Understanding Aquapure
Aquapure is a medical-grade hydradermabrasion system that combines several clinical steps into one treatment. Gentle aqua peeling and controlled suction clear congested pores and lift away dull surface cells, before targeted serums are infused into the skin using electroporation, and microcurrent is used to tone and revitalise. It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and each session at Arra is tailored to what your skin needs on the day.
How We Approach Aquapure Treatment
Every Aquapure treatment begins with an assessment of your skin’s condition. Depending on whether the focus is congestion, oil control, dehydration, or overall radiance, Dr Lim will tailor the solutions, handpieces, and serums used, either as a standalone treatment or alongside other skin health protocols.
Dr Lim assesses your skin type, hydration levels, and any areas of congestion, uneven texture, or sensitivity. This shapes the choice of solutions and the intensity of each step.
The skin is thoroughly cleansed, then treated with specialised solutions that gently exfoliate. Controlled suction draws out impurities and clears congested pores, leaving the surface smoother and more refined.
Hydrating and nourishing serums, including hyaluronic acid and peptides, are delivered into the skin using electroporation. This allows active ingredients to reach deeper than they would through topical application alone.
Microcurrent and cooling are used to tone the skin, calm any redness, and leave the complexion visibly brighter and refreshed.
Aquapure delivers an immediate result, but its benefits build with regular sessions. Dr Lim will advise on how often to return, whether as a monthly reset or alongside other treatments in your plan.
Results are visible immediately, with skin that looks clearer, smoother, and more luminous straight after treatment. At Arra, Aquapure is often used as part of a longer-term skin health programme, where regular sessions help maintain clarity and support the results of other treatments.
Onset: Immediate clarity, hydration, and luminosity
Duration: The immediate glow typically lasts several days to a week; texture and pore benefits build with regular sessions
Maintenance: Ideal as a monthly or quarterly skin reset, or before a special occasion
Best for: Preparing the skin ahead of other treatments, or maintaining results between courses of LDM, Aerolase, or skin boosters
All timelines are indicative. Dr Lim will provide a personalised outlook during your consultation based on your skin, anatomy, and goals.
FAQ’s
How is Aquapure different from a standard facial?
Aquapure is a medical-grade treatment rather than a spa facial. It combines exfoliation, extraction, serum infusion, and toning in one session, using clinical technology to deliver active ingredients deeper into the skin. The result is a more visible and longer-lasting improvement than a traditional facial can provide.
Is Aquapure suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Each step can be adjusted in intensity, and the solutions used are well tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive and reactive skin. Dr Lim will tailor the treatment accordingly.
How long does a session take?
Most sessions take between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the steps included and the needs of your skin.
Is there any downtime?
No. Some patients notice slight pinkness immediately afterwards, which settles quickly. Your skin will look fresh and hydrated, and you can return to your day straight away.
How often should I have Aquapure?
For ongoing skin health, many patients choose a session every four weeks, in line with the skin’s natural renewal cycle. Others prefer quarterly treatments or a session before an event. Dr Lim will recommend a rhythm that suits your skin and goals.
