Dr. Dhara Patel offers our cosmetic dental care patients the opportunity to refresh and rejuvenate their skin with a non-invasive treatment option. Hydrafacial is a unique facial treatment that gives your skin a smoother, more radiant appearance in about 30 minutes. Its unique ability to penetrate the outer layers of the skin enables patients to improve tone and texture without the side effects of more invasive treatment options.
What Is Hydrafacial?
Hydrafacial uses a handheld device that works like a vacuum, opening pores and allowing moisturizing nutrients to be absorbed deep into the skin. The ingredients used to treat your skin through the Hydrafacial device are personalized to your unique needs and skin condition.
The Hydrafacial wand will deeply open, cleanse, and exfoliate your skin’s pores during treatment. The wand’s gentle suction will remove dead skin cells and other impurities under the surface layer of your skin, providing a thorough cleanse. This improves the health of your skin and enables a deeper penetration of your nourishing skin treatment ingredients.
In addition to a personalized formula of deep cleansers and moisturizers, Hydrafacial also offers Boosters that can be added to your treatment. Boosters are specifically designed to address a range of common cosmetic concerns, such as fine lines and wrinkles, loss of volume, and the appearance of dark spots on the skin. Dr. Patel will evaluate your skin, discuss your cosmetic goals, and make a personalized recommendation for your treatment.
Why Choose Hydrafacial?
HydraFacial is one of the most popular skincare treatments in the world — and for good reason. It gives you clean, glowing, and refreshed skin in under an hour. Whether you want to reduce fine lines, unclog your pores, or give your skin a boost, HydraFacial delivers real results fast.
1. Gentle and Comfortable
Unlike some facials that can feel rough or irritating, HydraFacial is gentle. It uses a soft suction tip that glides smoothly over your skin. There are no needles, harsh chemicals, or painful extractions. Most people say it feels like a cool paintbrush moving across their face. You can relax and enjoy the process while knowing your skin is getting a deep clean.
2. No Downtime
One of the biggest benefits of HydraFacial is that there’s no downtime. Your skin may look slightly pink right after your session, but the pinkness will disappear quickly. Most people return to school, work, or daily activities right after the treatment. You don’t have to worry about peeling, redness, or hiding your face for days. Your skin looks fresh and healthy right away.
3. Safe for All Skin Types
HydraFacial is safe and effective for all skin types and tones. Whether you have oily skin, dry skin, sensitive skin, or acne-prone skin, this treatment can help. It’s gentle enough for people with rosacea or redness but strong enough to clean out clogged pores and help fight breakouts. Our skincare team can even adjust the treatment based on your unique needs.
4. Deep Cleansing and Exfoliation
Your skin collects dirt, oil, and dead skin cells daily. If these stay on your skin, they can clog pores and cause dullness or acne. HydraFacial removes these impurities from the surface and deep inside your pores. The suction technology acts like a vacuum, gently pulling out blackheads, whiteheads, and trapped debris. You’ll feel the difference right away.
5. Powerful Hydration
After cleaning your skin, HydraFacial infuses it with moisture. The final step of the treatment uses special serums filled with antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and peptides. These ingredients boost hydration, improve skin texture, and give your face a smooth, dewy finish. This is the perfect fix if your skin feels dry, flaky, or tight.
6. Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
HydraFacial doesn’t just clean your skin—it also improves how it looks over time. With regular treatments, you may notice fewer fine lines and wrinkles. The hydrating serums plump the skin, and the exfoliation helps new skin cells grow. This gives your face a brighter, smoother appearance and youthful glow.
7. Boosts Confidence
When your skin looks better, you feel better. Many people report feeling more confident after just one HydraFacial session. Clear, glowing skin can boost your mood and help you feel great during special events, important meetings, or everyday life.
8. Customizable for Your Skin
Every person’s skin is different, and HydraFacial can be personalized just for you. We can adjust the suction strength, choose different serums, and target specific concerns like acne, dark spots, or aging. Whether you want a one-time refresh or a long-term skincare plan, it’s got you covered.
Who Should Get a Hydrafacial?
Almost anyone can benefit from a HydraFacial. It’s great for:
- People with dull or tired-looking skin – The treatment brings back a youthful glow.
- Those with acne or blackheads – It clears clogged pores and reduces breakouts.
- Individuals with dry skin – The intense hydration leaves skin soft and supple.
- People with aging concerns – Fine lines and wrinkles appear less noticeable.
- Anyone preparing for a big event – Since there’s no downtime, it’s perfect before weddings, photoshoots, or parties.
The only people who should avoid HydraFacials are those with active rashes, sunburns, or severe rosacea.
Hydrafacial FAQs
Our dentist office offers Hydrafacial treatment to complement your beautiful smile. Learn more below.
How long does Hydrafacial treatment take?
A standard HydraFacial session typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Because it is a quick and efficient treatment with no downtime, many people schedule it during a lunch break or before an event. Despite its short duration, the treatment is highly effective, providing deep exfoliation, extraction, and hydration in one session. The session may take slightly longer if additional boosters or specialized treatments are added.
Is Hydrafacial painful?
No, HydraFacial is a painless and comfortable treatment. The suction and exfoliation may feel like a light vacuum massage on the skin but do not cause discomfort. Unlike extractions in traditional facials, which can be painful, HydraFacial uses gentle suction to remove impurities without irritation. Many people find the treatment relaxing and enjoyable.
Is there any downtime after a Hydrafacial?
No, one of the biggest advantages of HydraFacial is that there is no downtime. Unlike other facial treatments that may cause redness or peeling, you can resume normal activities immediately after the session. Some individuals may experience slight pinkness, but it typically fades within an hour. Many people even get a HydraFacial right before special occasions for an instant glow.
How often should I get a Hydrafacial?
For optimal results, it is recommended to get a HydraFacial every four to six weeks. Regular treatments help maintain skin health by keeping pores clear, boosting hydration, and stimulating collagen production. If you have specific skin concerns, such as acne or hyperpigmentation, your provider may initially suggest a more frequent schedule. Consistency is key to achieving and maintaining a clear, radiant complexion.
If I have sensitive skin, am I a candidate for Hydrafacial?
HydraFacial is safe for sensitive skin because it is gentle and non-irritating. The treatment can be customized to reduce exfoliation intensity, and soothing serums can prevent irritation. Unlike traditional facials that may include harsh extractions or aggressive exfoliation, HydraFacial delivers hydration and nutrients without aggravating the skin. However, discussing skin sensitivities with your provider before treatment is always best.
What makes Hydrafacial different from normal facials?
Unlike a traditional facial, HydraFacial uses advanced technology to cleanse, extract, and hydrate the skin more effectively. Traditional facials often rely on manual extractions, which can be painful and irritating, while HydraFacial uses a gentle vortex suction system. Additionally, HydraFacial delivers medical-grade serums deep into the skin for long-lasting hydration and rejuvenation. The treatment is also customizable, making it more versatile than standard facials.
