The perfect pre- or post-travel treatment, the HydraFacial has been a mainstay on the world’s wellness scene since its invention in Southern California in 1997. Using the power of water and suction, it deep cleanses, exfoliates, extracts and hydrates, with minimal downtime and redness. Many clinics in Dubai offer the service, or their own unique alternative – here are the very best, tried and tested, spots for a HydraFacial in Dubai.

Mandarin Oriental Jumeira

Where? Jumeirah 1
How much? From AED1,200

While there are dozens of spots for the Hydrafacial in Dubai, all at varying degrees of cost and time, there are very few ultra-luxurious ones – ones that combine the full, robust, deep-cleansing experiences but in a sublime setting with a host of added TLC. As one of the city’s most luxurious beach resorts, Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai, also has one of its most stunning spas and wellness centres, which has just launched the new Mandarin Platinum treatment, which offers an amped-up version of the HydraFacial. The 90-minute treatment includes lymphatic drainage, deep cleansing, exfoliation and LED light therapy deep cleansing – all of which are painless and done using the HydraFacial machine. What slight redness there is then soothed with an LED light therapy mask, further reducing inflammation. While the mask is on, guests enjoy a relaxing massage of the arms, neck and head. A shorter version is available for 60 minutes for AED1,200 and includes lymphatic drainage, deep cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, arm, neck and head massage and LED light therapy.

Facette Facial Bar

Where? Millennium Atria in Business Bay
How much? From AED577.50

Facette Facial Bar offers a very worthy alternative to the patented HydraFacial at an affordable price – the Hydra Boost facial. Using a gentle suction to deeply cleanse the pores, the facial offers a multi-step process that cleanses exfoliates with lactic acid or salicylic acid and hydrates with antioxidants and hyaluronic acid. Located in the Millennium Atria in Business Bay, this stylish and modern wellness space offers a host of facials and other skincare treatments, but we highly recommend this one. Target specific problems with one treatment every two weeks before settling into a routine of monthly facials for optimal skin glow.
