A HydraFacial is a facial treatment using a patented device to deliver exfoliation, cleansing, extraction, and hydration to the face or any part of the body including bum, back and chest. This system uses a vortex swirling action to deliver hydration and to remove dead skin, dirt, debris, and impurities while cleaning and soothing your skin. 

This treatment is perfect for any patient experiencing congested pores, including those with problematic skin. This combination of products helps to reduce oil without drying and gives the skin the hydration it needs.

Hydrafacial delivers amazing results as a stand alone treatment or you can add on services such as Carbon Peel, Lympathic Drainage and LED treatments.

How does Hydrafacial work?

These steps are delivered using a patented HydraFacial device Unlike traditional facial treatments that can have different effects depending on your skin type and concerns, the

HydraFacial provides consistent results and can be used on all skin types.
