Hydrafacial is a newer type of treatment where a light chemical peel, microdermabrasion, and facial are combined through an aqueous medium.  There really isn't a best timing of the facial.  In our office, we find that patients respond to hydrafacials on a monthly basis to help clear out skin and allow for deeper penetration of skin care products.  Hydrafacials will not remove darks spots, fine lines, blood vessels but are an excellent way of having a deep thorough facial procedure in the office.

When dealing with acne or discoloration, I also would recommend every other week for the 6 treatments.  Allowing the skin to recover and not to cause excessive irritation to the skin.  As long as you have the proper home care products to compliment the treatment.

If you are concerned with overall skin health, aging, dryness, or clogged pores then every 3-4 weeks is ideal. Again, having the proper skincare routine is key. Be sure you have a Vitamin C, Retinol and sunscreen as your basics.

Matthew Richardson, MD · Answer

Depending on what your specific skincare concerns are, Hydrafacials can be adjusted to cater to those needs.  A customized Hydrafacial can help treating skin conditions such as acne, pigmentation, dehydration, dullness, and overall skin tone and texture.  Results last about 2-3 weeks, and the treatments can be both refreshing, relaxing, and rejuvenating.  We typically recommend patients get Hydrafacial treatments at least monthly for skin care maintenance in conjunction with a medical-grade home skin care regimen.  I would recommend discussing any treatment plans with a physician specializing in facial aesthetics for all facial treatments.
All the best,

Treatments in a series are more effective than single treatments. You will still get great results going every other week. Good Luck!

Anatoli Freiman, MD · Answer

Facials can be done every other week and usually patients are very happy with results.  A series of treatments is required.
