Hydrafacials

---

Hydrafacials are ideal for individuals of all skin types who want to enhance their skin health and address specific skin issues like dryness, aging, or acne.

While Hydrafacial is safe and effective for most people, some individuals may not be ideal candidates due to factors that could increase risks or impact results. Medical clearance may be required for certain conditions. Please consult with your healthcare provider if you are unsure. Precautions to consider:

• Patients who are undergoing treatment for skin cancer - consult with your healthcare provider.
• Accutane - must wait at least 6 months unless authorized by your healthcare provider.
• Compromised skin (dermatitis, sunburn, open wounds or sores, infection, severe rosacea or acne) in the treatment area.
• Individuals with a history of blood clots, bacterial/viral/fungus infection, heart, kidney, or liver failure should avoid lymphatic drainage.

You can usually see visible skin appearance and texture improvements immediately after a facial treatment, with results improving in the next few days.

They can last anywhere from a few weeks to a month. Regular sessions are recommended to maintain these benefits. Typically, every 4-6 weeks is recommended for maintenance, however Hydrafacials may be performed as frequently as every 2 weeks to address specific concerns. 

There is typically no downtime following a Hydrafacial. Following the treatment, some individuals may experience slight redness or sensitivity, which usually disappears within a few minutes or up to a few days.

The magic is in the wand which works like a vacuum to open pores for a deep cleanse. A blend of gentle acids is used to exfoliate and uncover a new layer of skin, while impurities are extracted from pores with painless gentle suction. Lastly, the skin is saturated with intense moisturizers and nourishing, powerful antioxidants.

• Avoid exfoliants and skin irritants (retinol, benzoyl peroxide or acne medications, topical medications, vitamin C if strong or acidic, hydroquinone, AHAs/BHAs, astringents, depilatories, waxing, shaving, etc.) in the treatment area for 24-72 hours prior to treatment.
• Avoid strong blood thinners for at least 3 days and corticosteroids for at least 7 days. Consult with your healthcare provider before discontinuing.
• Avoid facial injections, lasers, and other facial treatments for 1-2 weeks before receiving a Hydrafacial.

• Most people can return to their normal activities immediately, however, strenuous exercise, sweating, excessive heat, swimming, and sauna use should be limited for at least 24 hours.
• Avoid direct sun exposure, including tanning beds, for at least 48 hours following treatment. If sun exposure cannot be avoided, apply a broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) SPF 30+ to treatment area.
• Avoid exfoliants and skin irritants (retinol, benzoyl peroxide or acne medications, topical medications, vitamin C if strong or acidic, hydroquinone, AHAs, BHAs, astringents, depilatories, waxing, shaving, etc.)in the treatment area for at least 24-72 hours.
