The Short Answer

A medical facial is not a spa facial. Ours combine cleansing and extraction with active resurfacing and infusion, chosen for what your skin needs that month. HydraFacial handles congestion and instant glow, PDRN and biorevitalization treatments repair at a deeper level, and most clients run them on a four to six week rhythm.

Congestion, dullness, dehydration, texture, redness

Session Time

30 to 60 minutes

Downtime

None, mild pinkness at most

When To Book

2 to 3 days before an event

Rhythm

What Is HydraFacial?

HydraFacial uses patented Vortex-Fusion technology to cleanse, extract, and hydrate, delivering an instantly gratifying glow in three simple steps.

1. Cleanse + Peel

Uncover a new layer of skin with gentle exfoliation and relaxing resurfacing.

2. Extract + Hydrate

Remove debris from pores with painless suction and nourish with intense moisturizers.

3. Fuse + Protect

Saturate skin with antioxidants and peptides to maximize your glow.

Myth vs. Fact: Our Facials

Myth

“A facial is just pampering.”

Hover for the fact

Fact

Pampering is a side effect. Extraction clears what your cleanser cannot reach, controlled exfoliation accelerates cell turnover, and infusion delivers actives at concentrations home products cannot. The relaxation is real, but the change in your skin is measurable.

Myth

“One facial will fix my skin.”

Hover for the fact

Fact

One facial gives you a great week. Skin renews on a roughly month-long cycle, so lasting change in tone, congestion, and texture comes from four to six visits spaced across that rhythm, paired with the right products at home.

Myth

“I have sensitive skin, so facials are not for me.”

Hover for the fact

Fact

Sensitive skin is exactly why you want a professional assessing it. We dial back acids, skip aggressive extraction, and often use calming, barrier-repair protocols instead. Guessing at home is what usually causes the flare.

Myth

“I can get the same result with an at-home kit.”

Hover for the fact

Fact

Home devices and masks work on the surface. Medical-grade acid percentages, true vacuum extraction, and prescription-level infusions are not available over the counter, and used incorrectly they can damage your barrier.

Is Our Facials Right for You?

You may be a good candidate if

  • You want a visible improvement with no downtime
  • You have congestion, dullness, or dehydration
  • You have an event in the next few days
  • You want a maintenance rhythm rather than a one-off fix
  • You are not sure where to start and want a professional skin assessment

We may recommend something else if

  • You have an active cold sore or skin infection in the area
  • You have used isotretinoin in the last six months
  • You have a fresh sunburn or peeling sunburn
  • Your concern is deep lines or scarring, which needs laser or microneedling
  • You have had a chemical peel or laser treatment in the last two weeks

Pairs With

Microneedling, HydraFacial

Aftercare & Results Timeline

Right after

Skin looks plumper and brighter immediately, occasionally slightly pink. Makeup can go straight back on, though most clients enjoy skipping it for the evening.

Days 1 to 3

The glow peaks. This is why we recommend booking two to three days before a wedding, photo shoot, or event rather than the morning of.

Days 4 to 7

Any purging from extraction settles. If you were congested, this is when the skin looks genuinely clearer rather than just polished.

Weeks 2 to 4

The surface benefit fades gradually while the improvement in hydration and barrier function holds. This is the window where good home care matters most.

Every 4 to 6 weeks

Rebooking on your skin's own renewal cycle is what turns a nice afternoon into an actual change in tone and texture.

HydraFacial vs. Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion was the standard for resurfacing facials for two decades. HydraFacial does the same job and more, in one pass, which is why it is the facial we offer.

HydraFacial
Microdermabrasion
How it works
Vortex suction exfoliates, extracts, and infuses serums in a single pass
An abrasive tip or crystals sand the surface layer away
Hydration
Actives are delivered as part of the treatment
Exfoliation only, nothing is added back
Sensitive skin
Settings and serums adjust down easily
Abrasion can irritate reactive or rosacea-prone skin
Downtime
None, skin looks better immediately
Redness and flaking for a day or two

Looking for deeper resurfacing than either? See chemical peels or microneedling.

Often Paired With

Dermaplaning

Added before a facial, dermaplaning removes dead surface cells and fine hair so actives penetrate evenly. Our most requested pairing.

Chemical Peels

When you are ready to go deeper on tone and clarity than a facial can reach, a peel course is the next step.

Learn More

Microneedling

Facials work at the surface; microneedling rebuilds collagen underneath for texture and shallow scarring.
