HydraNeedling
Decongesting
Retexturing
Take your micro-needling session to the next level with this treatment combination. HydraNeedling pairs HydraFacial's medical-grade resurfacing with SkinPen microneedling in a single appointment.

The treatment experience
Your session starts with a through double cleanse, followed with a full HydraFacial — a deep cleanse and exfoliation using salicylic and glycolic acid, followed by gentle extractions to clear the pores and prepare the skin surface.
Then the nurse moves the SkinPen hand-piece around the face, gently stamping the skin to stimulate cell production and skin repair. Unlike other micro-needling treatments, SkinPen does not promote bleeding. Redness is normal and usually settles within 24–48 hours. The procedure takes 90 minutes in total.
It's best for
- Facial rejuvenation with minimal downtime
- Congested, dull or dehydrated skin that needs a reset before collagen stimulation
- Large Pores and uneven skin texture
Pre and post care
You may notice redness, tingling and a sensation of heat similar to mild sunburn from the needling stage — this generally settles within 24–48 hours. Changes to tone and texture typically become noticeable within a week, with further improvement in pigmentation, pores and scarring possible across your course of treatments.
- Avoid the following for at least 24 hours: strenuous exercise, consumption of alcohol.
- Avoid the following for two weeks: extended exposure to sun or UV light, extended exposure to heat or freezing temperatures.
- Exposure to any of the above may cause temporary redness, swelling or itching in the treatment area. An ice pack applied briefly can help with discomfort if swelling occurs.
- Daily SPF 30+ is recommended, reapplied every two hours during prolonged sun exposure.
Common questions
HydraNeedling brings together two established technologies. The HydraFacial stage uses a patented suction handpiece to cleanse, exfoliate and extract congestion, preparing the skin surface.
SkinPen MicroNeeding then creates controlled micro-channels that trigger the body's natural wound-healing response, a process known as collagen induction therapy.
- Combines deep-pore cleansing with collagen induction therapy in one appointment.
- Supports cell turnover and collagen remodelling.
- May help even the appearance of superficial pigmentation and age spots over a course of treatments.
- Can help soften the appearance of acne or surgical scarring.
- Helps to clear congestion, blackheads and whiteheads before needling begins.
- Comparatively minimal downtime.
- Suitable for sensitive skins, darker skin tones and breakout-prone skin, as the needling stage uses no active acids, laser or light therapy.
On rare occasions, infection or bruising can occur from the needling stage. As with a standalone HydraFacial, this treatment is not suitable for anyone with a known shellfish allergy.
For the collagen-induction component, a course of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is generally recommended, with the exact plan depending on your skin type and concern. Because each session includes a full HydraFacial, you'll also benefit from ongoing pore-clearing and hydration throughout your course. A custom treatment plan will be discussed at your consultation.
The HydraFacial stages are generally comfortable, with clients reporting a mild tingling or suction sensation.
You will notice a slightly scratchy feeling on your skin with the SkinPen treatment. We would rate the pain of SkinPen at around 3/10, depending on individual sensitivity.
Results vary from person to person and cannot be guaranteed. We recommend an in-depth consultation with one of our registered nurses, who will explain how the treatment works, whether it suits your skin type, and realistic expected outcomes in line with your goals.
