What It Does

HydraFacial uses a patented vortex-fusion technology to simultaneously cleanse, exfoliate, extract debris from pores, and infuse the skin with hydrating serums, antioxidants, and peptides. It is suitable for all skin types and may be customized with booster serums to address specific concerns.

How It Works

The HydraFacial device uses a spiral-tipped wand to create a vortex effect that simultaneously dislodges and extracts impurities while delivering hydrating and active-ingredient solutions. The multi-step protocol moves through cleansing, exfoliation (with lactic and salicylic acids), pore extraction, and serum infusion.
