What is HYDRAFACIAL?
HydraFacial is a non-invasive hydradermabrasion skin treatment that exfoliates, extracts, and nourishes the skin through a process of cleansing, toning, and hydration. The treatment gently removes dead cells from the surface layer of your skin while also unblocking pores to allow for extraction – all without damaging or irritating the remaining healthy tissue.
This invigorating facial treatment provides gentle, deep cleaning that’s safe for all skin types\tones with little to no downtime and can be given in as little as 30 min!
Is hydrafacial good for my skin type?
HydraFacial delivers long-term skin health benefits that are easily tolerated by even the most sensitive skin.
In addition, a Below Zero Cryo skincare professional will work with you to tailor the treatment to meet the specific needs of your skin.
How does hydrafacial work?
The HydraFacial treatment begins with the application of a glycolic peel solution. This peel solution helps to loosen the cells on the surface of your skin so they can be more easily removed.
Once the cells have been loosened, the hydradermabrasion machine is used to remove them. The machine uses gentle suction to remove the dead cells as well as any dirt or debris that may be clogging your pores.
The final step of the HydraFacial treatment is the application of the antioxidant and nutrient-rich mask. This mask helps to soothe and protect your skin while also providing it with essential nutrients.
Vortex-Fusion Technology
What makes the HydraFacial unique is its proprietary Vortex-Fusion delivery system. During the treatment, a variety of proprietary tips are used in order to maximize the benefit of each step.
The spiral design of the HydroPeel Tips creates a vortex effect to easily dislodge and remove impurities from the skin. All while simultaneously introducing hydrating skin solutions with potent antioxidants.
Are HydraFacials safe?
Yes, HydraFacials are considered to be safe. They are a non-invasive treatment that uses gentle suction and exfoliation to remove dead cells and debris from the surface of your skin. The antioxidant and nutrient -rich mask used in the final step of the treatment helps to soothe and protect your skin.
Is there any downtime or pain involved?

What should I expect during the treatment

Exfoliation: A chemical peel solution is applied in a controlled manner in order to exfoliate the skin’s surface layer of dead cells, impurities, and oil build up.
Extractions: Comedones and other impurities are extracted through the use of suction.
Hydration: A serum is applied that will help hydrate and revitalize the skin.
Protection: SPF 30 is applied to protect the skin from sun damage.
What Results should I expect after the treatment?
HydraFacial can provide a wide range of benefits for the skin, including hydration, improved complexion, reduced wrinkles and fine lines, and elimination of blackheads and acne.

Thus, the best way to experience the full benefits of HydraFacial is by becoming a regular client.
