Procedure Overview: A Video Showing Hydrafacial At Our Clinic

Hydrafacial is a non-invasive, multi-step process. The treatment begins with cleansing and exfoliation using a small wand to remove dead skin cells and oil buildup. Next, a mild acid peel gently unclogs pores without causing irritation. The final step uses the Hydrafacial device to infuse your skin with hydrating serums rich in antioxidants and peptides. The result? Instantly refreshed, plump, and radiant skin. Most clients feel a gentle suction during the process, but the treatment is relaxing and pain-free. You’ll notice your best results immediately after and over the following days as your skin continues to glow.

HydraFacial preparation and aftercare timeline

3 to 7 Days Before - Preparation

Discontinue Retinoids and Exfoliants: Avoid using retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, and exfoliating treatments to reduce skin sensitivity.
Avoid Waxing, Threading, or Laser Treatments: Do not use hair removal treatments on the treatment area to prevent irritation.
Hydrate Your Skin: Use a hydrating moisturizer like Vivier LEXXEL Moisturizing Cream or CeraVe Moisturizing Cream to prepare your skin.
Minimize Sun Exposure: Avoid excessive sun exposure and use broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50), such as EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46.
Stop Topical Acne Treatments: Products like benzoyl peroxide or strong acne medications can cause dryness and should be discontinued a few days before treatment.
Avoid Smoking and Alcohol: These can dehydrate the skin and interfere with healing and results.

Treatment Day - What to Expect

Arrive with a Clean Face: Avoid wearing makeup or applying any skincare products before your appointment.
Consultation: The practitioner will assess your skin and customize the HydraFacial serums based on your concerns (e.g., hydration, acne, anti-aging).
The Procedure: The HydraFacial will involve a 3-step process:
1. Cleansing and Exfoliation – Removes dead skin cells.
2. Acid Peel Application – Gently exfoliates and loosens impurities.
3. Hydration and Serum Infusion – Antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid are delivered into the skin for nourishment.
Painless Procedure: You may feel a light suction and cool, soothing sensations. There is no downtime afterward.
Optional LED Light Therapy: Some HydraFacials include LED light therapy to target specific skin concerns (e.g., red light for inflammation, blue light for acne).

3 to 7 Days After - Immediate Recovery and Care

Avoid Exfoliants and Retinoids: Refrain from using retinoids, acids, or scrubs for the first 2-3 days.
Use a Gentle Cleanser: Stick to mild products such as Vivier HEXAM Gentle Cleanser or Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser.
Hydrate Frequently: Apply a hydrating serum or cream regularly. Options include Vivier GrenzCine Serum or Hyaluronic Acid Serum for extra moisture.
Sunscreen is Essential: Since your skin is more sensitive, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen like Vivier Sheer SPF 45.
Avoid Heat and Sweat: For the first 24 hours, avoid hot showers, saunas, and vigorous exercise to prevent irritation.
Avoid Makeup for 24 Hours: Allow your skin time to absorb the nourishing serums from the HydraFacial.

7 to 14 Days - Ongoing Recovery and Results Management

Maintain Your Skincare Routine: Continue with a hydrating cleanser and moisturizer to support your results.
Antioxidant Boost: Use a serum with antioxidants, such as Vivier C E Peptides, to protect your skin from free radical damage.
Monitor for Skin Improvements: Your skin will appear smoother and more radiant. If you notice any issues, consult your practitioner.

3 to 6 Months - Long-Term Care and Maintenance

Schedule Regular HydraFacials: For optimal results, consider treatments every 4-6 weeks, especially if targeting acne, dullness, or uneven tone.
Stick to Healthy Skin Habits: Maintain your hydrating routine and sunscreen use daily.
Introduce Active Ingredients Slowly: After about a week, you can reintroduce retinoids and exfoliants gradually to maintain long-term improvements.
Monitor Skin Progress: If you are treating a specific concern (like pigmentation or fine lines), follow up with your provider to discuss additional treatments, such as microneedling or laser therapies.

The Benefits of Regular Hydrafacials

Incorporating Hydrafacial treatments into your skincare routine can prevent common skin issues, such as clogged pores, dullness, and hyperpigmentation. With consistent treatments, you’ll notice smoother texture, more even tone, and a reduction in fine lines. Hydrafacial also enhances product absorption, making your at-home skincare regimen more effective.

Tailoring Hydrafacial Treatments to Your Skin Needs

Hydrafacial can be customized with boosters to target specific skin concerns, such as Vitamin C for brightening or hyaluronic acid for deeper hydration. If you’re dealing with acne, the treatment can include salicylic acid to reduce breakouts. This flexibility ensures that every session is tailored to meet your current skin needs, whether you’re focusing on anti-aging or hydration.

Hydrafacial for Special Occasions: Prepare to Glow

Planning for an upcoming wedding, photo shoot, or vacation? Hydrafacial is an excellent choice to achieve glowing skin just in time for your event. With no downtime, you can have the treatment the day before your event and still look your best. For optimal results, consider booking a series of sessions leading up to the big day.

Hydrafacial and Complementary Treatments

To maximize the benefits of Hydrafacial, consider combining it with other treatments like microneedling or chemical peels. Pairing Hydrafacial with Botox or dermal fillers can enhance your overall appearance by smoothing out wrinkles and restoring volume. Our clinic offers personalized consultation services to help you design the perfect combination of treatments for your goals.

Boosters and Perks: Tailoring the Treatment to Your Needs

One of the standout features of Hydrafacial is its customizable boosters and perks, allowing each session to address specific skin concerns. These specialized serums enhance the treatment by delivering targeted ingredients for brighter, smoother, or calmer skin. Whether you’re dealing with fine lines, uneven skin tone, or dehydration, these boosters offer a tailored solution to maximize results.

Brightening Boosters: Formulated with Vitamin C or Alpha Arbutin, these help reduce hyperpigmentation, leaving the skin more radiant and even-toned.
Hydration Boosters: Packed with hyaluronic acid, these deeply replenish moisture, ideal for dry or aging skin.
Anti-Aging Boosters: Featuring peptides and antioxidants, these boosters smooth fine lines and boost collagen production, promoting firmer, youthful skin.
Clarifying Boosters: Perfect for acne-prone skin, these contain salicylic acid to reduce breakouts and control oil production.

Hydrafacial Perks go beyond the face to treat other areas. Popular perks include lip treatments to plump and hydrate the lips and eye perks to reduce puffiness and fine lines around the eyes. These add-ons ensure that every area of concern receives attention, leaving you with glowing, rejuvenated skin from head to toe.
