Hydrafacial

 To cleanse the skin, a water-based solution is whisked onto the skin, opening pores and removing the superficial layer of dead skin cells. After cleansing, a combination of water pressure, glycolic and salicylic acid exfoliates the skin. Then a vacuum-like tip gently suctions and removes stubborn debris and dead skin cells to unclog pores. Now that the skin is prepped and exfoliated, the following step infuses it with customized skincare products that target your specific skin concerns.

Next, your medical provider applies a highly customized chemical peel solution. Finally, a customized skincare serum rich in hydrating ingredients, antioxidants and peptides washes over the skin using the same handheld device. To achieve maximum results, SkinCeuticals professional add-ons or boosters, such as LED light therapy, can be added, enhancing the radiant glow of your complexion.

It is generally recommended to receive a HydraFacial once a month.

The HydraFacial is highly customizable. A medical provider evaluates your skin concerns to determine the most effective cocktail of serums and professional products to use. If you are noticing skincare concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, skin laxity, uneven texture and pore congestion, the HydraFacial may be an effective treatment for you.

Results are immediate! After your appointment, you will notice that your skin appears more firm, hydrated and smooth. The hydrating-rich products used help bring new nutrients to your skin cells, creating a healthy glow that’s visible for weeks.

Medical-grade facials address skin concerns on a deeper level because of the professional products used. Products may be prescription-strength and contain a higher concentration of active ingredients. In a medical setting, we also can enhance the treatment with medical-grade lasers and peels for optimum results.

If you are experiencing dry, aging skin, uneven skin texture or skin laxity, the HydraFacial may be an effective treatment.

In addition, we highly recommend the HydraFacial for men and women who are acne-prone or have high skin sensitivity. Unlike other manual exfoliation treatments, the HydraFacial uses water as the exfoliation medium to gently rid the skin of dead skin cells, revealing the freshly hydrated skin underneath.

If you need a deeper level of skin resurfacing, the HydraFacial may not be the best treatment option for you as it is on the gentler side of exfoliation treatments. You may be better suited for a laser treatment or chemical peel. Also, anyone who has a contact allergy to shellfish should avoid this treatment given one of the ingredients within the treatment regimen.

Like with all skincare treatments, a trained and licensed skincare professional a HydraFacial should administer a HydraFacial; training is required to properly analyze the skin, customize the treatment, and spot abnormal reactions. During a complimentary skin consultation, your medical provider will review the best skincare routine and treatment plan for optimal results.

Absolutely. That’s the beauty of this machine. Keep in mind you may experience some redness that should last no longer than 15 minutes. Refrain from applying makeup for 24 hours—let those serums do their work!

Best results are achieved by making HydraFacial a consistent part of your skincare routine. We recommend receiving this treatment once a month to maintain overall skin health.

No, this treatment is not painful—not even the extractions.

So sit back, and relax. If you have opted for a medical-grade peel or Microdermabrasion add-on you may experience mild discomfort.

Chances are your “regular” facial feels nice and all, but HydraFacial is in a category all its own. HydraFacial is an advanced treatment that’s geared toward delivering visible results and skin improvement via deep cleansing, exfoliation, extraction and intense hydration. It uses technology to get the job done.

Refrain from waxing and using depilatories. You should also refrain from any type of exfoliating treatments, like those containing active enzymes or glycolic acids. Finally, do not use any topical product containing tretinoin, such as Retin-A, for at least 48 hours before your treatment session.
