Trying a new treatment can feel a little nerve-wracking, especially if you don't know what to expect. Here's exactly what your first Hydrafacial at Flourish Skin Studio looks like, from booking to aftercare.
Before your appointment
If you're new to Flourish, you'll book a consultation version of the Hydrafacial. It's the same price, and it gives us time to talk about your skin, your goals, and your routine before we start.
A few things to keep in mind before you come in:
Skip retinol and strong exfoliating products for a couple of days before, unless I've told you otherwise
Avoid waxing or other treatments on your face in the days before your visit
Come as you are. Makeup is fine, and we'll take care of the rest
During your Hydrafacial
Your treatment starts with a deep cleanse and gentle exfoliation. Then the Hydrafacial tip uses gentle suction to clear out your pores while delivering hydrating serums. Finally, I apply antioxidants and peptides to nourish and protect your skin.
Because every Hydrafacial at Flourish is custom, I may also add a booster, LED light therapy, or other extras based on what your skin needs. Most clients find it really relaxing. It feels cool and gentle, with no pain.
The 75-minute session covers the full treatment. The 90-minute session adds lymphatic drainage for extra de-puffing and glow.
After your Hydrafacial
Most people leave with skin that looks brighter, smoother, and more hydrated. You may be a little pink for a few hours, which is completely normal.
For the rest of the day:
Keep your routine simple: gentle cleanser, hydrating serum, moisturizer, and SPF
Skip retinol, acids, and scrubs for a couple of days
Avoid intense workouts, saunas, and hot tubs for the rest of the day
How long do Hydrafacial results last?
You'll notice the glow right away, and it usually lasts about a week. For longer-lasting results, like clearer pores and smoother texture, most people do best with a Hydrafacial about once a month.
Quick answers
Can I get a Hydrafacial if I've never had a facial? Yes. It's a great first facial because it's gentle and relaxing, and your first visit at Flourish starts with a consultation.
Do I need to wash my face before my appointment? Nope. Come as you are and we'll cleanse your skin as part of the treatment.
When will I see results? Right away. Most people notice brighter, smoother, more hydrated skin as soon as they leave.
