Hydrafacial™
Preparation & Aftercare Guide
-
Consultation:
Before your Hydrafacial, you may have a consultation with our skincare professional. They will assess your skin type and concerns, discuss your goals, and customize the treatment to fit your needs.
Pre-Treatment Preparation:
Generally, there’s not much preparation required. However, it’s advised to avoid any aggressive skin treatments like strong chemical peels or laser treatments for a week before your Hydrafacial.
Stay hydrated and use gentle skincare products in the days leading up to your appointment.
Make-Up and Skincare:
You can come to your appointment with or without makeup, as the first step of the Hydrafacial is a thorough cleansing.
-
Cleansing and Exfoliation:
The treatment begins with cleansing to remove makeup and impurities, followed by gentle exfoliation using a specialized device.
Pore Extraction:
The device uses suction to extract dirt and debris from the pores painlessly.
Hydration:
The final step involves infusing the skin with serums rich in antioxidants and peptides, tailored to your skin’s needs. This boosts hydration and supports overall skin health.
Duration:
The entire process typically takes about 45 -60 minutes, making it a quick and efficient treatment.
-
Immediate Results:
You’ll likely notice an immediate improvement in skin texture and appearance, often described as a fresh “glow.”
No Downtime:
One of the major benefits of a Hydrafacial is that there’s no downtime. You can return to your regular activities right after the treatment.
Post-Treatment Care:
While you can resume most of your routine, it’s advisable to use gentle skincare products and sunscreen. Your skin may be slightly more sensitive, so it’s wise to avoid direct sun exposure and heavy makeup for a day or two.
Results Longevity:
The dewy and refined appearance can last for a week or more, but regular monthly treatments may be recommended for ongoing benefits, especially if you’re targeting specific skin concerns.
