The HydraFacial uses a patented vortex-fusion delivery system to cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and hydrate the skin in a single continuous treatment. Each step prepares the skin for the next. The exfoliation opens the surface, the extraction clears the pores, and the hydration phase infuses concentrated serums into freshly cleared skin for maximum absorption. Unlike most facials, which address one concern at a time, the HydraFacial works across multiple dimensions of skin health in a single session. The result is skin that looks cleaner, clearer, smoother, and more hydrated immediately after your appointment.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

Our estheticians perform all HydraFacial treatments at Element Dermatology under the direct oversight of Dr. Barry LaBine, a board-certified dermatologist. Here's what you can expect:

  • Your Consultation: Your esthetician will assess your skin type, concerns, and goals before your treatment begins. Based on this assessment, they will select the appropriate serums and, for Deluxe appointments, the boosters and add-ons best suited to your skin. If this is your first visit, your case may be reviewed by Dr. LaBine to ensure the right approach is chosen.
  • The Treatment: The HydraFacial handpiece moves across the skin in four sequential steps: cleansing and exfoliation, gentle acid peel, painless vortex extraction, and serum infusion. The entire experience is comfortable throughout, and most patients describe it as deeply relaxing. Sessions take an hour for the standard HydraFacial and about 75 minutes for the Deluxe.
  • Results and Follow-Up: Results are visible immediately. Your skin will look cleaner, clearer, and more hydrated as soon as you look in the mirror. There’s no downtime, and you can return to all normal activities, including makeup right away.

A HydraFacial is the treatment we recommend to almost anyone who asks where to start. It meets your skin exactly where it is, improves it in every direction at once, and asks nothing of you afterward. That's a difficult combination to beat.

Frequently Asked Questions About HydraFacial

What’s the difference between HydraFacial and a regular facial?

A traditional facial relies largely on manual techniques and topical products applied to the skin's surface. The HydraFacial uses a patented vortex-fusion delivery system that simultaneously exfoliates and infuses, extracting debris from pores and delivering concentrated serums into the skin. The result is a deeper clean, more effective serum penetration, and a more consistent outcome than manual facials produce. It’s also more standardized, which means the result is predictable every time.

What’s the difference between HydraFacial and HydraFacial Deluxe?

Both follow the same four-step HydraFacial protocol. The Deluxe adds targeted booster serums chosen for your skin concern, as well as extended lymphatic drainage, facial massage, and LED light therapy. The standard HydraFacial is perfect for patients who want consistent monthly maintenance, while the Deluxe is better suited for patients with a specific skin concern they want to address more intensively, or those who want a more comprehensive experience overall.

Can I have a HydraFacial if I have acne?

Yes! In fact, the HydraFacial is often one of the best treatments for acne-prone skin. The extraction step clears congested pores without manual squeezing, which reduces the risk of spreading bacteria or causing irritation. The infusion step can include serums specifically formulated to address acne, reduce excess oil, and calm inflammation. We’ll tailor your serum selection to your skin's needs during your consultation.

Is HydraFacial safe during pregnancy?

The standard HydraFacial can generally be adapted for pregnant patients by selecting a serum that avoids ingredients not recommended during pregnancy. At Element Dermatology, having a board-certified dermatologist on site means we can review and approve the specific products used in your treatment to ensure they are appropriate. We also offer a dedicated Mommy Facial designed specifically for pregnant patients. Please let us know when booking that you’re pregnant so we can prepare accordingly.
