HydraFacial in Brickell, Miami — The Resort-Spa Facial, Performed in a Medical Setting

HydraFacial works in three movements, each performed with a different spiral tip on the same handpiece:

1. Cleanse + Peel. A gentle vortex of cleansing solution lifts surface debris, followed by a mild glycolic-and-salicylic resurfacing serum that loosens dead skin without the sting or downtime of a traditional peel.
2. Extract + Hydrate. Painless vortex suction clears pores of blackheads, oil and congestion, while nourishing moisturizers are delivered at the same time. This is the step guests at luxury spas describe as "the tiny vacuum" — and the step that fills the clear collection jar you are shown at the end.
3. Fuse + Protect. The skin is saturated with a blend of antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid to plump, protect and seal in the glow.

In the Deluxe and Platinum tiers, a booster targets your specific concern — dullness, uneven tone, fine lines, congestion or redness — and LED light therapy (red for collagen support and calming, blue for breakout-prone skin) finishes the treatment. Because exfoliation, extraction and infusion happen in the same pass, the skin is never left stripped or irritated.

1. Skin assessment — Your provider reviews your skin, your routine, recent treatments and your goal for the visit, then selects the tier, serum strength and any booster or Perk.
2. Prep — Make-up and sunscreen are removed; the skin is cleansed and the treatment plan is confirmed with you.
3. Cleanse + Peel — The first spiral tip exfoliates and loosens congestion with the resurfacing serum, adjusted to your skin's tolerance.
4. Extract + Hydrate — Vortex extraction clears the pores while hydrating serum is delivered. You will feel gentle suction and cool liquid; it does not hurt.
5. Booster and LED (Deluxe and Platinum) — The targeted booster is infused, followed by LED light therapy with eye protection. Platinum begins with lymphatic drainage and ends with an extended mask and neck-décolleté finish.
6. Fuse + Protect — Antioxidant and peptide serums are infused; moisturizer and SPF are applied, and you are shown the collection jar.
7. Plan — Most patients book monthly to maintain results; your provider suggests the cadence and any pairings.

• No downtime. Mild flushing for an hour or two is normal
• Avoid make-up for the rest of the day if you can, and heavy sweating, saunas and chlorine for 24 hours

Immediate radiance, smoother texture and visibly clearer pores after one session; hydration and glow last about a week. With monthly treatments, patients typically see a cumulative improvement in tone, fine lines, congestion and overall skin health. Individual results vary.

• HydraFacial vs. a traditional facial: a traditional facial relies on manual extractions and the aesthetician's hands; HydraFacial extracts with painless vortex suction while infusing serums, which is why results are more consistent and there is no post-facial redness.
• HydraFacial vs. a chemical peel: a peel resurfaces more deeply and may involve days of flaking; HydraFacial uses a very mild resurfacing serum with no visible peeling. Many patients alternate the two.
• HydraFacial vs. microneedling: microneedling stimulates collagen below the surface for texture and scars over a series; HydraFacial works at the surface for immediate clarity and hydration. They pair well — HydraFacial two weeks before or after microneedling.
• HydraFacial vs. The No Filter Facial: our signature facial builds on a HydraFacial with lymphatic facial massage and a custom three-to-five-step protocol designed around your concerns — the choice when you want the full ritual.
