No. HydraFacial is a non-invasive and pain-free treatment. Most clients describe the experience as a cool, gentle vacuum sensation across the skin. There is no discomfort, no need for numbing, and no post-treatment irritation. It’s suitable even for sensitive skin types and is often referred to as a “lunchtime facial” due to its relaxing nature and zero downtime.

It is recommended to avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment to allow the skin to fully absorb the serums and to prevent any potential irritation or pore blockage. However, if needed, mineral-based makeup may be applied the next day. Your skin will appear noticeably smoother and more radiant, often reducing the desire to apply makeup.

Yes, HydraFacial is highly effective for oily, congested, and acne-prone skin. The combination of deep cleansing, salicylic acid infusion, and painless vacuum extraction helps to clear clogged pores, reduce blackheads and whiteheads, and balance sebum production. While it does not treat active cystic acne medically, it can significantly improve skin clarity and prevent future breakouts when performed regularly.

Results are visible immediately after just one session—you’ll notice cleaner pores, a more even skin tone, and a dewy glow. Full benefits, such as improved hydration and skin texture, typically continue to improve over the next few days. For long-term improvements in tone, texture, and breakouts, a series of treatments is recommended.

For optimal skin health and maintenance, we suggest once every 4–6 weeks. Clients with specific concerns such as acne, pigmentation, or dehydration may benefit from a tailored treatment plan that includes more frequent sessions in the initial phase. Your skin therapist will advise on a schedule based on your skin goals and current condition.

Yes—HydraFacial is an ideal pre-event treatment. Because there is no redness, flaking, or downtime, it can be performed 1–2 days before a special occasion to enhance glow, smoothness, and hydration. It's a popular choice before weddings, photo shoots, or travel.

HydraFacial requires no downtime, and you can return to work or daily activities immediately. However, for the best results, we recommend:

• Avoiding intense sun exposure and exercise for 24 hours
• Using a high-quality broad-spectrum SPF daily
• Avoiding active skincare ingredients (like retinol, AHA/BHA) for 48 hours unless otherwise advised

Absolutely. HydraFacial pairs well with LED light therapy, skin boosters, and laser-based treatments, depending on your skin condition. It’s often used as part of a larger skin health protocol. A consultation with our therapist can help you plan a custom treatment pathway safely.
