HydraFacial

HydraFacial is a patented multi-step facial treatment performed with a specialized device that uses vortex suction technology to cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and infuse skin with serums — all in a single 30-minute appointment. Unlike traditional facials that require downtime or leave you red for hours, a HydraFacial leaves you with immediate visible results, zero redness, and zero recovery. Skin is cleaner, brighter, more hydrated, and smoother the moment you walk out. At Pristine, every HydraFacial is performed by a Florida-licensed esthetician using genuine HydraFacial equipment (not imitation “hydrodermabrasion” devices) and professional-grade HydraFacial boosters customized to your skin goals. It’s the single most-booked facial category at Pristine for a reason: it works, it’s fast, and it fits every schedule.

What Is a HydraFacial?

HydraFacial is a multi-step facial performed with a specialized device and proprietary serums. The treatment follows four distinct steps:

1. Step 1Cleanse + Peel — A gentle exfoliant is applied, combining glycolic and salicylic acids at professional concentrations. The HydraFacial device simultaneously cleanses and resurfaces, removing dead skin cells and prepping the skin for deeper work.
2. Step 2Extract + Hydrate — The signature vortex suction vacuum extracts blackheads, debris, and impurities from pores — without the pain, pinching, or bruising of manual extractions. Simultaneously, hydrating serum is delivered into the pores, flushing and replenishing the skin.
3. Step 3Infuse + Protect — Antioxidant-rich serums (including peptides and hyaluronic acid) are infused into the newly cleansed skin. Customized boosters are added at this step — the specific boosters selected depend on your skin goals (brightening, anti-aging, clarifying, etc.).
4. Step 4Finishing — Moisturizer, eye cream, and SPF are applied. You walk out with no redness, no peeling, and immediate glow.

Total time: 30 minutes for standard treatment. 45–60 minutes for advanced treatments with additional boosters, LED therapy, or lymphatic drainage add-ons.
