Question 1

What is Hydrafacial?

Accepted Answer

Hydrafacial is a hydrodermabrasion-based skin care treatment. It has three main stages: cleansing and gentle exfoliation, vacuum pore cleansing, then serum and hydration. It is planned by a specialist based on a doctor's assessment, requires no anaesthesia and usually requires no recovery time. The intensity of the stages is adjusted to the skin type.

Question 2

Who may not be suitable for Hydrafacial?

Accepted Answer

Care may be postponed or may not be suitable if there is an active infection such as a cold sore, an open wound in the treatment area, or a recent severe sunburn. If you use medication or prescription skin products that make the skin more sensitive, you should mention this beforehand so the doctor can be consulted. The final decision is made through a doctor's assessment of the skin.

Question 3

What are the possible side effects after Hydrafacial?

Accepted Answer

The most common effects are temporary redness and sensitivity; redness may be slightly more noticeable where suction was applied. These effects usually ease within a short time, and the treatment usually requires no recovery time. Afterwards, avoiding products that may irritate the skin and protecting it from the sun is recommended. If marked swelling, a burning sensation or prolonged redness occurs, the clinic should be informed.

Question 4

When are the effects of Hydrafacial seen, and how long do they last?

Accepted Answer

The skin may feel cleaner and more hydrated after the treatment, and since it usually requires no recovery time, daily life can be resumed. How long the look is maintained depends on skin type, home care routine and environmental factors such as sun and air pollution. For this reason, the care is often planned periodically. Results vary from person to person.

Question 5

How many Hydrafacial sessions are needed?

Accepted Answer

The number of sessions is set individually; the number and intervals are planned by a specialist based on a doctor's assessment, according to skin type and needs. Hydrafacial can be done as a single treatment or as part of a periodic skin care plan. The home care routine and sun protection habits are also taken into account, and the plan can be updated at follow-up according to the skin's condition.

Question 6

What is the difference between Hydrafacial and a classic facial?

Accepted Answer

The main difference lies in the method: a classic facial follows traditional steps such as cleansing, toner, exfoliation, pore cleansing, a mask and moisturising, whereas in Hydrafacial pores are cleansed with vacuum suction and the cleansing, gentle exfoliation, serum and hydration stages follow a hydrodermabrasion-based approach. Both are carried out by a specialist. Which one is suitable is decided through a doctor's assessment of the skin type.
