How to Prepare

Get the Best Results From Your Glow

To ensure you get the most out of your HydraFacial treatment, follow these simple pre-appointment guidelines:

⸻

Pre-Treatment Do’s & Don’ts

✅ Do:

  •   Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Well-hydrated skin responds better to treatment and enhances your glow.
  •   Let us know if you have any allergies, skin sensitivities, or medical conditions prior to your appointment.

🚫 Avoid 3–5 Days Prior:

  •   Retinol, Retin-A, tretinoin, or prescription acne medications (like Accutane).
  •   Exfoliating products (scrubs, glycolic/salicylic acid, enzymes, or peels).
  •   Facial waxing, laser treatments, or intense exfoliation.

🚫 Avoid 1 Week Prior:

  •   Direct sun exposure and tanning beds—your skin should not be sunburned or compromised for the HydraFacial.

🚫 Avoid 24 Hours Prior:

  •   Botox, fillers, or injectables—please schedule HydraFacial at least one week after any injectables.

⸻

Day of Your HydraFacial Appointment

  •   Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face.
  •   Wear comfortable clothing and be ready to relax!
  •   Share any concerns or goals with your provider so we can tailor your treatment.

Post-Care Guide

How to Care for Your Skin After Your Glow

What to Expect After Your HydraFacial:

  • Your skin will feel soft, smooth, and deeply hydrated immediately after your treatment.
  • Some clients may experience a healthy, pink glow that fades within a few hours.
  • Makeup applies beautifully after your HydraFacial, and your skin will continue to look fresh and radiant over the next few days.

⸻

Post-Treatment Do’s & Don’ts:

✅ Do:

  • Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily to protect your skin.
  • Keep your skin hydrated with a gentle, nourishing moisturizer.
  • Use a gentle cleanser for the first 24–48 hours.
  • Follow any product recommendations provided by your provider.
  • You can resume your regular workout routine the next day!

🚫 Avoid for 24–48 Hours:

  • Exfoliating products (scrubs, peels, acids, retinol).
  • Heavy makeup (let your skin breathe and glow).
  • Direct sun exposure and tanning beds.
  • Hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms.

⸻

When Should I Get My Next HydraFacial?

  • If you are actively breaking out or dealing with congestion, HydraFacial is recommended every 2 weeks to help clear and balance the skin.
  • For general skin health and maintenance, HydraFacial is best done every 4 weeks as part of your skincare routine.
