What if you could erase dullness, unclog pores, and glow like a dewy goddess – all in under an hour?
Say hello to the Platinum HydraFacial, a high-tech, no-fuss facial that deep cleans, hydrates, and rejuvenates your skin in six powerhouse steps. No downtime, no stress… just seriously glowing skin.
At the award-winning sk:n Harley Street, known as the UK’s leading skin clinic, this treatment has become a go-to for hydration-boosting, complexion-clearing magic. But does it actually deliver the “glass skin” effect we all dream of? I booked in for the full experience – facial analysis and all – to find out.
What does the treatment promise?
The Platinum HydraFacial is like a deep-clean, glow-up, and hydration infusion all in one. The six-step process – detox, cleanse, exfoliate, brighten, extract, and hydrate – uses a special vortex technology (think: high-tech suction skincare) to remove every last speck of dirt and dead skin, while flooding your face with hydrating serums, peptides, and antioxidants.
“The HydraFacial is designed for everyone,” Felicity Green, Clinical Manager at sk:n Harley Street, tells us, “Its non-invasive nature and deeply hydrating benefits make it perfect for all skin types. Whether you’re targeting fine lines, congestion, or dehydration, it can be fully customised for you.”
The result? Refreshed, plumped, and pollution-proofed skin that looks like a smoothing filter in real life.

The Platinum Hydrafacial experience: From deep clean to LED glow-up
Walking into sk:n Harley Street, the vibe is clinical chic – think discreet luxury, with a modern chandelier-clad waiting room leading to high-tech skin treatments behind every door. But the real moment of truth starts when you sit down for your expert skin consultation, under a series of revealing special lights and ultra magnifying mirrors.
Let’s just say, there’s nothing quite like seeing your pores in HD. My aesthetician (who, thankfully, was very kind about the situation) pointed out my dehydrated under-eyes, congestion in my T-zone, and sun damage I didn’t even know existed. Apparently, I needed a serious detox and a good peel.
Fully humbled, thankfully, I was in the right place to get to work on rehydrating my thirsty skin.
It’s worth noting that this is not a relaxing massage-type facial – but a medical-grade, suction machine level deep-clean and glow up. First, we started on lymphatic drainage to de-puff and boost circulation. Then, a double cleanse and exfoliation, followed by a glycolic-salicylic blend to unclog pores.
My T-zone got some extra extraction love, and then came the serum infusion – I had the option of an anti-aging or brightening boost, where I chose brightening, for ultimate skin-glow.
Just when I thought we were done, in came the LED light therapy – blue light to kill bacteria, red light to calm and rejuvenate. Finally, a hydrating serum, moisturiser, and a delicious-smelling SPF locked in the glow.
The whole thing? Completely hands-free, with the aesthetician using the HydraFacial machine to work its suction magic.
Jump scare warning: The results of the Platinum Hydrafacial are clear to see
What are the results really like?
One word: gleaming.
I walked out glowy, hydrated, and visibly fresher, with a little redness but less than I expected, and thankfully no post-facial breakouts. The only thing as satisfying as the instant post-treatment smoothness was seeing the debris that had been removed from my skin right in front of me (thanks to my practitioner who indulgent my gross fascination).
My skin felt cleaner, smoother, and genuinely more even-toned. No wonder people swear by this treatment as their pre-event go-to.
There’s zero downtime, though you should avoid makeup for 24 hours. I did, and the next day my skin was noticeably brighter and fresher.
As Felicity Green explains, “The HydraFacial delivers instant, visible results. After just one session, your skin will feel deeply hydrated, refreshed, and radiant. It helps to even out skin tone, refine texture, and provide a noticeable glow.”
Why is sk:n Harley Street the clinic to trust?
With a reputation as the UK’s leading skin clinic, sk:n Harley Street knows how to blend medical precision with luxury skin treatments.
