Hydrafacial®

Your skin deserves a spa day of its own. Plastic Surgery Center of the South recommends a Hydrafacial at our metro Atlanta med spa in Marietta, GA, serving Roswell, Woodstock, Smyrna, Sandy Springs, and beyond.

Much more than an ordinary day spa facial, Hydrafacial is a high-tech skin rejuvenation treatment performed with specialized equipment and personalized to your unique skincare needs and concerns. Both relaxing and rejuvenating, Hydrafacial improves the health, appearance, and texture of your skin. 

What Are the Benefits of a Hydrafacial?

Hydrafacial addresses a variety of concerns that can be specifically addressed with the help of specialized booster serums. Skin conditions we commonly target include:  

• Wrinkles and fine lines 
• Reduced elasticity and lack of firmness 
• Dryness 
• Excess pigment and dark spots 
• Redness 
• Uneven texture 
• Acne and clogged pores 
• Enlarged pores 

Who Is a Good Candidate? 

Hydrafacial is gentle enough for people in their teens and up and for practically every skin type, tone, and texture. It is safe for the face and other areas like the upper back and chest.  

How It Works 

We use the proprietary Hydrafacial system and its specialized treatment wands during the Hydrafacial session. Each step below is personalized to the patient’s skin condition and concerns: 

Step 1. CLEANSE to wash away surface debris and exfoliate dull, damaged skin cells with hydra-dermabrasion (water pressure) and a gentle chemical peel. 

Step 2. EXTRACT sebum and impurities from clogged pores with painless vacuum pressure. 

Step 3. HYDRATE thirsty skin cells by infusing a customized booster serum. 

Hydrafacial doesn’t conceal or temporarily calm skin conditions; it penetrates beneath the surface to improve the skin’s health from within. 

What To Expect During Your Treatment

Our skilled esthetician will meet with you for a consultation to ensure Hydrafacial is right for you and help you choose your treatment options. You will then relax in our treatment chair as your skin is pampered. Treatments take about 30 minutes to complete.  

No downtime is needed so you can resume your regular routine, apply makeup, and head out to a special event right away. 

Can Hydrafacial be combined with other treatments? 

Hydrafacial pairs well with other facial rejuvenation treatments such as the following: 

• BOTOX® Cosmetic  
• Dermal fillers 
• SkinPen® microneedling

How Many Hydrafacials Does It Take To See Results?  

Most people notice the Hydrafacial glow and smoother, softer skin immediately after their first treatment. The gentle exfoliation, deep cleansing, and hydrating serums used in a Hydrafacial immediately gives the skin a vibrant, refreshed appearance.

Your provider may recommend multiple sessions for optimal results if you want to address specific skin concerns, such as fine lines, uneven skin tone, or congested pores. A series of treatments, spaced about 3 to 4 weeks apart, helps build on the initial results.

Many patients find that monthly Hydrafacial treatments maintain the complexion’s glow and smoothness, while supporting long-term skin health by consistently removing impurities, stimulating circulation, and boosting hydration. For the best results, we can recommend a treatment plan tailored to your unique skin needs and goals.

How Often Should You Get a Hydrafacial?  

We recommend making Hydrafacial a part of your monthly skincare routine because the results build on each other.
