There is no universal, guaranteed recipe for beautiful skin. A healthy lifestyle and dedicated skin care routine can improve your complexion and prevent some aging signs but eventually a medical grade intervention will be needed to reverse the clock.
When DIY solutions fail, many people resort to Botox and dermal fillers – the most popular skin rejuvenation treatments. They are safe and effective in minimizing signs of aging, but they involve the use of needles, which is an obstacle for some people. Is there a solution for people who desire an entirely non-invasive treatment?
This article explains what HydraFacial is and how it can help you achieve and maintain smooth, radiant skin without injections.
What Is HydraFacial?
HydraFacial is patented technology that resembles a facial. It provides a 3-in-1 skincare treatment for deeply cleansed, hydrated, and rejuvenated skin. Results are instant and there is no downtime.
The HydraFacial treatment is typically performed by HydraFacial-certified medical providers, who customize the treatment by using different serums to treat the patient’s specific skin issues.
How Does HydraFacial Work?
The HydraFacial treatment consists of three parts:
- Cleansing and peeling. In this step, the medical provider uses the HydraFacial patented vacuum technology pen-like device with salicylic and glycolic acids to gently exfoliate the skin’s top layers.
- Extraction and hydration. In this step, the medical provider uses the device to suction out sebum, debris, blackheads, and other impurities from the pores and simultaneously deliver moisturizing serums to the skin.
- Nourishment and protection. The medical provider generously infuses the skin with HydraFacial super serums that include antioxidants, peptides, and other anti-aging ingredients.
Your provider may recommend additional treatments for superior rejuvenation effects. For example, the Vibrant Skin Bar uses LED light therapy in combination with HydraFacial to stimulate the skin cells’ healing process.

Is HydraFacial Treatment Safe for All Skin Types?
The manufacturers of HydraFacial guarantee the treatment is safe for all skin types.
If you have sensitive skin, you may experience short-lived redness after the treatment.
Your medical provider may recommend that you discontinue your regular skincare routine for a while to avoid skin irritation.
Does It Hurt?
The HydraFacial treatment isn’t painful. You may feel slight discomfort during the treatment because the vacuum-like device suctions impurities from deep within your skin.
How Many Treatments Do You Need?
The number of required treatments depends on your skin type and skin issue. Some medical providers recommend an initial set of four to six treatments spaced two weeks apart and occasional maintenance treatments.
The HydraFacial manufacturers suggest one treatment a month to reduce wrinkles, excess oils, brown spots, and maintain a rejuvenated look.
Who Should Avoid HydraFacial Treatment?
HydraFacial is safe for all skin types and most patients. If you have rashes, a sunburn, or rosacea, your medical provider will recommend waiting until your condition resolves to have the treatment.
HydraFacial is safe to do during pregnancy as long as your skincare provider knows how to omit a few ingredients used in the steps. At Vibrant Skin, we love to help patients maintain their glow throughout their pregnancy and HydraFacial is a great way to do just that.
How Much Does HydraFacial Cost?
The HydraFacial treatment cost depends on the location and expertise of your chosen medical provider.
The Vibrant Skin Bar skin experts offer a quick, half-hour HydraFacial Express for $175 and a powerful 60-minute HydraFacial with LED light therapy for $250.
