Question 1

What is a HydraFacial and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

A HydraFacial is a multi-step facial treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection in a single session. Using patented vortex suction technology, the treatment removes impurities from your pores while simultaneously infusing nourishing serums deep into the skin. At Carisma in Malta, every HydraFacial is personalised with targeted boosters selected for your skin type and concerns — whether that is acne, ageing, dullness, or dehydration. The result is visibly clearer, brighter, and more hydrated skin immediately after treatment.

Question 2

How much does a HydraFacial cost in Malta?

Accepted Answer

HydraFacial at Carisma starts from €99 for the Fresh Package (30 minutes), which includes idropeeling, bubble pen, and scrubber plus complimentary spa access. The Glow Package is €139 (50 minutes) with five treatment steps, and the Signature Package is €199 (80 minutes) with the complete eight-step experience including micro currents, nano needling, and crio handle. All packages include complimentary parking at the InterContinental Hotel. Book a free consultation at our St. Julian's clinic for a personalised recommendation.

Question 3

Is a HydraFacial painful?

Accepted Answer

No. HydraFacial is a gentle, non-invasive treatment with no pain or discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a cool, refreshing feeling on the skin — similar to a light suction. There is no need for anaesthetic cream or numbing. The vortex extraction step may feel slightly tingly on sensitive areas, but it is completely comfortable. It is one of the reasons HydraFacial is one of the most popular facial treatments in Malta — the experience is relaxing from start to finish.

Question 4

How long do HydraFacial results last?

Accepted Answer

You will see an immediate improvement in your skin's clarity, hydration, and glow after a single session. These results typically last 5-7 days, with some patients noticing benefits for up to two weeks depending on their skin type and lifestyle. For sustained results, we recommend monthly HydraFacial sessions as part of your ongoing skincare routine. Many of our Malta patients book monthly appointments to maintain their complexion year-round. Your aesthetician will recommend the ideal frequency during your session.

Question 5

How often should I get a HydraFacial?

Accepted Answer

For optimal skin health, we recommend a HydraFacial once a month. This aligns with your skin's natural 28-day renewal cycle, ensuring you consistently maintain clear pores, balanced hydration, and a radiant complexion. Some patients preparing for special events book sessions more frequently — for example, weekly sessions in the lead-up to a wedding or holiday. Your aesthetician at Carisma will design a maintenance schedule based on your skin goals and concerns.

Question 6

What is the difference between a HydraFacial and a regular facial?

Accepted Answer

A standard facial typically involves manual cleansing, steam, and product application on the surface of the skin. A HydraFacial uses patented vortex technology to simultaneously cleanse, extract, and infuse active ingredients deep into the skin — achieving more thorough results in less time. The extraction step is painless (no manual squeezing), and the serum delivery is significantly deeper than topical application alone. At Carisma, our HydraFacial also includes personalised boosters and advanced technology like LED, micro currents, and nano needling depending on your package — making it a medical-grade facial treatment rather than a basic spa facial.

Question 7

Can I combine HydraFacial with other treatments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. HydraFacial is an excellent complement to many other aesthetic treatments. It is commonly paired with microneedling (HydraFacial before to prepare the skin, microneedling after for deeper collagen stimulation), Botox or dermal fillers (HydraFacial a few days before or after injectables for optimal skin condition), and chemical peels (alternating monthly). Your aesthetician or doctor at our Malta clinic can recommend the ideal treatment combination based on your skin goals.

Question 8

Is HydraFacial suitable for sensitive skin?

Accepted Answer

Yes. HydraFacial is suitable for virtually all skin types, including sensitive skin. At Carisma, we offer a dedicated Sensitive Skin booster formulated with calming, soothing ingredients that reduce redness and irritation. Your aesthetician will adjust the treatment intensity, suction level, and serum selection based on your skin's sensitivity. Many patients with rosacea-prone or reactive skin find HydraFacial to be the only facial treatment they can tolerate comfortably.

Question 9

What should I avoid after a HydraFacial?

Accepted Answer

After your HydraFacial, avoid heavy makeup for at least 6 hours to allow your skin to breathe and absorb the serums fully. Avoid direct sun exposure and apply SPF 30+ for the next 48 hours. Do not use retinol, glycolic acid, or other strong active ingredients for 24 hours. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and steam rooms for 12-24 hours. Your skin will be deeply hydrated and glowing immediately — most patients find they do not want to cover it with makeup anyway.

Question 10

Who should not get a HydraFacial?

Accepted Answer

HydraFacial is not recommended for patients with active skin infections or open wounds in the treatment area, severe pustular acne, active cold sore outbreaks, or a known allergy to any treatment ingredients. If you have had a recent chemical peel, laser treatment, or microneedling session, you should wait at least two weeks before booking a HydraFacial. During your consultation at our Malta clinic, your aesthetician will review your skin history to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
