There is a quiet luxury in having a facial or skin treatment, so when Laser Clinics Australia offered us the opportunity to experience one of their services, we jumped at the chance.

Heading to the Belconnen branch, I was greeted by my skin therapist for the day, Crystal. After a quick Q&A, we were ready to start. In the treatment room, we began with a chat about skin history and what I was hoping to achieve before Crystal delved into my skin type and what could be done to help reach my goals.

Identifying my needs as somewhere between blemish control and anti-ageing, we opted for the Aquafacial which is offered as a four and six-step treatment. Available for all skin types and concerns, the multifunctional treatment has a strong focus on hydration and signs of ageing.

Settling in for the treatment, Crystal explained the process and what each of the four handpieces was used for, as well as which products were being used and what issues they addressed.

Step one, the Aquacleanse, a deep cleanse that removes impurities, buildup and dead skin cells that cause congestion. The water cleanse felt fresh and cool, just a taste of what was to come.

Step two: the AquaRenew is a second cleanse using an acid peel designed to address skin texture and tone issues while decongesting pores.

Step three, the AquaGlow, a lavish-smelling solution feeds the skin nutrients to aid in hydration.

Step four, offered only with the six-step treatment, utilises a specially designed handpiece to infuse the solution into the skin, allowing for optimal absorption.

Step five, Tighten & Lift uses a microcurrent handpiece to lift, tighten and promote elastin and collagen regeneration. You can feel the currents working as your skin slightly twitches with a comfortable zing.

Step six, finishing the process is Cool & Repair. A soothing icy instrument glides across the skin, this step boosts skin repair and reduces any chance of redness.

Non-invasive and without angering the skin, the Aquafacial is a great option when you have a busy schedule or need a bit of lunch break pampering.

The results: Immediately after the facial, my skin felt fuller, glowing, and firm. So far, these effects have lasted well into the following week. If you’re looking for a lunchtime pick-me-up, a skin refresh, and a confidence boost, the Aquafacial is hard to beat.
