Hydrafacial® is a complete facial that deeply cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates the skin through a multi-step protocol. It is one of our most requested treatments to quickly restore radiance.
What this treatment targets
Dull complexion, dehydrated skin, congested pores, uneven texture and signs of fatigue.
How it works
The treatment combines cleansing and gentle exfoliation, painless extraction, then infusion of hydrating serums suited to your skin. Each step is adjusted after your consultation assessment.
What to expect
Suitable for most skin types. Ideal before an event or as regular maintenance. Your consultation confirms the treatment is right for you.
About 60 minutes.
A single session gives an immediate glow. For maintenance, several spaced sessions are often advised; the rhythm is set with you.
Generally no downtime. We advise you on sun protection and home care after the session.
Results
Brighter, more hydrated skin right away. Results vary from person to person and are not guaranteed.
What to expect during your session
You settle in comfortably while we remove your makeup and assess your skin. The handpiece then glides over your face with a fresh sensation, often compared to a gentle swirl of water. The steps flow without pause: gentle exfoliation, suction-based extraction, then infusion of hydrating serums. The session, about 60 minutes long, is designed to feel relaxing; since it generally requires no recovery time, it fits easily into a day in Montreal.
Before and after your treatment: our advice
Before your session, arrive without makeup if possible and avoid strong exfoliants or self-tanner in the days leading up; let us know which active products you use at home. Afterwards, your skin feels fresh and hydrated: favour daily sun protection and gentle skincare for a day or two, and set scrubs aside. We tailor this advice to your skin during your consultation.
Hydrafacial through the Montreal seasons
In Montreal, skin lives through extremes: indoor heating and dry cold in winter, sun and humidity in summer. Hydrafacial can be done year-round, since it does not require avoiding daylight entirely the way some more intensive treatments do. It lends itself well to winter, to help dehydrated skin feel comfortable again, and to the lead-up to summer or an event, to revive the complexion's glow. Sun protection remains advised in every season.
Frequently asked questions
Does Hydrafacial hurt?
No, the treatment is generally described as comfortable and painless.
Is there any downtime?
Generally none: you can resume your activities immediately.
How often should I get a Hydrafacial?
It depends on your skin and goals; the rhythm is set during your consultation.
What is the difference between a Hydrafacial and a chemical peel?
Hydrafacial focuses on cleansing, extraction and hydration, with an immediate glow and generally no peeling. A chemical peel is a more targeted resurfacing treatment that can involve a few days of flaking skin. Your consultation helps determine which one best matches your goals.
Is Hydrafacial suitable for sensitive or darker skin tones?
The treatment suits most skin types and tones, including darker skin, as the exfoliation is gentle and the intensity is adjustable. If your skin is reactive, we adapt the serums and steps during your consultation.
Can I wear makeup after a Hydrafacial?
Ideally, let your skin breathe until the next day to make the most of the hydration. If you have an event that same day, light makeup applied with clean brushes is generally fine.
How many days before a wedding or event should I book my Hydrafacial?
It is often advised to plan the treatment two to four days before the event: the glow is immediate and your skin has time to settle calmly. If it is your first Hydrafacial, plan it a little earlier to see how your skin responds.
