Hi there! Thank you for your picture and question. It looks as if the suction on the Hydrafacial machine was to high and it caused these broken capillaries to come up. I would recommended doing a laser treatment by the GentleMax Pro to target the broken capillaries. The laser works by using a concentrated beam of energy to heat the capillaries under the skin to disappear. Normally you can see results with 1 treatment but it can take up to 3 treatments to get desired results. Good luck!

It looks as though you simply have superficial capillary formation likely from the extraction process which can happen depending on skin type.  IPL laser would be helpful for this to help even the skin tone.

I have to admit, I've never heard this before. I can think of no reason why that would happen because that would involve the facial nerve since it supplies the muscles of the face. It is highly unlikely that a Hydrafacial caused trauma to the facial nerve. One could develop fasiculations (spasms) if the facial nerve was irritated or damaged, but he intensity of the Hydrafacial unit is not strong enough to cause that. I understand your thinking, but it remains that the Hydrafacial unit is not going to do that.Something else is going on to cause your spasms and without talking to you and examining you, it would be a challenge to tell you what is really happening. For example, if you've ever had or are developing Bell's Palsy, you could have accompanying muscle spasms in your face. There are other causes as well. As far as the electrical pain in your face and development of visible capillaries, that is probably related to the Hydrafacial unit having the suction too strong. Have you contacted the person who did your Hydrafacial?  I would suggest you doing that because there are options to help get rid of the capillaries and redness.
