Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a Good Candidate for Hydrafacial™?
This treatment is ideal for individuals who:

- Want to maintain healthy, glowing skin year-round
What is a Hydrafacial™?
Hydrafacial™ is a multi-step facial that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection in one treatment. It uses vortex technology to remove impurities while infusing the skin with customized serums for deep nourishment. This non-invasive treatment targets multiple skin concerns like dullness, congestion, dryness, and uneven texture in a single session.
Unlike traditional facials, it’s customizable based on your skin’s needs, making it effective for both prevention and correction. Hydrafacial™ is gentle yet powerful, leaving the skin instantly refreshed and glowing without discomfort. It’s suitable for all ages and can be a part of your regular skincare routine or done before special events.
How long do results last?
Results typically last 7–14 days, with regular treatments helping to maintain long-term skin health and hydration. Immediately after the treatment, skin appears plumper, smoother, and more radiant. As your skin naturally sheds and is exposed to environmental stressors, the glow begins to fade, which is why consistency is key.
With monthly sessions, you can see cumulative benefits like fewer breakouts, improved tone, and reduced fine lines. A proper at-home routine with quality skincare products can also help prolong your results. We recommend booking maintenance treatments every four weeks to keep your skin in top condition.
Is the treatment safe?
Yes, Hydrafacial™ is a safe, non-invasive treatment that is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It’s designed to be gentle, with no harsh exfoliants or irritating ingredients. The customizable nature of the treatment allows it to address specific skin concerns without triggering inflammation or sensitivity.
Even those with rosacea or acne-prone skin can benefit from Hydrafacial™ with the right adjustments. Each step is performed using medical-grade, sterile tips to ensure a hygienic experience. Before your session, we’ll assess your skin to tailor the treatment safely and effectively.
Can I combine Hydrafacial™ with other treatments?
Yes, Hydrafacial™ pairs well with treatments like microneedling, chemical peels, and laser therapy to enhance overall skin health and results. When used before or after these procedures, it helps prep the skin for better absorption or soothe and hydrate during recovery. It’s commonly used before big events or in medical-grade skincare plans to amplify the effectiveness of more aggressive treatments.
For example, combining Hydrafacial™ with LED therapy or dermaplaning can further boost clarity and tone. Our team can build a customized treatment plan that layers Hydrafacial™ with other therapies for optimal, safe results. Always consult your provider about the best sequence and timing for combination treatments.
When will I see results?
Results are immediate, with skin appearing more radiant, smooth, and hydrated right after the session. Many clients leave with a visible glow and improved skin texture after just one treatment. Hydrafacial™ is known for its “glass skin” effect, making it a popular pre-event facial. Over time, with repeated treatments, clients notice reduced pore size, less congestion, and a more even skin tone.
The hydration benefits also help with plumping fine lines and reducing dullness. While one session delivers noticeable improvement, regular treatments maximize and maintain the results long-term.
Are there any side effects?
Hydrafacial™ has no downtime, but some clients may experience mild redness, which typically subsides within a few hours. The treatment is designed to be gentle and non-irritating, making it a go-to option for clients who want effective results without recovery time. Rarely, sensitive skin types may feel a slight tingling or tightness post-treatment, which usually resolves on its own.
There’s no peeling, bruising, or discomfort like with more aggressive procedures. Aftercare is simple avoid direct sun exposure and heavy makeup for 24 hours to let your skin fully absorb the serums. Our team will provide personalized post-treatment tips for best results.
How often should I get a Hydrafacial™?
For optimal skin health, monthly Hydrafacial™ treatments are recommended to maintain hydration, clear pores, and improve skin texture. Regular treatments help control oil production, reduce acne flare-ups, and combat early signs of aging. Depending on your skin goals, we might recommend more frequent sessions initially, then space them out once results stabilize.
For clients dealing with active acne, pigmentation, or dullness, bi-weekly treatments can offer faster progress. Hydrafacial™ also pairs well with seasonal maintenance—adjusting the frequency during summer or winter months as your skin’s needs change. We’ll help you build a treatment schedule that fits both your skin and your lifestyle.
