What is Hydrafacial MD?
A Hydrafacial is like a facial, but better! It’s a 30-minute facial procedure that exfoliates dead skin cells, removes them, then fills your pores with serums containing naturally occurring proteins, peptides, and acids using a unique Vortex-Fusion® delivery system.
It’s this multi-step treatment that sets HydraFacial apart from the rest. It cleanses, evenly exfoliates, and extracts impurities and dead skin cells while at the same time replenishing vital nutrients including Antioxidants, Peptides and Hyaluronic Acid.
The Treatment

Hydrafacial MD Wet Diamond Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a gentle, non-surgical procedure used to resurface and exfoliate the skin. Microdermabrasion combines vacuum technology with a gentle exfoliating surface to clean debris from the treatment area and clean away dead skin cells. In turn it promotes new skin cell turnover over, can help to shrink pore size, diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while evening out skin tone.
Hydrafacial Keravive
HydraFacial Keravive is a unique, relaxing treatment designed to cleanse, exfoliate, nourish, and hydrate the scalp for healthier and fuller-looking hair for all skin and hair types. Keravive is a first of its kind 3-step treatment that includes an in-clinic component, as well as a 30-day take-home spray.
HydraFacial’s proprietary Vortex Technology easily dissolves and removes impurities from the scalp and hair follicle. The Keravive Peptide Complex Solution delivers a hyper-concentrated blend of biomimetic growth factors and skin proteins that hydrate and nourish the scalp.
Daily use of the HydraFacial Keravive Peptide Complex Spray enhances your in-clinic treatment and delivers daily hydration and nourishment to your scalp and hair follicles.
HydraFacial Keravive can also complement hair-loss treatment protocols.

It is common to notice redness, swelling, bruising and soreness immediately after the procedure. However, this shouldn’t prevent you from returning to work after injections. We recommend scheduling injections around your work schedule if you are concerned about the social downtime.
Results commonly become noticeable within one week after treatment and improve with time. When treating skin concerns such as melasma and deep lines and wrinkles, it can take several treatments before noticing results.
Results from treatment are permanent. We recommend diligent lifestyle measures and a Med Spa skin care routine to maintain results.
Topical anesthetic cream is applied to reduce discomfort during the treatment.
The most common side effects include bleeding, bruising, swelling, and redness. These most commonly improve within 1-3 days after treatment.
Makeup may be worn 72 hours after treatment.
