HydroFacial Information

HydroFacial Treatment

HydroFacial is a popular treatment that will leave your skin radiant, glowing and refreshed. Many clients enjoy the satisfying feel of cleaning & hydration while vacuuming of the skin. HydroFacial can help improve the effects of damage caused from the natural aging process and the environment.

This non-invasive treatment combines a multi-step treatment. My HydroFacial machine is equipped with a Skin Analysis screening that is performed first and suggests a treatment protocol just for you while it stores your treatment profile.

This treatment simultaneously cleanses and exfoliates to extract impurities and dead skin cells while irrigating vital nutrients into to your skin. The process will improve the structure of your skin by stimulating collagen and elastin proteins for more plump, hydrated and healthier looking skin.

** If you currently have "peach fuzz" (Vellus hair) on your face, it is important to first have a Dermaplaning session, before you receive any initial essential Facial service or any Treatments such as HydroFacial, Microdermabrasion, Peels or Needling so that the product ingredients used can penetrate your skin better without being blocked by Vellus hair and dead skin.

Additional Notes . . .

For some clients, HydroFacial can be tolerated more than Microdermabrasion, Peels and Needling, especially if silicone tips are used.
