Clarity and hydration in one pass
A HydraFacial uses a vortex handpiece to cleanse, exfoliate and draw debris from the pores, then saturates the freshly prepped skin with hyaluronic acid and antioxidant serums. It is one of the gentler options among our medical facials, with a same-day glow and no recovery period.

What a HydraFacial session looks like
The whole appointment runs 45 minutes to an hour, is non-invasive, and needs no anesthesia.
Skin evaluation and serum selection
Dr. Mikki evaluates your skin’s health and condition and confirms a HydraFacial is the right fit. Your skin is cleaned and the serum is matched to your skin type before the handpiece is used.
Cleanse
The vortex tip deeply cleanses and exfoliates with a gentle peel, uncovering a new layer of skin. No numbing and no anesthesia are needed at any point.
Extract
Gentle suction draws impurities out of the pores through the same tip, so congestion clears without hand-squeezing or manual pressure.
Hydrate
The skin’s surface is saturated with intense moisturizers and the personalized serum chosen at step one. Most patients notice a visible difference almost immediately.
No anesthesia, no recovery window
A HydraFacial is non-invasive and needs no numbing. You may notice redness for a short period, then you can resume routine activities right after the procedure. Individual results vary.
A medical-grade device, not a spa scrub
A HydraFacial standardizes cleansing, extraction and serum delivery through one handpiece. When your skin needs more than surface care, Dr. Mikki may recommend chemical peels instead.

HydraFacial compared with DiamondGlow and JetPeel
All three are non-invasive facials and they are not interchangeable. The difference is how each one exfoliates and what it is built to do afterward.

|---|---|---|---|
| Technology | HydraFacial:Vortex-fusion system with patented HydroPeel tips | DiamondGlow:A diamond-tip wand for physical exfoliation | JetPeel:High-pressure jet streams of saline and oxygen, with no direct contact |
| How it exfoliates | HydraFacial:Gentle chemical exfoliation combined with vacuum suction | DiamondGlow:Mechanical exfoliation with a diamond-tip device | JetPeel:Pressurized air and liquid, with no physical abrasion |
| Serum delivery | HydraFacial:Proprietary boosters and serums, including antioxidants and hyaluronic acid | DiamondGlow:SkinMedica serums tailored to specific concerns | JetPeel:Customized serums including vitamins, hyaluronic acid and anti-aging peptides |
| Best suited to | HydraFacial:Deep cleansing, hydration, brightening and improving skin texture | DiamondGlow:Resurfacing, refining texture and targeting stubborn skin concerns | JetPeel:Oxygenation, lymphatic drainage and very sensitive or compromised skin |
Comfort, safety and the days after
Why a HydraFacial is gentle
- Non-invasive, and the treatment needs no anesthesia at any stage.
- Suits all skin complexions and types, including sensitive skin.
- Milder serums can be swapped in where skin is reactive, so the session stays comfortable without losing effect.
- Dr. Mikki evaluates your skin’s health and condition before you book.
- Performed at a clinic led by a board-certified physician, not a walk-in spa.
What to expect afterward
- No downtime. Routine activities resume right after the procedure.
- Redness on the skin for a short period, which settles quickly.
- A visible difference almost immediately, then consistent improvement over the next few days.
- Results typically last five to seven days, which is why the treatment is repeated monthly.
- Individual results vary with skin type, and Dr. Mikki sets a realistic expectation at your first visit.
Who a HydraFacial is for
Dr. Mikki evaluates your skin at consultation and will say when something else fits better: dermaplaning when the issue is surface buildup and fine facial hair, or chemical peels when pigment and texture need exfoliation with more depth.
A good fit
- All skin complexions and types, including sensitive and reactive skin.
- Dullness, congestion, enlarged pores or rough surface texture.
- Wanting a same-day glow before an event with nothing to hide afterward.
- Happy to repeat monthly, since a single result holds for about five to seven days.
Not the right treatment
- Deeper pigment or acne scarring that needs resurfacing.
- Expecting one session to hold permanently. This is maintenance, not a resurfacing procedure.
- A skin condition Dr. Mikki flags at the evaluation as needing treatment before a facial.
Two things worth knowing before you book
A HydraFacial is maintenance, not resurfacing. The glow it gives holds for about five to seven days, which is why the treatment is repeated monthly. Every skin is different: Dr. Mikki evaluates your skin's health and condition first, and individual results vary.
Why patients keep the HydraFacial in their routine
These reflect common patient sentiment rather than verbatim quotes, and individual results vary.
I came in with dull, congested skin before a wedding and left glowing the same afternoon with no peeling or redness to hide. What I appreciated was that Dr. Mikki looked at my skin first and told me a HydraFacial was enough. Results may vary, but I have kept it in my routine since.
Same-day glow, zero downtime, and an honest read on what my skin actually needed.
Frequently asked questions
What is a HydraFacial?
A HydraFacial is a medical-grade hydradermabrasion treatment. A handpiece cleanses and exfoliates the skin, uses suction to extract debris from the pores, then infuses hydrating and antioxidant serums in one continuous pass. It treats dullness, congestion and rough texture without the abrasion of a manual facial.
Does a HydraFacial hurt?
Most patients describe the treatment as comfortable, closer to a cool massage than a scrub. There is no numbing required. Sensation varies by skin sensitivity, and Dr. Mikki adjusts suction and serum strength to what your skin tolerates.
What skin concerns does a HydraFacial address?
A HydraFacial helps with dullness, clogged pores, oiliness, uneven texture, and the look of fine lines through hydration. Boosters can target specific concerns such as brightening or congestion. It is a maintenance and glow treatment, not a resurfacing procedure.
Can I get a HydraFacial if I have sensitive skin?
Yes. A HydraFacial is gentle and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. The treatment is customized with mild serums to keep it comfortable and effective without irritation, and Dr. Mikki reviews your skin before choosing what goes on it.
How soon will I see results?
You will notice an immediate improvement in your skin’s glow, hydration and smoothness right after the treatment. Results typically last five to seven days, and regular sessions help maintain long-term skin health. Individual results vary with skin type and routine.
How often should I have a HydraFacial?
A HydraFacial is usually repeated about every month to maintain the result, and some patients schedule one ahead of an event. Dr. Mikki sets a cadence based on your skin type and goals at your first visit.
How is a HydraFacial different from dermaplaning or a chemical peel?
A HydraFacial cleanses, extracts and hydrates using water-based vortex technology with no recovery. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair and surface cells with a sterile blade. A chemical peel uses acids to exfoliate more deeply and can involve visible flaking. The three are often combined into a single treatment plan.
Is there any downtime after a HydraFacial?
There is no downtime. Skin may look slightly flushed for a short time, then settles to a brighter, hydrated finish. You can apply makeup and resume normal activity the same day.
Who performs the HydraFacial at Medrein?
A HydraFacial is performed by the licensed aesthetician who performs every facial at Medrein, including microneedling, dermaplaning and chemical peels. Dr. Haritha Mikkilineni, MD, a board-certified physician, evaluates your skin at consultation and confirms a HydraFacial fits your goals before you book.
Is a HydraFacial right for your skin?
Dr. Mikki reviews your skin, confirms candidacy, and sets a treatment cadence that fits your goals.
