Q. What is HydraFacial^TM?

A. HydraFacial^TM is the latest advancement in esthetic medicine. The HydraFacial^TM takes its name from hydrating the face. The HydraFacial^TM gets rid of dead skin cells and other impurities while simultaneously soaking the new skin with hydrating, cleansing and moisturizing serums. The treatment is calming, refreshing, non-irritating and you can feel and see the improvemnet before you leave our CosmeSurge Center.

Q. 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 the signs of aging. The HydraFacial^TM is a hydrating and non-irritating treatment.

Q. Am I a candidate for the HydraFacial^TM treatment?

The HydraFacial^TM treatment is designed for all skin types. Even the most sensitive skin easily tolerates the HydraFacial^TM treatment. Your esthetician may custom-blend the treatment serums for your unique skin conditions. Consult your esthetician for a skin evaluation and a sensitivity test.

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

A. The HydraFacial^TM treatment is a fast, efficient treatment that takes as little as 15 minutes. There is no discomfort during the procedure - it is often described as feeling like a “cool paintbrush moving slowly over the face”. You may put on make-up and return to your normal activities right after the treatment since there is no downtime.

Q. What results may be expected? How many HydraFacial^TM treatments are needed to see results? How long do the results last?

A. Many people report seeing visible skin refinement and an even, radiant skin tone after just one treatment. The smooth results and hydration may last for five to seven days or even longer. A series of six treatments, one treatment every 1-2 weeks, is recommended for improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and oily/ acne-prone skin. After your first series of treatments, you may want to maintain your results with a HydraFacial^TM treatment every two to four weeks.

Q. Could I combine the HydraFacial^TM treatment with other treatments?
A. At CosmeSurge^®, our practitioners have perfected the combination programs of HydraFacialTM and laser treatments such as Fraxel Dual for skin rejuvenation and hyperpigmentation, fractional CO2 for acne scars, wrinkles and general resurfacing, and Thermage CPT for skin tightening. HydraFacialTM has been also successfully combined with mesotherapy and chemical peels for skin rejuvenation and fat transfer for saggy skin. HydraFacialTM is an effective way to condition the skin before the above mentioned procedures to optimize results while minimizing potential side effects.
