General Safety:
Hydrafacial has been proven to be effective safety.
Pregnancy:
Being pregnant is a contraindication to a HydraFacial but you can have the treatment while breast feeding if your pediatrician approves. Some of the ingredients, such as salicylic acid, haven’t been approved to use during pregnancy. You can have other medical extractions or skin treatments while pregnant, but it is best to wait until after delivery for most cosmetic treatments.

The HydraFacial is a medical-grade skin resurfacing device that consists of a three part regimen designed to cleanse and detox the skin, exfoliate dead skin cells, intensely hydrate the skin, and provide overall facial rejuvenation.
Step 1 – Cleansing
The skin is cleansed and dead skin cells are removed using the HydraFacial MD Active-4-cleanser™. This unique cleanser is formulated with non-irritating ingredients which cleans the skin while simultaneously hydrating it. The Active-4 serum is able to clean the skin more intensely, and remove dead skin cells, in a way that a typical face wash just can’t do.
Chemical Peel – depending on your skin type and skin concerns, different strength chemical peels can be selected and customized for your treatment. Most patients choose a gentle salicylic acid and glycolic acid peel, to help delicately exfoliate the skin. Stronger peels can be chosen to treat wrinkles and extensive sun damage.
Step 2 – Exfoliating
The second step of the cleansing process is often compared to microdermabrasion where the dead skin cells are removed. Exfoliation is performed using a vortex suction with a specially designed tip. This type of exfoliation is much more powerful than typical extractions, and will remove congestion from your skin and tighten your pores.
Step 3 – Infusing skin with intensive serums
The final stage of the HydraFacial focuses on hydrating the skin with unique skin care serums and moisturizers. Once your pores have been completely cleaned, your skin is infused with custom designed antioxidants and hydrating serums, which leave your skin glowing and bright with immediate results. By infusing antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid into your skin, your skin is rejuvenated and nourished of all of these essential ingredients.
HydraFacial is an all-round rejuvenation treatment which treats a number of specific skin concerns and is suitable for all different skin types. For those looking for visible skin refinement and rejuvenation, HydraFacial will help your skin look healthier and brighter. By cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing the skin, you will see an immediate improvement, with absolutely no downtime.
BOOSTERS:
There are a number of different add-ons or boosters that can be applied alongside the treatment. We can customize your HydraFacial treatment, to address your specific skin concerns. Skin Ceuticals and ZO Skin Health both have designed targeted boosters to enhance the HydraFacial with the infusion stage of the treatment.

Right After: You should be glowing & hydrated. You may experience a little redness, but that should go away in less than 30 minutes. Try to stay away from makeup for the rest of the day and avoid excessive sun exposure (wear that SPF). There’s no downtime or recovery associated with a HydraFacial MD procedure, so you’ll see the benefits of this amazing technique instantly. Final results typically appear after a week.
30 days after: With monthly treatments, you'll start to notice a real difference in your skin. Exfoliating the skin every 30 days, helps to reveal the new healthy skin beneath the surface revealing a brighter complexion.
