Hydrafacial
Treatment

HydraFacial is a soothing treatment that uses a constant jet of water to exfoliate, flush out impurities, and deliver anti-aging serums. Because it uses water instead of harsh abrasives, chemicals, or heat, HydraFacial is a safe, effective treatment to help all skin types minimize sun damage and signs of aging and restore a healthy glow.

HydraFacial feels great on the skin, takes only 30 minutes to complete, does not irritate the skin, and provides immediately visible improvements with zero downtime.

Who Is a Good Candidate for HydraFacial Treatments?
 

Most everyone is a good candidate for a HydraFacial because it can be tailored to the specific needs of each individual’s skin. Whether you’re a teenager with acne or an adult with pimples, wrinkles or sun damage, a HydraFacial can be tailored to treat your specific condition.

​

To ensure your unique treatment fits your needs, the process begins with a consultation and skin evaluation session. Following the skin evaluation and possible sensitivity testing, your dermatologist will be able to choose the specific serums that are most beneficial to your skin type. This means that even individuals with sensitive skin are usually good candidates for HydraFacials.

 

While HydraFacials offer a versatile solution that is effective in a variety of situations, they are not a suitable treatment for addressing:

• Deeper wrinkles

• Scars

• Deep hyperpigmentation problems

• Broken veins in the skin

​

One of the great things about HydraFacials is that they are simple. There’s no need to take extensive skin preparation steps or change your skincare routine before or after treatment. For the most part, you’re able to continue your daily skincare regimen right up to the day of treatment and resume your routine immediately after your HydraFacial. Patients may need to skip certain medications or medicated treatments a day or two before treatment, but this is rare.

 

Each person’s HydraFacial appointment will be slightly different as the aesthetic service provider will customize it to the individual patient’s needs, but in most cases, the HydraFacial involves a three-step treatment process: cleansing, exfoliating, and serum administration.

​

Cleansing – the dermatologist or aesthetician will cleanse skin thoroughly to remove any surface-level grime or dead skin cells.
Exfoliating – a deplaning tool and/or light chemical peel may be used to remove damaged and dead layers of skin to reveal the healthiest, new skin.
HydraFacial – a specialized vortex-infusion nozzle is used to gently extract dirt, debris, oil, and dead skin cells from pores. Simultaneously, the vortex-infusion nozzle pumps your customized serums and treatments back into your skin to moisturize, promote cell turnover, increase collagen production, and address any specific skin health concerns. This process is highly customizable and can be effective on even the most sensitive skin such as around the eyes to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, or the lips to create a smoother, plumper appearance.

 

The HydraFacial is fast and efficient, with treatments usually taking just 30 to 45 minutes. Because it’s non-invasive, you’ll be able to reapply your makeup and return to work or other regular daily activities as soon as you’re finished. This is truly a no-downtime treatment option. Other facials that offer extractions are often very uncomfortable for patients and lead to skin inflammation and irritation that can last for days after the initial treatment.

​

Are There Any Side Effects After a HydraFacial?
 

Although the treatment is painless and most patients have no after-effects at all, a small number of patients will experience a slight tightness or redness of the skin that goes away within an hour or two after treatment. Very rarely, individuals with sensitive skin may experience swelling around the eyes or redness that continues for more than a day, but it can usually be treated at home with cold compresses.

​

How Long will a HydraFacial Last?
 

HydraFacials are most effective when they are done consistently. In most cases, dermatologists recommend one HydraFacial treatment session a month to keep skin looking fresh and rejuvenated. As patients receive consistent HydraFacial treatments, they will continue to see a decreased appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots, and other skin imperfections. It can also help reduce oily skin and the negative impact of chronic skin conditions like acne.
