At Anaël, this multi-step facial treatment combines deep cleansing with intensive hydration in a single session. We describe it here as facial hydro-microdermabrasion, since the exact brand and model of the equipment used is still to be confirmed.
Technology: A hydra-microdermabrasion facial: it combines gentle suction, exfoliation, and serum infusion across several steps within one session. Equipment: The device used for this treatment is not identified by brand on this page.
What it is
It's a facial hydro-microdermabrasion technique: a device passes over the skin combining gentle suction, exfoliation, and serum infusion across several consecutive steps. The aim is visibly cleaner, brighter, more hydrated skin by the end of the session.
Common goals
It's often chosen for visibly brighter, more hydrated-looking skin — for example ahead of an event, or as part of a regular facial care routine.
Who it may suit
It may suit anyone looking for a visible cleansing-and-hydration effect in a single session, who wants an alternative to the classic facial cleanse with a stronger hydration focus, or who's preparing their skin for a specific occasion. Suitability for each skin type is assessed individually with the Anaël team.
Treatment areas
It's applied mainly to the face. Other areas, such as the neck or décolletage, can be assessed individually on a case-by-case basis.
What a typical appointment looks like
As is typical with in-salon facial treatments, the appointment usually includes a skin assessment, cleansing of the area beforehand, application of the treatment, and some final care tips. Duration and number of sessions vary case by case and are discussed at your initial consultation.
What you might feel
The sensation during an in-salon facial treatment is usually gentle and well tolerated, though it varies depending on the technology used and the area treated. The team walks you through what to expect at your pre-session consultation.
Preparation
As a general guideline before a facial treatment, it's advisable to arrive with clean skin, without makeup if possible, and to mention any allergy, medication, or relevant skin condition to the team. The team adds any further guidance at your pre-treatment consultation.
Aftercare
After a facial treatment, a gentle care routine is usually recommended, with sun protection and avoiding irritating products in the following hours. The team gives you specific aftercare guidance at the end of the session, based on the area treated and your skin.
Some facial treatments can cause mild, temporary redness, similar to that of a deep facial cleanse. The team explains which reactions are common and how to care for your skin afterward.
A treatment adapted to you
At Anaël, every facial treatment is assessed individually based on skin type and each person's goals.
Before booking, a prior consultation with the Anaël team helps confirm whether this treatment suits your skin and your goals.
Alternatives at Anaël
If you're after more routine, lighter facial care, the classic facial cleanse is usually the standard starting point. If your goal is more about skin texture over the medium term, microneedling (Dermapen) takes a different approach, using micro-needles. The Anaël team can help you decide which one best fits your goal.
Common reasons to consult
Commonly sought out for dull, dehydrated skin, uneven texture, or congested pores — especially ahead of events or as part of ongoing facial maintenance.
