The Hydrafacial Process
01
Consultation
Before your HydraFacial in Chicago, you'll meet with one of our providers for a skin consultation. We will discuss any concerns you have about your skin, as well as what you’d like to accomplish.
02
Treatment
Your aesthetician will begin by using a vortex cleansing and hydra-peel tip on the HydraFacial wand to gently cleanse and exfoliate your skin. This will remove dead skin cells and open up your pores.Â
Next, we will change the tip on the wand to one that delivers a light and gentle chemical peel. A mix of salicylic and glycolic mix is used to loosen debris deep in your pores. Unlike other chemical peels though, the ones used in a HydraFacial do not cause any side effects such as redness of the skin.
03
Results
You’ll be able to see and feel results from the HydraFacial immediately. It is also mild enough that we can combine it with other treatments during the same visit.
