HydraFacial (Level 2)
We know that variations in skin tone, texture and hydration are a natural part of life. We also understand that some people may wish to discuss options that address the appearance or feel of these changes.
Our clinic can provide consultations about HydraFacial treatments. During consultation, a practitioner will assess your concerns, review your medical history and discuss whether this cosmetic procedure or another option may be appropriate.
The HydraFacial level 2 is a cosmetic facial performed in a clinical setting that may include booster serums and LED therapy as part of a broader skin care plan.
Any change in appearance or skin feel varies between individuals and cannot be guaranteed.
What may be discussed in consultation
For suitable individuals, consultation may address concerns relating to:
the appearance of skin tone variations
the appearance of fine surface texture
the appearance or feel of skin hydration
the appearance of skin that looks less even
These concerns are assessed during consultation to determine whether a HydraFacial, another cosmetic procedure, or no procedure may be appropriate.
This cosmetic procedure is not used to diagnose or treat medical skin conditions.
How treatment planning works
During consultation, your practitioner will:
review your medical history, medications and relevant skin history
examine the treatment area and skin characteristics
discuss your concerns and expectations
explain the possible procedure, its limitations and alternative options, including choosing not to proceed
During the procedure, your practitioner may perform a sequence that can include:
cleansing of the skin surface
exfoliation selected according to your skin type and tolerance
application of booster serums selected for your skin and treatment goals
LED therapy where appropriate as part of the cosmetic treatment plan
Product choice, serum selection and LED parameters are determined according to your skin type, tolerance and treatment history. In some cases, your practitioner may recommend a different approach or no procedure.
Safety, Risks and Aftercare
All cosmetic procedures carry risks and may not be suitable for everyone.
Before any procedure is performed, your practitioner will:
