How HydraFacial Works
Cleanse & Exfoliate
Dead skin cells and excess sebum are gently removed using a vortex-like suction tip, revealing fresh skin underneath.
Acid Peel (Gentle)
A gentle blend of glycolic and salicylic acids loosens dirt and debris from pores without irritation or discomfort.
Extraction
Automated painless suction extracts blackheads, whiteheads, and impurities from pores — far more comfortable than manual extractions.
Hydration & Infusion
Antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid are infused deep into the skin, leaving it plump, glowing, and hydrated.
Protection
LED light therapy or a customized booster serum may be applied. Sunscreen is applied to protect your refreshed skin.
Benefits of HydraFacial
May temporarily change the appearance or feel of skin; response and recovery vary
Deeply cleanses and unclogs pores without painful extractions
Hydrates and nourishes skin with antioxidants and hyaluronic acid
Product and device suitability should be assessed for sensitive skin, allergies, active irritation, and other individual factors
Customizable with booster serums for specific concerns like dark spots or fine lines
