Pre-treatment preparation for a Hydrafacial session

Preparing your skin before a HydraFacial session is essential to ensure maximum results and minimize any potential irritation. While HydraFacial is gentle and suitable for most skin types, taking certain steps beforehand helps the treatment work more effectively and enhances the overall experience. First, it’s important to avoid harsh skincare treatments for at least a few days before your HydraFacial. This includes chemical peels, aggressive exfoliation, or abrasive scrubs, as these can make your skin more sensitive. Over-exfoliated or irritated skin may react negatively to the HydraFacial process, causing redness or discomfort. Gentle cleansing and moisturizing during this period are recommended to maintain healthy skin. Next, minimize sun exposure and avoid tanning beds in the week leading up to your session. Sunburned or overly tanned skin is more prone to sensitivity and irritation, which could affect the treatment results. Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily is advisable to protect your skin and reduce the risk of post-treatment redness.
