Intensive Hydration and
Instant Radiant Glow
The HydraGlow Facial at Cosmetics by Briony is an intensive hydration treatment that uses patented Vortex-Fusion technology to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, extract impurities, and flood the skin with nourishing actives. The result is plump, glowing, deeply moisturised skin with no downtime.
Whether you are treating dull, dehydrated skin, congested pores, fine lines, or uneven texture, the HydraGlow Facial can be fully personalised to your skin concerns through the addition of targeted boosters and enhancements chosen by your practitioner.
Individual results will vary. Your practitioner will assess your skin during your complimentary consultation and recommend the most suitable HydraGlow treatment and booster combination for your goals.
How the HydraGlow
Facial Works
Every HydraGlow Facial begins with three core steps powered by patented Vortex-Fusion technology, then builds with customised boosters tailored to your skin.
Cleanse
Deep cleansing and gentle exfoliation using a mild chemical peel to uncover a fresh new layer of skin, removing dead cells and surface debris.
Extract
Painless, gentle suction removes impurities and congestion from pores without discomfort or redness, leaving skin clear and refined.
Hydrate
The skin is saturated with intense moisturisers, antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid for an immediate, luminous glow.
Tailored to Your
Unique Skin
No two skins are the same. At Cosmetics by Briony, your HydraGlow Facial is built around your individual skin profile. Our practitioners assess your skin type, concerns, and goals to select the precise combination of boosters and techniques that will deliver the best possible outcome for you.
From congested oily skin to dry and dehydrated complexions, the HydraGlow can be adapted at every step to serve your skin exactly where it needs it most.
Individual results will vary. All treatments follow a personalised skin assessment by our qualified team.

What Our Clients
Are Saying
My skin has never looked or felt this hydrated. The HydraGlow Facial at Cosmetics by Briony is absolutely incredible. I walked out glowing and my skin stayed plump and radiant for weeks.
Briony and her team are so professional and knowledgeable. The HydraFacial was gentle, relaxing, and the results were immediate. My pores looked smaller and my skin was so clear afterwards.
I came in with congested, dull skin and left with a genuine glow. The consultation was thorough and the team took the time to explain everything. Will absolutely be returning every month.
Absolutely love this clinic. The Platinum HydraGlow with LED was the best facial I have ever had. No redness, no downtime, and my skin looked like a filter was on it for days.
Courtney was so gentle and the results spoke for themselves. My skin texture improved noticeably after just one session. I highly recommend adding the neck and decolletage treatment too.
I was nervous about my first HydraFacial but the team at Cosmetics by Briony made me feel completely at ease. The results were beyond what I expected and I booked my next appointment before leaving.
You May Benefit from HydraGlow
If You Experience...
Dull or Dehydrated Skin
If your skin feels tight, looks lacklustre, or lacks that natural radiance, the HydraGlow Facial delivers an immediate and visible hydration boost.
Congested Pores
Blackheads, clogged pores, or persistent congestion respond exceptionally well to the extraction and infusion steps of the HydraGlow Facial.
Uneven Skin Texture
Rough patches, enlarged pores, and irregular texture can be significantly improved through the exfoliation and resurfacing phase of each treatment.
Fine Lines and Early Ageing
Intense hydration and targeted peptide boosters may help to soften the appearance of fine lines and support skin firmness over time. Individual results vary.

Your Journey From
Consultation to Results
Every client at Cosmetics by Briony is guided through the experience with care, transparency, and clinical expertise from their first contact through to glowing results.
Your Complimentary Consultation
Your HydraGlow journey begins with a personalised skin consultation. Our practitioners assess your skin type, concerns, lifestyle, and goals to determine the most appropriate HydraGlow level and booster combination for your session. There is no obligation to proceed on the day.

Based on your skin assessment, your clinician will design a HydraGlow treatment tailored to your specific needs, selecting from our range of Signature, Deluxe, or Platinum options along with any recommended booster serums and add-ons.
The Treatment
Your HydraGlow session takes between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the level chosen. The treatment is relaxing, comfortable, and requires no downtime. Most clients experience an immediate glow with skin feeling deeply hydrated and noticeably clearer. Individual results will vary.

Expert Practitioners On-Site

How to Prepare and
What to Expect After
Following these simple guidelines will help you achieve the best possible results from your HydraGlow Facial.
- Book your complimentary skin consultation with one of our experienced practitioners to discuss your goals and any skin concerns
- Avoid using retinol or exfoliating acids for at least 48 hours before your appointment to prevent sensitivity during treatment
- Arrive with clean skin, free of heavy makeup, sunscreen, and oils in the treatment area to allow for the best product penetration
- Inform your practitioner of all current skincare products, medications, and any skin conditions or recent procedures
- Stay well hydrated in the 24 hours before your appointment. Hydrated skin responds better to treatment and achieves a more luminous result
- Your skin will be freshly infused with active serums. Use a gentle cleanser and avoid harsh skincare products for 24 hours post-treatment
- Apply SPF 30 or above if heading outdoors, as the exfoliation phase can temporarily increase sun sensitivity
- Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and intense exercise for 24 hours after your session to allow serums to fully absorb
- Results are typically immediate, with skin appearing brighter, clearer, and more hydrated from the moment you leave the clinic
- Most clients find a monthly HydraGlow treatment supports ongoing skin health and maintains their best results over time
