The HydraGlow
Our Most Transformative Facial Yet — Dermaplaning + Hydradermabrasion in One Luminous Treatment
Imagine stepping out of the treatment room with skin so smooth, so luminous, so undeniably alive — that the first thing you want to do is cancel every filter you've ever used on your phone. That feeling? That's exactly what we set out to create when we developed our newest signature facial: The HydraGlow.
We have been perfecting our craft for years, and we are beyond excited to finally introduce a treatment that we genuinely believe is the most transformative facial we have ever offered. The HydraGlow is not just another facial — it is a carefully engineered, dual-technique experience that combines two of the most effective professional skin exfoliation methods available today into a single, seamless session. The result is skin that looks and feels like the very best version of itself: polished, plump, clear, and absolutely radiant.
Whether you are preparing for a big event, battling dull or dehydrated skin, or simply ready to give your complexion the professional reset it deserves, The HydraGlow was designed with you in mind. Read on — we cannot wait to walk you through every step of this extraordinary new service.
What Is The HydraGlow?
The HydraGlow is our exclusive signature facial that pairs two complementary, clinically-respected techniques — dermaplaning and hydradermabrasion — in a single 60–75 minute treatment. Think of it as a two-act performance for your skin: the first act clears and refines the stage, and the second act floods it with deep, lasting hydration and clarity.
Dermaplaning delivers meticulous surface exfoliation, sweeping away dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (commonly called "peach fuzz") to reveal the fresh, smooth skin beneath. Hydradermabrasion then takes that newly revealed canvas and delivers a simultaneous deep-pore cleanse and serum infusion, flooding your skin with moisture at a level that simply would not be possible without that first, precise exfoliation step.
The synergy of combining both treatments is what makes the HydraGlow facial truly next-level. Together, they work in a way neither can achieve alone — delivering dual-layer exfoliation, amplified product absorption, and an instant, jaw-dropping glow that lasts well beyond your appointment.
Step 1: Dermaplaning — Your Skin's Fresh Start
Treatment Step One
We begin every HydraGlow session with professional dermaplaning — a technique that sounds more intimidating than it feels, we promise. Using a single-use, sterile surgical-grade blade held at a precise 45-degree angle, we gently and methodically glide across the surface of your skin in short, feather-light strokes. The blade meticulously lifts and removes the very top layer of dead skin cells (the stratum corneum) along with the fine vellus hair, or "peach fuzz," that sits on the surface of your face.
The experience itself? Most clients describe it as feeling like a gentle, warm shave — surprisingly relaxing, and completely pain-free. There are no chemicals, no heat, and no aggressive suction. Just a skilled hand, a precise tool, and a deeply satisfying exfoliation that you can actually feel working as we go.
The Myth We Need to Bust — Right Now
We hear this one every single week: "But won't my hair grow back thicker?" The short, science-backed answer is absolutely not. Dermaplaning removes only the fine, unpigmented vellus hair that naturally lives on your face. This hair has no follicle capable of producing thicker terminal hair. Shaving or scraping vellus hair does not alter its structure, thickness, pigment, or rate of regrowth — full stop. What you will notice is not thicker hair but smoother, more refined skin texture from the moment you leave the table.
The immediate results of dermaplaning are genuinely stunning on their own: visibly smoother skin texture, a brighter and more even complexion, and dramatically improved ability for skincare products to absorb into the skin — paving the way perfectly for everything that comes next in your HydraGlow session.
✦ Instant Results From Step One
- Dead skin cell buildup removed from the stratum corneum
- Fine vellus hair ("peach fuzz") gently cleared from the skin surface
- Smoother, more refined skin texture — immediately visible
- Product absorption boosted by up to 50% compared to unexfoliated skin
- Zero chemicals, zero downtime, zero discomfort
Step 2: Hydradermabrasion — Deep Hydration Meets Deep Clean
Treatment Step Two
Once your skin has been beautifully prepped by dermaplaning, we move into the treatment that sets the HydraGlow apart from every other facial on our menu: hydradermabrasion. If you have heard of microdermabrasion, think of hydradermabrasion as its gentler, more luxurious, significantly more effective counterpart — and then some.
Where traditional microdermabrasion uses crystals or a diamond tip to aggressively buff the skin dry, hydradermabrasion is what we call a "wet exfoliation" method. A specially designed handpiece simultaneously uses controlled vacuum-based suction to gently lift and remove dead skin cells, impurities, and congestion from within the pores — while at the same time actively infusing customized hydrating serums deep into the skin. It is a simultaneous cleanse and feed, a deep extraction and a deep drink of moisture, all happening in perfect unison.
Why Hydradermabrasion Changes Everything
The key distinction from older exfoliation technologies is that hydradermabrasion is inherently gentle and hydrating by design — not stripping or harsh. Rather than removing moisture from the skin during the exfoliation process, it actively delivers it. This makes it genuinely suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, dry, dehydrated, and even reactive skin — skin types that have historically been told to steer clear of professional exfoliation treatments.
The results immediately following hydradermabrasion are nothing short of remarkable: pores are visibly cleaner and refined, congestion and impurities are extracted without manual squeezing, fine lines appear plumped and softened, and the complexion takes on a deeply luminous, well-rested glow that clients frequently tell us makes them look like they have had eight hours of sleep and drunk three liters of water — simultaneously.
✦ What Hydradermabrasion Delivers
- Pore-level exfoliation via gentle vacuum suction technology
- Simultaneous infusion of deeply hydrating, customized serums
- Impurity and congestion extraction without harsh manual manipulation
- Plumped, softened appearance of fine lines and dehydration creases
- Immediate luminosity and a healthy, well-rested glow
- Suitable for all skin types — including sensitive and dry skin
Why Together? The HydraGlow Difference
Both dermaplaning and hydradermabrasion are exceptional treatments in their own right. But when we designed The HydraGlow, we were asking a bigger question: what happens when you combine them in the right order? The answer, as it turns out, is something far greater than the sum of its parts.
Dermaplaning in the first step creates what we like to call the "perfect canvas" — a skin surface that is cleared of all physical barriers, from dead cell buildup to fine surface hair. The hydradermabrasion step then works on skin that is uniquely and powerfully receptive. With the surface barriers removed, the serums infused during hydradermabrasion penetrate significantly deeper than they ever could on unprepared skin. The vacuum suction reaches pores that are now unobstructed. The exfoliation delivered by the second step goes deeper — into the pore — building on the surface work already done by the first.
The result is what we call dual-layer exfoliation: surface-level refinement from dermaplaning, and pore-level deep cleansing from hydradermabrasion. Together, they deliver a level of product penetration, clarity, and luminosity that neither treatment can achieve when performed alone.

Who Is The HydraGlow For?
One of the things we love most about the HydraGlow facial is just how inclusive it is. This is not a treatment designed for one skin type or one specific concern — it was built to serve a wide range of skin goals and to meet clients exactly where they are. Whether your skin is oily, dry, combination, sensitive, or somewhere wonderfully in between, the HydraGlow has something profound to offer you.
You will particularly love The HydraGlow if any of the following sounds familiar: your skin looks perpetually dull or tired no matter how much water you drink or sleep you get; your foundation never quite sits right on your skin; you have been struggling with dehydration, congested pores, or uneven texture; or you have a big event coming up — a wedding, a milestone birthday, a reunion — and you want your skin to be absolutely flawless for it. The HydraGlow was made for all of these moments.
Skin Concerns The HydraGlow Addresses
| Skin Concern | How The HydraGlow Helps |
|---|---|
| Dullness & Lack of Radiance | Dual exfoliation removes dead cell buildup and surface congestion; serum infusion restores luminosity instantly. |
| Dehydration & Dryness | Hydradermabrasion infuses deeply hydrating serums directly into receptive, prepped skin for lasting moisture. |
| Fine Lines & Superficial Wrinkles | Exfoliation smooths and refines; intensive hydration plumps the skin, visibly softening the appearance of lines. |
| Uneven Skin Tone & Texture | Dermaplaning levels and smooths the skin surface; hydradermabrasion further refines and clarifies. |
| Congested Pores & Impurities | Vacuum-based suction gently extracts debris and buildup from within pores without manual manipulation. |
| Peach Fuzz & Surface Hair | Dermaplaning safely and painlessly removes fine vellus hair, leaving the skin silky-smooth. |
| Makeup Adherence | Smooth, exfoliated, hydrated skin is the perfect canvas — foundation, blush, and highlighter apply flawlessly. |
What To Expect During Your Visit
We want you to feel completely at ease from the moment you arrive. Here is a warm, honest walkthrough of what your HydraGlow experience looks like, start to finish.
Arrival & Consultation (5–10 minutes): We begin with a brief skin assessment and a conversation about your current skincare routine, any recent treatments, and your skin goals for today. This helps us customize your hydradermabrasion serums and ensure the treatment is perfectly tailored to your skin on this specific day.
Cleanse & Prep (5 minutes): Your skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepped to ensure the treatment surface is completely clean and ready for dermaplaning.
Dermaplaning (20–25 minutes): We work methodically across your face in gentle, precise strokes. Most clients find this deeply relaxing. You may feel a very light, feathery sensation - and that is about it.
Hydradermabrasion (20–25 minutes): The handpiece glides across your newly refined skin, simultaneously deep-cleansing and flooding your complexion with nourishing serums. Many clients tell us this part feels like a gentle, soothing massage.
Finishing Touches & SPF (5–10 minutes): We complete your treatment with a soothing, targeted serum, a lightweight moisturizer, and — non-negotiably — a broad-spectrum SPF. Your skin will be beautifully receptive and we want to protect every bit of that fresh, new radiance.
Total Treatment Time: Approximately 60–75 minutes.
✦ Aftercare Tips for Best Results
- Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every single morning — freshly exfoliated skin is more sun-sensitive
- Keep your skincare routine gentle and hydrating for the first 24–48 hours post-treatment
- Avoid retinol, AHAs, BHAs, and other active exfoliants for 3–4 days after your HydraGlow
- Avoid steam rooms, saunas, and intense heat for 24–48 hours
- You may apply makeup immediately after your treatment — your skin is ready!
- Drink plenty of water and let those serums do their magic
Contraindications — Is The HydraGlow Right For You?
We believe in honest, transparent communication with every single one of our clients — because great skincare is built on trust. The HydraGlow is an exceptionally well-tolerated, gentle treatment, but like all professional skin exfoliation services, there are some situations where we would want to pause, adjust, or first have a consultation before proceeding.
⚠ Please Consult With Us First If You Have:
- Active acne breakouts or pustules — open or inflamed lesions are a contraindication for both dermaplaning and physical exfoliation
- Active rosacea flare-ups — while we can often work around stable rosacea, we will assess on the day of your visit
- Eczema or psoriasis in the treatment area — broken or compromised skin should not be exfoliated
- Recent laser resurfacing or chemical peels — we recommend waiting a minimum of 2–4 weeks before any additional exfoliation treatment
- Sunburned or severely wind-burned skin — please reschedule until your skin barrier has fully recovered
- Recent use of Accutane (isotretinoin) — a waiting period of 6–12 months post-course is typically recommended
- Pregnancy — please let us know so we can adjust serum choices appropriately

We offer consultations and are always happy to review your skin history, answer your questions, and create a plan that works beautifully and safely for you. When in doubt, book a quick consult — we would rather take five minutes to chat than have you miss out on a treatment that could genuinely change your skin.
