what you need to know before your appointment:

  • Treatment Time: 55-90 minutes 

  • HydraFacial is the only hydradermabrasion treatment that combines cleansing, extraction and hydration simultaneously, resulting in clearer, more beautiful skin with no downtime. The treatments are soothing, moisturizing, non-invasive and generally non-irritating. As with most treatments, visible results from HydraFacial will vary from person to person.

  • Your skin may experience temporary irritation, tightness, or redness. These are all normal reactions that typically resolve within 72 hours depending on skin sensitivity.

  • You may experience tingling and stinging during the treatment area. These sensations generally subside within three hours of treatment.

  • Client experience may vary. Some people may experience a delayed onset of the previously mentioned symptoms. Contact me immediately if any unusual side effects occur or if symptoms worsen over time.

pre-service instructions:

  • Do not exfoliate, or use glycolic acid or benzoyl peroxide products on your skin up to 48 hours before your visit.

  • Avoid tanning beds and outdoor sun exposure 1 week before your visit.

  • Make sure your Skin Care Questionnaire Form has been completed and is up to date, as it could impact your facial. (If you need verification that this is complete, feel free to shoot us an email!)

  • Do not receive Botox 48 hours prior or dermal fillers 7 days before your appointment.

  • No waxing, depilatory creams, or laser hair removal 1 week prior to any peel.

  • Discontinue the use of prescription Vitamin A Keratolytic drugs 7 days before treatment.

  • Be prepared to discuss your skin concerns and goals.

  • Come to your appointment with clean skin.

  • Men- do not shave the day of your facial.

  • Drink plenty of water and minimize alcohol consumption.

 
 

Post-service instructions:

  • The treatment area is more susceptible to sunburn, sun damage and hyperpigmentation. Avoid direct sun and exposure and use a minimum of SPF 40 sunscreen.

  • Aggressive exfoliation, waxing and products containing acids should be avoided in the treatment area for a minimum of two weeks pre- and post-treatment.

  • Avoid the use of Retin-A type products pre- and post-treatment.

  • You will likely see results immediately after treatment and your skin will feel smooth and hydrated for one to four weeks. For improved, longer lasting results, consider take-home products and monthly HydraFacial treatments.
