Hydro Facial
What Is a Hydro Facial?
The Most Complete Skin Transformation in a Single Session
The Hydro Facial at Faceit by Ian is the most comprehensive non-invasive skin treatment available in Walton-on-Thames. It is the only hydrodermabrasion procedure that simultaneously combines seven distinct therapeutic phases cleansing, exfoliation, lymphatic drainage, extraction, brightening, hyaluronic acid infusion and antioxidant protection delivering a complete skin makeover in a single, effortlessly relaxing session with absolutely no discomfort or downtime.
Where most facials address one or two skin concerns in sequence, the Hydro Facial targets every major cause of skin dullness, congestion and premature ageing simultaneously. Every step amplifies the step before it: the hydrodermabrasion exfoliation opens the skin for deeper extraction; the extraction allows deeper serum infusion; the ultrasound-delivered hyaluronic acid reaches freshly cleared pores at therapeutic depth.
The treatment is fully tailored by Ian to your specific skin type and concerns whether you’re addressing ageing, dehydration, pigmentation, acne or simply wanting the most thorough and luxurious skin reset available in Surrey.

Hydro Facial : Frequently Asked Questions
No. The Hydro Facial is one of the most comfortable professional skin treatments available. The water-based hydrodermabrasion produces a gentle massaging sensation, and the lymphatic drainage and ultrasound phases are deeply relaxing. Most clients find the full 90-minute session a thoroughly pleasurable experience with no discomfort at any stage.
HydraFacial is a branded device using patented vortex technology. Ian’s Hydro Facial is a professional 7-in-1 hydrodermabrasion treatment that includes additional steps — specifically lymphatic drainage and ultrasound infusion — that many branded HydraFacial protocols do not include. Ian’s treatment is also significantly more affordable: £90 vs £125+ at nearby Cobham Beauty for a comparable branded HydraFacial.
Because the skin regenerates approximately every 30 days, Hydro Facial results are best maintained with sessions every 4–6 weeks. Many clients notice the immediate glow and hydration lasting 2–3 weeks after treatment. For sustained improvement, a course of 4–6 sessions is recommended, after which monthly maintenance keeps the skin consistently at its best.
The hydrodermabrasion, lymphatic drainage and extraction phases are generally considered safe during pregnancy. However, some AHA and BHA solutions may not be recommended. Ian will conduct a thorough health consultation at your first appointment to confirm suitability and tailor the treatment protocol for any relevant medical considerations.
During the hydration phase, a concentrated hyaluronic acid and antioxidant cocktail is applied to the freshly exfoliated skin. Ultrasound technology is then used to drive the hyaluronic acid into the deeper dermal layers — significantly deeper than surface application allows. Hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water, producing an immediate plumping and smoothing effect that clients notice immediately after treatment.
