About HydraFacials
A Hydrafacial is like a facial, but better! It’s a 30-minute facial procedure that exfoliates dead skin cells, removes them, then fills your pores with serums containing naturally occurring proteins, peptides, and acids using a unique Vortex-Fusion® delivery system.
It’s this multi-step treatment that sets HydraFacial apart from the rest. It cleanses, evenly exfoliates, and extracts impurities and dead skin cells while at the same time replenishing vital nutrients including Antioxidants, Peptides and Hyaluronic Acid. Here’s what a typical procedure looks like:
- A device that looks like an electric toothbrush is used to open up your pores.
- Next comes a salicylic acid peel to de-clog your pores. This peel is much more gentle than a traditional chemical peel.
- Then a vortex-extraction nozzle, which looks and sounds like a vacuum, sucks the dirt and oil out of your pores.
- Finally, the vortex infusion tool fills the empty pores with revitalizing serums.

HydraFacial MD® Before and After


Hydrafacial FAQ’s
Are there any side effects of a HydraFacial?
The best part of HydraFacial MD® is the lack of post-session side effects. Some people experience redness and skin tightness for about an hour after the procedure, but those cases are rare. You can resume your normal skin routine immediately after you leave the med spa. Put on makeup without fear of irritation.
What should I expect during and ffter HydraFacial?
Before the treatment begins, the med spa professional tests your skin to see which blend of serums will yield the best results. The process itself is quite pleasant. People prefer Hydradermabrasion over traditional dermabrasion mostly because of how it feels.
There is no pinching and pulling. The vortex-extraction nozzle has a low suction that is more pleasant than painful. Many say it feels like a light massage. The serums cause a momentary tingle as they settle in your pores, but even those with sensitive skin report no burning.
HydraFacial vs Microdermabrasion
HydraFacial MD®, which is Hydradermabrasion, is a gentler microdermabrasion facial. Its main purpose is to hydrate the skin immediately after removing dead skin cells.
Your pores are first unclogged using a vacuum that sucks up the dirt and oil. Then, the patented Vortex-Fusion® serum delivery system fills your clean pores with serums that contain vital nutrients, antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. Different serums are used to treat different issues, such as age spots, acne, wrinkles, thin lies, and discoloration.
HydraFacial MD® is perfect for those who find microdermabrasion too painful or irritating. It works on ALL skin types.
Who should not use Hydrafacial?
The HydraFacial is appropriate for all skin tones, according to the company. But you should avoid a HydraFacial if you have an active rash, sunburn, or rosacea. Pregnant women should also skip it. Some of the ingredients used during the HydraFacial, such as salicylic acid, haven’t been tested and proven safe during pregnancy.
What results can I expect?
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. One treatment per month is recommended for improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, oil and congested skin.
