SKIN REJUVENATION
HydraFacial®
Deep Cleansing, Hydration & Instant Radiance
OUR APPROACH
Clearer skin starts with what you remove and what you restore.
HydraFacial® combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration in a single device-based treatment designed to refresh the skin without aggressive resurfacing.
At MajorGlow, treatment is tailored around what the skin needs at that visit, whether the priority is congestion, dehydration, uneven texture, or simply restoring a fresher, more balanced appearance.
The goal is not to strip or over-treat the skin. It is to remove buildup, replenish hydration, and leave the complexion feeling cleaner, smoother, and comfortably refreshed.
THE HYDRAFACIAL PROCESS
Three steps. One complete reset for the skin.
Cleanse + Peel
Gentle resurfacing lifts away dead skin cells and surface buildup while helping loosen impurities within the pores.
Extract + Hydrate
Vortex suction removes oil, debris, and congestion while hydrating solutions are delivered across the skin.
Fuse + Protect
Hydrating serums, antioxidants, and peptides are applied to replenish moisture and leave the complexion smoother and refreshed.
PERSONALIZED TO YOUR SKIN
More than one way to customize your HydraFacial.
HydraFacial® can be tailored with selected enhancements based on your skin condition, treatment goals, and the level of treatment chosen.
Lymphatic Drainage
May be incorporated to support temporary de-puffing and fluid movement before the cleansing steps.
Targeted Booster
A selected booster can be added to address specific priorities such as hydration, brightness, texture, or visible signs of aging.
LED Light Therapy
Red or blue LED may be incorporated into selected treatments depending on the skin concern being addressed.
WHO IT’S FOR
For skin that feels congested, dehydrated, or simply overdue for a reset.
HydraFacial® may be appropriate for adults looking to improve surface buildup, pore congestion, hydration, and overall skin clarity with little interruption to their routine.
WHAT IT IMPROVES
Clearer, smoother, better-hydrated skin.
Congested Pores

Gentle exfoliation lifts away dead skin cells and surface buildup, helping rough or uneven areas feel smoother.
Early Signs of Aging

Hydration and exfoliation can soften the appearance of dehydration-related fine lines while supporting a smoother, more refreshed complexion.
Blemish-Prone Skin
Deep cleansing and extraction can help reduce pore congestion and excess buildup that contribute to a less clear complexion.
HydraFacial® treatments are customized based on individual skin concerns and goals. Results vary between patients.
UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE
HydraFacial® or a traditional facial?
Both can support skin maintenance, but they work differently. HydraFacial® uses a device-based process for cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration, while a traditional facial is typically more hands-on and customized around manual techniques and topical products.
HydraFacial®
Uses device-assisted cleansing, vortex extraction, exfoliation, and hydration in a structured treatment sequence.
BEST FOR
Congestion · Dehydration · Texture · Immediate Refreshment
Traditional Facial
Uses manual cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, massage, masks, and selected skincare products based on the skin’s needs.
BEST FOR
Routine Maintenance · Relaxation · Customized Skincare · Surface Hydration
YOUR APPOINTMENT
What to Know
Minimal preparation. Very little interruption.
HydraFacial® is designed to refresh the skin with little downtime, but temporary redness or sensitivity can occur depending on your skin condition and the treatment selected.
Before Treatment
+
✧ 3–5 Days Prior | Consider pausing strong exfoliating products, retinoids, or acids if they tend to make your skin more sensitive.
✧ 24 Hours Prior | Avoid waxing, aggressive exfoliation, or other treatments that may leave the skin irritated.
✧ Day of Treatment | Arrive with clean skin and minimal makeup when possible.
✧ Skin Check | Tell your provider about active irritation, rashes, infection, sunburn, or any recent laser, peel, or resurfacing treatment.
After Treatment
+
✧ Keep It Gentle | Use a mild skincare routine and avoid strong exfoliating products or retinoids if the skin feels sensitive.
✧ Hydration | Continue with gentle moisturizers to support skin comfort and maintain hydration.
✧ Sun Protection | Minimize unnecessary sun exposure and use appropriate sun protection.
✧ Makeup | Makeup can often be resumed soon after treatment if the skin feels comfortable, although your provider may recommend waiting if sensitivity is present.
Timing Your Treatment
+
Hydrafacial® is often chosen before events because results are visible quickly and recovery is usually minimal.
If you are preparing for a wedding, photographs, or another important occasion, allowing a few days before the event gives any temporary redness or sensitivity time to settle.
Results & Maintenance
+
✧ Immediately After | Skin may appear cleaner, smoother, more hydrated, and refreshed.
✧ Following Days | Hydration and surface smoothness may remain noticeable as the skin settles.
✧ Ongoing Maintenance | Treatment frequency varies according to skin condition, goals, and the type of Hydrafacial® performed.
✧ Long-Term Care | Hydrafacial® can be incorporated into a broader skincare routine alongside daily sun protection and appropriate at-home products.
Skin Maintenance, Refined
HydraFacial® can be simple, but that does not mean every treatment should be identical.
At MajorGlow, cleansing, extraction, hydration, and optional enhancements are considered according to your skin condition, priorities, and how your skin is responding over time.
The goal is not to chase a temporary glow at every visit. It is to support cleaner pores, balanced hydration, and consistent skin maintenance without over-treating the skin.
Clearer skin. Consistent care.
