How Often Should You Get A HydraFacial® MD?

Continuing to grow in popularity, HydraFacial® MD treatments are gentle, effective, and treat a wide variety of skin issues. People love the glow they get from a HydraFacial®. Results last about a month, and many people choose to make HydraFacial® MD treatments a regular part of their skincare routine. 

Why Is a HydraFacial® Worth It?

HydraFacials offer immediate and visible results after just one session. This treatment deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin, making it an effective option for improving overall skin texture.

Many patients notice fewer wrinkles and increased skin hydration after the procedure. This helps give a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Unlike traditional facials, HydraFacials use advanced tools that achieve better outcomes with no recovery time. The treatment is gentle and works well for all skin types, including those with acne or sensitivity.

Patients often leave with brighter, clearer skin and an overall healthier glow.

How Does a HydraFacial® MD Work?

A HydraFacial® MD uses a three-step process unique to this treatment. While you may see other ads for “HydraFacial ” treatment, be aware that only the true “HydraFacial® MD” will achieve optimal results. HydraFacial® MD is only performed in the setting of a Medspa, using proprietary HydraFacial® devices in a medical setting. Medical spas are licensed to treat deeper into the skin than your average aesthetician in a day spa setting. This means when you get HydraFacial® MD, results can last a month as you are treated deep into the dermis.

Cleanse + Peel

During this step, your skin receives exfoliation to remove dull skin and a mild peel to refresh the skin’s surface and prepare it for the next step.

Extract + Hydrate

In this step, a vacuum-like wand applied to the skin pulls dirt, oil, and debris out of the pores to leave them looking smaller and tighter. At this point, the skin can accept all the benefits of the intense hydration applied to it. 

Fuse + Protect

In this stage, amino acids and peptides, along with specially selected serums, treat the skin to protect and care for it. Treatments can include anti-aging, skin brightening, or other formulas depending on the skin’s needs. 

Boosters and Add-Ons for Better Results

HydraFacial treatments can be enhanced with boosters and add-ons tailored to your skin’s needs. These concentrated serums target specific concerns like wrinkles, dark spots, or hydration.

For example, vitamin C boosters brighten the skin, while hyaluronic acid serums deliver intense hydration. Peptides can be used to smooth fine lines and improve skin elasticity.

Adding these extras during your session maximizes the results and addresses multiple skin issues in one treatment. It allows for a more comprehensive approach to skincare, making each session more effective.

These add-ons give patients the ability to focus on areas they want to improve most.

Customizing HydraFacial® Treatments

HydraFacial treatments can be customized to address specific skin concerns. Whether you’re dealing with hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, or acne, the treatment can be adjusted to meet your needs.

Different serums and boosters can be added during the session. These may include ingredients for skin brightening, anti-aging, or even extra hydration, depending on what your skin requires.

This flexibility allows patients to target their unique skin issues effectively. With each session, your skincare goals can be adjusted to ensure ongoing improvement.

As a result, the HydraFacial becomes more than just a general treatment—it becomes a personalized skincare solution.

REAL RESULTS

*Individual Results May Vary

How Often Should I Have a HydraFacial®?

Monthly treatments work well for most people wanting to maintain their HydraFacial® appearance. For people in the process of treating hyperpigmentation, lines, and wrinkles, or acne scarring, biweekly treatments can speed up progress while remaining gentle to the skin. 

Seasonal HydraFacial® Treatments

For patients unable to schedule monthly sessions, getting HydraFacials seasonally can still provide benefits. One treatment in the summer and one in the winter can help maintain skin health during seasonal changes.

During winter, HydraFacials combat dryness and flakiness caused by cold weather. In the summer, they help remove excess oil and impurities due to heat and humidity.

By scheduling treatments around the changing seasons, patients can keep their skin balanced and hydrated throughout the year.

This approach offers a practical solution for those with busy schedules or budget constraints.

Why Do You Need Time Between Treatments?

HydraFacials involve exfoliation and extraction, which require time for your skin to heal and regenerate between sessions. It’s recommended to wait about 4 weeks between treatments for most patients.

During this time, your skin forms new cells and absorbs the benefits from the previous session. Rushing into the next treatment too soon can prevent the skin from fully recovering.

For those with specific skin concerns, like acne or oily skin, more frequent treatments may be recommended. However, allowing adequate time between sessions helps ensure long-term improvements.

This balance keeps your skin looking refreshed without causing irritation.

Can a HydraFacial® Help with Acne or Oily Skin?

HydraFacials are particularly effective for patients with acne or oily skin. The treatment works by thoroughly cleansing the pores, removing dirt, oil, and bacteria that can lead to breakouts.

For those with oily skin, HydraFacials help regulate sebum production. This reduces shine and keeps the skin looking balanced.

Acne-prone patients can benefit from more frequent sessions, such as every two to three weeks. Regular treatments can help prevent future breakouts and keep the skin clear.

By consistently treating the skin, many patients see fewer blemishes and an overall reduction in acne flare-ups.

How Much Does a HydraFacial® Cost?

Costs for a HydraFacial® treatment can range from $199 to 300 on average, depending on your location, the provider’s experience and certifications, and other factors. For many people, a HydraFacial® serves as a  monthly pampering treatment to keep the skin looking luminous, vibrant, and clear. Costs also do not include extra treatments or serums applied during the treatment, so schedule a consultation to get a more accurate estimate. 

This estimate covers the full HydraFacial® MD treatment. If other providers offer their own version of a hydrafacial, costs may decrease significantly, but so will results. 

What Results Will I See From a HydraFacial® MD?

You will see glowing, hydrated results immediately after treatment. People with hyperpigmentation or fine lines and wrinkles will see these fade, especially after repeated treatments. People with congested skin or acne find that this treatment keeps pores clear, reduces acne breakouts, and keeps the skin calm and refreshed. 

How Long Do HydraFacial® Results Last?

HydraFacial results are typically noticeable right after treatment. Most patients experience glowing, hydrated skin for about four to six weeks.

The longevity of the results can vary based on individual skin type and routine. Regular skincare habits, like moisturizing and sun protection, help extend the effects.

For best outcomes, many patients schedule monthly HydraFacial sessions. This allows the skin to maintain its clear, refreshed appearance throughout the year.

The treatment is ideal for those looking for long-term improvement in skin tone, texture, and hydration.

Is There Any Downtime After a HydraFacial®?

Your face may look pink or red for half an hour to an hour after treatment. Your skin will look clearer, more hydrated, and more youthful right away, and you can go back to your regular activities. 

Am I a Good Candidate for a HydraFacial®?

This treatment works so gently that almost anyone can be a good candidate. People with acne will find this treatment beneficial, as will anyone wanting brighter, younger-looking skin.

HydraFacial® for Sensitive Skin

HydraFacials are gentle enough for patients with sensitive skin. The treatment avoids harsh scrubbing or aggressive chemicals, making it a safer option compared to other facials.

People with conditions like rosacea or easily irritated skin can still benefit from HydraFacials without worrying about flare-ups. The process hydrates and soothes the skin while removing impurities.

Serums used during the treatment can be adjusted to ensure they are safe for sensitive skin. This customization allows patients with delicate skin to enjoy the benefits without risking discomfort.

Overall, it’s a gentle yet effective way to improve skin health for those with sensitivity.
