If you’re looking for a facial that delivers instant results without any downtime, the HydraFacial at aNume Medical Clinic in Cork should be at the top of your list. Having just experienced my second HydraFacial there, I can confidently say it’s become one of my favourite skincare treatments—and here’s why.

 

Why HydraFacial?

This signature treatment is the perfect blend of deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation, and intense hydration, designed to leave your skin smoother, brighter, and healthier. The real magic lies in the unique suction device used during the procedure. Think of it as a mini vacuum for your face, removing oil, dead skin, and impurities while simultaneously infusing your skin with hydrating serums packed with antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid.

The result? Instant luminosity, a smoother texture, and healthier-looking skin—all without a moment of discomfort or redness.

 

What Makes aNume Special

Choosing the right clinic for your HydraFacial is key, and aNume Medical Clinic ticks all the boxes. Their patient-focused approach, highly trained professionals, and warm, welcoming atmosphere make every visit a treat. The expert team ensures your treatment is tailored to your skin type and needs.

 

My Experience, Step-by-Step

During my HydraFacial, therapist Elizabeth walked me through every step of the process:

  • Pre-Cleanse: Using a gentle antioxidant cleanser, she prepped my skin for the treatment ahead.

  • Exfoliation: A blue-tipped device gently exfoliated the surface of my skin while cleansing with the Activ-4 Skin Solution removing dead cells and debris.

  • Peel: The GlySal Peel came next, opening up my pores for a deeper cleanse. It worked in harmony with the device’s suction feature to extract impurities while infusing my skin with active ingredients.

  • Extractions: Focused on my T-zone, Elizabeth used a Beta-Hydroxy Solution with a textured tip to remove blackheads and deeply clean my pores.

  • Antioxidant Boost: The treatment finished with the Antiox+ Skin Solution, a potent serum loaded with peptides and antioxidants to hydrate and protect my skin.

Each solution neutralises the effects of the previous one, ensuring my skin’s barrier stayed intact and protected throughout. Elizabeth topped off the session with O COSMEDICS Mineral Pro SPF 50, calming any potential inflammation while locking in moisture. The results were immediate—my skin felt smooth, looked radiant, and had that enviable “glass skin” glow.

 

Real Results

As someone with combination skin, hyperpigmentation, and the early signs of ageing, I was amazed at how clear, lifted, and even my skin looked after just one session. Ten days later, the results were still visible—less oiliness, more even texture, and a noticeable reduction in blackheads.

 

Why You Should Try It

The HydraFacial isn’t just a luxury treatment; it’s a game-changer for anyone serious about skin health. It’s suitable for all skin types (yes, even sensitive ones!) and takes only 30–45 minutes. Whether you’re dealing with dryness, congestion, or dullness—or simply want to maintain a youthful glow—this treatment has you covered.
