Hydrafacial isn't meant to hurt--it actually feels more like a deep cleanse and a cool rush of hydration. The suction is gentle, the serum feels refreshing, and there's no rough scrubbing or harsh exfoliation involved. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable it is and often say it feels more like a skin treatment they'd choose for relaxation rather than recovery. Once the serums are infused, the skin just feels clean, hydrated, and smooth--not tight or irritated.

What does the suction feel like?

You'll feel a light vacuum sensation and gentle gliding over the skin--it's more refreshing than intense, and never harsh.

Is there any stinging or burning?

Not usually. If patients do feel a little warmth or tingling, it's generally very light and fades quickly.

Is numbing required?

No. This treatment is designed to be comfortable without numbing.

Will skin be sensitive afterward?

You might get a bit of warmth or a light flush afterward, but it goes away quickly and most patients don't even notice it once they leave.
