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 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.
