When your skin’s feeling dull, dehydrated and uneven, it can be difficult to know where to start. So I headed to Bank Medispa in Hale, one of Cheshire’s most sought-after aesthetic clinics, to try a results-driven treatment that promises to detox, deeply hydrate and re-energise tired skin: the HydraFacial – now supercharged with the new HydraFillic PEP 9 Booster.
First Impressions
Bank Medispa situated on the high street in the heart of Hale village, a modern space that instantly makes you feel like you’re in safe hands. With its welcoming reception and expert-led treatment menu, the clinic has a reputation for combining cutting-edge technology with a warm, client-first approach – and that’s exactly how my visit played out. I spied lots of premium skincare ranges – like SkinCeuticals – upon my entrance, and instantly felt like this is a place that prides itself with the best trained staff and best practices for skin treatments.
I filmed the Friday that I was booked in, which was bit of what I like to call a cheeky ‘glow up Friday’, which you can see below.
The Treatment
HydraFacials are loved for good reason. They offer the perfect balance between a clinical-grade facial and a relaxing experience – and the results can be seen immediately. I’d describe the sensation as similar to a gentle microdermabrasion, but with the added bonus of powerful serum infusions and deep hydration. It kinda has that feeling that all the ‘gunk’ is getting suctioned out of your skin – especially around the nose!
The treatment involves a multi-step approach:
- Deep cleanse and exfoliation
- Gentle peel to loosen impurities
- Vacuum extraction to clear out congestion
- Infusion of targeted boosters to treat specific concerns
- Intensive hydration
The standout of this facial was the addition of the HydraFillic PEP 9 Booster, a brand new powerhouse designed to target pigmentation, smooth texture, and plump the skin. Formulated with a blend of hydrating agents, like triple HA complex and fruit extracts, it gave my skin a refreshed, glass-like glow with no downtime.
Who It’s For
If you’re dealing with:
- Dull, uneven skin tone
- Pigmentation or sun damage
- Dehydration or loss of firmness
…then this is a treatment to look into. The HydraFacial is incredibly gentle (even suitable for sensitive skin), but what really impressed me was how thorough it felt – a proper detox for the face with real skin-enhancing benefits.
The Results
My skin felt instantly smoother, clearer and brighter – with a noticeable radiance that lasted well into the week. Pigmentation looked softened, my complexion felt even, and hydration levels were visibly improved. There’s no downtime, and I was red for around an hour afterwards. As soon as the redness faded, my skin was calm again and I’d say it was the next morning I was reaping that ‘lit-from-within’ look we all want.
If you have fine line and wrinkles and want to find a facial that works to ease them by plumping the skin with hydration, along with decongesting the skin, I would highly recommend.
Final Thoughts
The HydraFacial with the HydraFillic PEP 9 Booster at Bank Medispa is ideal if you’re looking to invest in your skin and get visible results without anything invasive. For me, it’s the perfect reset when your skin needs a boost – and I’ll definitely be back.
