The easy answer is that you can have HydraFacial CT treatments about once a month, or once every 4 weeks. This is the general frequency that is most compatible for most people and that can generate the best skin-boosting benefits.
While this may vary from person to person, you can expect the results of your HydraFacial to last for at least 7 days. In many cases, those results will last much longer. If you do notice that the results of your facial have started to fade, you can always have an additional treatment to maintain those results.
It can take several weeks for your skin to recover from this type of treatment and your skin should not be peeling when you come in for your HydraFacial session.
Do not wax or use depilatories for at least 48 hours after the treatment. Don't use any medium or deep chemical peels or laser treatments for at least two weeks after your facial treatment. Don't use any exfoliating treatments, like glycolic acid or enzymes, for at least 48 hours after the treatment.
A HydraFacial includes 4 facial treatments rolled into one session: cleansing and exfoliating, a gentle chemical peel, vacuum suction extraction, and a hydrating serum. These steps are delivered using a patented HydraFacial device (which looks like a large rolling cart with hoses and a wand with detachable heads).
It combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection simultaneously, resulting in clearer, more beautiful skin with no discomfort or downtime. HydraFacial™ targets fine lines and wrinkles, congested and enlarged pores, oily or acne-prone skin, hyperpigmentation, and brown spots.
HydraFacial will give you instant and visible results that you can see and feel after each treatment. This patented technology follows a six-step treatment process – Detox, Cleanse and Exfoliation, Brightening, Extraction, Hydration and finally Rejuvenation.
You should not wash your face for about six hours after your treatment. You should also avoid taking a shower or engaging in intense exercise that will cause you to sweat. Keeping your face dry during this time will protect your skin and allow you to receive optimal results.
No Reason to Wait!
HydraFacial produces visible improvement after just one treatment, and if you schedule regular sessions (we recommend monthly), your skin will continue to improve. Just remember to avoid waxing for at least 48 hours afterward!
Refrain from waxing and using depilatories. You should also refrain from any type of exfoliating treatments, like those containing active enzymes or glycolic acids. Finally, do not use any topical product containing tretinoin, such as Retin-A, for at least 48 hours before your treatment session.
After a HydraFacial, which typically takes just 30 minutes or less, some redness may occur. This is often the only side effect of a HydraFacial and is typically mild and resolves quickly on its own. If desired, patients can apply makeup after HydraFacial treatment to conceal any redness.
Hydrafacials are a much more thorough and extensive skin care treatment than chemical peels, with the added benefit of the hydration serum on your skin. Both products exfoliate and give your skin a gentle peel.
HydraFacial takes less than one hour to complete and the effects are visible for about one week. You will immediately see results after your first session, but more than one session can be beneficial. For long term skin health, we recommend including treatment as part of your monthly skincare routine.
For the most results, this hydrafacial includes the face, neck and décolleté; choice of one booster (CTGF, Brightenol or Dermabuilder), lymphatic drainage to detox and reduce inflammation, LED lights for oily congestion and also has anti-aging properties.
How to Improve Longevity between Treatments? HydraFacial aims to hydrate the skin. Remaining properly hydrated between treatments allows the outcomes to sustain for a more extended period. Patients should drink at least the recommended eight glasses of water daily to experience improvement in their skin.
Yes, there is no doubt that the benefits of Hydrafacial Treatment are well worth the cost. On average, HydraFacial costs between $150 and $300. While this seems a little on the high side, it is a small price to pay for such an investment in your skin.
The HydraFacial is said to help improve overall skin texture, tone, and appearance. This is due to the deep exfoliation that cleans your pores, removing debris and allowing for better penetration of face serums tailored to your skin type.
How often should you get a hydrafacial? We strongly recommend that you come in for a HydraFacial solutions every two weeks. During your initial consultation, we will assess your skin type and skin quality as well as review your personal aesthetic goals.
For the best and most lasting results, we recommend patients get a series of 4 to 6 HydraFacials and space them 2 to 4 weeks apart.
It's not exactly painful, but most patients do report that it's uncomfortable. Many of the same benefits provided by microneedling can be achieved with a HydraFacial, with the exception of eviscerating scars. And, as you know, this treatment poses no risk for pain.
