What Is a HydraFacial?

The HydraFacial is a multi-step treatment for removing dirt, oil, debris, makeup, and toxins from the complexion and then boosting the skin’s resilience with customized nutrients. It helps to revive tired, dull facial contours that are prone to sagging and wrinkles and hydrates the skin to create a more youthful, glowing appearance. The HydraFacial employs several unique steps that are seamlessly performed together during your session to achieve flawless results:

  • Cleansing and exfoliation – The skin’s surface is first cleansed with the HydraFacial patented tool. During the process, the outermost skin layer, made up of dead cells, debris, and dirt, is removed. The process is gentle yet effective.
  • A mild chemical peel – Glycolic acid and salicylic acid are used to gently exfoliate the skin, removing blackheads, bacteria, and oil from the depths of the pores.
  • Extracting the pores – Utilizing a patented Vortex-Fusion device, the HydraFacial is able to strip the skin of its impurities. Powerful suctioning is performed without damage to the healthy skin cells. Patients are able to see the immediate effects of their treatment by looking at the collected impurities in the cup attached to the vacuum.
  • Nourishing the skin with vital nutrients – As the final step, your skin is infused with a customized serum. The formulation includes antioxidants, peptides, collagen, and other nutrients and is engineered to promote skin hydration and elasticity. Clients walk away feeling refreshed and invigorated.

What Should I Do After My HydraFacial?

After a HydraFacial, patients may experience some minor redness or tightness in the skin. These side effects fade quickly and are not typically severe enough to prevent the client from returning to work or school after their session. However, certain things to avoid after your treatment are outlined below.

  • Steer clear of sun exposure and tanning beds for 72 hours after a HydraFacial.
  • The morning after your HydraFacial, don’t use over-the-counter cleansing products. Only use the PCA Facial Wash or HydroPeptide Exfoliating Cleanser.
  • Use the HydroPeptide SPF 30 sunscreen daily for 3-5 days after your session.
  • Avoid topical Retin-A for the first 48 hours.
  • Avoid waxing the skin for 48 hours.
  • Avoid medium to deep chemical peels and laser therapies for 2 weeks after a HydraFacial.
  • Avoid over-the-counter acne medications for the first 48 hours.
  • Don’t use makeup for the first 24 hours.
