HydraFacial: the deep, clean glow
HydraFacial uses patented vortex technology in three steps: cleanse and peel, extract and hydrate, then fuse and protect with nourishing serums and antioxidants. At OR'Si every HydraFacial is performed on the Syndeo, the latest HydraFacial system.
It feels cool and refreshing, there's no squeezing, and there's no downtime. That makes it my first suggestion for blocked pores, dehydrated or tired-looking skin, and anyone with an event in the next few days.
Choose it if: you want clearer pores and instant radiance, or regular monthly maintenance.
Biologique Recherche: Parisian precision and touch
Biologique Recherche treatments begin with your Skin Instant®: the condition of your skin on that particular day. The skin is prepared with the brand's iconic Lotion P50, then concentrated serums and masks are chosen and applied with specialised massage movements that help lift contours and reduce the appearance of puffiness.
As I tell my clients, it is the Rolls-Royce of the skincare world. It is active and purposeful, yet deeply calming.
Choose it if: your skin is mature, dehydrated or sensitive, or you'd love a more sculpted, lifted look from a hands-on ritual.
pHformula: renewal, without the peel
pHformula is a controlled approach to resurfacing. Advanced acid complexes are released gradually and evenly through a unique delivery system, and blends are layered onto the skin according to your concerns. For a more intensive treatment, it can be combined with nanoneedling.
Downtime is usually just a few hours, with no prolonged, visible peeling. As a pHformula UK Educator, this is the treatment I teach other professionals.
Choose it if: pigmentation, uneven texture, breakout-prone skin or signs of ageing are your main concern, and you're happy to commit to a short course.

Can you combine them?
Yes, and many of my clients do. A long-term plan might use pHformula as a focused course, HydraFacial for maintenance in between, and Biologique Recherche or the OR'Si Signature Facial when the skin needs nourishing and lifting. The key is sequencing them sensibly, which is exactly what we plan together.
