What's A Hydrafacial? Do You Need One?

by Mario Medina

What is a hydrafacial? Will it benefit you and how much does it cost? Where do you get a hydrafacial? If you have only heard of this term just now or you've been curious about what a hydrafacial is for a while, you'll learn much of what you need to know here.

What is a hydrafacial?

A hydrafacial is a facial treatment where impurities are removed from the skin, and then hydrating and beneficial serums are infused into the skin. Unlike microdermabrasion treatments and similar treatments that use abrasion to remove dead skin, oils, and other impurities from the skin, a hydrafacial simply uses suction and pressure to cleanse the skin before delivering rejuvenating serums.

Does a hydrafacial benefit you?

A hydrafacial can help improve your skin by removing dead skin cells, oils, dirt, and other debris from your face and pores. Since impurities are flushed away from the skin, it can then renew and start to show smaller pores, more even skin tone, less oily skin, and even less severe wrinkles and fine lines. If you have oily skin, are prone to acne, or have sensitive skin that reacts to harsh abrasion or other treatments, then a hydrafacial may be right for you.

What does a hydrafacial cost?

A hydrafacial comes with a price tag beginning around $199 and will go up from there. The costs for this treatment vary depending on how long your session is, where you live, and what additional products or services you have added onto your hydrafacial.

While a hydrafacial is pricier than a microdermabrasion session, it's just as effective as the latter and doesn't have the downtime or recovery time that microdermabrasion does. You can repeat a hydrafacial session as frequently as your salon specialist suggests or your budget allows.

Where can you get a hydrafacial?

You can get a hydrafacial at your local dermatologist's office or at your full-service skin and hair salon. Choose a specialist who has experience giving hydrafacials, and make your skin care concerns known, such as how sensitive your skin is or what daily issues you have concerns about. This will help you get the best results from your treatment.

A hydrafacial doesn't replace your regular skin care and cleansing routine, and it adds to your skin's overall beauty. Your skin care specialist can let you know more about a hydrafacial so you can decide if it's best for you.
