What Makes Hydrafacial Special 

Hydrafacial isn’t just a facial; it’s a complete skin rejuvenation treatment. Unlike basic facials that mainly clean and lightly exfoliate the surface, Hydrafacial works below the skin’s surface, providing deep cleansing, hydration, and nutrient infusion all in one session. 

Here’s why it stands out: 

• All-in-One Treatment: Cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, and hydrates your skin. 

• Advanced Technology: Uses Skinwave’s vortex-fusion system to deliver serums deep into your skin. 

• Targets Multiple Concerns: Fine lines, acne, hyperpigmentation, dullness, and enlarged pores. 

• Safe for All Skin Types: Even sensitive or acne-prone skin. 

• Immediate Results: Skin looks smoother, brighter, and hydrated right after the session. 

The Hydrafacial isn’t just a one-time glow, it’s a treatment designed to support long-term skin health and radiance. 

 

How Hydrafacial Works at Lotus Laser Aesthetics 

At Lotus Laser Aesthetics, we keep the process simple, effective, and comfortable. Here’s what happens step by step:

Deep Cleansing and Exfoliation

We start by gently removing dead skin cells, excess oil, and surface impurities. This step reveals a brighter, fresher layer of skin and prepares it to absorb nourishing serums more effectively. Clients are always impressed at how clean and refreshed their skin feels immediately after this step.

Gentle, Painless Extractions

Using advanced vortex technology, the Hydrafacial clears out clogged pores without harsh scraping or discomfort. Blackheads, whiteheads, and congestion are removed safely, leaving your skin smooth and visibly clearer. Unlike traditional extraction methods, there’s no redness, no pinching, and no irritation.

Hydration and Nutrient Infusion

This is where Hydrafacial really shines. Specialized serums are infused deep into your skin, delivering: 

• Hyaluronic acid for hydration and plumpness 

• Peptides to support firmness and elasticity 

• Antioxidants for protection against environmental damage 

• Brightening agents for a radiant glow 

Your skin doesn’t just look hydrated; it feels rejuvenated, soft, and refreshed. 

Optional Electrocurrent or Light Therapy Boost 

For clients seeking an extra boost, we can add light or electrocurrent therapy to the Hydrafacial. This optional step helps: 

• Increase serum absorption 

• Stimulate collagen production 

• Improve elasticity and firmness 

• Calm inflammation and support overall skin health 

It’s a small addition that can make a noticeable difference for long-term results. 

What to Expect During a Hydrafacial 

Hydrafacial is gentle, relaxing, and completely non-invasive. Most clients feel a slight suction and cooling sensation during the treatment. Some may notice a mild tingling if electrocurrent or light therapy is used but it’s completely manageable, and we adjust settings to ensure your comfort. 

Sessions usually take about 20–30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Face treatments are the most popular, but you can also choose chest, back, shoulders, or other areas where your skin could use a boost. 

After your session, your skin may look instantly brighter, smoother, and more hydrated. There’s no downtime, and you can apply makeup or resume your daily activities immediately. 

Why Hydrafacial Delivers Noticeable Results 

 Hydrafacial goes beyond a standard facial to provide results you can truly see and feel. Here’s why our clients love it: 

• Works deeper than the surface for lasting improvements 

• Instantly brightens and hydrates your skin 

• Smooths skin texture and refines pores 

• Clears congestion and reduces blemishes 

• Helps fade pigmentation and discoloration 

• Safe and effective for all skin types 

• No irritation, no redness, and no downtime 

• Provides consistent, repeatable results 

Many clients notice visible changes after just one session, and with regular treatments, their skin continues to improve over time. 

Pre-Care & Post-Care Tips 

To get the most out of your Professional Hydrafacial, we recommend:
