HydraFacials: What You Need to Know

At Urban You, we specialize in many beauty and wellness services including skin treatments. We offer a variety of skin treatments but one of our most popular is the HydraFacial. So, what makes HydraFacials so popular?

What is a HydraFacial?

HydraFacial MD® is a non-invasive, multistep treatment that combines the benefits of next-level hydra-dermabrasion, a chemical peel, automated painless extractions (no pinching!), and a special delivery of Antioxidants, Hyaluronic Acid, and Peptides. This gentle approach vacuums out pores while infusing serums that moisturize, brighten, plump and protect the skin. Basically, it cleanses, exfoliates, and infuses the skin all in one! There is also the potential to add targeted boosters which focus on skin concerns like brown spots or wrinkle lines. It does all of this in one quick treatment that delivers real results without downtime or irritation. 

What makes HydraFacial’s different from microdermabrasion or a traditional chemical peel?

A HydraFacial distinguishes itself from microdermabrasion and a traditional chemical peel with its machine handpiece which holds patented spiralized treatment tips equipped with “vortex technology”. It extracts from pores while simultaneously infusing serums. It cleanses deeper than a normal extraction and is a lot less painful. Also, chemical peels are most effective on lighter skin tones while HydraFacials can be used on all shades. 

Who should get a HydraFacial?

The best thing about HydraFacials is that it appeals to nearly all ages, complexions, and concerns. It works for teenagers with acne, adults with wrinkles and hyperpigmentation, and older patients with sun damage and flaky pre-cancerous spots. Those who should abstain from a HydraFacial include individuals with active rashes, sunburns, or rosacea, along with pregnant patients, as some of the ingredients used during a HydraFacial (such as salicylic acid), haven't been proven safe to use during pregnancy. 

How much does it cost?

On average, HydraFacials cost anywhere between $200-$300. At Urban You, we offer a competitive price of $195. If you have an Urban You membership you can receive special pricing. 

Most patients report seeing visible results such as skin refinement and an even, radiant skin tone after just one treatment! A HydraFacial leaves the skin glowing for about a week. One treatment per month is recommended for improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, oily and congested skin. At Urban You, our skincare experts will work with you to understand your unique skin concerns and customize your treatment. Are you ready for the best skin of your life?
