Hydrafacial is a facial treatment that combines medical microdermabrasion, Glysal acid peeling and hydration in one treatment. Your skin looks immediately healthier, younger and more radiant after the treatment.

Directly after the treatment, an improvement in the skin is visible: it looks more radiant, cleaner, plumper and better supplied with blood.

Depending on your wishes, we offer 45, 60, 75 and 90-minute treatments. We are happy to help you find the ideal treatment for you.

No, a Hydrafacial is not painful.

The treatment has very few side effects; a slight redness may appear directly after the treatment. A slight feeling of tension may occur. In rare cases, the skin may peel slightly for a few days.

Directly after the treatment you should bear the following in mind:

• Avoid direct sunlight in the first few days after the treatment and apply SPF 50 sun protection.
• Avoid abrasive products or peelings within one week.
• Avoid pulling or picking at the skin, especially if slight peeling occurs.

You can find the current prices on our Hydrafacial price list on this page. This depends on the individual starting situation and the desired treatment result. We recommend an interval of 4 to 6 weeks to achieve sustainable results.

Skin care does not end with the Hydrafacial but should be continued at home. For comprehensive and long-lasting results, the use of effective, treatment-maintaining products is essential. We are happy to advise you in this regard.
