How To Care For Your Skin After A Hydrafacial

A Hydrafacial is a non-invasive procedure that offers exceptional results in terms of skin health, clarity and radiance. It combines several skin care treatments into one session: cleansing, exfoliation, extraction and hydration. The ultimate result of a Hydrafacial is clear and glowing skin with little to no downtime. Following a HydraFacial treatment, patients should avoid harsh products or chemical peels for a period of time.

Here are some tips on how best to care for your skin after a HydraFacial treatment:

  1. Keep Your Face Dry For About 6 Hours
  2. Stay Out Of The Sun
  3. Hydrate Your Skin!
  4. Avoid Chemicals
  5. Wait Before Scheduling Other Treatments

Keep Your Face Dry For About 6 Hours

Do not shower or exercise on the day of your treatment, as this will produce sweat and bring out the hydrating serum we have applied. You may, however, wash your face the following morning with a gentle cleanser, such as our advanced ZO Skincare products for sensitive skin.

Stay Out Of The Sun

HydraFacial treatments are designed to improve your skin’s appearance and reduce its signs of aging. However, we firmly believe that they are most effective when used as part of a larger skincare regimen. In addition to HydraFacials, avoid any treatments that involve tanning beds or natural sunlight.

Hydrate Your Skin!

To keep the glow from your Hydrafacial treatment, apply hydrating products every day, morning and night for up to 30 days after the treatment. Staying hydrated is key to improving blood flow throughout your body and helps increase your skin’s elasticity. Avoid products that contain alcohol, fragrances and chemical compounds that may irritate and inflame the skin.  The pores on your skin will be open and allow all of those beneficial nutrients in. Your new, glowing complexion will be radiant.

Avoid Chemicals

It is important to avoid any treatments that can exfoliate or irritate the skin for at least 48 hours prior to your treatment and four weeks after treatment. Please refrain from using any creams and cleansers for 48 hours after your HydraFacial MD treatment. Also, avoid using chemical peels and laser resurfacing for one month after your treatment.

Wait Before Scheduling Other Appointments

The HydraFacial is effective for skin resurfacing. However, it can only remove dead cells and debris from the surface of your skin. A chemical peel or laser treatment will do much more than a facial. Therefore, avoid intensely irritating treatments when you have just had a HydraFacial. Instead, feel free to schedule a consultation with us to discuss options that work best for you.
