Hydro-Microdermabrasion is a gentle, non‑abrasive way to refresh your skin, clear congestion and boost radiance — all without downtime or irritation. Using controlled water flow, light suction and targeted active ingredients, it exfoliates the skin while simultaneously infusing antioxidants to brighten, hydrate and smooth. At My Genesis Clinic in Canberra, this advanced technology allows us to treat concerns like uneven texture, enlarged pores, congestion and dullness with precision and comfort, leaving your skin clearer, calmer and more luminous straight after your session. It’s an ideal option if you want visible improvement without harsh resurfacing, needles or recovery time.

How does Hydro-Microdermabrasion work?

AquaPeel IV uses calibrated water flow, controlled negative pressure and targeted active ingredients to exfoliate, clear congestion and infuse antioxidants. 

The treatment works through two key phases: 

  • Hydromechanical exfoliation to lift away dead skin cells, clear pores and stimulate superficial circulation. 
  • Targeted resurfacing and antioxidant infusion to deliver corrective ingredients immediately after exfoliation for enhanced absorption and visible results. 

Customisable tip technology 

Three interchangeable applicators allow precise, conditionspecific treatment: 

  • Spiral Tip — vortexassisted infusion of active ingredients 
  • Grid Tip — controlled resurfacing 
  • Cone Tip — lymphatic stimulation and fluid mobilisation 

Treatment parameters are adjusted based on skin type, oil activity, barrier status, inflammation and pigmentation. 

What can I expect during a Hydro-Microdermabrasion treatment?

The structured threestep protocol includes: 

  1. A.P.S. DETOX — Glycolic Acid + Aloe Vera Encourages fresh epidermal renewal while maintaining comfort and hydration. 
  1. A.P.S. PURE — Niacinamide + Chlorhexidine Supports barrier strength, regulates oil and refines clarity. 
  1. A.P.S. AOX — Vitamin C + Thioctic Acid Brightens, protects and supports collagen integrity. 

Am I a suitable candidate for Hydro-Microdermabrasion?

HydroMicrodermabrasion is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive or compromised skin, due to its gentle, nonabrasive nature. It is particularly beneficial for: 

  • Congested or acneprone skin 
  • Enlarged pores 
  • Uneven texture 
  • Postinflammatory pigmentation 
  • Mild photodamage 
  • Dehydrated or barrierimpaired skin 

Because the treatment is nonablative and minimally inflammatory, it can be performed safely throughout the year. 

Is there any post treatment care?

Downtime is minimal. Mild temporary redness may occur, but the skin typically remains hydrated and balanced. 

General postcare includes: 

  • Avoid picking, exfoliating or using active skincare until redness settles 
  • Avoid heat, saunas, spas and heavy exercise for 48 hours 
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and apply SPF daily 
  • Avoid retinoids, AHAs/BHAs and other irritants until the skin feels calm 
  • Maintain hydration and follow your clinician’s recommended postcare products 

What results can I expect?

Many patients notice an immediate improvement in: 

  • Skin luminosity 
  • Smoothness and texture 
  • Pore refinement 
  • Hydration 

For corrective concerns, a course of 3–6 treatments provides cumulative improvement and longterm skin optimisation. 

HydroMicrodermabrasion also integrates seamlessly with advanced treatments such as chemical peels, laser, skin needling and LED, enhancing the penetration and effectiveness of subsequent modalities. 

What are the risks of Hydro-Microdermabrasion?

Because AquaPeel IV is designed to preserve barrier integrity and minimise friction, risks are significantly lower than traditional microdermabrasion. Temporary effects may include: 

  • Mild redness 
  • Light sensitivity 
  • Temporary dryness in some skin types 

The treatment avoids unnecessary inflammation and is designed to keep the skin calm, hydrated and balanced. 

What is the price of Hydro-Microdermabrasion?
