How to prepare for Hydra Facial
HydraFacial Pre-Treatment Guidelines
To ensure the best results and minimize skin sensitivity, please follow these instructions before your HydraFacial:
Discontinue Retinoids & Exfoliants:
Stop using retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and other exfoliating products at least 48 hours prior to your appointment.
Pause Acne & Prescription Treatments:
Avoid topical acne treatments and certain prescription medications for 3–5 days before treatment, unless advised otherwise by your provider.
Avoid Waxing, Lasers & Injectables:
Refrain from these services for at least one week prior to your HydraFacial.
Limit Sun Exposure:
Avoid direct sunlight and tanning. Sunburned or overly tanned skin may be too sensitive for treatment. Use SPF daily.
Stay Hydrated:
Drink plenty of water leading up to your appointment to support healthy, hydrated skin.
Arrive with Clean Skin:
Come to your appointment with a clean face—no makeup, heavy moisturizers, or facial oils.
