Consultation and skin preparation
Every Platinum HydroFacial begins with a focused consultation and skin assessment to choose enzyme or CO₂ preparation and the right acids. Technicians prioritize tolerance and visible needs, then plan AHA/BHA hydrodermabrasion followed by hyaluronic acid and collagen infusion. The service is delivered as a customized 90-minute protocol at our Castle Shannon spa.
Choosing enzyme versus CO₂ preparation is a decision based on sensitivity, inflammation, and corrective goals. Enzyme prep is gentler for reactive skin, while brief CO₂ preparation can improve penetration for clients cleared for more intensive resurfacing. Your technician will explain risks, expected sensations, and sequencing so you understand trade-offs before treatment proceeds.
AHA/BHA Hydrodermabrasion and Infusion
AHA/BHA hydrodermabrasion exfoliates surface buildup and helps loosen congestion while the handpiece simultaneously delivers hydrating serums. After exfoliation, hyaluronic acid and collagen are infused using hydro-infusion and ultrasound to improve product delivery. Ultrasonic extractions are performed only as needed, minimizing trauma while addressing clogged pores and uneven texture.
The customized skin-booster infusion selected for your session targets immediate hydration and skin quality; choices are guided by your assessment and desired correction. Ultrasound infusion and radiofrequency are sequenced where appropriate to enhance absorption and tissue tightening. Cryotherapy follows to calm the skin and close pores, with technicians adapting intensity to skin tolerance.
Advanced Technologies and Finish
Radiofrequency skin tightening stimulates a controlled thermal response while ultrasound supports deeper infusion; both are adjusted to suit corrective goals without unnecessary downtime. Cryotherapy and lymphatic drainage reduce post-treatment inflammation and help contour fluid movement. The upper-body massage included supports relaxation and improves circulation during the 90-minute appointment.
Finishing steps use calming Korean skincare formulations and SPF to protect results and simplify aftercare, honoring local clients' need to return to work or errands near Library Road. Because Castle Shannon residents balance commuting and family schedules, technicians discuss timing, immediate expectations, and short-term care so treatments fit real-life routines.
