HydraFacial vs. Traditional Facial

Technique
Patented Vortex-Fusion technology for a 3-step process of cleansing, extracting, and hydrating.
Process
Uses a wand-like device to deliver serums and extract impurities simultaneously. The process is automated and consistent.
Downtime
None. You can return to your normal activities immediately with a radiant glow.
Best For
All skin types, including sensitive skin. Great for addressing a wide range of concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and oily skin.
Results
Immediate, visible results after one treatment. Long-lasting hydration and improved skin health over time.
Technique
Manual application of products and manual extractions. Techniques can vary greatly depending on the esthetician and the client's skin.
Process
Typically involves steaming, exfoliation, manual extractions, masks, and massage. The process is highly customized.
Downtime
Can have some redness and irritation for a few hours to a couple of days, especially after extractions.
Best For
Targeting specific skin concerns that require a highly customized approach, or for those seeking a more traditional, hands-on relaxation experience.
Results
Results can be very good but may take a few days to fully appear, especially after redness subsides. Consistency is key.

Frequently Asked Questions
HydraFacial treatments typically have a higher price point per session due to the technology and specialized serums used. However, the immediate and consistent results can offer great value. Traditional facials can vary widely in price.
A standard HydraFacial takes about 30-45 minutes. A traditional facial is usually longer, ranging from 60 to 90 minutes, as it includes more manual steps and relaxation time.
Both treatments are excellent for long-term skin health when done regularly. HydraFacial provides consistent exfoliation and hydration, while traditional facials can be adapted to your skin's changing needs over time.
