What makes the Aqua3 unique in comparison to other facial treatments?
Unique Combination Technology
Similar to the HydraFacial, the Aqua3 is a facial treatment that combines cleansing, moisturising and rejuvenation into one technology, to provide the ultimate facial, for all skin types. Whilst the HydraFacial uses vortex technology, the Aqua3 is a mesoporation-based treatment that combines the extraordinary cleansing power of water peeling with sequential acids with microdermabrasion and transdermal delivery, to completely rejuvenate the skin from deep within.
Diamond Granules For Treating Thick Skin and Stretch Marks
As we age, the outer layer of the skin (the stratum corneum) gets thicker over the years. This makes the skin less bright and soft and creates a barrier that prevents active substances from penetrating. Normal topical or water peeling treatments are not sufficient to treat excessively thick skin, but the Aqua3 can!
Thanks to its special hand-piece with diamond granules, the Aqua3 enables mechanical peeling on the most difficult skin, including thickened skin, deep-wrinkled skin, and even stretch marks. It performs controlled, non-invasive microdermabrasion that frees the skin from the superficial stratum corneum (the affected outer layer), improving the appearance and texture of the skin and restoring its elasticity.
Oxygenating Mask for Promoting Cell Turnover and Circulation
Another unique feature of the Aqua3 is the active oxygen mask. The mask is applied to your face, neck and décolletage. It turns into a soft mousse with thousands of active oxygen bubbles that burst and delicately massage and oxygenate your skin from within. The extra oxygen in your skin helps to increase cell turnover and circulation, which then also increases the absorption of other skin-care ingredients.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during the treatment?
Step 1)
The suction hand-piece is combined with a pleasant water jet containing mandelic acid which begins removing superficial impurities in a delicate but firm manner.
Step 2)
A water-based peel containing salicylic acid is applied to perform a deeper peel on thickened skins.
Step 3)
After 5 minutes, the peel is removed and the suction is then re-applied to remove all the dead skin cells.
Step 4)
The infuser hand-piece is then applied. This contains Hyaluronic acid and deeply moisturises the skin.
Step 5)
A thin serum is then applied using the mesoporation hand-piece. Mesoporation is the technology which enables active products to penetrate the skin by applying micro-currents to the skin.
Step 6)
An active oxygen mask is then applied to your face, neck and décolletage. This turns into soft and creamy mousse which is then rubbed in, oxygenating your skin before being removed.
Please note: Depending on the type of skin and degree of skin ageing, some of the steps may be skipped. You may also have a particular concern that you would like to address i.e. acne scarring/stretch marks, that will require extra steps (using dedicated hand-piece such as the diamond-grain hand-piece).
What is a water based peel/water peeling?
A water-based peel (or water peeling) is a cleansing pore treatment. Unlike other pore treatments (such as oils, scrubs and face masks) water peeling uses water and ultrasonic waves to easily remove dirt and grime that’s hidden deep under your skin. It provides painless physiological skin regeneration by stimulating the skin tissue rendering it more radiant and toned.
The suction hand-piece on the Aqua3, combined with a jet of water containing mandelic acid and salicylic acid, removes surface impurities from even the thickest skin in a delicate but firm manner, sucking out dead cells, blackheads and whiteheads.
What is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a procedure that uses fine crystals and a vacuum to remove dead skin cells. The aim is to reduce fine lines, minor scars, wrinkles and age spots, and make the skin smoother and younger looking.
What is transdermal delivery?
Transdermal delivery is a route of administration wherein active ingredients are delivered across the skin for systemic distribution within the body. For the Aqua3, this is done using the mesoporatic hand-piece. Mesoporation (needle-free mesotherapy) uses electrical impulses to open “micro channels” in the skin by creating a positive/negative field that allows you to transfer active ingredients (in this case, hyaluronic acid and serums) deeply into the tissue, targeting the problem areas. By making the most out of the transdermal delivery of the mesoporatic hand-piece, your oxygenating tissues within the skin are restructured.
What areas can this treatment be used on?
This treatment is a facial treatment. However, the diamond-grain hand-piece addition can be used on all areas of the body, to treat thickened skin, stretch marks, deep wrinkles, and acne scars.
How many sessions will I need?
For best results, the initial treatments should be repeated once a week for 4 weeks. The maintenance treatment is then required once a month.
How long until I see results?
Sessions will last 1 hour. You will notice your skin feels much smoother, cleaner and hydrated immediately after the first treatment. Depending on your skin type, this effect can last for around a week, sometimes longer.
To address specific skin concerns (such as scarring, dry skin, pigmentation, oily or congested skin), the treatment should be done every week for 4 weeks to see the full benefits, and then once a month following for maintenance.
