How 7‑step HydraFacial works

HydraFacial uses a patented spiral tip + gentle suction to clean, peel, extract, and hydrate all at once. The 7‑step version adds detox and LED so results are deeper than the basic 4‑step. No needles, no manual squeezing.

The 7 steps generally are:  

• Cleanse: Removes makeup, oil, and surface dirt
• Detox: Detox serum helps loosen buildup  
• Extraction: Painless vortex suction pulls out blackheads, whiteheads, and gunk from pores  
• Hydration: using products and tools to maximise absorption 
• Antioxidant Infusion: protect skin and boost glow  
• Lymphatic Drainage: Gentle massage or device work around jaw/cheeks to reduce puffiness  
•  LED Light Therapy: Red light for collagen/anti‑aging or blue light for acne, depending on your skin goal  

Benefits of HydraFacial

• Instant glow: Skin looks brighter and dewy right after 1 session  
• Deep pore clean: Suction clears congestion better than scrubbing or manual extraction  
• Hydration boost: Serums get pushed into skin, not just sitting on top  
• Texture + fine lines: Peptides + red LED smooth rough skin and soften lines over time  
• Acne/oil control: Salicylic acid + blue LED calm breakouts and excess oil  
• No downtime: Redness fades in 30‑60 min. You can wear makeup same day  
• Safe for most skin types: Works on sensitive, dry, oily, or combination skin when serums are customized  

What to expect during the procedure  

1. Consult: Therapist checks skin and picks serum mix for acne, aging, or dryness  

2. Cleanse: Makeup and oil wiped off  

3. Treatment: You’ll feel a cool, vacuuming sensation + mild tingle from the peel. Sounds like a tiny vacuum. Zero pain  

4. Time: 45‑60 min for full 7 steps  

5. After: Face looks pink and glowy, like post‑workout flush. No peeling, crusting, or hiding for days  

Post‑Treatment Care and Recovery

-First 48 hrs: Skip heavy workouts, saunas, swimming, and direct sun. Skin is more sensitive  

– Do: Gentle cleanser, hydrating serum, fragrance‑free moisturizer, SPF 30‑50. Hydrated skin holds results longer  

-Avoid: Retinol, acids, scrubs, harsh actives for 5‑7 days. Let the peel work  

– Makeup: Mineral makeup is fine same day if skin isn’t irritated 

– Results: Glow lasts 5‑7 days. With monthly sessions, pores stay clearer and texture improves over 3‑4 months  

Frequently Asked Questions

 Does it hurt?  

No. Most people find it relaxing. The suction feels like a gentle vacuum and the peel is low‑strength.

How often should I get it?

Every 4 weeks for maintenance. Acne or congested skin may need 2‑3 sessions spaced 2 weeks apart first.

Can teens get HydraFacial? 

Yes, from mid‑teens onward. Great for blackheads and oily T‑zone without harsh scrubbing. Ask for gentle serums.

Is it safe for sensitive skin or rosacea? 

Generally yes. Tell your provider about rosacea so they use calming serums and skip blue LED/strong peel.

4‑step vs 7‑step, what’s the difference?

4‑step = cleanse, peel, extract, hydrate. 7‑step adds detox, lymphatic drainage, and LED. More time + more targeted results.

Will I purge/break out after?

Sometimes. Deep extraction can bring hidden congestion up 2‑3 days later. It clears faster than manual squeezing and is temporary.
