I am interested in having a course of Hydrafacial to treat my rosacea. I have slight acne on my cheeks also

Question

I've been told that to get the most benefits from HydraFacial I should have a course of treatments, how frequently should I have them? I've been told weekly for 6 weeks.

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis.  We see atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to discuss the best treatment options for your type of skin. .

Great question!  The Hydrafacial will help improve the overall appearance of the redness and breakouts you are experiencing with the Rosacea. I recommend doing Hydrafacial once a month on a regular basis to get the best results. Hope this helps!

Hydrafacial can help with redness of the skin, but we typically recommend IPL to help treat rosacea. A combination of the two treatments would work wonders for your skin.
Best of luck!

You are right!Hydrafacial MD technology is great on the skin, and can help with the redness.Weekly interval treatments is too frequent, though.Your skin should rest in between treatments. Two week intervals will be the most aggressive I would recommend to start.Best. Dr Brecht
