[Review] Hydro Therapeutics Facial at IDS Aesthetics

Wednesday 17 January 2018

Many of you have been writing to me and asking how I kept my acne under control. Here’s the trick - use the correct products for your skin and go for facials to clean your pores. The range of IDS Skincare that I’m using have been keeping my acne under control. However, sometimes stress or environment can clog up my pores, causing a breakout. When this happens, I will go to IDS Aesthetics for a facial and my skin will clear up and be under control again. By right I’m supposed to go for monthly or bi-monthly facials to maintain my skin. However, due to my schedule, I only visit when a breakout happen and I won’t recommend this cause… hyperpigmentation takes time to go away.


I haven’t been able to blog about the previous facials cause I can’t take proper photos with my eyes covered during facial hahahas. But this time, I made my bf visit IDS Aesthetics for a facial with me! Since both of us had our facials done, here is a review by him and her. Fyi, IDS Aesthetics has a really good promo (it’s more than 50% off), scroll to the end of the post to find out what it is!

HYDRO THERAPEUTICS FACIAL (HTF)

Both bf and I did HTF that day. I've been trying to drag him for facial cause he has some clogged pores, so for him it's mainly for deep cleansing. As for myself, my skin was a little sensitive after my trip to Taiwan so I couldn't do ATT+ and did HTF instead. Usually Jo Jo is the therapeutist who does my facials, but she was busy that day so someone else did our facials for us.


So what is IDS Aesthetics' HTF? It is a four-step facial that promises brighter and radiant skin in under an hour, and it received multiple cosmeceutical facial awards over the past years!

Step 0: Cleansing and scrub (if necessary/skin condition allows).

Step 1: Hydrafacial which uses water jet stream to remove dirt on your skin.

Step 2: Ultrasonic cleansing to loosen comedones, remove sebum and manual extraction of comedones.

Step 3: Vitamin C penetration using mild ultrasonic electrical currents to brighten the skin.

Step 4: A mask tailor-made to suit the needs of your skin.

REVIEW BY HER


I'm not new to this facial but I just realized I have never reviewed the Hydro Therapeutics Facial (HTF) before. I've only reviewed the Advanced Acne Treatment Plus (AAT+) previously. I think both facials are similar but AAT+ has an additional step where they use light to kill the bacteria on your skin to control the acne.

I love IDS Aesthetics' facials cause it always leaves my skin really really clear, radiant and smooth! Bf always asks me why is my skin so soft and smooth. Now after trying the facial himself, he finally knows the reason why hahahas. Most importantly, these facials help me clear up my pores so I can have a better control over my skin and stop any potential major breakouts. Those who are scared of pain, it wasn't that painful for me. Maybe I'm immune to the pain, but... if you really find it too painful, just let them know. They can pause and give you a break before continuing! ;)

REVIEW BY HIM



It was my first time getting a facial done and although i was suprised by how painful (but bearable) it is getting my face squeezed, I have to say that im really impressed with the results. I could really see and feel a difference in my skin as my whiteheads cleared up and my skin was bouncier and smoother! Will definitely recommend the HTF to anyone who requires a deep cleanse.

    1. Hi, other than going to IDS Aesthetics for facial, I'm using IDS Skincare products to control my acne too. I don't have any close up photos though. My skin started having tiny bumps after my Taiwan trip. I was advised to add one product to my skincare routine and I'm currently monitoring the effectiveness. I will blog about it after trying the products for a little longer.
