What is Hydrafacial?
Hydrafacial is a non-invasive, transformative skin treatment designed to give you the best skin of your life. Using patented technology, it deeply cleanses, extracts, and hydrates the skin. The treatment can be further customized with personalized boosters, LED light therapy, and lymphatic drainage to target specific skin concerns. The results are immediate, pain-free, and glowing, with no downtime, boosting your confidence.

Why is this treatment good for my skin?
Hydration is the key to healthy, radiant skin, and dehydration can lead to irritation, which accelerates signs of aging. Hydrafacial is designed to hydrate your skin without causing irritation, making it an ideal treatment to rejuvenate your complexion.

Am I a candidate for this treatment?
Hydrafacial is suitable for all skin types, tones, ages, and genders. Even the most sensitive skin can comfortably undergo a Hydrafacial treatment. Your skincare professional will select the right treatment serums and customize the session based on your unique skin needs. To get started, consult with your physician or skincare professional for a personalized skin evaluation and sensitivity test.

How long does the treatment take? Is there any downtime or pain involved?
HydraFacial treatments are quick and efficient, with sessions lasting around 30 minutes, offering immediate and lasting results. The procedure is entirely pain-free, with no downtime required, allowing you to get back to your daily routine right away.

What results can I expect? How many treatments are needed?
Many clients notice visible improvements in their skin, including a more even, radiant complexion, after just one session. The smoothness and hydration can last anywhere from 5 to 7 days or even longer. For optimal results, we recommend one treatment per month to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, and oily or congested skin. Regular HydraFacial treatments are essential for maintaining healthy, glowing skin.
