HydraFacial — Clinic Care

What is HydraFacial?

A non-invasive skin care facial that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration in one session

Uses water suction to remove pore impurities and infuse serums, delivering instant glow and moisture.

Overview & characteristics

HydraFacial is known as a non-invasive skincare facial that progresses through sequential stages of cleansing, exfoliation, impurity extraction, and serum infusion. Its mechanism is described as a vortex-suction approach using water and a mildly acidic solution to gently clear sebum and dead skin cells from within pores — which is why it tends to be chosen when oiliness or dullness is a concern.

How to manage

It is known to be relatively gentle and is often incorporated as a routine maintenance session performed at regular intervals. Selecting a serum booster suited to one's skin type is advisable, and immediately after the session it is recommended to focus on soothing and moisturizing while avoiding strong exfoliating products on the same day. Consulting a dermatologist is recommended when skin concerns are severe or recurring.

Good to know alongside

It is discussed alongside exfoliation, pore care, and pre-session skin preparation, and is compared to aqua peeling and deep cleansing concepts.

Everyday care tips

For one to two days after the session, it is advisable to temporarily pause the use of retinol or high-concentration acid products, and to pay extra attention to sun protection and hydration.
