HydraFacial in Midtown Manhattan

What a HydraFacial actually does

A HydraFacial works in four stages in a single sitting: it cleanses and gently loosens dead surface cells, exfoliates, uses light vacuum suction to extract what is sitting in the pores, then floods the skin with hydrating serums as it finishes.

The reason it is so widely booked is the combination: you get the deep-clean of an extraction facial and the plumpness of a hydrating one, without the redness that manual extractions can leave behind.

What it helps with

• Dullness and tired-looking skin
• Dryness and dehydration
• Mild congestion and blackheads
• Rough or uneven surface texture
• Skin that needs to look its best for a specific date

Who it suits

Most skin types, including sensitive skin, because the intensity of the exfoliation and the serums used are both adjustable. It is a good first treatment if you have never had a professional facial, and a good maintenance treatment between stronger ones like chemical peels or microneedling.

Your session

Book an hour. It starts with a professional skin analysis so the serums can be matched to what your skin actually needs that week rather than a fixed menu.

There is no downtime. Skin normally looks brighter and feels smoother immediately, which is why it is the treatment most often booked before a wedding, a shoot or an event.

How often should you have one?

As a one-off before an event it works perfectly well. As maintenance, roughly monthly suits most skin, which is why it is offered as $199 for a single session or $479 for three.

Try it together with a peel

New clients can book a chemical peel and HydraFacial together for $179 in one session, which is less than either treatment costs separately. It is the easiest way to see what your skin responds to before committing to a course. Ask for it by name when you book.

Common questions

Is a HydraFacial worth it?

If your goal is immediate glow, hydration and a proper pore clean-out with no recovery time, yes. If your goal is structural change such as acne scarring or firmness, microneedling will do more for you.

Does it hurt?

No. Most people describe the suction as a slightly odd but comfortable sensation.

Can I wear makeup afterwards?

Yes, though skin usually looks better without it for the rest of the day.
