The HydraFacial at Gilluxe Aesthetics is a multi-step treatment—cleanse, gentle exfoliation, painless vortex extraction, then infusion of antioxidants and hyaluronic serums—customized per skin concerns. Sessions typically last 30–45 minutes with a brief consultation beforehand.

Yes. HydraFacial is well-suited for hyperpigmentation and sun-damaged skin because exfoliation and brightening serums help fade discoloration. Multiple treatments and medical-grade boosters improve outcomes; combine with sunscreen and in-clinic recommendations for optimal, lasting results.

Most clients notice improvement after one session, but a series of three to six treatments spaced four weeks apart produces more significant, lasting reduction in sun damage and hyperpigmentation. Maintenance sessions every 1–3 months help preserve results.

HydraFacial causes minimal, short-lived redness in some people, which usually resolves within a few hours. There is no significant downtime, so you can resume normal activities immediately; avoid intense heat or exfoliants for 24–48 hours as a precaution.
