Hydrafacial: The Ultimate Treatment for Radiant, Healthy, and Refreshed Skin
Discover why Hydrafacial is one of the most trusted, results-driven treatments for glowing skin
Healthy, youthful-looking skin isn’t just about what you apply at home—it also comes from choosing the right in-clinic treatments that cleanse, exfoliate, and nourish your skin at a deeper level. Among today’s most popular professional treatments, Hydrafacial® stands out as a global favorite, offering immediate, visible improvements with zero downtime.
At Q Dermatology + Aesthetics Centre, Hydrafacial is one of our most requested treatments for good reason. Whether you're dealing with dullness, clogged pores, congestion, fine lines, uneven tone, or blemish-prone skin, Hydrafacial delivers noticeable improvements after just one session—and even better results with a series.
This comprehensive guide breaks down everything you need to know: what Hydrafacial is, how it works, who it’s for, expected results, and why our dermatology team recommends it for long-term skin health.
What Is Hydrafacial?
Hydrafacial® is a non-invasive, medical-grade skin treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and infusion of targeted serums in one powerful session.
Unlike a traditional facial, Hydrafacial uses patented Vortex-Fusion Technology, which creates a gentle yet highly effective suction that:
Deeply cleans pores
Breaks up congestion and impurities
Exfoliates dead skin
Hydrates intensely
Delivers personalized booster serums based on your skin’s needs
It’s essentially seven treatments in one, making it one of the most efficient and transformative skin procedures available today.
Hydrafacial is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and requires no downtime—meaning you can return to work, exercise, or social plans immediately after.
7 Therapies in 1 Platinum Hydrafacial Treatment
The Platinum Hydrafacial integrates seven powerful skin-transforming steps into a single treatment for maximum glow and long-term skin health.
1. Lymphatic Drainage
Supports detoxification and encourages lymph flow to reduce puffiness, improve circulation, and promote a more sculpted, lifted appearance.
2. Microdermabrasion
Gently removes dead skin cells and buildup on the surface, revealing smoother and brighter skin without irritation.
3. Customized Peel
A gentle chemical peel tailored to your skin type. Helps unclog pores, improve blemishes, and boost radiance.
4. Extraction (Pore Purification)
Uses painless Vortex suction to remove oils, debris, and impurities—no harsh squeezing, redness, or discomfort.
5. Targeted Serum Boosters
Personalized boosters infused with potent active ingredients to address specific concerns such as wrinkles, pigmentation, dullness, or acne.
6. LED Light Therapy
Choose from:
Red LED: boosts collagen, reduces fine lines, promotes healing
Blue LED: targets acne bacteria and helps reduce breakouts
7. Hydration Infusion
A deeply hydrating antioxidant-rich serum completes the treatment, leaving you with the signature Hydrafacial glow—plump, smooth, and radiant skin.
How Hydrafacial Works: A Step-by-Step Breakdown
Hydrafacial follows a structured three-phase process designed to improve overall skin health while addressing specific concerns.
1. Cleanse + Exfoliate
Your treatment begins with a gentle resurfacing step that removes oil, dirt, sunscreen residue, and buildup from the skin’s surface. A mild exfoliating peel softens the skin and loosens dead skin cells for painless extraction.
2. Extract
Hydrafacial’s vortex suction technology clears pore impurities with exceptional precision. Unlike manual extractions, there is no pain, redness, or trauma to the skin. This step is especially beneficial for congested, oily, or acne-prone skin.
3. Hydrate + Infuse
Finally, your skin is infused with deeply hydrating serums and a personalized booster of your choice. Boosters target issues such as:
Fine lines
Wrinkles
Hyperpigmentation
Acne
Loss of firmness
Uneven tone
Dullness
Your treatment ends with LED therapy (red or blue) to enhance results, boost collagen, or calm breakout-prone skin.
