HydraFacial in Kochi: Prices, Types and Aftercare
If you're looking up a HydraFacial in Kochi, the first question is usually the price and the second is which version you actually need. This guide walks through the four HydraFacials at Toni&Guy Essensuals on Infopark Road, Kakkanad, what each one adds, and how to time one before a wedding, a party or a big week at work.
Every price here comes from the salon's current rate card and is before GST.
What a HydraFacial actually does
A HydraFacial is a device-led facial. Instead of relying only on hands, steam and a mask, it uses a handpiece with suction and serum delivery to work through the skin in stages. At the salon, every session follows the same order:
- Skin consultation. Your skin type and concerns decide which HydraFacial and which boosters you get.
- Cleanse and exfoliate. Dead skin is lifted away to show fresher skin underneath.
- Peel and extraction. A gentle peel loosens congestion, then suction clears blackheads and pores.
- Hydrate and protect. Serums are infused into the skin, finished with hydration and sun protection.
There's usually no redness or peeling afterwards, so most people go straight back to work. The suction feels like a gentle pull and the peel may tingle for a moment, but it shouldn't hurt.
HydraFacial prices in Kakkanad
| HydraFacial | What it includes | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Deluxe | 7-in-1 | ₹5,999 |
| Signature | 10-in-1 | ₹7,999 |
| Luxury | 10-in-1 + skin tightening + open-pore care | ₹10,999 |
| Premium | 10-in-1 + skin tightening + open-pore care + under-eye treatment + clean-up | ₹14,999 |
Deluxe 7-in-1, ₹5,999
A good first HydraFacial. You get the full cleanse, exfoliation, extraction and hydration sequence, which is what most people come in for: clearer pores and a same-day glow.
Signature 10-in-1, ₹7,999
The same treatment with more steps. It's the natural step up if your skin is both congested and dehydrated, or if you've had a Deluxe before and want a little more from the session.
Luxury, ₹10,999
Takes the 10-in-1 and adds skin tightening and open-pore care. This one is aimed at firmness and visible pores rather than just a glow.
Premium, ₹14,999
Everything in the Luxury, plus an under-eye treatment and a clean-up. Worth considering if tired under-eyes are your main complaint.
You don't have to decide before you arrive. Your therapist recommends a version after the skin consultation, and you can always start with the Deluxe and move up later. The HydraFacial page has the full details.
The hydra clean-up course
If you'd rather have steady upkeep than a one-off glow, there's a shorter maintenance treatment called the hydra clean-up. It's done as a course of six sittings, three weeks apart, so a full course runs about three and a half months.
| Hydra clean-up | Per sitting |
|---|---|
| Deluxe | ₹3,499 |
| Signature | ₹3,999 |
| Premium | ₹4,999 |
Who a HydraFacial suits
It tends to work well for:
- Dull, tired skin before an event or a busy week
- Congested pores, blackheads or oiliness
- Anyone who wants a facial that shows a difference the same day
- Dehydrated skin from air-conditioned offices and long screen days, a familiar story for anyone working around Infopark
It's usually fine for sensitive and acne-prone skin too, and the consultation is there to check. Tell your therapist about active acne, any recent peels and any prescription skincare you use.
When to see a dermatologist first
See a dermatologist before booking if your skin is inflamed, broken or painful, if you have a rash or an eczema or rosacea flare, or if you're on prescription acne medication such as isotretinoin or a strong retinoid. Peels and extraction are generally postponed until the skin has settled, and your doctor can tell you when it's safe.
HydraFacial or a regular facial?
A regular facial is hands-on: cleansing, massage and a mask chosen for your skin, starting at ₹1,599 for a clean-up. A HydraFacial uses a device to cleanse, extract and infuse serums, and usually gives a bigger same-day glow. If tan is the bigger issue, a de-tan or a de-tan facial may suit you better. Compare the options on the facials page.
Timing a HydraFacial before an event
Two to five days before is a good window. It gives your skin time to settle after extraction, and the glow is still fresh on the day.
- Brides and grooms: fold it into the final week of your pre-wedding plan, after your last cut and colour. See the bridal page for the full timeline and packages.
- Never had one? Try your first HydraFacial a few weeks before a big occasion, not two days before, so you know how your skin responds.
- Regular results: about every four weeks is the usual rhythm.
Aftercare
- Skip retinol, acids and scrubs for 48 hours.
- Wear sunscreen every day. Freshly treated skin burns more easily, and the Kochi sun doesn't take days off.
- Avoid steam rooms, saunas and hard workouts on the same day.
- Go light on makeup for the rest of the day if you can.
