What is a Hydrofacial?

The Hydrofacial is a non-invasive treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection in one powerful session. Using patented vortex technology, it gently removes impurities while simultaneously infusing skin with customized serums tailored to your specific concerns. The result? Immediately plump, clear, hydrated skin with no discomfort or downtime.

At Radiance at Fluhme, we can customize your Hydrofacial with add-ons like dermaplaning, peels, or LED therapy for enhanced results.

How Does A Hydrofacial Work?

The Hydrofacial uses a unique vortex suction system to provide the ultimate skin resurfacing experience in four simple steps:

Step 1: Cleanse + Peel

A gentle exfoliating solution is applied to remove dead skin cells and reveal a fresh layer of skin underneath.

Step 2: Extract + Hydrate

Painless vortex suction opens pores and removes debris, blackheads, and impurities while simultaneously delivering intense hydration.

Step 3: Fuse + Protect

Targeted serums customized to your skin concerns—such as brightening, anti-aging, or clarifying—are infused deep into the skin using the vortex technology.

Step 4: Enhance (Optional)

Add LED light therapy, oxygen infusion, dermaplaning, or other boosters to amplify your results and address specific concerns.

Pre-Care Instructions

General Pre-Care:

Avoid Sun Exposure
Avoid direct sun exposure for 1 week prior to treatment. Always wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+.
Stop Active Ingredients
Discontinue use of tretinoin, retinol, glycolic acid, and salicylic acid 3-7 days before treatment as directed.
No Waxing
Avoid waxing or chemical depilatories for 2 weeks prior to treatment to prevent skin sensitivity.
Clean Skin
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. No moisturizers, serums, or oils on treatment day.
Inform Provider
If you've had other skin treatments in the past month (chemical peels, laser, microneedling), inform your provider beforehand to ensure adequate spacing.

Post-Care Instruction

General Post-Care:

Gentle Skincare
Use gentle, non-irritating products for 24-48 hours. Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, or harsh actives immediately after treatment.
Moisturize and Hydrate
Keep skin well-moisturized and drink plenty of water to maintain hydration and prolong results.
Sun Protection
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily. Skin is more sensitive to UV after treatment, so sun protection is essential.
Avoid Heat
Skip saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, and intense exercise for 24 hours to prevent irritation and maintain results.
No Makeup (If Possible)
Avoid makeup for at least 6-12 hours after treatment if possible to let skin breathe and fully absorb serums.
Don't Touch Face
Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands to prevent introducing bacteria to freshly cleansed pores.

Hydrofacial FAQ'S

What are the benefits of a Hydrofacial?

The Hydrofacial removes impurities, unclogs pores, and extracts blackheads without damaging or irritating your skin. Simultaneously, it delivers customized serums deep into the skin using vortex infusion technology. Benefits include improved skin tone and texture, reduced fine lines, minimized pore appearance, intense hydration, and an immediate healthy glow. The treatment can be personalized with different serums to address your unique concerns—whether that's acne, aging, pigmentation, or sensitivity.

Who is the ideal candidate for the Hydrofacial?

It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It's ideal for anyone looking to improve their skin's overall health, clarity, and hydration. Whether you're dealing with acne, fine lines, dryness, congestion, or just want to maintain healthy, glowing skin, the Hydrofacial can be customized to meet your needs. It's also a great choice for those new to aesthetic treatments since it's gentle, non-invasive, and requires no downtime.

Will I need more than one Hydrofacial?

While you'll see immediate results after just one treatment, the best outcomes come from a series of Hydrofacials. For optimal skin health and maintenance, we recommend treatments every 4 weeks. If you're addressing specific concerns like acne or hyperpigmentation, a series of 3-6 treatments may be needed initially, followed by monthly maintenance. During your consultation, we'll create a personalized treatment plan based on your skin goals.

Is there pain or downtime associated with the Hydrofacial?

No, the Hydrofacial is completely painless and requires zero downtime. You may feel a gentle suction sensation during extraction, but most patients find the treatment relaxing and soothing. Your skin may appear slightly flushed immediately after treatment, but this typically subsides within an hour. You can return to work, apply makeup, and resume all normal activities right away. It's often called a "lunchtime facial" because it's so quick and convenient.

Can I get a Hydrofacial if I have sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Absolutely! The Hydrofacial is one of the best treatments for sensitive and acne-prone skin because it's gentle, non-irritating, and deeply purifying. The vortex extraction removes congestion without aggressive manual extractions that can cause trauma. We can customize your treatment with calming, anti-inflammatory serums specifically designed for sensitive or acne-prone skin. The treatment helps reduce breakouts, calm redness, and improve overall skin health without causing irritation.
