Before your HydraFacial, you should not use any facial products or moisturizers prior to your arrival, except for sunscreen. It is also advised to avoid over-the-counter treatments containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, waxing or using depilatories, and applying anything containing tretinoin/retinoids on your skin. In the last two days before your HydraFacial, avoid exfoliating treatments. Furthermore, it is recommended to protect your skin from sun damage and avoid heat. It is essential to ensure that your skin is clean and clear of any makeup or other creams before the HydraFacial. The esthetician will be using steam machines to open up the pores on your face before applying resurfacing products, so they must have access to all parts of your face during this process. The HydraFacial process includes exfoliation, a pain-free chemical peel, gentle dirt extraction, and healing serums. During the treatment, the HydraFacial wand applies vacuum-like suction to clean out trapped pore debris, and various suction strengths are used to minimize discomfort and address the unique needs of individual facial areas.
