How HydraFacial Works

HydraFacial uses patented Vortex-Fusion technology — a spiral-tipped handpiece that creates a vortex effect as it moves across the skin. This vortex simultaneously loosens and suctions away dead cells, dirt, oil, and blackheads while delivering targeted serums deep into the freshly cleaned pores. It's exfoliation, extraction, and hydration happening at the same time, in a single pass.
Clinically, the process works in three stages. First, a gentle hydradermabrasion resurfaces the stratum corneum (the dead-cell barrier on your skin's surface) and applies a light acid peel using glycolic and salicylic acids to loosen debris deep within the pores. Second, the vortex extraction vacuums out blackheads, whiteheads, and congestion painlessly — no squeezing, no inflammation. Third, the device infuses the skin with a blend of antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid, delivering hydration and nourishment at a depth that topical application alone can't reach.

Signature HydraFacial

This is the foundation — the classic HydraFacial experience.

It includes deep cleansing, exfoliation, painless vortex extraction, and hydration with antioxidant-rich serums. The Signature is ideal if you're new to HydraFacial or looking for a reliable maintenance treatment that keeps your skin clear, hydrated, and glowing between visits.

Medically, this treatment addresses the full cycle: it removes the dead cell buildup that slows your skin's natural turnover, clears pore congestion that leads to breakouts, and replenishes hydration at the dermal level using hyaluronic acid and peptides. Think of it as the essential service — everything your skin needs, nothing it doesn't.

Best for: General maintenance, first-time clients, a pre-event glow.

Deluxe HydraFacial

The Deluxe builds on the Signature with two additions: extended extractions and red LED light therapy.
The extended extraction phase gives us more time with the vortex handpiece, allowing us to work more thoroughly through congested areas.  For clients with oilier skin or persistent congestion, this extra attention makes a meaningful difference.

Red LED light therapy is delivered after the facial using specific wavelengths (630–660nm) that penetrate the skin's surface and reach the dermal layer. At this depth, red light stimulates fibroblast activity — the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. The result is improved skin texture, reduced redness and inflammation, and support for the skin's natural repair processes. 

In simpler terms: the Signature cleans and hydrates your skin, and the Deluxe adds a deeper clean plus a collagen-boosting light treatment that helps your skin heal and firm from the inside.

Best for: Congested or oily skin, anti-aging goals, clients wanting more thorough results.

Platinum HydraFacial

The Platinum HydraFacial incorporates lymphatic drainage massage — a gentle, rhythmic technique applied to the face and neck before the HydraFacial treatment begins.

Your lymphatic system is a network of vessels and nodes that transports fluid, waste products, and immune cells throughout your body. Unlike your circulatory system, the lymphatic system doesn't have a pump — it relies on muscle movement and manual stimulation to keep fluid moving. When lymphatic flow becomes sluggish (from stress, poor sleep, dehydration, or simply aging), fluid accumulates in the facial tissues, leading to puffiness, dullness, and a heavy, tired appearance.

Lymphatic drainage massage uses light, directional strokes to manually encourage that fluid toward the lymph nodes, where waste is filtered and eliminated. The result is visibly reduced puffiness, improved circulation, and a more sculpted, lifted appearance — all before the HydraFacial even begins.

Think of it as clearing the drainage system before you clean the house. By moving stagnant fluid out first, the skin is better prepared to receive the exfoliation, extraction, and hydration that follow — and the overall results are noticeably enhanced.

Best for: Puffiness, fluid retention, dull or fatigued-looking skin, anyone wanting the most comprehensive experience.

Clarifying HydraFacial

The Clarifying HydraFacial is a focused, streamlined treatment built around three targeted steps: exfoliation, extraction, and infusion. It's designed specifically for skin that needs clearing — acne-prone, congested, or oily skin types that benefit from a no-nonsense approach to pore health.

This treatment prioritizes getting debris out and active ingredients in. The exfoliation phase removes the dead cell layer that traps oil and bacteria. The extraction phase vacuums out the congestion. And the infusion phase delivers clarifying serums directly into the freshly opened pores, where they can work most effectively against the bacterial and inflammatory processes that drive breakouts.
If the Signature is the full-service treatment and the Platinum is the luxury experience, the Clarifying is the targeted strike — efficient, effective, and focused on one job: getting your skin clear.

Best for: Active acne, oily skin, breakout-prone areas, clients who want a focused clearing treatment.

These targeted Perk treatments can be added to any HydraFacial session. They use a patented roller-flex tip to gently exfoliate and infuse the delicate lip and eye areas — zones too sensitive for the standard handpiece — with concentrated, ingredient-specific serums.

Lip Perk

The skin on your lips is significantly thinner than the rest of your face, with fewer oil glands and no melanin to protect against UV exposure. This makes lips especially prone to dehydration, cracking, and visible signs of aging.
The Lip Perk gently exfoliates the surface layer of the lips, removing dry, flaky skin and clearing the way for a revitalizing serum built around peony extract (Paeonia Albiflora root extract), which helps restore volume and re-plump the lip tissue, along with aloe leaf extract and vitamins A, C, and E for hydration and antioxidant protection. The treatment takes about ten minutes and leaves lips visibly smoother, softer, and lightly plumped — without any needles.
You'll also take home the remaining serum vial to continue applying twice daily for 30 days, extending the treatment's benefits well beyond your appointment.
In plain terms: It's a deep exfoliation and hydration treatment specifically for your lips — like a mini HydraFacial for your pout.

Eye Perk

The periorbital area — the skin around your eyes — is the thinnest on your entire body, making it the first place to show fatigue, aging, puffiness, and dark circles. It's also an area where most people are cautious about applying products, which means it often gets less attention than it needs.
The Eye Perk uses the same gentle roller-flex exfoliation to clear dead cells from this delicate zone, then infuses a replenishing serum formulated with arnica flower extract (a natural anti-inflammatory that helps reduce puffiness and bruising), Avena Sativa oat kernel extract (which soothes irritation and strengthens the skin barrier), horse chestnut seed extract, and citric acid. Together, these ingredients brighten dark circles, reduce puffiness, and firm the under-eye area.
Like the Lip Perk, each Eye Perk treatment includes a 30-day take-home serum so you can maintain the results between sessions.
In plain terms: It targets the tired, puffy, dark-circle zone around your eyes with ingredients designed to brighten, de-puff, and firm — all in about ten minutes.
