What Is HydraFacial?

Before we compare the Deluxe and Platinum versions, let’s first understand what HydraFacial is. A HydraFacial is a non-invasive facial treatment that uses a patented Vortex-Fusion technology to cleanse, exfoliate, extract, hydrate, and protect the skin in one session. It’s loved for its ability to provide instant results with no downtime making it suitable for all skin types.

HydraFacials use a combination of gentle suction, serums, and a vortex device to deliver deep hydration while removing dead skin cells and impurities. It's a 3-in-1 facial that improves skin texture, tone, and radiance. It is especially popular for tackling issues like fine lines, acne, hyperpigmentation, and clogged pores.

HydraFacial Deluxe: A Step Up From the Basic Bliss

The HydraFacial Deluxe is a more advanced version of the basic HydraFacial treatment. While still maintaining the core benefits—cleansing, exfoliating, extracting, hydrating, and protecting—it includes an additional treatment for a more targeted skin enhancement.

Here’s what you can expect with the HydraFacial Deluxe:

• Cleansing & Exfoliation: Just like the basic HydraFacial, the Deluxe treatment begins with a gentle cleanse and exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and prep the skin for deeper penetration of the serums.

• Extraction: The device then uses gentle suction to extract dirt, oil, and debris from the pores. This step is especially beneficial for people dealing with blackheads or acne-prone skin.

• Hydration: After extraction, your skin is infused with potent hydrating serums designed to moisturize and plump the skin, leaving it looking fresh and glowing.

• Add-On Treatment: The HydraFacial Deluxe includes an additional booster serum tailored to address specific skin concerns such as fine lines, hyperpigmentation, or acne. Your provider will discuss which booster serum will be best for your skin. Options include Vitamin C, Retinol, Extra Hydration, Anti-aging, Rozatrol, Restore, Acne-Purify, Radiant Glow, etc. There's many to choose from!

• LED Light Therapy: LED Red and/or Blue Light Therapy helps to reduce inflammation, stimulate collagen production, and improve skin tone and texture. 

• Protection: The treatment finishes with a soothing layer of antioxidant-rich serums that protect and calm the skin.

HydraFacial Platinum: The Ultimate Treatment Experience

So, what is the difference between the Hydrafacial Deluxe and Hydrafacial Platinum? The HydraFacial Platinum is considered the gold standard in HydraFacial treatments offering a more comprehensive and luxurious experience. It builds upon the benefits of the HydraFacial Deluxe with a few extra steps that give your skin the ultimate indulgence and rejuvenation:

• All the Benefits of the Deluxe Treatment: Like the Deluxe, the Platinum treatment includes all of the core HydraFacial steps—cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, a booster serum to address your specific skin concerns, and LED Light Therapy.

• Lymphatic Drainage: One of the key differences in the Platinum treatment is the lymphatic drainage step, which is performed at the start of the facial. Lymphatic drainage is a gentle massage technique that helps to detoxify the skin and reduce puffiness. By promoting the flow of lymph, it aids in the removal of toxins and excess fluids, leaving the skin looking more sculpted and less swollen.

• The Platinum treatment might also feature more personalized, high-end boosters to address advanced skin concerns like deeper wrinkles, skin texture, or hyperpigmentation.
