How does a HydraFacial work?
A HydraFacial treatment is a medical-grade facial that uses patented Vortex Technology to cleanse, exfoliate, and extract built-up dirt and debris from your pores. This treatment not only improves the appearance of your skin by enhancing its texture and tone but also delivers nourishing serums that hydrate and protect your skin. Suitable for all skin types, a HydraFacial can help with various concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, elasticity, firmness, evenness, and overall skin radiance, leaving you with a refreshed and rejuvenated complexion.
What Are The Benefits Of A HydraFacial Treatment?
HydraFacial treatments offer numerous benefits, addressing a wide range of skin concerns and providing comprehensive skin care in one session. HydraFacial is a gentle treatment that doesn’t involve needles or surgery, making it a comfortable experience with no downtime.

Are You a Candidate for a HydraFacial Treatment?
HydraFacials are a popular choice for anyone looking to improve the appearance and health of their skin. This versatile treatment is suitable for all skin types, including very sensitive skin, making it an ideal option for those with delicate or reactive complexions.

Our team will work with you to understand your unique skin concerns and recommend a personalized treatment plan.
Before a HydraFacial Treatment
To get the most out of your HydraFacial treatment, it’s important to follow the instructions provided by our Skin Technique specialists. Our team will give you simple guidelines to ensure your skin is perfectly prepped for the best results. Be sure to discuss any products or treatments you currently use, so we can tailor your HydraFacial experience and avoid any potential interactions.
What Are The Steps of a HydraFacial?
The HydraFacial treatment is an advanced, medical-grade facial that uses patented technology to cleanse, exfoliate, and infuse the skin with nourishing serums, redefining the traditional facial experience.
Step 1: Cleanse
The first step in the HydraFacial treatment involves using the HydraFacial device to remove dirt, oil, and environmental contaminants from the skin’s surface. This deep cleansing ensures a fresh base for the subsequent steps.
Step 2: Exfoliate
Next, the top layer of dead skin cells is gently exfoliated away. This process not only reveals a smoother, brighter complexion but also prepares the skin to absorb the nourishing infusions applied in the final step.
Step 3: Infuse
In the final step, our experienced technicians infuse your skin with tailored serums. These products are selected based on your skin type and specific goals, delivering essential nutrients directly into the skin for optimal results.
What to Expect After the Treatment?
After a HydraFacial treatment, your skin will look and feel refreshed, hydrated, and glowing. Immediate benefits include a smoother texture, reduced fine lines, and even skin tone. Your skin will feel soft, clean, and revitalized, with noticeable improvements in overall radiance. While some people may experience mild redness or tightness immediately after the treatment, these effects typically subside within a few hours. Resuming your normal activities right away is generally safe, as no downtime is required.
Are There Potential Risks for a HydraFacial Treatment?
HydraFacial treatments are considered safe for most skin types and concerns, but like any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks. Some individuals may experience temporary redness, swelling, or a slight tingling sensation during or after the treatment. Rarely, allergic reactions to the serums used during the procedure can occur. It is essential to discuss any known skin sensitivities or allergies with your provider before undergoing a HydraFacial. Additionally, while uncommon, those with active rashes, sunburns, or rosacea should rebook their treatment until your skin clears up.
How Long Does a HydraFacial Treatment Last?
Most people notice immediate results after their HydraFacial treatment, with their skin looking and feeling softer and more hydrated. While the effects are generally long-lasting, some clients return to Skin Technique for a HydraFacial every 4-6 weeks to maintain optimal results.
What Are the Main Recommendations and Recovery Time After a HydraFacial Treatment?
HydraFacial treatments are known for their minimal downtime, allowing you to immediately return to your regular activities. However, to maximize the benefits and ensure proper skin recovery, it’s recommended to follow these post-treatment guidelines:
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Limit direct sun exposure and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin.
- Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and to help flush out toxins.
- Gentle Skincare: For a few days after treatment, use gentle, hydrating skincare products and avoid harsh exfoliants or products with strong, active ingredients (e.g., retinoids and glycolic acid).
- Avoid Makeup: Avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours to allow your skin to breathe and absorb the benefits of the treatment.
- No Heat Exposure: For the first 24 hours, avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts that cause sweating, as heat can irritate your freshly treated skin.
How Long Does It Take to Recover from a HydraFacial Treatment?
There is no recovery time required after a HydraFacial treatment.
