Body Skin Health & Radiance (Hydrafacial)
Extending Skin Health Benefits to the Body While facial skincare often takes priority, the skin on our body deserves attention too! Common concerns like back acne ('bacne'), rough and bumpy skin (Keratosis Pilaris or 'chicken skin'), dryness, dullness, and uneven texture can affect areas like the back, arms, legs, chest, and buttocks. These issues can cause discomfort, self-consciousness, and prevent skin from looking and feeling its best. Hydrafacial Technology for Body Rejuvenation PRP London Clinic is pleased to offer Hydrafacial Body Treatments, adapting the same advanced vortex technology renowned for facial rejuvenation to address skin concerns on the body.

Treatment Process
Hydrafacial Body Treatments adapt the core 3-step facial process for larger areas:
1. Cleanse + Peel: Deep cleansing and gentle exfoliation using hydro-dermabrasion uncovers a new layer of skin. A light peel solution (glycolic/salicylic acid) helps loosen pore debris.
2. Extract + Hydrate: Painless vortex suction removes impurities and debris from pores.
3. Fuse + Protect: The skin is saturated with antioxidants and peptides for hydration and protection. Specific boosters can sometimes be incorporated depending on the area and concern.
Larger handpiece tips and specific protocols are used for efficient treatment of body areas like the back, arms, legs, or buttocks.
Diagnosis & Assessment
Diagnosis is typically based on visual assessment of the skin on the body area of concern during a consultation. The practitioner will identify the specific condition (e.g., acne, KP, dryness) and assess its severity. Your skincare routine and relevant medical history will be discussed to ensure Hydrafacial is appropriate and to tailor the treatment.

Treatment time depends on the size of the area being treated. For example, a back treatment might take around 45-60 minutes, while arms or legs could vary.
While a single session provides immediate improvement in hydration and brightness, a series of sessions (e.g., 3-6, spaced monthly) is often recommended for tackling persistent issues like body acne or significant texture concerns like KP. Maintenance sessions can help sustain results.
No, Hydrafacial is designed to be a comfortable and relaxing procedure. Patients typically feel gentle suction and a cooling sensation from the serums. There is no pain involved.
There is generally no downtime. You might experience slight pinkness immediately after, but this usually subsides quickly. You can return to normal activities right away.
Hydrafacial cannot 'cure' KP, which is a genetic condition. However, the exfoliation and hydration provided by the treatment can significantly improve the appearance and texture of KP, making the skin much smoother and reducing redness. Regular treatments are needed to maintain the improvement.
Hydrafacial is excellent for mild to moderate body acne and congestion. For severe or cystic body acne, it can be a beneficial adjunctive treatment, but assessment by a practitioner or dermatologist is recommended first, as medical treatments might be necessary.
