Hydration Meets Innovation

What is a Hydrafacial?

Hydrafacial is an advanced facial treatment that uses gentle vortex-fusion technology and advanced serums to cleanse, extract, and deeply hydrate the skin. Our comprehensive Hydrafacial service encompasses a meticulous four-step beauty regimen. It commences with thorough cleansing, proceeds to gentle exfoliation and expert extraction, and concludes with skin-nourishing serum pore hydration. This exceptional treatment is incomplete without the precision of our cutting-edge pen-like device, which ensures Hydrafacial’s deep penetration into your skin.

Hydrafacial combines the results of a deep clean with the feel of a relaxing, spa treatment. At Sthetics, we enhance the experience with personalized care and options, including LED therapy or targeted boosters, depending on your skin’s unique needs.

It’s no wonder that Hydrafacial is one of our most requested services. It’s safe for all skin types, effective year-round, and perfect for when your skin needs a refresh. Whether you’re prepping for an event or just want that clean, healthy glow, this facial delivers. Unveil a beautiful, youthful radiance after a 60-minute session, and embrace the enduring glow you deserve.

How It Works

What is the Hydrafacial procedure like?

Hydrafacial is a comprehensive treatment that transforms your skin through a meticulous three-phase process:

Cleansing and Deep Exfoliation: An adept dermatologist or licensed aesthetician at Sthetics Med Spa utilizes a specialized wand featuring vortex-fusion technology. This wand clears oil and dirt deep in your pores, while a gentle peel exfoliates and resurfaces the skin.

Pore Debris Extraction: A vacuum-like attachment on the wand skillfully extracts debris from your pores, enhancing skin clarity and purity.

Youthful Glow Infusion: A pen-like device administers a moisturizing serum with potent antioxidants, elevating your skin’s radiance and youthful vibrancy.

Hydrafacials may be complemented by additional skincare treatments, such as light therapy or dermal fillers, tailored to each client's unique needs and preferences. This multifaceted approach ensures the best possible results for your skin.

Your Skin’s Favorite Facial

What conditions does the Hydrafacial address?

Hydrafacial is a versatile treatment that tackles a range of common skin concerns. It’s beneficial for dullness, clogged pores, fine lines, rough texture, uneven tone, and occasional breakouts. It’s also a favorite for clients who want to maintain healthy, balanced skin on an ongoing basis.

Anywhere You Need a Refresh

What areas of the body can a Hydrafacial address?

Most clients focus on the face, but we can also perform a Hydrafacial on the neck, chest, and back—anywhere your skin needs a refresh or a little extra attention. It’s especially useful before events or during seasons when your skin experiences more stress.

What are the benefits of a Hydrafacial?

Your provider will customize your Hydrafacial to your skin’s needs, selecting boosters and serums that support your goals. The real beauty of a Hydrafacial is in how your skin feels immediately after: clean, plump, and hydrated without redness or irritation. Over time, regular treatments can help improve your skin's clarity, smooth fine lines, minimize congestion, and maintain a radiant, even tone. It's the perfect balance of results and relaxation.

The benefits of a Hydrafacial include:

  • Deep Cleansing: Hydrafacial removes impurities and debris from the pores, promoting cleaner and healthier skin.
  • Hydration Enhancement: It effectively hydrates the skin, leaving it well-nourished and radiant.
  • Exfoliation: The treatment gently exfoliates dead skin cells, unveiling a fresh and youthful complexion.
  • Pore Extraction: Hydrafacial expertly removes congestion and impurities from the skin, leading to a smoother and clearer appearance.
  • Anti-Aging Properties: With its rejuvenating effects, Hydrafacial helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a more youthful look.

You’ll leave feeling hydrated, clear, and balanced — with skin that looks and feels renewed.

All Skin Types, All Seasons

Am I a candidate for a Hydrafacial?

Almost everyone can benefit from a Hydrafacial. This treatment is gentle enough for sensitive skin and effective enough for oily or acne-prone skin. It’s suitable for all ages, tones, and skin types. If you have active rashes, sunburn, or certain skin conditions, your provider may recommend waiting or adjusting the treatment, but most clients can benefit immediately.

Fresh-Faced and Back to Your Day

Hydrafacial Recovery

There’s no actual downtime after a Hydrafacial. Your skin may look slightly flushed for an hour or two, but you can return to normal activities the same day. We’ll recommend aftercare based on your skin and help you build a schedule that keeps you glowing between visits.

Everyone can enjoy the benefits of Hydrafacial. However, it is still best to consult your licensed dermatologist or clinician for sound medical advice. We prioritize your safety and comfort and will only recommend the right treatments for your skin type and goals.

The skin may look glowy and dewy after a Hydrafacial, but the treatment is not a one-time quick fix. You need to repeat the treatment to help the skin improve its appearance in the long run. It is best to get a Hydrafacial every four to six weeks.

Rest assured that Hydrafacial is comfortable and not painful. However, one may experience a slight pinkness to their skin for the first 24 hours. Hydrafacial offers no downtime at all.
