Frequently Asked Questions

What is a HydraFacial^TM ?

The HydraFacial^TM treatment is a new breakthrough in aesthetic technology. It takes its name from the root word Hydrate; "to cause to take up moisture". This ability to moisturize the skin separates the HydraFacial^TM from all other skin resurfacing procedures. The HydraFacial^TM treatment removes dead skin cells and extracts impurities while simultaneously bathing the new skin with cleansing, hydrating and moisturizing serums. The treatment is soothing, refreshing, non-irritating and immediately effective.

Why is HydraFacial^TM good for my skin?

Hydration is the foundation of healthy, radiant skin. Irritation of the skin has been proven to increase signs of aging. The HydraFacial^TM is a hydrating and non-irritating treatment.

Am I a candidate for this treatment?

The HydraFacial^TM treatment is designed for all skin types. Even the most sensitive skin easily tolerates the HydraFacial^TM treatment. Dr. Johnston and our aesthetician may choose specific treatment serums and/or customer the treatment for your unique skin conditions and needs. Our aesthetician will conduct a skin evaluation and sensitivity test to determine your treatment options as well.

How long does the treatment take? Is there any downtime or pain involved?

The HydraFacial^TM treatment is a fast, efficient treatment that takes as little as 30 minutes. The treatment is often described as a feeling like "a cool paintbrush moving over the face". You may put on make-up and return to your normal activities right after the treatment since there is no downtime.

What results may be expected? How many treatments are needed to see results? How long do the results last?

Many people report seeing visible skin refinement and an even, radiant skin tone after just one treatment. The smooth results and hydration may last 5 to 7 days or even longer. A series of 6 treatments are recommended for improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne and oily skin. After your first series of treatments, you may want to maintain your results with a HydraFacial^TM treatment every 2 to 4 weeks.

Why is the HydraFacial^TM better than Microdermabrasion? 

The HydraFacial is also known as "hydradermabrasion" is similar to microdermabrasion. Microdermabrasion used to be considered the most effective method of exfoliation and mild skin rejuvenation. However, microdermabrasion is not recommended for all skin types. People with sensitive or thin skin, Rosacea or ethnic skin are not candidates for microdermabrasion because of the potential reactions such as scaring, hyperpigmentation, and irritation. The HydraFacial^TM is a highly effective alternative to microdermabrasion, using the newest form of skin resurfacing technology that is non-invasive.
