What is a Hydrafacial?

Hydrafacial is a multi-step hydradermabrasion treatment that combines crystal-free,  microdermabrasion–style exfoliation with vacuum-assisted extractions and vortex-infused serums.

A single session can include up to seven therapies:

  • Lymphatic drainage
  • Microdermabrasion-like cleansing/exfoliation
  • A gentle chemical peel
  • Painless extractions
  • Targeted boosters
  • LED light (red or blue)
  • Intensive hydration

Peer-reviewed research on hydradermabrasion and post-microdermabrasion antioxidant infusion supports improved skin appearance, hydration, and dermal markers when exfoliation is paired with serum delivery.

Benefits of Hydrafacial

  • Immediate, dewy radiance; smoother-looking texture and more even-looking tone
  • Appearance of reduced congestion and visibly refined pores
  • Customizable boosters to target fine lines/wrinkles, dullness, and blemish-prone skin
  • Gentle, comfortable treatment with no downtime; results build over time

Are You a Candidate for Hydrafacial?

You may be a good fit if you want to improve the appearance of:

  • Dull/dehydrated skin
  • Fine lines and early texture changes
  • Clogged or enlarged-looking pores
  • Blemish-prone or oily skin
  • Uneven tone after seasonal stress or travel

Most skin types—even sensitive—can be treated with adjustments to tips, peel strength, and boosters. During the consultation, we’ll review your skin history (recent peels/lasers, topical retinoids, pregnancy/breastfeeding, active infections).

What to Expect: Before, During, and After

Consultation

  • First, we’ll assess your skin, goals, and timeline
  • Next, we’ll map a personalized protocol (Signature, Deluxe, or Platinum) and booster selection
  • Finally, we’ll review pricing and recommended frequency (often every 4–6 weeks for maintenance)

Procedure

  1. Lymphatic drainage to support de-puffing and contour
  2. Cleanse + microdermabrasion-style exfoliation to lift dull surface cells
  3. Gentle peel (customized acids) to brighten the look of skin
  4. Painless vacuum extractions to decongest pores
  5. Targeted booster (e.g., for tone, lines, or clarity)
  6. LED therapy (red for general rejuvenation; blue for blemish-prone skin)
  7. Hydration infusion with antioxidant-rich serums for that signature glow

Recovery & Results

  • You’ll immediately notice a dewy, plump, “just-had-a-facial” glow
  • After 48–72 hours, the skin often looks especially smooth, and makeup sits better
  • Results are cumulative with consistent visits, and protocols can be adjusted as your skin changes

FAQ

How long does a Hydrafacial appointment take?

Most sessions take about 45-60 minutes, making it easy to fit into a lunch break or a busy schedule.

How often should I get a Hydrafacial?

We often recommend every 4–6 weeks for general skin maintenance. If you’re targeting a specific concern, such as congestion or uneven texture, a series of treatments may be suggested for optimal results.

Are there any risks or side effects?

Hydrafacial is considered very low-risk. Most people experience only mild redness right after treatment, which usually fades within an hour. Rarely, those with very sensitive skin may notice temporary tightness or slight flaking. We’ll review your history carefully to avoid unwanted effects.

What should I avoid before and after a Hydrafacial?

We recommend pausing strong exfoliants, retinoids, or aggressive skincare for a few days before and after treatment. To maximize results, avoid heat exposure (like saunas) or heavy makeup for 24 hours after treatment.

Will a Hydrafacial help with acne or breakouts?

Yes. The extraction and Blue LED steps are especially helpful for blemish-prone skin. Over time, Hydrafacial can help reduce visible congestion, calm redness, and improve the look of oily skin.

Is there downtime after treatment?

There’s no actual downtime; you can return to work, events, or errands immediately. Most patients leave the office with a refreshed glow that improves over the next 48–72 hours.

Can men benefit from Hydrafacial too?

Absolutely! Hydrafacial is effective for all genders. Many men use it to address clogged pores, sun damage, and dryness from shaving. It’s also a quick, discreet treatment with no recovery time.
