With lunchtime and pre-work facials becoming more and more popular, there’s a growing need for increased results with a lack of ‘downtime’.

The new Hyrdrafacial at Premier Laser and Skin Clinic, which can tackle a range of skin conditions, promises all the benefits of hydradermabrasion and a chemical peel using a non-invasive technique – leaving you ready to head back to work or out to dinner.

Taking just 60 minutes, but incorporating a total of six different stages, it certainly feels like you’re getting your money’s worth.

Done entirely using a machine, the first stage is Lymphatic drainage, which reduces toxins using a suction tip, leaving you feeling immediately lighter.

After cleansing and exfoliations – dead skin cells be gone – it’s the Glycolic acid peel , which sounds like it could lead to irritation but simply creates a numb and tingly sensation.

The fourth step requires the suction to clean out the pores, which is followed by hydrations, filling your toxin-free skin with antioxidants and hyaluronic acid to add to that rejuvenated glow.

While you might feel like your skin has been emptied and refilled to within an inch of its life, the next stage has more of a calming effect.

LED lights are used, depending on your skin type, to complete the process – a red light to simulate collagen production and calm redness and blue to reduce acne-causing bacteria.

There’s a lot packed into your hour, and having sensitive, inflammation-prone skin, I was concerned that the ‘no downtime’ rule might not have applied to me.

But true to its word, the Hyrdrafacial left my skin looking revitalised, healthier and not a red patch in sight.
