This information pack will provide you with everything you need to know about the HydraFacial, how it works, its benefits, and what to expect before and after your session. We’re excited to help you achieve glowing, healthy, and rejuvenated skin with this non-invasive, 3-step facial treatment!
What is HydraFacial?
The HydraFacial is a revolutionary multi-step facial treatment that uses advanced technology to cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and hydrate the skin. It combines medical-grade hydradermabrasion, chemical exfoliation, and hydration all in one. Unlike traditional facials, the HydraFacial is designed to provide deep cleansing and hydration while improving skin tone and texture in just one session, leaving your skin looking instantly refreshed and revitalized.
How HydraFacial Works
The HydraFacial treatment is divided into three main steps:
1. Cleansing and Exfoliation
The first step of the HydraFacial is to cleanse and exfoliate the skin using a gentle, non-abrasive tip. This removes dead skin cells and any build-up of dirt, oil, or makeup, helping to uncover a fresh layer of skin.
2. Acid Peel (Light Chemical Exfoliation)
The next step uses a gentle acid peel, typically a blend of glycolic acid and salicylic acid, to dissolve any remaining impurities and smooth the surface of the skin. This step is non-irritating and helps to brighten the skin while preparing it for deeper treatments.
3. Extraction and Hydration
The HydraFacial vortex-extraction nozzle is used to painlessly remove blackheads and impurities from the pores while simultaneously delivering a hydrating serum filled with powerful antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid to nourish and hydrate the skin.
The Benefits of HydraFacial
Deep Cleansing and Exfoliation
HydraFacial’s unique system gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and buildup while unclogging pores, resulting in cleaner, brighter skin.
Hydration
One of the key benefits of HydraFacial is its ability to deeply hydrate the skin with antioxidant-rich serums that help restore moisture and plumpness. It’s perfect for anyone with dry or dehydrated skin.
Improves Skin Texture and Tone
HydraFacial helps to refine skin texture and improve skin tone by removing impurities and promoting cell turnover. It’s excellent for reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
The treatment helps stimulate collagen production and delivers hyaluronic acid, which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving you with smoother, firmer skin.
Non-Invasive with No Downtime
HydraFacial is completely non-invasive, so there’s no downtime involved. You can resume your regular activities immediately after the treatment with no redness or irritation, making it perfect for a quick, lunch-hour facial.
Immediate Results
One of the best things about HydraFacial is that you will see immediate results after your first treatment. Your skin will look brighter, smoother, and more hydrated right away, with continued improvement over the next few days as collagen production increases.
Safe for All Skin Types
HydraFacial is safe and effective for all skin types, including sensitive skin, as it uses gentle exfoliation and soothing serums. Whether you have dry, oily, combination, or sensitive skin, HydraFacial can be customized to address your specific skin needs.
What to Expect During Your HydraFacial Treatment
Consultation and Skin Assessment
During your initial consultation, we will discuss your skin concerns and goals. Our practitioner will assess your skin type and customize the HydraFacial treatment to suit your unique needs.
The Treatment Process
Step 1: Cleansing and Exfoliation – A mild exfoliating solution will be applied to your face to remove dead skin cells and impurities, leaving your skin smooth and ready for the next step.
Step 2: Chemical Peel – A gentle acid peel will be applied to exfoliate the skin further, targeting any imperfections such as fine lines and clogged pores.
Step 3: Extraction – The HydraFacial device will use suction to remove dirt, oil, and blackheads from your pores, without any discomfort or irritation.
Step 4: Hydration and Serum Infusion – Finally, a customized hydrating serum will be applied to your skin, packed with antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate and nourish.
Duration of Treatment
The HydraFacial treatment typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated and any additional treatments you may opt for, such as LED light therapy or additional serums.
Painless and Comfortable
The treatment is pain-free and relaxing, often described as feeling like a gentle massage on the skin. There is no downtime or recovery required afterward.
Before Your HydraFacial Treatment
To ensure the best results, please follow these guidelines before your HydraFacial:
Avoid Sun Exposure
Try to avoid direct sun exposure or tanning for 1-2 weeks before your appointment. If you have been in the sun, please make sure your skin is not sunburned, as it may be too sensitive for the treatment.
No Active Skin Treatments
If you are using active ingredients such as retinol, retinoids, or accutane, please stop using them at least 3-5 days prior to your treatment to avoid irritation.
No Makeup
Please arrive with a clean, makeup-free face. This allows the HydraFacial machine to work most effectively and prevents any interference from skincare products.
Avoid Waxing
Refrain from waxing or using hair removal treatments on the face for 48 hours before your treatment to avoid skin irritation.
Aftercare for HydraFacial
Hydrate Your Skin
Drink plenty of water post-treatment to keep your skin hydrated and support the benefits of the treatment.
Avoid Sun Exposure
Your skin may be more sensitive to the sun immediately after the treatment, so be sure to wear a high SPF sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to protect your skin from sun damage.
No Makeup for 24 Hours
We recommend waiting 24 hours before applying makeup to allow the skin to fully absorb the serums and benefits of the treatment.
Gentle Skincare
Stick to gentle skincare products in the first 24 to 48 hours following your treatment. Avoid using harsh exfoliants, strong acids, or scrubs during this time.
How Many Treatments Will You Need?
While you will see visible improvements after just one HydraFacial, the results are cumulative, meaning multiple sessions will provide even better results. For optimal, long-lasting results, we recommend a series of 4 to 6 treatments, spaced 7 to 14 days apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 4 to 6 weeks to keep your skin glowing and healthy.
Results to Expect
Instant Results: After your HydraFacial, you will notice smoother, brighter, and more hydrated skin immediately.
Continued Improvement: As your skin produces new collagen, you’ll see ongoing improvements in skin texture, tone, and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
Long-Lasting Glow: The effects of HydraFacial last for several weeks, with maintenance treatments ensuring that your skin stays fresh and rejuvenated.
Additional Add-Ons to Enhance Your HydraFacial
We also offer additional treatments to enhance your HydraFacial experience:
LED Light Therapy: This treatment uses red or blue light to further rejuvenate the skin. Red light helps with anti-aging and collagen production, while blue light targets acne-causing bacteria for clearer skin.
