The HydraFacial Process
The amazing 4-in-1 Vortex Technology used for a HydraFacial delivers 4 steps of skin rejuvenation:
- Exfoliation. Hydradermabrasion and gentle suction remove the outer layer of dead skin cells, sebum, and dirt.
- Peel. Your skin is infused with a specific serum for a gentle but effective peel.
- Extraction. After loosening up all the dirt and debris, the next serum provides a deeper cleanse of pores.
- Vortex-Fusion. Your skin is infused with a hydrating antioxidant serum.

Hydration is the foundation for healthy, radiant skin. Irritation of the skin has been proven to increase the signs of aging. The HydraFacial is a hydrating and non-irritating treatment designed to restore your skin to its healthy and hydrated state.
The HydraFacial treatment is designed for all skin types. Even the most sensitive skin easily tolerates the HydraFacial treatment. You can even have a HydraFacial if you have acne or several other skin issues. But even with its almost universal appeal, you may want to avoid having a HydraFacial if you have a rash, sunburn, or a more severe acne outbreak. Ask your Dream Spa Medical provider to take a close look at your treatment area to ensure you’re ready for a soothing, cleansing HydraFacial.
The HydraFacial treatment is a fast, efficient treatment that is part of an overall facial experience lasting 45 minutes to 1 hour. There is no discomfort during the procedure—it is often described as feeling like a cool paintbrush moving slowly over the face. You may apply makeup and return to your normal activities right after the treatment since there is no downtime.
Pre- & Post-Care Instructions for HydraFacial in Brookline
- It is best to avoid direct sun exposure or tanning beds for a few days prior to your appointment. It is not a necessity, as we are able to tailor our ingredients to your skin and help it to heal from any kind of adverse reaction to the sun, but it is always best practice to be mindful of your sun exposure. Not having visible sun exposure will also allow your provider to incorporate more active ingredients into your facial, allowing for an elevated outcome.
- If your skin tends to be more on the sensitive side, it is best to avoid using active ingredients, such as acids, retinols, or topical prescriptions, 2 to 4 days prior to your appointment. The exception to this would be if you are using our suggested Environ Vitamin A treatment cream or serum (Youth Essentia A or Skin Essentia A). These products should always be used leading up to your treatment.
- If your skin falls into a “normal” range or if you already have an established treatment plan, you may continue with your normal home care routine.
- Avoid waxing, bleaching, or depilatory use 4 days prior to your appointment.
- If you are prone to Herpes Labialis outbreaks, we suggest pre-treating with an antiviral medication for 2 days leading up to your treatment and 2 days post-treatment. Dream Spa Medical is happy to provide you with a prescription for this medication, assuming that you are a candidate for this prescription.
- We always suggest hydrating as much as possible prior to any treatment at Dream Spa Medical. It is a great way to help your body function at its best and will help to accelerate your healing time as well as enhance results.
- Mild redness may occur, and it will resolve quickly without the need for extra treatment or product.
- Your provider may opt to have you avoid certain acids (glycolic, salicylic, etc), retinol products (Rx or over-the-counter), or topical prescriptions, such as antibiotic or steroid creams, for up to 5 days following your facial if your treatment was sensitizing.
- It is best to protect your new, glowing skin by avoiding direct sun exposure or use of tanning beds for a few days post-treatment.
- Avoid waxing, bleaching, or depilatory use for at least 5 days.
- Always use a physical protectant SPF (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) and reapply throughout the day. We strongly recommend ISDIN Erytofona Actinica as a base in the morning and ISDIN Mineral brush for reapplying throughout the day.
- You may proceed with any cosmetic procedures or injectable treatments immediately following your facial. In fact, we encourage you to do so. We feel that working on freshly exfoliated and appropriately cared-for skin responds so much better to further enhancements.
Patients with active acne may experience a flare-up, or purging, post-treatment. Proper home care and compliance will be crucial for managing it.
This typically happens in your initial visits, but with consistency, trust, and compliance, this will not continue, and you will have the clear skin that you deserve!
