What is a HydraFacial?

The HydraFacial™️ system is a patented four-step program that cleanses, extracts, and hydrates the skin using gentle suction, special skin surface tips, and a series of formulated fluids to address your specific skin needs. Many professionals have found it to be more effective than IPL, microdermabrasion, and chemical peels for maintaining healthy skin, while being painless with no downtime!

I like to say the HydraFacial™️ is to the standard facial what vacuuming is to sweeping. The HydraFacial™️ employs gentle suction and fluids, rather than abrasive chemicals, and manual extraction to provide you with great results. I chose to offer the patented HydraFacial™️ at my Medispa because I found it to be safe, comfortable, and effective. Generally, clients notice a brightness and youthfulness in their face after one treatment, though monthly sessions are recommended.

The standard HydraFacial™️ removes dead skin, painlessly removes debris from pores, nourishes the skin with moisturizers and then saturates the skin’s surface with antioxidants and peptides. Booster serums, red and blue LED lights, and even Lymphatic drainage can be added to the standard four-part Signature HydraFacial™️ to personalize and expand treatment results. HydraFacial™️ also partners with Dr. Obagi’s line, which is exclusively sold to physicians, to offer a series of ZO boosters that pair nicely with home care products. To minimize uneven skin tones and lighten brown spots, a ZO Brightalive booster can be added to the HydraFacial™️ further enhanced by the ZO Brightalive Skin Brightener for daily home use. To address and reduce fine lines and wrinkles, particularly those around the mouth and above the upper lip, a Connective Tissue Growth Factor booster can be added and paired with ZO Growth Factor Serum for daily home treatment.

For oily or acne-prone skin, two treatments with Beta-HD can help reduce congestion, especially when combined with Blue LED lights which kill surface bacteria. The combination, along with a good home care regimen, can treat the acne-prone face, which can, unfortunately, return with adult hormonal shifts. Adding lymphatic drainage to any of the listed protocols turns the HydraFacial™️ into a truly unique, relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Routine, comprehensive skincare and sun protection are vital to graceful, healthy aging.

Use your sunscreen regularly and consider a HydraFacial™️. You WILL see a difference.
