HydraFacial
Hydrafacial is most popular medical facial in the world. This refreshing treatment removes dead skin cells and extracts impurities while simultaneously infusing the skin with hydrating and skin-boosting serums.
HydraFacial: 3 Steps to Brighter, Fresher Skin
Healthy, radiant skin starts with proper cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration—but not all facials deliver the same results. A Hydrafacial is an advanced, medical-grade treatment that goes beyond a traditional facial by deeply cleansing pores, gently exfoliating, extracting impurities, and infusing the skin with nourishing serums in one relaxing treatment.
Suitable for nearly all skin types, Hydrafacial is an excellent choice for improving hydration, refining pores, brightening dull skin, reducing congestion, and promoting a smoother, healthier-looking complexion with little to no downtime.
At Dermatology Center of Atlanta, every Hydrafacial is performed by a licensed aesthetician and can be customized to your skin’s unique needs. Whether you’re maintaining healthy skin, preparing for a special event, or addressing concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation, or signs of aging, we’ll tailor your treatment to help you achieve your skincare goals.
What is a HydraFacial?
A Hydrafacial is a non-invasive, medical-grade facial treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, and deeply hydrates the skin in a single treatment. Using patented vortex technology, the Hydrafacial device gently removes dead skin cells and debris from the pores while simultaneously infusing the skin with nourishing, antioxidant-rich serums.
Unlike traditional facials or more abrasive resurfacing treatments, Hydrafacial delivers immediate results with no downtime. Skin looks cleaner, smoother, brighter, and more hydrated after just one treatment, making it an excellent option before a special event or as part of an ongoing skincare routine.
Every skin is unique, which is why every Hydrafacial at Dermatology Center of Atlanta can be personalized to address your individual skin concerns and goals.
Your licensed aesthetician will evaluate your skin’s unique needs and can recommend a treatment-enhancing booster to address concerns such as dehydration, hyperpigmentation, clogged pores, acne, uneven skin tone, or visible signs of aging. Whether your goal is healthy skin maintenance or targeted skin rejuvenation, we’ll tailor your Hydrafacial to help you achieve your best results.
Custom Hydrafacial Treatments
Each DCA Hydrafacial deeply cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, and hydrates the skin using patented vortex technology for an instantly refreshed, healthy-looking glow.
For enhanced results, your treatment can be upgraded with one of our professional Hydrafacial boosters. These treatment-enhancing serums are designed to target a variety of skin concerns, including dehydration, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, clogged or congested pores, and visible signs of aging such as fine lines and loss of firmness. Hydrafacial is continually developing new booster technologies, and our selection evolves throughout the year.
Looking to take your results even further? Dermaplaning can be added to any facial Hydrafacial treatment to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (“peach fuzz”), leaving skin exceptionally smooth and allowing skincare products to penetrate more effectively.
And Hydrafacial isn’t just for the face! We also offer Hydrafacial treatments for areas such as the neck and décolleté, back, arms, hands, and more. These treatments can be performed on their own or added to a facial Hydrafacial to refresh and rejuvenate skin wherever it needs extra attention.
Not sure which options are right for you? Your Dermatology Center of Atlanta licensed aesthetician will evaluate your skin and recommend the ideal combination of boosters and treatment enhancements based on your skin type, concerns, and aesthetic goals.
What makes HydraFacial special?
HydraFacial combines elements of two popular skincare treatments – chemical peels and microdermabrasion. The patented HydraFacial handpieces use spiral tips and are equipped with vortex technology to generate a whirling force.
Rather than blasting the skin with grit, à la traditional dermabrasion, this gentler approach vacuums out pores while simultaneously pushing in potent actives, which moisturize, brighten, plump, and protect. The treatment is soothing, refreshing, non-irritating, and immediately effective.
Essentially, the HydraFacial treatment purges the skin of impurities while at the same time adding booster serums to promote skin health. This makes HydraFacial an effective treatment for various skin concerns, including fine lines, acne, brown spots, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and dry skin.
What does HydraFacial address?
One of the best things about HydraFacial is that it’s good for all kinds of skin concerns. Whether it’s a teenager with acne-prone skin, an adult with hyperpigmentation, or an older individual with sun damage and visible signs of aging, a HydraFacial treatment can work wonders for all skin types and complexions in people of all ages.
The only people who should avoid a HydraFacial treatment are those with active skin infections, rashes, rosacea, or sunburn. Also, pregnant patients are advised to wait until they have delivered before undergoing a HydraFacial because some of the serums used during the treatment have not been tested for safety during pregnancy.
Are there any risks associated with Hydrafacial?
The great thing about a HydraFacial treatment is that you get consistent results. Equally predictable is the safety profile of HydraFacial. HydraFacial is safe and effective. It does not cause the skin to become red or irritated. If you do have sensitive skin, just be sure to let your provider know. Hydrafacials can be customized with a variety of specific serums so your aesthetician can select the one that is most appropriate for your skin type.
You can say that HydraFacial hits the sweet spot between a basic facial and more aggressive treatments like laser skin resurfacing. The payoff is a very low risk of side effects and no downtime. Your skin becomes brighter and more hydrated, and even conditions like acne calm down without any irritation or peeling of the skin.
This means you can book your HydraFacial appointment before big events and turn heads with that extra glow.
Is a HydraFacial treatment painful?
A HydraFacial is anything but painful. It is a relaxing spa-like treatment and a feel-good experience. Most clients say it feels like a gentle massage. The HydraFacial treatment typically lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, and you can resume normal activities immediately afterward.
How often should you get a HydraFacial?
Your provider will evaluate your skin and advise you about the appropriate frequency of HydraFacial treatments. The effects of a HydraFacial last longer than a regular facial. Most people find that repeating HydraFacial treatments every 4-6 weeks is ideal for maintaining dewy skin with a healthy glow.
Will I need any special skincare between HydraFacial treatments?
You won’t need any special skincare regimen after your HydraFacial. It may be best, however, to avoid exfoliating for a couple of days. Let your skin rest and avoid applying makeup until the next day.
At Dermatology Center of Atlanta, we offer a variety of medical-grade skincare products to use between HydraFacial treatments. Your provider can recommend a skincare regimen customized just for you so you can get even better results. The continued process of cleansing and exfoliating the skin and introducing potent serums directly into the skin leads to a spike in hydration and radiance with improved texture and firmness and reduction in oil production and pore size.
Can you combine HydraFacial with other procedures?
Yes, absolutely. A HydraFacial treatment can be combined with other cosmetic procedures; however, it is best to discuss this with one of your providers. They can direct you as to which procedures can be performed the same day as a HydraFacial treatment.
