I recently received the Hydrafacial Platinum treatment at Galway’s new Thérapie Clinic and was completely blown away by the results and experience. Spoiler: it was amazing!
Galway's new Thérapie Clinic building itself is stunning. I was really impressed by the full scale of its sleek design that stretches across multiple floors and enjoyed the warmth and cosiness of their state-of-the-art treatment rooms. These treatment rooms have been individually designed to accommodate the many different treatments Thérapie Clinic offers.
On the day of my appointment, I met with my therapist Ada, who was incredible. Her level of professional, love of her work and the care she took to ensure I was comfortable throughout the appointment was phenomenal, I was really grateful that she listened and answered all my questions and talked me through each step of the treatment. I was especially eager for the appointment because with the changeability of the Galway weather my skin has been suffering and I was looking forward to giving it a bit more care thanks to Thérapie Clinic. (After expressing my skin concerns with Ada, she gave me three samples -Soothing Serum and Salicylic Gel Cleanser from Skin Theory and Clinicare EGF Tight Mask - to bring home to try and I am loving these products.)
Hydrafacial - what is it? And what does it do?
This is a rejuvenating treatment that delivers instant results without any redness and can be tailored to accommodate your specific skin needs. It’s also suitable for all skin types. Hydrafacial is a process that removes dead skin cells and impurities while also enriching the skin with hydrating and moisturising serums.
The Hydrafacial process can be broken down into 4 simple steps; Cleanse, Exfoliate, Extract and Hydrate. Cleansing (step one) removes any traces of makeup as well as softens the skin in preparation of the next step; exfoliation. This gives the skin a deeper cleanse and removes any acne inducing debris. Extraction (step three) removes any build up in the pores with painless suction. I found the whole process to be incredibly therapeutic and experienced no discomfort at any stage. My skin was also treated to Red and Blue Light Therapy which improves skin health and helps to reduce inflammation. The final step was hydration as moisturisers were massaged into the skin. It was at this step that Ada applied a booster to my skin, and when the treatment came to an end. I was in total awe at the difference I could see. My skin looked nourished, plumped and most importantly healthy. It was such a big difference from when I first arrived and I’m delighted to say that the effects did not wear off anytime soon after. I’m still enjoying the benefits a week later.
If you find yourself thinking that your skin routine could do with a boost be sure to book in for a consultation. Not only are these consultations completely free but the team can respond to your individual skin wants and needs and give you advice tailored to your concerns. These consultations can take up to 30 minutes but it really depends on what you are looking for.
I’ve already got plans for my next visit and highly recommend them to anyone who wants to feel more confident with the appearance of their skin. Thérapie Clinic regularly runs fabulous offers including buy 1 get 1 free on their laser treatments, so be sure to give them a follow so you don’t miss their latest deals.
