At OLA Aesthetics, we recognise that every patient’s skin is unique. What works well for one person might not for another, making bespoke treatments a must for effective results. That’s why we love Hydrafacial — a highly customisable procedure that blends science and aesthetic technology to hydrate and nourish your skin, providing a tailored experience for each individual.

A Note From Dr Aleks
As someone deeply committed to the art and science of aesthetics, Hydrafacial is one of my favourite treatments. It’s easy to see why it's become so popular in Australia and beyond — it combines the qualities of a gentle facial with the thoroughness of modern technology to cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate your skin without harsh ingredients. It’s all pamper and no fuss.

What Is Hydrafacial?
Hydrafacial is a hydradermabrasion treatment that uses a patented, multi-step process to combine the benefits of deep cleansing, exfoliation and hydration into one powerful treatment. It is designed to support the health of your skin, contributing to a fresher appearance. Hydrafacial is safe for all skin types and can be used to address a variety of concerns, including fine lines, blemishes, dark spots, congested pores, dullness, and an uneven tone or texture.
How Does Hydrafacial Work?
Hydrafacial’s multi-step process sets it apart from other facials. Each step is tailored to your specific needs, with effects that can be maintained through regular treatments as recommended during your consultation. Here’s a closer look at how it works to pamper your skin:
- Cleansing & Exfoliation: The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any dirt, oil or makeup. A mild peel is used to reveal a brighter complexion.
- Extraction: Impurities are extracted from the pores with powerful vacuum suction.
- Hydration: We infuse the skin with hydrating and nourishing serums to target your unique concerns, from fine lines and dark spots to blemishes and dryness.
Hydrafacial’s uniquely designed spiral tips create a vortex effect that cleanses and exfoliates without abrasive tools or harsh scrubbing, dislodging dirt and debris from the stratum corneum layer. This allows the skin to reflect more light so it appears brighter and healthier.
Vortex technology is also used to pull blackheads and impurities from the pores and deliver antioxidants, peptides and other nourishing ingredients deep into the skin. Patients are able to choose from a variety of serums or boosters for a completely customisable treatment.
The OLA Experience
Consultation
At OLA Aesthetics, your Hydrafacial begins with a private consultation, where we will evaluate your concerns to determine if this procedure is right for you. Our team will explain the Hydrafacial process in detail and craft a personalised treatment schedule that aligns with your needs and expectations, along with recommendations for maintaining your results.

Preparation
We will provide guidelines to help you prepare for treatment. This may include not shaving, waxing or using certain skincare products in the days leading up to your appointment. Please follow these guidelines closely to get the most out of your Hydrafacial.

Treatment
Hydrafacial is performed using a handheld device that is moved quickly and evenly across the skin to cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate and nourish. Each step of the procedure is done with precision and care to maximise the effectiveness of treatment. From start to finish, Hydrafacial takes about 30 minutes to complete, making it perfect for a “lunchtime glow-up.”

What Is the Average Downtime and Recovery?
Hydrafacial involves no downtime. After your treatment, you may apply makeup and resume your daily routine with no activity restrictions. As always, we recommend applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) to keep your skin protected from sun damage.
What Results Can I Expect From My Treatment?
After your Hydrafacial, you can expect to see an immediate improvement in your skin’s overall tone and texture. Your complexion will look noticeably smoother, brighter and more radiant. With subsequent treatments, the appearance of fine lines, dark spots and blemishes may be reduced. Once monthly treatments are recommended to maintain your skin health.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hydrafacial is generally well-tolerated by most patients and associated with few risks or side effects. Some may experience redness immediately following treatment, but this typically subsides within a few hours. More serious side effects are rare but may include:
- Allergic reactions
- Skin irritation
- Increased sensitivity
- Rosacea flare-ups
- Breakouts (purging)
To help you make an informed decision, our team will review the potential risks of Hydrafacial during your consultation. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions you may have before treatment.
The hydrating effects of treatment can be expected to last up to a week. However, your skin could appear brighter and healthier for about four to six weeks. For ongoing improvements in skin texture and clarity, monthly treatments are recommended. Our team may also provide you with a personalised skincare regimen to help you maintain your results.
Hydrafacial is generally considered to be comfortable and relaxing. However, more sensitive patients may experience tingling or pressure during the exfoliation and extraction phases of treatment, which utilise a mild peel and vacuum suction to remove impurities from the skin.
Many products and treatments like Hydrafacial use active ingredients to speed up the exfoliation process and stimulate cellular turnover. However, this may bring excess oil, sebum and other impurities to the surface, leading to acne breakouts. This process is called purging and can last for several weeks. As symptoms subside, skin typically looks smoother, brighter and clearer.
