Hydrodermabrasion is a resurfacing facial that combines gentle exfoliation with water-based suction. Where microdermabrasion resurfaces the skin dry, hydrodermabrasion does it with hydrating solution drawn across the skin at the same time — a fine-tipped handpiece lifts away dull surface cells and loosens the debris sitting inside pores.
The main benefits are an immediate difference in texture and clarity, with none of the downtime that comes with stronger resurfacing. Most clients return to work, school run or evening plans straight afterwards.
Every facial at Awlin Beauty is carried out by Clare Alexander, an NMC-registered nurse with over 20 years of medical experience and oral and maxillofacial training at the Eastman Dental Institute. That matters more than it sounds: it means your skin is assessed clinically before anything touches it, and treatment is adjusted to what your skin can actually tolerate.
A facial is a low-risk treatment — but the assessment behind it isn’t cosmetic. Skin conditions, medication, recent injectables and healing history all change what’s appropriate. Every treatment here starts with a medical history review.

You lie back and the steps are worked through in sequence. Most people describe it as a cool, mildly scratchy sensation — comfortable throughout.
You'll leave with clear guidance on what to use, what to avoid, and when to book again if you're building a routine.

FAQ
Between 30 and 60 minutes depending on which treatment you choose. The Mini Facial takes 30 minutes, the Platinum Facial takes 60 minutes.
No. Most clients describe it as a cool, mildly scratchy sensation, and many find it relaxing. Extraction can feel a little more intense in congested areas, but it is not painful.
Some people have mild pinkness or warmth for a few hours afterwards. This settles on its own and most clients return to their normal day straight away.
Your skin will look clearer and feel smoother immediately after treatment. Texture continues to improve over the following days as the skin settles.
Both resurface the skin by removing the dull surface layer. Microdermabrasion does this dry, using fine crystals or a diamond tip. Hydrodermabrasion does it with water and hydrating solution at the same time, which makes it gentler and better suited to sensitive or dehydrated skin. Our facials use a combination of both.
Every four to six weeks suits most people. Clare will recommend a frequency based on your skin at your consultation.
Yes, but not immediately. We ask you to leave at least two weeks after any injectable treatment before booking a facial.
We recommend leaving your skin bare for the rest of the day so it can settle. Make-up can be worn again the following morning.
