Elemental Facial FAQs
What is the Elemental Facial? Is it for everyone? Are the results immediate? What about aftercare? How often should I have the treatment?What is the Elemental Facial?
The Minster Clinic elemental facial is our take on the IS Clinical Fire and HydraFacial fusion treatment, combining the powerful yet gentle resurfacing power of Fire and Ice with the unique patented vortex-fusion technology of HydraFacial to remove dead skin and impurities as well as to deliver powerful anti-oxidant botanical ingredients such as horse chestnut seed, red algae and green tea extract, and the most desirable nutrients such as hyaluronic acid, copper, zinc and magnesium peptides to hydrate the skin and improve collagen production.
Each step in the process enhances the next, leading to an effective revitalising facial treatment which will leave you with a healthy glow!
Is it for everyone?
The Elemental Facial is safe for all skin types, restoring skin health with visible improvements in everyone, and is well tolerated with no downtime.
We do advise that Hydrafacial is avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Patients who are on Roaccutane should avoid Hydrafacial treatment until 6 months after the medication is stopped.
Patients who have known allergies to honey and shellfish can still have the Elemental Facial with slight modifications to the HydraFacial element
Are the results immediate?
You will notice the results immediately - your skin will have a healthy glow, and feel noticeably tighter and more refreshed. Like the regular HydraFacial treatments, we will be able to show you the impurities and dead skin that have been extracted. There is no downtime, and Elemental facial treatments are perfect for those special occasions where you want to look your best!
What about aftercare?
No specific aftercare is required. However, regular moisturiser and good effective sun protection for 4 weeks is important following treatment. We highly recommend IS Clinical's highly acclaimed Moisturising Complex and SpF 30 which has added benefits to sun-protection.
How often should I have the treatment?
Like Hydrafacial, the best way to use the Elemental Facial is as an ongoing investment in skin health. Ideally we would recommend one session a month to maintain Skin Health for Life. To make this cost-effective and affordable, we have packages of courses where discounts are applied for patients committing to regular treatments.
The Elemental facial can be used to treat problem skin such as skin affected by Acne or uneven pigmentation, and both Fire and Ice and HydraFacial elements synergistically combine to improve these conditions.
