HydraFacial®: The Treatment for Glowing, Refreshed Skin

HydraFacial® is a medical-grade facial that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates in one streamlined session. Using vortex-powered tips and serum delivery, it supports skin detoxification, gently resurfaces without irritation, and infuses potent actives to address specific concerns like fine lines, discoloration, oiliness, and rough texture. Your treatment may also include LED light to calm redness, support collagen, and promote a clearer complexion. Results are immediate with no downtime, and the protocol is suitable for all skin types.

4 Steps to Luminous Skin with HydraFacial®

The HydraFacial MD® uses the advanced Vortex-Fusion® system to deliver a powerful 4-in-1 treatment that resurfaces, cleanses, and nourishes the skin, all without lasers or downtime.

How It Works:

  1. Cleanse & Exfoliate: The spiral HydroPeel® tip removes dead skin cells and opens pores.
  2. Gentle Peel: Salicylic and glycolic acids clear debris and refine pores.
  3. Extract: Painless suction lifts blackheads and impurities.
  4. Hydrate & Protect: Antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid restore, replenish, and defend against damage.

Each HydraFacial® can be customized to your skin’s unique needs, and the entire treatment takes about 30 minutes with immediate, glowing results.

What’s the Difference Between HydraFacial® and a Traditional Facial?

Traditional facials and HydraFacial® treatments both leave your skin feeling refreshed, but the experience and results are different. A traditional facial is focused on surface cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration. It’s relaxing and gives your skin a nice glow, but the improvements are usually short term.

HydraFacial® goes a step further by using advanced technology to deeply cleanse, gently exfoliate, extract impurities, and infuse your skin with nourishing serums. All of this is done in a single session.

The treatment can be customized to your unique needs and is especially effective for concerns like fine lines, large pores, acne, dark spots, and dryness. The result is skin that looks brighter, healthier, and more radiant with results that last longer.

Can HydraFacial® Be Combined With Other Treatments?

More HydraFacial® FAQs

Many people choose to make HydraFacial® part of their monthly self-care routine, almost like a reset button for their skin. Regular sessions help maintain long-term hydration, clarity, and smoothness, while also addressing specific concerns like acne, pigmentation, or fine lines. During your consultation, we’ll guide you toward the ideal schedule so your skin feels consistently fresh and healthy.

Yes, HydraFacial® is designed to be gentle yet effective, making it a favorite among patients with sensitive or easily irritated skin. Because the treatment can be customized with mild serums and boosters, we can safely nourish your skin without overwhelming it. Many people describe the experience as soothing, refreshing, and surprisingly comfortable.

Absolutely. By deeply cleansing and decongesting pores, HydraFacial® can help reduce excess oil and calm inflammation. When paired with acne-friendly boosters and optional blue LED light therapy, it targets the bacteria that cause breakouts while keeping skin hydrated and balanced. Patients struggling with stubborn blemishes often notice clearer, calmer skin after just a few sessions.

Most people notice a visible glow immediately after their treatment—the kind of healthy radiance that makes you want to skip makeup for the day. Skin feels smoother, pores look smaller, and hydration is noticeably improved. With regular treatments, these results compound over time, helping you maintain a brighter, healthier complexion month after month.

Yes, you can apply makeup right away, though many patients love how their skin looks so refreshed and luminous that they prefer to go without it. HydraFacial® is often booked right before events, vacations, or photos because of that instant “camera-ready” glow.

To give your skin the best chance to respond well, we recommend pausing products with retinoids or strong exfoliating acids for two to three days before and after your treatment. Afterward, sunscreen becomes your best friend, your skin will be more receptive to both hydration and environmental exposure, so daily protection is essential.

The hydrated, dewy look typically lasts about a week, though many patients say their skin continues to feel smoother and healthier beyond that. With monthly sessions, each treatment builds on the last, gradually improving tone, texture, and radiance in a way that feels natural and lasting.
