HYDRO FACIAL | BIRKENHEAD, AUCKLAND
Deep cleansing technology for clearer, healthier skin.
A HydroFacial is one of the more practical skin treatments available.

There is no recovery period, it suits most skin types, and the approach is consistent and nurse-controlled at every session. At Jay’s Medispa in Birkenhead, your nurse tailors the facial to your skin on the day, not to a fixed formula.

HOW HYDROFACIAL WORKS
Four steps. One session. No recovery.
HydroFacial uses a handheld device that moves through the skin in a consistent, controlled sequence. The vortex action simultaneously loosens and removes congestion while delivering active serums into the cleansed pores. Because the treatment device controls the process, each session is consistent regardless of skin variation.
The serum selection changes based on what your skin needs. Your nurse will assess your skin at the start of each session and adjust accordingly. This is what separates a clinical HydroFacial from a spa version of the same treatment.
Dead skin cells and surface debris are removed using the vortex tip. Skin is prepared for the steps that follow.
A gentle vacuum suction dislodges congestion from the pores. Blackheads, excess oil, and impurities are drawn to the surface and removed without squeezing or manual extraction.
Active serums are delivered into the cleansed pores through the same device. Hydrating, brightening, or corrective serums are selected based on your skin at the session.
A finishing serum and SPF protection are applied to support skin hydration and UV protection following treatment.
Skin concerns this treatment may help with
Congested or clogged pores
The extraction step is designed to clear pore congestion more effectively and consistently than manual methods, without the irritation that can follow manual extractions.
Dull or uneven skin tone
Exfoliation combined with serum infusion may help improve the appearance of skin tone and radiance over a regular course of sessions.
Fine lines and early signs of skin ageing
Hydrating serums and corrective actives delivered under the skin’s surface may contribute to improvements in fine line appearance over time. Results vary.
Oily or acne-prone skin
The treatment helps manage oil production and congestion at the pore level without the inflammation or dryness associated with many acne-focused treatments.
Dehydrated or dry skin
The serum infusion step is designed to deliver hydration directly into the skin rather than sitting on the surface, supporting longer-lasting moisture balance.
Pre-event skin preparation
With no downtime and immediate improvements in skin feel and clarity, a HydroFacial is a practical option for skin preparation before a significant event.

Single session. Better tier. Noticeable improvement in skin clarity and pore appearance following treatment. Individual results vary.
DULL, DEHYDRATED SKIN
Single session. Best tier with brightening serum. Improved skin radiance and hydration noted immediately following treatment. Results differ between individuals.
OILY AND ACNE-PROMO SKIN
Course of four monthly sessions. Better tier with blue LED. Gradual improvement in congestion and oil balance noted across the treatment course.
Individual results may vary. Outcomes depend on skin type and condition, the tier selected, and regularity of treatment. These are real client results and are not a guarantee of outcome.
POST-TREATMENT CARE
Looking after your skin after HydroFacial
HydroFacial has no downtime. The steps below help maintain the condition of your skin between sessions.
Stay well hydrated
Drink plenty of water in the days following treatment to support your skin’s hydration from within.
SPF every day
Apply a broad-spectrum SPF to protect your freshly treated skin. UV protection also helps maintain any improvement in skin tone over time.
Avoid exfoliants for 48 hours
Hold off on retinol, AHAs, BHAs, and physical exfoliants for 48 hours post-treatment. Your skin has just been through a thorough exfoliation session.
Gentle cleanser and moisturiser
Use mild, fragrance-free products in the day or two following treatment. Your skin barrier has been optimised. Keep your routine simple.
Wait 24 hours before makeup
Allow your skin at least 24 hours before applying makeup, particularly heavy foundation or products with active ingredients.
Contact us with any concerns
If anything feels unexpected after your appointment, call us on 09 418 0743. We are happy to advise.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT
HydroFacial is designed to have no recovery period. Most clients leave the clinic with skin that feels cleaner and more hydrated than when they arrived. Some mild redness or warmth may occur and typically settles within a few hours.
The improvement in skin feel and clarity from a HydroFacial is often noticeable on the day. With regular monthly sessions, many clients notice cumulative improvements in skin tone, pore appearance, and hydration over time. Individual response varies and results are not guaranteed.
If you are booking a HydroFacial before an event, we recommend scheduling it at least three to five days beforehand rather than the day before, to allow any mild initial redness to fully settle and to ensure you are seeing the full effect on the day.
RESULTS DSICLAMER
Results from HydroFacial treatments vary depending on individual factors including skin type and condition, the concern being addressed, the tier and serums selected, and the regularity of sessions. Outcomes are not guaranteed and individual results will differ. All treatment decisions are made by a Registered Nurse based on your skin at each appointment.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Anything not answered here, come in and ask us directly.
A HydroFacial is a multi-step treatment that combines deep cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and serum infusion in a single session using vortex-based technology. It is designed to remove impurities, support skin hydration, and help address concerns like dullness, congestion, and fine lines. It is suitable for most skin types and has no downtime. The serum selection is adjusted by your nurse based on your skin at each session.
No. HydroFacial is designed to have no recovery period and most clients return to normal activities immediately. Some mild redness or warmth may occur and typically settles within a few hours. If you are booking before an event, we recommend booking three to five days before rather than on the day.
Monthly sessions are a practical starting point for most clients. The right frequency depends on your skin goals, skin condition, and how your skin responds between sessions. Your nurse will discuss what makes sense for you based on what they see at your appointment.
HydroFacial is generally well tolerated by most skin types including sensitive skin, because the device action is controlled and the serum choice is adjusted to your skin. If you have a specific skin condition or sensitivity, discuss this at your consultation before booking so we can assess what adjustments may be appropriate.
A HydroFacial uses a specialised device that combines exfoliation, extraction, and serum infusion in one controlled process rather than relying on manual technique alone. The vortex action is consistent and nurse-controlled at each session. Serums are delivered into the pore rather than sitting on the skin surface. The result is a more controlled, repeatable outcome compared with manual facial techniques. It also has no downtime, which a more intensive clinical facial may not.
Many clients notice that their skin feels cleaner and more hydrated immediately after treatment. For ongoing concerns like congestion, uneven tone, or fine lines, improvement tends to accumulate across regular monthly sessions rather than appearing after a single treatment. Individual response varies and outcomes are not guaranteed.
HydroFacial at Jay’s Medispa in Birkenhead starts from $150 for the Basic tier (45 minutes), $180 for the Better tier with LED light therapy (1 hour), and $240 for the Best tier with LED and a targeted serum (1 hour). All pricing is confirmed before your appointment begins.
