Unlike other cosmetic treatments, the HydraFacial isn't supposed to cause pain or redness. However, you should avoid this procedure if you have an active rash, such as one related to a rosacea flare.
The HydraFacial is good for pretty much anyone (***see below). Whether you have acne prone skin, super dry dehydrated skin, are trying to combat signs of aging, etc. One of my favorite things is that you get extractions without pain or redness.
Who is a good candidate? Anyone who wants to deep cleanse their skin or those who want to get rid of their wrinkles, brown spots, acne, oily skin, or enlarged pores is a good candidate for HydraFacial.
The good news is that the HydraFacial treatment is one of the safest facials for individuals with sensitive skin. There are no side effects after treatment, and little downtime is involved.
90% of patients who opt for HydraFacial or other similar treatments suffer from damaged skin that usually results from excessive sunlight exposure.
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.
Noted for its ability to fight the effects of aging, HydraFacials also work to smooth wrinkles and fine lines by boosting the production of collagen and elastin. These proteins keep the skin soft and supple.
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.
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.
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 treatment can be conducted on the same day as your skin consultation, provided there are no contraindications such as pregnancy, breastfeeding or other medications that you may be taking.
The HydraFacial isn't suitable for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

This popular medical-grade facial treatment uses a low concentration of salicylic acid, but at a level that would be considered safe to use both during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
A HydraFacial is highly effective at treating rosacea because it directly targets some of the worst symptoms of this skin condition, like facial redness, bumps, and enlarged pores.
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.
What makes a HydraFacial better than a regular facial? A lack of manual extraction makes this process gentler on the skin than most regular facials, with instant and long-lasting results that you can see and feel. You'll notice improved hydration, minimized dark spots, and even a decrease in fine lines.
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.
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.
A hydrafacial is one of the most powerful, non-invasive skin resurfacing treatments available today. It combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection that removes dead skin cells and impurities, while simultaneously delivering moisturizing serums into the skin.
Your skin may experience temporary irritation, tightness or redness after a HydraFacial. These are all normal reactions that typically resolve within 72 hours, depending on skin sensitivity. The skin is more susceptible to sunburn and sun damage after your HydraFacial treatment.
The salicylic acid actually is a decongestant. So it goes into the skin and it actually pulls out, unclogs the pores and pulls out whatever's in the skin. And because the Hydrafacial in general is a deep cleansing treatment, it's completely normal to have breakouts afterwards.
It is a classic, exfoliation-only procedure that treats as deep as a chemical peel without the same potential for sensitivities and irritation. HydraFacial is a more advanced, more gentle and more effective next generation of microdermabrasion.
Who Should Get the Hydrafacial? Everyone! One of the HydraFacial's biggest draws is that the treatment is suitable for virtually any age and skin type — save for a few exceptions.
