What is a HydraFacial MD treatment, and how does it work?

HydraFacial MD is a medical-grade facial treatment using patented Vortex-Fusion technology to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, extract impurities, and infuse skin with hydrating serums. It’s highly effective for acne, dullness, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone.

Is HydraFacial MD suitable for all skin types?

Yes, anyone looking to correct acne, impurities, or dull skin can benefit from HydraFacial MD. It’s suitable for nearly all skin types, including sensitive skin.

How often should I schedule HydraFacial MD treatments for optimal results?

For best results, we recommend a HydraFacial MD treatment every 4 to 6 weeks. Regular sessions help maintain healthy, clear, and youthful-looking skin.

What immediate improvements can I expect after a HydraFacial MD session?

Immediately after your HydraFacial MD treatment, you’ll notice improved skin texture, enhanced hydration, reduced pore size, brighter skin tone, and a clearer complexion. Results continue to improve with regular treatments.

Does HydraFacial MD hurt, and is there downtime?

HydraFacial MD treatments are comfortable, gentle, and pain-free. There is no downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately after your appointment.

Are there any specific post-treatment care instructions following a HydraFacial MD?

HydraFacial MD requires minimal aftercare. We recommend avoiding harsh skincare products, excessive sun exposure, and heavy makeup for 24 hours post-treatment to maximize your results.

Can I combine HydraFacial MD with other treatments?

Yes, HydraFacial MD pairs well with many other aesthetic treatments, such as Botox, dermal fillers, or microneedling. Consult with our estheticians to design a personalized treatment plan that meets your skincare goals.

Are there any conditions or allergies that would make HydraFacial MD unsuitable for me?

HydraFacial MD might not be suitable if you have active rashes, sunburn, severe rosacea, or allergies to shellfish (as some serums contain shellfish derivatives). Inform your esthetician of any allergies or sensitivities before treatment.

Who should not receive a HydraFacial MD treatment?

You should avoid HydraFacial MD if you have severe acne breakouts, open wounds, severe eczema, active infections, or if you’ve recently undergone laser treatments or chemical peels. Consult our team to determine your suitability.

Is HydraFacial MD safe during pregnancy?

HydraFacial MD treatments are generally safe during pregnancy; however, certain steps or serums might be adjusted or omitted. Please inform your esthetician if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, so we can customize your treatment safely.

"I've been coming to this spa for years! The service is top-notch and affordable for the working woman. And let me tell you, I work hard for my money, and this always feels like a needed treat! My favorite service here, and I've explored a few, is, hands down, the Hydrafacial! How does this machine do all of the things I need? This is the facial to treat yourself with if you're off to a big conference, presenting to a major client or partner, or heading to vacay or an LA event. There's no downtime needed, and you wake up glowing. I got this treatment before major presentations in multiple states, and it kept me glowing through travel (ugh!) and eating out for a week. You can thank me later!"

"Went there yesterday and had the hydra facial...and woke up to amazing skin. My provider upset me by not telling me that there were red marks on my face from the microdermabrasion wand... However this morning those marks have greatly disappeared and my skin is silky smooth. ALSO, I called them and they offered free light stim but i didn't take it because the redness has faded a lot and it's not necessary. I found them to be caring of my concern though which meant a lot. My skin looks improved with a perfectly soft smooth texture. Also, what I like about this place is you can meet with someone and come up with a plan for your skin. i found them easy to talk to and not trying to sell you on things you don't need. I got tretinoin while there and i think the plan we came up with will really improve my skin texture - wrinkles is what i mean.... i am definitely going to keep up that plan with them. Retina a plus microdermabrasion monthly. You can also get vitamin shots and iv drips there... i think that's fabulous. there are a lot of resources there and i find the pricing very fair. i recommend it I would look at the reviews to pick the provider though."

"I came here to fix my face - for some reason I had a terrible terrible breakout all over this year. Most likely stress and hormonal, but in any case, CMS took care of me and I did a few rounds cortisone shots and hydra facials. I've never gotten a hydra facial done before, and this was perfect for decongesting and resetting my skin that was super freaked out. Amazing service, very reasonably priced."
