A HydraFacial is a non-invasive 3-in-1 procedure that deep-cleans, exfoliates and hydrates your skin. The HydraFacial is also sometimes called “Hydradermabrasion” because it involves microdermabrasion-like exfoliation paired with hydrating serums.
HydraFacial Procedure in detail
Step 1: During a HydraFacial treatment, the skin is first exfoliated and cleansed with a small tool, followed by a gentle acid peel to remove any remaining debris in the pores.
Step 2: Your skin pores then undergo a painless extraction process.
Step 3: Finally, to complete the HydraFacial treatment, the skin is nourished with an antioxidant-rich serum.
The HydraFacial treatment usually take about 45 minutes to complete and doesn’t require any downtime. After just one treatment, many patients report seeing visible skin refinement. It is totally painless.

9. What difference should I expect to see after the HydraFacial?
Many clients report seeing visible skin refinement and an even, radiant skin tone after just one treatment. The smooth results and hydration may last 5 to 7 days or even longer but one treatment per month is recommended for improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, oily and congested skin. Continued HydraFacial treatments are highly recommended to maintain skin health results.
10. How you can differentiate between a genuine HydraFacial provider & a fake one!
Beware of the increasing number of providers offering fake HydraFacials that can irrecoverably damage your skin. Look at the machine logo: If it looks strange for example: HydroFacial instead of HydraFacial MD, you probably looking at a fake or it’s a completely different service. Some illegitimate facilities sometimes use a microdermabrasion or traditional facial in place of a HydraFacial MD machine.
