About This Treatment

What Is a Hydrabrasion Facial?

Hydrabrasion is a multi-step facial treatment that uses a specialized device to simultaneously cleanse, exfoliate, extract impurities, and hydrate the skin. Unlike traditional microdermabrasion which can be abrasive, hydrabrasion uses a gentle vortex suction combined with targeted serums to deliver a thorough yet comfortable treatment. The result is immediately visible: clearer, smoother, more radiant skin with improved tone and texture.

Also known as: HydraFacial, hydradermabrasion, aqua facial, water facial, deep cleansing facial, medical facial, vortex facial, glow facial, pore extraction facial, oxygen facial, red carpet facial

The Process

How Does It Work?

Cleanse & Exfoliate

A gentle vortex tip removes dead skin cells and surface debris, revealing fresh skin underneath.

Acid Peel

A gentle glycolic/salicylic acid blend loosens dirt and oil from pores without irritation.

Extraction

Painless vortex suction removes blackheads, whiteheads, and pore congestion - far more comfortable than manual extractions.

Hydration

Nourishing serums containing antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and peptides are infused deep into the skin.

Protection

LED light therapy and antioxidant protection are applied to maximize results and protect your refreshed skin.
