HydraFacial is a non-invasive treatment that improves skin health, addresses individual concerns, and creates a glow like no other. Unlike traditional facials, it’s performed via device rather than by hand, for deeper penetration and longer lasting results. Why is HydraFacial different than other facials? The magic is in the wand, which works like a vacuum to open pores for a deep cleanse and easy extraction of impurities and dead skin cells. It also allows the active ingredients in our boosters to penetrate deeper, for the most effective treatment possible. Boosters are potent formulas packed with active ingredients that target and treat specific concerns. There is a large variety of boosters to choose from to customize your treatment.

Your skin may experience temporary irritation, tightness, or redness. These are all normal reactions that typically resolve within 72 hours depending on skin sensitivity. Most people do not experience any issues. You may experience tingling and stinging during the treatment area. These sensations generally subside within three hours of treatment. As with most procedures, client experiences may vary. Some people may experience a delayed onset of the previously mentioned symptoms. Contact us immediately if any unusual side effects occur or if symptoms worsen over time.What should I avoid after treatment?
Avoid anything that raises your body temperature, such as hot showers, sauna, steam rooms, and exercise for the first few hours after treatment. The treatment area is more susceptible to sunburn, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation. Avoid direct sun exposure and use a minimum of SPF 40 sunscreen. Aggressive exfoliation, waxing, Retin-A type products, and products containing acids should be avoided in the treatment area for at least 5 days post-treatment.

Many people report seeing visible skin refinement and an even, radiant skin tone after just one treatment. One treatment per month is recommended for improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne, and oily skin.
