Advanced Skin Cleansing, Hydration & Glow
HydraFacial treatment for deep cleansing, exfoliation, and skin hydration in San Mateo
HydraFacial is a multi-step facial treatment designed to deeply cleanse the skin, remove impurities, and deliver intensive hydration.
Using patented vortex technology, the treatment simultaneously exfoliates, extracts debris from pores, and infuses the skin with antioxidant-rich serums.
Unlike traditional facials that rely on manual extraction or abrasive exfoliation, HydraFacial uses a controlled device to cleanse and hydrate the skin while maintaining comfort and precision.
Many San Mateo patients incorporate HydraFacial treatments into their regular skincare routine to maintain clear pores, balanced hydration, and a consistently refreshed complexion.
HydraFacial treatments are safe for all skin types and require little to no downtime, making them a convenient option for maintaining skin health throughout the year.

HOW HYDRAFACIAL WORKS
Step 1 —
Cleanse + Peel
Gentle exfoliation removes dead skin cells and surface debris while a mild resurfacing solution loosens impurities from pores.
A mild resurfacing solution helps loosen impurities without causing irritation or visible peeling.
Step 2 —
Extract + Hydrate
Using vortex suction technology, the device removes oil, debris, and congestion from pores while simultaneously infusing hydrating solutions into the skin.
This step helps purify pores while maintaining skin hydration.
Step 3 —
Fuse + Protect
Antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid are delivered into the skin to replenish hydration and support overall skin health.
The treatment leaves the complexion visibly smoother, brighter, and refreshed.
