Why is HydraFacial MD® good for my skin?
Hydration is the foundation of healthy, radiant skin. Irritation of the skin has been proven to increase signs of aging. The HydraFacial MD® is a hydrating and non-irritating treatment.
Am I a candidate for this treatment?
The HydraFacial MD® treatment is designed for all skin types. Even the most sensitive skin easily tolerates the HydraFacial MD® treatment. Fox Valley Plastic Surgery chooses specific treatment serums and/or customizes the treatment for each patient’s unique skin conditions and needs.
How long does the treatment take? Is there any downtime or pain involved?
HydraFacial MD® is a fast, efficient treatment that takes as little as 30 minutes. Patients may put on make-up and return to normal activities right after the treatment since there is no downtime.

What happens during the HydraFacial Skin Resurfacing Process?
Each treatment uses a series of HydroPeel® tips with multiple peeling edges to exfoliate the skin several times each pass, achieving better, more even results. The unique spiral design creates a vortex effect to easily dislodge and remove impurities while simultaneously introducing hydrating skin solutions with potent antioxidants. The process consists of five steps:
- Vortex Cleanse and Exfoliate: Skin is cleansed to remove any makeup and then the resurfacing wand is applied. During this step the tip is placed on the skins surface to physically exfoliate while delivering a rejuvenating solution to the skin to remove dead skin cells.
- Hydra Peel: A light peel is applied to the skin and left on for a few minutes. The peel softens impurities in the skin to make it easier to extract.
- Extractions: A clarifying solution is applied to congested areas while the vortex suction gently lifts out impurities deep down in the pores.
- Hydrate: The skin is bathed in an antioxidant and hyaluronic acid hydrating solution which plumps the skin and gives it a radiant glow.
- Protect: A hydrating mist is applied to the skin along with a moisturizing facial sunscreen.
Depending on their treatment objective, some patients enhance their treatments with dermaplaning to smooth the skin for better serum absorption, and/or add on HydraFacial proprietary serums for specific concerns. Dermabuilder™ serum, a neuro-inhibitor multi-peptide solution, addresses fine lines, skin tone evenness and texture. CTGF™ (Connective Tissue Growth Factor) serum is specifically designed to regenerate skin health by promoting collagen & elastin production, which helps diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
What results may be expected? How many treatments are needed to see results? How long do the results last?
Many clients report seeing visible skin refinement and an even, radiant skin tone after just one treatment. The smooth results and hydration may last 5 to 7 days or even longer. One treatment per month is recommended for improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, oily and congested skin.

Rejuvenation Stairway: The HydraFacial MD® takes non-invasive skin rejuvenation to a whole new level – even two levels above IPL. In clinical studies performed by leading U.S. doctors, the HydraFacial MD® was shown to provide better results than many other skin rejuvenation devices. Most importantly, the HydraFacial MD® is the only hydradermabrasion machine that uses the patented 4-in-1 Vortex Technology™.
