What to expect from your first HydraFacial

A step-by-step of the 45 minutes that give you that lit-from-within glow.

You’ve seen the glow on someone and wondered what they had done. Odds are reasonable it was this. Here’s exactly what happens in the 45 minutes of a HydraFacial — no mystery, no marketing.

Step by step, minute by minute

First, cleansing and gentle enzymatic exfoliation lift away the dull surface layer. Next, a light glycolic-salicylic solution loosens debris in the pores — you’ll feel a mild tingle, nothing more. Then the signature vortex tip painlessly extracts blackheads and congestion (no squeezing, ever). Finally, the same device infuses hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and peptides deep into freshly exfoliated skin. We finish with SPF.

There is no downtime. No redness beyond a faint, brief flush; no peeling the next day. Makeup can go on within the hour if you need it to — although most people enjoy skipping it.

“It’s the one treatment we recommend before weddings, shoots and big events — the result is immediate and entirely yours.”

Making the glow last

Expect the radiance to peak for five to seven days and the deeper hydration to carry for weeks. Monthly sessions maintain it; a single session before an event delivers it on demand. Pair it with daily sunscreen and the results compound.

If you have active, inflamed acne or very reactive skin, tell us at booking — we adjust the protocol, or occasionally recommend a different starting point. That honesty is the whole point of a medical clinic.
