally gentler and also suitable for more sensitive skin. Chemical peels may be more effective for deeper skin problems, but they do not offer the same immediate cleanliness and hydration.
Microdermabrasion
In microdermabrasion, the skin is mechanically exfoliated using a diamond blade or crystals.
Good points:
- Smoother and softer skin surface
- Suitable for dull and rough skin
Restrictions:
- Does not clean pores from the inside
- May feel abrasive on sensitive skin
Comparison with Hydrafacial:
Hydrafacial combines exfoliation, cleansing, and moisturizing in one treatment, while microdermabrasion focuses primarily on renewing the skin's surface.
Laser and LED treatments
Laser and LED treatments are based on light technology that can affect skin structure, pigment changes, acne, and wrinkles.
Good points:
- Affects the deeper layers of the skin
- Suitable for treating more demanding skin problems
Restrictions:
- Often more expensive treatments
- May require recovery time
- The best results are achieved with serial treatments.
Comparison with Hydrafacial:
Hydrafacial is a quick and easy treatment with no recovery time, while laser and LED treatments offer longer-term solutions for specific skin problems.
Who is Hydrafacial best suited for?
Hydrafacial is a good choice when the goal is to brighten the skin, cleanse pores, and improve the skin's moisture balance without causing severe irritation.

Finally
Every facial treatment has its place in skin care. Hydrafacial stands out by combining the best aspects of several treatment methods in a single procedure. It offers visible results quickly and without recovery time, making it an easy and effective choice for modern skin care for many people.
FAQ - frequently asked questions
What is Hydrafacial?
Hydrafacial is a multi-step facial that combines cleansing, exfoliation, impurity removal and absorption of active treatment serums in one effective treatment. Suitable for almost all skin types, it provides visibly brighter, cleaner and well hydrated skin with no recovery time.
How is Hydrafacial treatment done?
The treatment is a step-by-step process:
- Cleansing and exfoliation: the skin is cleansed and dead skin cells are gently removed.
- Acid scrub: A light acid scrub opens pores and softens impurities.
-
Pore draining: vacuum suction and vortex cleaning painlessly remove blackheads and tallow deposits.
- Absorption of active ingredients: nourishing and moisturising serums are applied to the skin, selected according to the skin's needs.
- (also available with Platinum treatment): lymphatic massage and LED light therapy complete the holistic treatment experience.
How long does the effect last?
The treatment typically lasts 5-7 days, sometimes longer depending on the skin type and home care. For the best and longest lasting results, it is recommended that the treatment be done regularly, for example every 4-6 weeks.
When will you see the result?
The results of a Hydrafacial treatment are visible immediately after the treatment: the skin is brighter, more hydrated and more luminous. The skin surface feels clean and soft after just one treatment. The best and longest lasting results are achieved with a series of treatments or regular maintenance.
