What is it
Professional facial treatments go beyond what you can achieve at home. Clinics offer HydraFacial (deep cleansing + hydration), chemical peels (exfoliation for texture and tone), LED light therapy (reducing inflammation and stimulating collagen), and microdermabrasion (gentle resurfacing). These are the foundation of a good skincare routine and a great entry point into professional aesthetics.
Who is it for
Everyone. Seriously — regular facials benefit all skin types and ages. They're especially good for people new to aesthetics who want to start with something gentle and low-risk. Also ideal for maintaining results between more intensive treatments like lasers or injectables.
Recovery time
Most facials have zero downtime — your skin looks better immediately. Chemical peels may cause mild flaking or dryness for 2–3 days depending on peel strength. LED therapy and HydraFacial have no recovery period at all.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a HydraFacial cost in Melbourne?
A standard HydraFacial in Melbourne costs $150–$350 per session. Prices vary based on add-on treatments like LED therapy, lymphatic drainage, or targeted serums. Many clinics offer package deals for multiple sessions.
How often should I get a professional facial?
Every 4–6 weeks is the sweet spot for most people — this aligns with your skin's natural renewal cycle. Consistent treatments deliver better long-term results than occasional intensive sessions.
What's the best first aesthetics treatment?
HydraFacial or LED therapy are the most popular starting points. They're gentle, non-invasive, and deliver visible results in a single session. They also give you a chance to experience a professional clinic environment before committing to more intensive treatments.
