What Is a HydroGlow Facial?

The HydroGlow Facial is our signature water-based resurfacing treatment that combines deep cleansing, hydrodermabrasion exfoliation, painless extractions, and targeted serum infusion in one seamless session. Unlike traditional facials, the HydroGlow uses gentle suction and water pressure to remove buildup and infuse active ingredients simultaneously — leaving skin visibly cleaner, smoother, and more radiant immediately after.

We also offer standalone Microdermabrasion — a classic physical exfoliation treatment that buffs away dead skin cells, smooths texture, and brightens tone — available as its own service or as an add-on to any facial.

With three HydroGlow tiers (Signature, Deluxe, and Platinum) and a full custom facial menu, there's an option for every skin type, concern, and schedule — all with zero downtime.

How Does It Work?

The HydroGlow uses a multi-step approach that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and infuses in a single pass — all without the irritation of traditional manual extractions or harsh chemical peels.

Hydrodermabrasion

Water-based suction gently exfoliates the surface layer of skin while simultaneously loosening congestion in pores — more comfortable than traditional microdermabrasion.

Painless Extractions

The suction mechanism removes blackheads, whiteheads, and debris from pores without manual squeezing — reducing redness and post-extraction irritation.

Serum Infusion

Custom serums (hydrating, brightening, anti-aging, or acne-targeting) are infused directly into freshly exfoliated skin for maximum absorption and immediate results.

What to Expect — Pre & Post Treatment

Before Your Treatment

  • Arrive with clean skin — no heavy makeup or sunscreen if possible.
  • Avoid retinoids and exfoliating acids for 2–3 days before your appointment if your skin is sensitive.
  • Let your provider know about any active breakouts, skin sensitivities, or recent procedures.
  • No special preparation is required — HydroGlow facials are designed to be comfortable for all skin types.

After Your Treatment

  • Your skin may appear slightly flushed immediately after — this typically resolves within a few hours.
  • Apply SPF 30+ before going outdoors — freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to UV exposure.
  • Avoid heavy exercise, saunas, and steam rooms for 24 hours to let your skin settle.
  • You can return to your normal skincare routine the following day — your provider may recommend specific products to extend results.
  • For best results, schedule treatments every 2–4 weeks or as recommended by your provider.

Treatment Protocol

Sessions

Every 2–4 weeks recommended

Spacing

Monthly maintenance or as needed

HydroGlow facials are effective as a standalone treatment and as part of a regular skincare maintenance routine. They also pair beautifully with more intensive treatments like ResurFX, TriLift, or RF Microneedling as a prep or recovery step.

Results Timeline

Immediately After

Skin looks and feels cleaner, smoother, and more hydrated right away. A subtle glow is visible as soon as the treatment is complete.

24–48 Hours

Any mild flushing resolves and the full brightening effect becomes more apparent as skin settles.

With Regular Treatments

Consistent monthly treatments improve overall skin clarity, minimize pores, and maintain a healthy, radiant complexion over time.

Long-Term

Regular HydroGlow facials support skin health between more intensive procedures and help maintain results from laser, RF, and microneedling treatments.

Long-Term Maintenance

For ongoing skin health and maintenance, we recommend HydroGlow facials every 2–4 weeks. They're an excellent complement to any treatment series — ask your provider how to incorporate them into your personalized skincare plan.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Anyone wanting a deep-cleansing, hydrating facial with zero downtime
Patients with congested pores, blackheads, or dull skin
Those with dry, dehydrated, or uneven skin tone
Sensitive skin types who want effective exfoliation without irritation
Patients maintaining results between laser, RF, or microneedling treatments
Anyone looking for a relaxing, results-driven facial experience

This treatment may not be right if you:

  • Active, inflamed cystic acne covering large areas of the face (spot treatment may still be possible)
  • Open wounds, cuts, or active skin infections in the treatment area
  • Certain rosacea flare-ups — consult your provider before booking
  • Recent chemical peels or laser treatments — a waiting period may be required
