If you had a board-certified dermatologist describe the procedure, he or she would say that the HydraFacial™ is a hydra- or water-based dermabrasion treatment that uses a patented technology to refine and rejuvenate the skin in three basic steps. These steps include cleansing, extracting, and hydrating. This branded med-spa experience requires that spas be registered and licensed to sell this specialized skincare service.

According to the company that developed the HydraFacial™, the treatment is helpful for all skin tones. However, medical doctors point out that the therapy should be avoided if you have a sunburn, rash, or rosacea. Pregnant women should not receive the treatment either. Skin specialists add that some of the ingredients used for the facial, such as salicylic acid, have not been tested and shown to be safe for use during pregnancy.

Normally, you should adjust your normal skin care routine before your appointment. For example, if you are using a prescription cream, don’t apply it several days before your scheduled appointment. Doing so will prevent irritation. Tell the HydraFacial™ practitioner about the products you use for skincare and ask for his or her recommendations about using them prior to your appointment date.

You can safely receive a HydraFacial™ from a trained dermatologist or esthetician.
