For 2022 I vowed better skin care. I’m scheduled for a HydraFacial this week and Microneedling w/PRP next month. I will alternate every month. I also treated myself for Christmas with a LED light therapy mask, which I will do 2x week. Here’s to better skin in 2022! 🍷
@@tinatschka3217 I am LOVING my results! Not a fan of HydraFacial-it’s just too expensive for a very short “glow” result (basically until I wash my face again). I put that $$ into PRP under eye injections (love!) and had a Microneedling with PRF session (love!). Now I basically use my LED face mask maybe twice a week. I don’t feel the need to do anything else any time soon, probably in Spring I will do a facial Prf refresh. The nice (and downfall) thing is the best results aren’t “immediate” but with each passing week I looked more refreshed and less “tired” especially under my eyes. Absolutely a fan of the injections! 🌹 (I have to add that I turned 60 last week and several people asked to see my Driver’s License-they didn’t believe me! Lol) I’ve always been a sunscreen freak and I don’t smoke or drink alcohol so I do believe a relatively healthy lifestyle helps, too.
@@lindat1317 When you say HydraFacial is good until your next face wash, you mean you basically ruined the positive of the HydraFacial by washing your face, and clogging pores again, can you explain?
I’ve had several and I love them. The skill of the esthetician is key. I go to a former nurse turned esthetician who is amazing. I get them every three months for maintenance. I also get red light treatment at the same time. I’m 66 and have a few wrinkles, some hyperpigmentation, and larger pores on my nose. I was afraid of peels because my skin can be sensitive, Do it, you’ll love it.
@@anatucker3806 mine charges $175 each or if you prepay for three sessions you save $75. She is a retired RN and looks at skin care as a health issue. She does an amazing job and can spot issues before they turn into something bad.
I had my first hydra facial a month and like you I was surprised that my sensitive rosacea prone skin did not get too red or aggravated. I think anyone would love it!
I love hydrafacial. Very informative video. Thank you ☺️. There is one more step - Lymphatic Massage. It is usually the first step in the highest tier protocol. It helps with puffiness and lifts and sort off de-bloats the face. I wake up without any puffiness around my eyes for couple of weeks after the treatment.
I'm a guy with mild acne sometimes, and I have a friend who does this out of her esthetician practice. I decided to take her up on the hydrafacial offer, and I loved it! Because of my problem with adult acne, she used a high-frequency device at one point, as well as some products specific for acne during the hydrafacial. I freaking loved it. The only drawback is of course the price (even after the friends & family discount), but I've already been back for a second one :)
I have been getting a couple hydrafacials a year for 3 years now & wow! It’s made a difference in my skin. I’m obsessed & can’t wait to book my next hydrafacial. I’ve enjoyed this video, makes me want to book my next one asap ! Lol
So I am about to start doing hydrafaicials in the office I work at. I found this video very helpful, with helping me to explain the treatment better to my patients. I am excited but nervous at the same time for when I start to do the treatment.
@@purplejasper I don’t aspire to be a TH-camr although I appreciate those that are excellent. I was being candid. I’ve had hydra facials for years and the summary WAS simply that-a summary. I don’t think her intent was to go into great detail.
@@purplejasper we all have the privilege of expressing our opinions just as you felt the need to express yours. I think we can go on our way now, I hope.
I LOVE hydrofacials. They’ve made a huge difference in my skin. I have always taken good care of my skin and I am 54 years old. I have had four hydro facials done and I won’t stop having them. Just on an ending note… most clinical / medical spas have packages that can help to lower the cost if you’re interested in going that route. I am also on Coumadin for a blood disorder and I have never had any bruising or other issues when having them. I think they’re totally relaxing and worth it.
Wow your timing is incredible! I just booked a signature facial at a spa I've been wanted to go to and noticed they had hydrafacials on their list of services. I wasn't sure what that service entailed, but now I'm glad I do. I'll probably try it out if my signature facial goes well!
Just had my first hydrafacial on Saturday. My husband keeps raving about how good my skin looks and is on board with me getting one every month now 😂 It was shocking looking at my nose afterwards. I have always had such a hard time with blackheads/big pores on my nose. I didnt see one blackhead after my facial. My skin has never looked this bright and toned!
@@gracekelly5547 I go to a very reputable medical skin spa in Raleigh, NC. Prior to buying a package, I paid per facial and the amount was $199.00 The spa that I go to offers a package that allows you to get a package of 12. They charge your card on file, once per month and the price I pay now is $169.00 - if I want to go up a single level, that would include the extra treatment or serum that she talked about. I was totally thinking of going up to the next level because it’s just $209.00 and that includes the extra serum which is just 10$ more than I already was paying.
thank you! we need reviews of the more common procedures. I get hydrafacial every month- its good. Its not life changing but just good and quick face treatment
Def a thumbs up for this lovely, thanku for well-expressed video .. I had my 1st ever hydro facial yesterday, didn't know what to expect however I did not regret it .. this one involved a 15min led light thing.. the facial was 1 hr.. involved everything u mentioned with additional head, shoulder and neck massages.. def be returning
I had my first about six weeks ago and am due for my 2nd this coming week. I really felt my results were much better than a traditional facial. Haven't tried any boosters yet but will probably add an anti-aging one at some point. I've actually got pretty good skin for 65 years of age but am always looking for ways to keep it looking good for as long as possible.
This will clear out your pores and give you a light exfoliation. Clear and Brilliant will work deeper on the skin stimulating elastin and collagen synthesis as well as evening out pigmentation and a deeper exfoliation once the sandpapery skin sloughs off. ☺️
@@megans8979 Absolutely. This of hydra facial as routine maintenance and keeping your pores nice and clear and think of clear & brilliant or fraxel as and anti-aging treatment to boost collagen and elastin production, even out skin tone and texture.
I had a hydrafacial about a year ago and I liked it but I didn’t notice a big difference on my skin. I had a vampire facial and I loved it. My skin was amazing for a long time. It was worth the $500 and the pain😀
The hydrafacial made little difference to my skin not more than a at home exfoliator aha scrub. I think its more useful to people that dont exfoliate and look not much after their skin .
I think consistency is key to noticing and maintaining results and I think she said most go once a month which is what I am doing. I have had four - I’m 54 years old and I think for me, it’s been amazing.
I’ve had one hydra facial & absolutely loved it! I thought it was very relaxing. The aesthetician said it would feel like a small soft tongue was licking my face lol & I think it did feel like that; not in a gross way though. I was on vacation when I got mine & am waiting for a spa in my hometown to get the special machine so I can get another one . It was a “next level “ facial. Loved it!
So informative! I love your content Dr. Ellis, because I find myself having very similar skin to yours, and therefore feel like everything you recommend works for me. A few months ago I got my first hydra-facial and I went with the medium percentage of acids because I am used to using AHAs and BHAs and because I’m religious with my sun protection. After the treatment my skin felt and looked incredible - super glowy and soft. However, a few days later my entire face started feeling like sand paper and stayed that way for about a week. I couldn’t find a lot of reliable information about it, but my guess was that maybe the esthetician over exfoliated my face. Do you know why the sand paper effect happens and if it’s normal or does it mean that they were too rough with my skin? I made sure not to use any retinol and acids 10 days before and after the treatment, I wore a hat everyday after getting the facial and reapplied my sunscreen every two hours. I’d love to get another one in a few months and want to know what to expect. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! Thank you so much!
Such a good question! So because you had exposure to some exfoliating acids, the sandpaper feeling you experienced is most likely the effects of the chemical peel! Sometimes with exposure to AHAs and BHAs you won’t have visible “peeling” but you do have increased exfoliation on a more microscopic level which can feel like sandpaper. Hope that helps!
@@DrSamEllis Thank you so much for the clarification! Just to make sure I understand, is that a bad thing, a good thing or neither, haha? For example, next time I get my hydra-facial can I do the same acid percentage or should I go lower?
Not a bad thing unless you found it uncomfortable! It’s just the expected result from the peel in some people. You could keep the same strength or go lower and see if you like that outcome better.
Just got one done today and love my results every time. I alternate with micro-needling PRP. I also bought the night cream you suggested and like it a lot.. 🥰
Very informative. I love all of your information and product recommendations I'm graduating as an Advanced Esthetician in a couple months. Can I ask what brand LED devices is your Esti using? They look easy to maneuver for the calming effect.
Great video! New subscriber! My center offers several “boosters” -so confusing! How many can I get? They offer like, 8. 🤪 Fine lines and improved texture are main goals. I was looking at Growth Factor, TRIHEX (?), and a eye serum. But I’d like Vit C and a Murad retinol booster, too. At what point is too much? I know less is more so it’s hard to just pick two or three…
Thank you for this video. I’m getting my first one done this week, so excited for that. Is there any booster the add for hyperpigmentation? I have it on my mustache area I would really love something to help with it.
I live in Chicago and can’t find any place that’ll do a basic facial with extractions. They are like “we can only do extractions if you get a hydra facial”. Probably because they want more $$$$
I've only had one. It was nice but I think I'd rather put the money toward a treatment to help with PIH. Speaking of, I would love to hear your thoughts on the VI Peel.
Hie doctor😊 I am from India🇮🇳. I am 26, Actully i have pure virigin skin , didn't even use makeup yet. I have light pigmentation around my mouth area,it get a liltle dark in summers due to sun senstivity. I use home remedies to take care of my skin twice a week.I heard about hydra facial but didn't try anything yet. I am afraid of any chemical or mechanical treament over my face as i don't want worse side effects after treatment. So if you have time ma'am can you please suggest me about to take this treatment over my face or not.😊i will wait for your reply okie🤗🌿
This video was everything .. you explained from beginning to end of the hydra facial to the T. I absolutely love the hydra facial treatment.. my skin has never looked better 🥹
You don’t necessarily have to discontinue ahead of time! Just speak with whoever is doing the treatment and let them know your skincare regimen so they can make any adjustments that might be necessary.
dr sam--do you recommend cleansing the skin day-of or just throwing on sunscreen before the treatment? i do not want to cause any excess irritation if i don't have to !
I am so devastated as I was very excited after seeing your video and the comments, I had my first hydro facial today. I explained many times to the therapist that I have sensitive skin. After treatment completion, I have bruises on my face and neck, it seems like I have had a fight and someone has given me scratches. It was also for an event, I am not covering my face and neck. So embarrassing. I have got a cold ice pack as it is stinging. It seemed that I was an experiment, the volume speed must have been too high, and the therapist should have stopped immediately after realising or reduced the speed! So Hydra Facial is not for everyone, especially if you have sensitive skin! Won't do it again!
I’m an esthetician and I’ve always wondered if the suction from the Hydrafacial can cause telangiectasia to become worse. I have some many patients with broken capillaries and I’m afraid that a Hydrafacial would make those appear worse. Any thoughts?
I've had two hydrofacials and then went to another dermatologist and she told me that the device is spreading bacteria all over my face idk if that is true
Would someone with active Rosacea be a candidate, or should they first use the crema a their dermatologist prescribed to control it & get this treatment, after?
Yes. A normal scrub is ok. But honestly if you get much facials or peel often this treatment won't show much of a difference. It's for people that take not much care of their skin
@@theancientsancients1769 I don’t think that’s at all true. I take excellent care of my skin and I see improvement from hydrofacials….. I’m not sure who gave you that info or where you get that idea from that they’re for ppl who don’t take good care of their skin because that’s patently false.
Salicylic acid is aspirin. This is contraindicated during pregnancy and can cause teratogenicity, and pregnancy termination. I would not advise during pregnancy, unless the acids can be skipped
For 2022 I vowed better skin care. I’m scheduled for a HydraFacial this week and Microneedling w/PRP next month. I will alternate every month. I also treated myself for Christmas with a LED light therapy mask, which I will do 2x week. Here’s to better skin in 2022! 🍷

Hi my biggest worry would be getting broken capillaries from this treatment. I know with regular extractions you are at risk of broken capillaries.
you can ask the aesthetician to lower the settings on the machine so it's more gentle. The settings are very adjustable.
Great question that I wouldn’t have thought of! I get my first HydraFacial in 3 days. Will definitely ask about that! Thanks!

I am so devastated as I was very excited after seeing your video and the comments, I had my first hydro facial today. I explained many times to the therapist that I have sensitive skin. After treatment completion, I have bruises on my face and neck, it seems like I have had a fight and someone has given me scratches. It was also for an event, I am not covering my face and neck. So embarrassing. I have got a cold ice pack as it is stinging. It seemed that I was an experiment, the volume speed must have been too high, and the therapist should have stopped immediately after realising or reduced the speed! So Hydra Facial is not for everyone, especially if you have sensitive skin! Won't do it again!
That's not the hydrafacial, it's that you had an esthetician who didn't know what they were doing.
@@theittywitty hmmmmm
I’m an esthetician and I’ve always wondered if the suction from the Hydrafacial can cause telangiectasia to become worse. I have some many patients with broken capillaries and I’m afraid that a Hydrafacial would make those appear worse. Any thoughts?
I am too and yes, it can and does.
Maybe not having the suction too high?
I had my first hydra facial today and I feel like my blackheads are any different. I was hoping they were extracted out.
What is the difference between this and oxygen skin facial?
I have big facial pores. What reduces pore size? It has worsened with my age.
Am struggling for same. Did you try hydra facial?
I get dermalinfusions. How much different from Hydrafacial?
I've had two hydrofacials and then went to another dermatologist and she told me that the device is spreading bacteria all over my face idk if that is true
Would someone with active Rosacea be a candidate, or should they first use the crema a their dermatologist prescribed to control it & get this treatment, after?
Hi Dr.Sam Ellis, thanks for your content. I live in California, where can I get trained for Hydra facial? Thank you
I'm not sure if I have sensitive skin or just inflamed skin. Sometimes parts of my face is red and sometimes my whole face is red.
Did you try one ? Am having similar issues
@@tb4706 no I haven't, I now have really bad acne so I'm trying to stay away every thing 😭
When the times comes I am gonna get one done before my wedding?
Are hydrofacials ok if you’re on tretinoin?
My aesthetician asks me to stop using any exfoliants 5 days prior to the treatment
My skin doesn’t tolerate salicylic acid. Are there alternatives?
I have rosacea and my aesthetician uses Papain enzyme instead of bha/aha, she uses it on pregnant women too since it’s safe for them
when should you stop any tretinin creams or any skin care? how many days in advance
I saw you on the news. Great job! You need a good mic.
i have some active acne, can i have hydrafacial now? thanks
Can you do dermaplaning and hydrafacial at the same time? If so, which procedure is done first? TIA
I do Diamond Glow (similar to Hydrafacial) and I was surprised to hear "OMG I can breathe thru my face!" after a treatment.
Does it help with whiteheads???
Would you do this in combination with dermaplaning? Or is that too much fir the skin at once?
Done all the time!
Si you recommend add boosters or is not necessary?
Great video, Dr. Ellis! Should I stop using retinol & acids for a week prior to this facial? 😊
Yes. A normal scrub is ok. But honestly if you get much facials or peel often this treatment won't show much of a difference. It's for people that take not much care of their skin
@@theancientsancients1769 I don’t think that’s at all true. I take excellent care of my skin and I see improvement from hydrofacials….. I’m not sure who gave you that info or where you get that idea from that they’re for ppl who don’t take good care of their skin because that’s patently false.
Hi could you do a video on laser genesis?
I am diabetic with kidney disease am I allowed to have a hydra facial ?
Dr. Ellis can you do a video on Fribroblast please? 💕✨
Very informative
Salicylic acid is aspirin. This is contraindicated during pregnancy and can cause teratogenicity, and pregnancy termination. I would not advise during pregnancy, unless the acids can be skipped
Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid. In this situation I would not necessarily compare ingesting NSAIDs to applying a BHA topically.
