HydraFacial (Level 3)

We know that variations in skin texture, hydration and surface build-up 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 (Level 3). During consultation, a practitioner will assess your concerns, review your medical history and discuss whether this cosmetic procedure or another option may be appropriate.

HydraFacial (Level 3) is a cosmetic facial performed in a clinical setting and may include lymphatic-style techniques, cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, 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 surface congestion

  • the appearance of skin texture variations

  • the appearance or feel of skin hydration

  • the appearance of skin that looks less even

  • the appearance of temporary puffiness

These concerns are assessed during consultation to determine whether HydraFacial (Level 3), 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:

  • lymphatic-style techniques used in a cosmetic context

  • cleansing of the skin surface

  • exfoliation selected according to your skin type and tolerance

  • extraction using the HydraFacial device

  • 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, device settings and LED parameters are determined according to your skin type, tolerance, treatment history and overall plan.

In some cases, your practitioner may recommend a different approach or no procedure.
