Hydrafacial M.D - Laser Skin Care

HydraFacial® Treatment

A superior hydrating infusion for your skin

The Hydrafacial MD is a non-invasive no-surgical procedure that improves the skin health and creates instant improvement in skin tone and texture.

How It Works

The next generation of Microdermabrasion

The HydraFacial® resurfacing procedure is the next generation of microdermabrasion – providing cleansing, exfoliation, extraction and hydration, including Vortex-Fusion® of antioxidants peptides and hyaluronic acid. A technologically-advanced, 3-stage treatment that thoroughly cares for your skin, this is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that delivers instant results without discomfort or downtime.

Benefits Include

The procedure is immediately effective and can benefit your skin in a number of ways, including enhanced skin tone and texture, as well as reduced appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation and oily acne prone skin.

It also enhances advanced treatments such as IPL rejuvenation, Fraxel treatments and other laser treatments.

• Exfoliation, extraction of impurities and hydration
• Deeper cleansing without downtime
• Increasing anti-oxidant and nutrient uptake to improve skin health
• Improving skin clarity and complexion
• Plumping and firming the skin

The Procedure

Hydrafacial treatment involves using light suction with skin enhancing serums for deep cleansing, exfoliation and extraction which will infuse the skin with antioxidants, glycolics and hyaluronic acid. This will leave the skin feeling moist, hydrated and smoother. There is minimal discomfort or irritation and no downtime. Patients can return to work straight after the treatment.

Post Treatment

Post Treatment

There may be some redness initially which settles very quickly. Some skins may feel slightly dry.

For the next 3 – 5 days following the treatment:

• Do not exfoliate and avoid skin products with exfoliating granules
• Do not use products containing AHA’s, BHA’s and Vitamin A
• Avoid waxing or using depilatory creams
• Avoid sun
• Avoid saunas, steam baths, chlorinated and salt water pools and vigorous exercise
• Do not expose the skin to direct sun
• Apply moisturiser and sun block

Hydrafacial can be used prior to any laser treatment to maximise the benefits of laser as it cleanses the skin and removes the barrier of dead skin cells.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Roaccutane treatment (must be ceased 6 months prior to hydrafacial) • Recent facial surgery • Open wounds, dermatitis, severe active rosacea • Active Herpes Simplex Virus (cold sores) • Active radiation treatment in cancer patients • Allergies to Salicylates or Lactic Acid • Recent laser treatment, injectables or waxing (last 1 - 2 weeks) • Sunburn • Pregnancy and breast feeding

Yes you can! We often use the Hydrafacial® technology as a synergistic treatment with some of our other medical skin treatments. For example, preparing the skin with a short course of weekly Hydrafacials® prior to procedures such as laser resurfacing will improve the health and hydration of the skin, enabling it to respond better to the laser treatment.

Although you will be able to see and feel a difference following your very first HydraFacial® treatment, we generally recommend a course of treatments every 1-4 weeks until you have achieved your desired results, and then a maintenance HydraFacial® treatment every 4-6 weeks.

Unfortunately, no, we do not recommend having HydraFacial treatments while pregnant.

The average HydraFacial takes around 30 minutes but if you will be scheduling a combined treatment, naturally, it will take longer. Overall, it is possible to schedule a HydraFacial over your lunch break.
