The short version

Hydrodermabrasion is a crystal-free treatment that uses water and oxygen to exfoliate and hydrate. It suits all skin types, including sensitive skin.

What is hydrodermabrasion?

Hydrodermabrasion is a sophisticated, non-invasive treatment that represents the evolution of traditional microdermabrasion.

Instead of using abrasive crystals or rough diamond tips alone, Hydrodermabrasion utilizes a pressurized stream of saline or specialized serums combined with a gentle vacuum. This “wet” exfoliation process simultaneously lifts away dead skin cells and impurities while flooding the newly revealed skin with deep hydration.

Because it uses liquid as the primary exfoliating agent, Hydrodermabrasion is significantly gentler than dry methods, making it a good choice for patients with sensitive, thinning, or aging skin. It effectively polishes the skin’s surface, improves circulation, and addresses a variety of concerns including dullness, fine lines, and uneven texture.

The power of liquid resurfacing

The brilliance of Hydrodermabrasion lies in its ability to perform multiple actions at once.

As the handpiece glides across your skin, it performs three essential functions: deep cleansing, mechanical exfoliation, and antioxidant infusion. The cooling sensation of the liquid makes the treatment very relaxing, often described as a ‘cool breeze’ moving across the face.

Unlike other resurfacing treatments that can leave the skin feeling tight or irritated, Hydrodermabrasion leaves the complexion feeling plumped and thoroughly refreshed. By removing the barrier of dead skin cells, your medical-grade skincare products can penetrate more effectively, extending the benefits of the treatment long after you leave our studio.

Who can benefit?

One of the most appealing aspects of Hydrodermabrasion is its versatility.

It is safe for virtually all skin tones and types, including those who may find traditional microdermabrasion or chemical peels too aggressive. It is an excellent preventative treatment for younger skin and a powerful rejuvenation tool for mature skin.

We recommend Hydrodermabrasion for anyone looking to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, congested pores, and sun damage. It is also a favorite ‘Red Carpet’ treatment for our clients preparing for weddings or special events, as it provides an instant luminosity and creates a smooth, hydrated canvas for makeup application.

Visible results with zero downtime

You will see a difference in your skin immediately following your first Hydrodermabrasion session.

Your complexion will appear brighter, smoother, and more hydrated. Because the process is so gentle, there is no redness, peeling, or recovery time required. You can return to your daily schedule immediately with nothing but a healthy, bright glow.

While the immediate results are impressive, the best outcomes are achieved through a series of treatments. For clients looking to address specific textural issues or persistent dullness, we typically suggest a series of 4 to 6 sessions spaced two weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every 4 to 6 weeks will help keep your skin in its most radiant state.

What people ask about Hydrodermabrasion.

General answers, for learning. What fits you is decided in person, at a complimentary consultation.

Book a consultation
Is it painful?

Not at all. Most clients find the treatment very relaxing. It feels like a cool, damp sensation moving across the skin. There is no ‘scratchiness’ associated with traditional crystal microdermabrasion.

How long do results last?

The ‘glow’ is immediate and usually shifts into a smoother texture for 1 to 2 weeks. For long-term improvements in skin health and appearance, we recommend monthly treatments.

Can I get this if I have active acne?

Hydrodermabrasion can be beneficial for mild congestion and blackheads, but we typically avoid inflamed or cystic acne to prevent irritation. During your consultation, we will determine if this or a specialized acne treatment is best for you.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are extremely rare. Some clients may experience very mild, temporary flushing for about 30 minutes after the treatment, but this quickly subsides, leaving the skin radiant.

Can I apply makeup after?

Yes! In fact, many clients find that their makeup glides on more smoothly and looks better due to the hydrated and polished surface of the skin.
