Hydrabrasion @ Glow Girl!

We've been listening to your requests . . . finally our Hydrabrasion Treatment is here!

In addition to the wonderful facials we already do, we’re introducing Hydrabrasion treatments for those of you who have asked for a more clinical and results driven facial.

What is Hydrabrasion?
Hydrabrasion is a clinical treatment that exfoliates the skin while simultaneously deep cleansing and vacuuming it. Using distilled water customised with botanicals and a diamond tipped applicator, Hydrabrasion thoroughly removes dead skin cells, helps loosen pore plugs, and intensely hydrates the skin. Perfect for stimulating micro circulation and collagen & elastin production.    Hydrabrasion instantly brightens and smooths skin.

Is there any downtime?
No. You may be red and stimulated for the first hour after your treatment but because we do a detailed assessment of your skin prior to the treatment it is completely customised to your skin needs.

What is the difference between Hydrabrasion and Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion uses loose diamond crystals to exfoliate the skin. It can be very drying for the skin and targeted results in more ‘needy’ areas can’t be addressed as the skin is coated in opaque diamond crystals during treatment.

Hydrabrasion uses a diamond tipped applicator to thoroughly exfoliate the skin…we can see how the skin is responding as we are doing the treatment. On top of targeted results, the slight vacuuming action of the diamond tipped head combined with streams of water (customised with botanicals circulated through the tip) means your skin is intensely hydrated during exfoliation.

How often can I have a Hydrabrasion Treatment?
We recommend 1 classic treatment per week for 4 weeks to get you started. After that, 1 Classic or Intensive treatment per month for maintenance is ideal.

What you need to know about spray tans at Glow Girl!

What is it? Dihydroxyacetone or DHA is a colorless sugar that interacts with the dead cells located on the skins surface. As the sugar interacts with the dead skin cells a color change occurs.

How long does it take? We do 2 coats and your appointment will take 20 minutes all up.

What you need to know before tanning. It is ideal if you can exfoliate your body prior to tanning especially the knees, ankles and elbows. Do not moisturize prior, wear deodorant or heavy foundation. But this is only the ideal. It is ok to just come in for a spontaneous tan. We can cater to your individual needs.

After your tan . . . You will look good straight away. The brown colour that may be on your clothes is just a bronzer and will not stain fabric, it will wash out. You'll feel a bit sticky and we wouldn't recommend white, tight clothes, but basically you are ready to go right away. It is ok to shower after 8 hours. It is also important to remember that these products do not contain any sunscreen. So, if you are planning to go outside to show off your glow remember to apply sunscreen.

What do I need to do to maintain my tan? We would recommend moisturizing your body day and night to maintain your tan. We suggest that you try to not soak in a bath or spa and to avoid chlorinated pools to maintain the fabulous colour of your tan. Try to also avoid exfoliating as you will loose your tan.

How long does it last? To maintain the tan without fading it would need to be done every 4 days as the cell turnover in the epidermis is quite fast. You will still be tanned a week after application, it just wont be as dark as the initial 4 days.
