HydroFacial Training: Add 14 Premium Treatments to Your Menu

If your clients are asking for advanced facial treatments and you don't currently offer them, you're sending that revenue elsewhere. The HydroFacial training course at Alex James Training Academy is designed to fix that — with full CPD accreditation and your own 14-in-1 machine included in the price.

This isn't a basic introduction course. You leave with the equipment, the qualification, and the practical skills to start treating clients immediately.

What the Course Covers

One day. Practical. Equipment included.

The HydroFacial training is a full in-person day. You'll learn technique, treatment protocols, and client assessment across all 14 functions of the machine. The training is structured for small class sizes to ensure hands-on time and individual attention.

No prior facial treatment experience is required. The course is designed to bring complete beginners to a competent, confident level — as well as giving experienced practitioners a solid foundation in a new treatment category.

What's included in the £2,499 course fee

  • Full in-person training day
  • CE-certified 14-in-1 HydroFacial machine — yours to take away
  • CPD accreditation on successful completion
  • Training materials and resources
  • Ongoing post-course support

A £499 deposit secures your place. Monthly payment options are available for the remaining balance. There are no hidden costs — the machine and everything you need to start treating clients is included.

The 14 Treatments You'll Be Qualified to Offer

One machine. Multiple revenue streams.

The 14-in-1 machine covers a broad range of facial treatments. Here's what each does and why clients book it.

1. HYDRA (Dermabrasion)

The signature HydroFacial treatment. Deep cleansing, blackhead and whitehead removal, immediate results suitable for all skin types. The treatment clients request by name.

2. VAC (Micro-dermabrasion)

Exfoliation therapy for the removal of skin debris, blemishes, fine wrinkles, and unwanted pigmentation. A core treatment for clients with dull or uneven skin tone.

3. High Frequency

Advanced skin restoration targeting acne, freckles, and general skin rejuvenation. Popular with clients seeking a non-invasive treatment for problematic skin.

4. Ultrasonic Face

Improves metabolism and circulation. Works well as a standalone treatment or as a preparation step before other modalities.

5. Ultrasonic Eye

Targeted treatment for the eye area. Reduces puffiness and promotes collagen and elastin production — a high-value add-on treatment.

6. Radiofrequency (3 Pole)

Skin tightening through collagen regeneration. Reduces wrinkle depth and restores skin firmness. A premium treatment that commands premium pricing.

7. BIO (2 Pole)

Bipolar RF treatment for smoothing fine lines and general skin tightening. An anti-ageing treatment suited to most adult clients.

8. PDT (Light Therapy)

Versatile skin correction using light wavelengths. Addresses pore size, collagen production, skin lustre, and dark spots. Used standalone or to enhance other treatments.

9. Microneedle

Advanced rejuvenation for scar reduction, acne treatment, and wrinkle improvement. In-demand among clients with post-acne scarring or skin texture concerns.

10. Scrubber

Deep cleansing with skin rejuvenation and dead skin removal. Often used as a preparation step at the start of a multi-function facial.

11. Bubble Pen

Multi-function tool with anti-ageing, dark circle improvement, and acne treatment functions. Effective for sensitive skin clients who need a gentler approach.

12. VAC (Lymphatic)

Detoxifying facial massage mode. Refines pores, removes blackheads, and provides a relaxing therapeutic experience clients come back for regularly.

13. ICE Head

Cooling soothing treatment used to improve product absorption, reduce post-microneedling discomfort, and calm reactive skin.

14. Spray

Deep hydration delivery to complete treatments and maximise overall results. An effective finishing step that enhances client satisfaction.

HYDROFACIAL TRAINING PRICING

£2,499

Training + CE-certified 14-in-1 machine included

  • ✓ £499 deposit to secure your place
  • ✓ Monthly payment available on remaining balance
  • ✓ No hidden costs — machine included in course fee
  • ✓ CPD accreditation on completion

What you can charge

HydroFacial treatments typically range from £80 to £150 per session in UK salons. The treatment encourages repeat bookings — most clients return every four to six weeks for maintenance.

Break-even timeline

At £100 per treatment and two to three bookings per week, the course fee is typically recovered within two to three months. Beyond that, the machine and qualification continue generating revenue indefinitely.

Machine value in context

Purchasing a comparable multi-function facial machine separately — without training — would typically cost £2,000–£4,000 on its own, with no guarantee of insurance approval or professional accreditation. The combined package provides both, at a cost that reflects genuine value rather than inflated pricing.

Who This Course Is Designed For

Beauty professionals ready to expand their offering

This course suits you if:

  • You're a salon owner wanting to add advanced facial treatments without a full aesthetics qualification
  • You're a mobile therapist looking to expand your service range and increase average booking value
  • You currently turn clients away who ask about HydroFacial treatments
  • You want to attract a higher-value client base without significant upfront equipment cost
  • You're a complete beginner to facial treatments and want a structured, accredited qualification

No experience required

The course is designed from the ground up for practitioners without prior facial treatment experience. If you already offer facials or skin treatments, you'll find the course builds on your existing client-facing skills.

Why training matters

Most insurance providers require accredited training before covering advanced facial treatments. A CPD-certified qualification also builds client confidence — particularly important for treatments like microneedling and radiofrequency where clients are more cautious about who they trust.

Certification and Accreditation

What you receive and what it means

The HydroFacial training is CPD-accredited. CPD (Continuing Professional Development) certification is recognised across the UK beauty industry and is the standard most insurers look for when approving coverage for advanced treatments.

Certification is awarded on successful completion of the practical assessment, which takes place during the training day itself. You leave with your certificate the same day.
