What it is

HydraFacial® is a non-invasive facial that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction and hydration in one treatment. It uses a vortex-based delivery system with specialized tips and gentle suction to help clean pores.

It works in three main stages: cleanse and peel to lift surface buildup, extract and hydrate while moisturizing solutions are applied, and fuse and protect with selected serums. Optional boosters can be added for specific concerns.

It suits women and men, whether you're getting ready for an event, clearing congested pores or keeping your skin looking healthy.

Frequently asked questions

Is HydraFacial® suitable for sensitive skin?

Many people with sensitive skin can have a modified treatment, with the products and exfoliation adjusted to their skin. Your provider will assess your skin first.

Does HydraFacial® hurt?

Most people find it comfortable. You may notice the suction and a mild exfoliating sensation.

Can it help with acne?

It may improve surface congestion, but it isn't a replacement for medical treatment of moderate or severe acne.

How often should I have one?

Many people schedule a treatment about once a month, but it depends on your skin's needs.

How is it different from a traditional facial?

HydraFacial® combines exfoliation, suction-assisted extraction and hydration in one treatment, using patented Vortex-Fusion® technology. A traditional facial relies more on manual cleansing, exfoliation and extractions.

Can it be combined with other treatments?

Yes. It can complement selected aesthetic treatments once your skin has recovered and the timing is right.

Will I see results after one treatment?

Many people notice smoother, brighter, more hydrated-looking skin right away. Results are temporary, and regular sessions help maintain them.

Is HydraFacial® for men too?

Yes. It can be personalized for both women and men.

Can I have one before a special event?

Yes. A single session can be a good way to refresh your skin before an event.

Can I have it during pregnancy?

Talk with your healthcare provider first. Some treatment solutions may need to be changed or avoided while you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
