Overview — The HydraFacial difference

HydraFacial is a multi-step, non-invasive facial treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and infuses the skin with serums using a patented vortex delivery device. Unlike manual extractions or simple facials, HydraFacial couples mechanical exfoliation with medical-grade serums to both remove debris and deliver active ingredients to the skin surface; clinical studies show improvements in acne and overall skin appearance after a series of treatments.

How it works? (what the patient feels)

A trained provider moves the HydraFacial handpiece across the face in stages: cleanse/exfoliate to remove dead skin; gentle acid peel to loosen debris; automated vortex extraction to remove blackheads and impurities; then infusion of antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. The process is hydrating, comfortable, and immediately visible — skin often appears plumper and brighter right after.

Ideal candidates & conditions treated

• People seeking instant glow and hydration before events.
• Clients with congested pores, oily or acne-prone skin (specialized clarifying serums/options exist).
• Those who prefer minimal downtime and consistent monthly maintenance.

Treatment plan & expectations

Many clients choose a monthly HydraFacial for maintenance; results are immediate but cumulative improvements occur with regular sessions. For active acne or texture concerns, a short series (4–6) may be recommended.

Pre/post care

• Pre: stop strong topical retinoids 3–5 days prior if your skin is sensitive.
• Post: avoid direct sun for 24 hours and use sunscreen; you can resume makeup immediately if desired. The treatment is safe and requires virtually no downtime.

Benefits

• Instant hydration and glow.
• Deep pore cleansing with minimal irritation.
• Customizable serums address aging, hyperpigmentation, and acne.
