What makes the Aqua3 facial unique in comparison to other facial treatments?
Unique Combination Technology
Similar to the HydraFacial, the Aqua3 is a facial treatment that combines cleansing, moisturising and rejuvenation into one technology, to provide the ultimate facial, for all skin types. Whilst the HydraFacial uses vortex technology, the Aqua3 is a mesoporation-based treatment that combines the extraordinary cleansing power of water peeling with sequential acids with microdermabrasion and transdermal delivery, to completely rejuvenate the skin from deep within.
Diamond Granules For Treating Thick Skin and Stretch Marks
As we age, the outer layer of the skin (the stratum corneum) gets thicker over the years. This makes the skin less bright and soft and creates a barrier that prevents active substances from penetrating. Normal topical or water peeling treatments are not sufficient to treat excessively thick skin, but the Aqua3 can!
Thanks to its special hand-piece with diamond granules, the Aqua3 enables mechanical peeling on the most difficult skin, including thickened skin, deep-wrinkled skin, and even stretch marks. It performs controlled, non-invasive microdermabrasion that frees the skin from the superficial stratum corneum (the affected outer layer), improving the appearance and texture of the skin and restoring its elasticity.
Oxygenating Mask for Promoting Cell Turnover and Circulation
Another unique feature of the Aqua3 is the active oxygen mask. The mask is applied to your face, neck and décolletage. It turns into a soft mousse with thousands of active oxygen bubbles that burst and delicately massage and oxygenate your skin from within. The extra oxygen in your skin helps to increase cell turnover and circulation, which then also increases the absorption of other skin-care ingredients.
Aqua3 Facial FAQs
What happens during an Aqua3 Facial treatment?
An Aqua3 treatment is a simple process that follows six steps.
Step 1) The suction handpiece is combined with a pleasant water jet containing mandelic acid which begins removing superficial impurities in a delicate but firm manner.
Once done, we can move on to step two of your Aqua3 Facial treatment.
Step 2) A water-based peel containing salicylic acid is applied to perform a deeper peel on thickened skin.
Step 3) We leave the peel on for 5 minutes. The suction tool is then re-applied to remove all the dead skin cells.
Step 4) The infuser handpiece is then applied. This contains Hyaluronic acid and deeply moisturises the skin.
Step 5) We then apply a thin serum using the mesoporation tool. This is where active products gently penetrate the skin by applying micro-currents to it.
Step 6) An active oxygen mask is then applied to your face, neck and decolletage. This turns into a soft and creamy mousse which is then rubbed in, oxygenating your skin before being removed.
What is a water-based peel used for on an Aqua3 facial treatment?
A water-based peel is a cleansing pore treatment. Unlike pore treatments like oil, scrubs or face masks, it uses water and ultrasonic waves to remove any dirt that’s hidden underneath your skin. With painless physiological skin regeneration, it stimulates the skin tissue leaving it much more toned and incredibly radiant.
The suction handpiece we use for Aqua3 treatments combines with a jet of water that contains mandelic acid and salicylic acid. This removes surface impurities from the skin no matter how thick it is. It’s gentle, but firm removing dead cells, blackheads and whiteheads.
What is microdermabrasion and how is it used in an Aqua3 facial treatment?
Microdermabrasion is a procedure used in our Aqua3 treatment that uses fine crystals and a gentle vacuum to remove dead skin cells. This will help to reduce fine lines, scars, wrinkles and age spots making the skin appear smoother, healthier and younger looking.
What is transdermal delivery?
Transdermal delivery is a route of administration wherein active ingredients are delivered across the skin for systemic distribution within the body. For the Aqua3, this is done using the mesoporatic hand-piece. Mesoporation (needle-free mesotherapy) uses electrical impulses to open “micro channels” in the skin by creating a positive/negative field that allows you to transfer active ingredients (in this case, hyaluronic acid and serums) deeply into the tissue, targeting the problem areas. By making the most out of the transdermal delivery of the mesoporatic hand-piece, your oxygenating tissues within the skin are restructured.
What areas of my body can an Aqua3 treatment be used on?
The Aqua3 is a facial treatment, but the diamond-grain handpiece can be used on all areas of the body to treat thickened skin, stretch marks, deep wrinkles and acne scars.
How many Aqua3 sessions will I need?
For optimal results from your Aqua3 facial treatment, it is recommended that initial treatments should be repeated once a week for four weeks. After that, a maintenance treatment should be completed once a month.
How soon after an Aqua3 facial will I see the results?
After your first treatment, you will notice your skin feeling much smoother, cleaner and hydrated. Depending on your skin type, this can last for approximately a week. Should there be specific skin concerns that need addressing, the Aqua3 treatment should be carried out once a week for four weeks to see the full benefits. You should then look to visit us once a month after that for maintenance of the treated area.
How long does an Aqua3 treatment take?
A session for an Aqua3 facial treatment will take an hour.
How much does an Aqua3 treatment cost?
Costs for our Aqua3 treatments start at £150, we offer interest-free credit should it be required.
