When to call
The AquaFacial is a low-risk treatment and side effects are usually minimal. Bruising or small broken capillaries from suction are uncommon and settle on their own. An irritation or allergic reaction to a product is rare, which is why your history and any sensitivities are checked first. Contact the clinic if you notice anything that concerns you.
The clinic number is 07359 836026. If you are worried, call or message rather than wait. If you cannot reach us and it is urgent, call NHS 111, or 999 in an emergency.
