Learn More About HydraFacial®

HydraFacial® is the perfect skin treatment for anyone looking to achieve healthy, more radiant skin. This multistep facial combines exfoliation, deep cleansing, and powerful serums to revive your skin. 

Because it involves microdermabrasion-like exfoliation, the HydraFacial® is sometimes referred to as hydradermabrasion. Microdermabrasion is a common acne treatment, and as a gentler alternative with additional hydrating benefits, HydraFacials® can also help reduce breakouts. HydraFacial® treatments may even improve rosacea.

The HydraFacial® process starts by gently cleansing and exfoliating the skin to get rid of any dead skin cells or makeup debris. The exfoliation is then followed by a glycolic and salicylic acid peel based on your skin type. Next, a vortex extraction nozzle is used to unclog pores effectively, as opposed to traditional facials, where the aesthetician performs manual extractions. The treatment finishes by infusing the skin with an antioxidant and collagen-rich serum to promote hydration.

Due to the gentle nature of the procedure, a HydraFacial® can be performed on even the most sensitive skin types. HydraFacials® are helpful to those with:

  • Dull, dry skin
  • Acne and scarring
  • Dark spots or brown spots
  • Fine lines
  • Large pores

HydraFacials® are extremely customizable. The handheld device has multiple attachment options depending on your goals and your skin condition. Your provider will also help you choose a unique serum with powerful ingredients based on your needs.

In addition to HydraFacials®, we offer a variety of other skin treatments, including popular facials like DiamondGlow®. Our board-certified dermatologists, Dr. Elizabeth Tanzi, Dr. Geeta Shah, or Dr. Tania Peters, can assess your skin and work with you to create a treatment plan that helps you look and feel your best.

HydraFacial® is a multi-step process. Using a handheld device with multiple customizable attachments, your Capital Laser provider will start by cleansing your skin and applying an exfoliating peel. Next, a vacuum-like tip on the device will clean out your pores, suctioning out blackheads and any other debris. Your skin will then be infused with a hydrating serum of peptides, antioxidants, growth factors, and more.

A HydraFacial® is painless and even enjoyable. You’ll simply relax while your skin is cleansed and pampered in this luxury spa treatment. Patients often choose to have another treatment during the same appointment, such as Botox® or dermal fillers.

Patients should expect to see noticeable improvements in their complexion immediately following treatment. Benefits of a HydraFacial® include:

  • Brighter, younger-looking skin
  • Smoother complexion
  • Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
  • Clearer skin with fewer breakouts
  • Reduced hyperpigmentation

You’ll enjoy increased hydration, softness, and a more even skin tone for a week or more after your HydraFacial®. Most patients see optimal results with a series of HydraFacials®, and we recommend regular treatments to maintain your brighter complexion. For longer-lasting results, our dermatologists can recommend other treatment options like microneedling, chemical peels, or laser treatments.

One of the benefits of gentle skin rejuvenation treatments like HydraFacials® is that they require no downtime. You can return to your normal routine immediately after treatment without any redness or skin irritation. For patients with extremely sensitive skin, your face may appear a little blotchy for a few hours after your facial. We typically recommend avoiding exfoliating your skin for a couple of days after a HydraFacial®.

Because it’s so gentle and customizable, a HydraFacial® is safe and effective for all skin types and tones. Even people with the most sensitive skin can benefit from HydraFacial®. However, you may not be an ideal candidate for this treatment if you have severe acne, an active rash, or are currently on Accutane.
