What Is HydraFacial MD™?
HydraFacial MD™ is an advanced, non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that combines exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and infusion of potent serums in a single session. Using patented Vortex-Fusion® technology, the system removes impurities while simultaneously delivering antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid deep into your skin. Unlike traditional microdermabrasion, HydraFacial is crystal-free, gentle, and safe for all skin types.
What Are the Benefits of HydraFacial?
- Exfoliates dead skin cells for smoother, softer skin
- Improves hydration and circulation
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Fades sun damage, age spots, and hyperpigmentation
- Helps clear clogged pores and acne-prone skin
- Leaves your complexion radiant with no downtime
At the Stern Center, HydraFacial treatments can also be paired with Blue Light LED therapy, which targets acne-causing bacteria for clearer skin.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
HydraFacial is suitable for almost anyone who wants healthier-looking skin without recovery time. It’s especially effective if you:
- Struggle with dryness, dullness, or uneven tone
- Have acne or oily skin prone to breakouts
- Are noticing fine lines or early signs of aging
- Want a safe treatment for sensitive skin
- Prefer a quick procedure that delivers immediate results
What to Expect During Treatment
Your HydraFacial session typically lasts 30–45 minutes. The process begins with gentle cleansing and exfoliation, followed by painless suction to remove impurities. Next, your skin is infused with nourishing serums tailored to your needs. At the Stern Center, the VISIA™ Complexion Analysis system can guide your treatment plan by highlighting the areas of greatest concern.
Because HydraFacial is comfortable and non-invasive, you can return to work, school, or social events right away. Many people schedule it during their lunch hour.
What Results Can You Expect?
Most patients notice smoother, brighter, and more hydrated skin immediately after their first treatment. With regular sessions every 4–6 weeks, results accumulate, improving skin elasticity, reducing discoloration, and maintaining a youthful glow. HydraFacial also supports long-term skin health by improving your skin’s ability to retain moisture and repair itself.
Are There Any Side Effects or Recovery Needs?
HydraFacial requires no downtime. You may experience slight redness or tightness immediately after treatment, but these effects are temporary and resolve quickly. Unlike traditional microdermabrasion, HydraFacial is gentle enough for sensitive skin and rarely causes irritation.

FAQs for HydraFacial MD™
How much does HydraFacial cost?
Costs vary depending on your customized treatment plan and any add-ons, such as LED therapy or booster serums. Pricing is reviewed during your consultation.
Is HydraFacial safe for sensitive skin or rosacea?
Yes. HydraFacial is gentle and can be tailored with calming serums that address sensitivity, redness, and rosacea. It is one of the few treatments designed to work safely on delicate skin.
Can I wear makeup after HydraFacial?
You can apply makeup the same day, though many people love the post-treatment glow and prefer to go without.
How soon will I see results?
You’ll notice an immediate improvement in hydration, tone, and texture after just one treatment. Results build with consistent sessions every 4–6 weeks.
Can HydraFacial help with acne scars?
While HydraFacial doesn’t remove deep scarring, it improves skin texture, reduces congestion, and minimizes discoloration, which can make scars appear less noticeable.
Is HydraFacial only for women?
No. HydraFacial is a popular treatment for men as well, particularly for clearing congested pores, reducing oiliness, and maintaining healthy-looking skin.
Can I combine HydraFacial with Botox or fillers?
Yes. HydraFacial complements injectables by improving skin quality, hydration, and tone. Many patients schedule HydraFacial a few days before or after injectable treatments.
Are results permanent?
HydraFacial provides long-lasting improvements in skin health, but skin continues to age and face environmental stressors. Regular treatments help maintain and build results over time.
