Luminous HydroFacial Pre-Treatment Guidelines

To ensure you experience the full benefits of your Luminous HydroFacial and achieve optimal results, a little preparation is key. Following these guidelines will help prepare your skin for its revitalizing treatment.

Complete Your Consultation Form

It’s crucial to disclose all medications you are currently taking (both prescription and over-the-counter), any recent sun exposure, allergies, or any active skin conditions (like cold sores, eczema flares, or rashes) in the treatment area. Certain medications or conditions can impact your suitability for the treatment.

Avoid Intense Sun Exposure

For at least one week prior to your HydroFacial, avoid prolonged or intense sun exposure, including tanning beds. Sunburned or heavily tanned skin should not be treated.

Pause Harsh Skincare Products

Discontinue the use of any strong exfoliating products, retinoids (e.g., Retin-A, Tretinoin, Retinol), or abrasive scrubs for 3 days before your appointment. This prevents over-sensitization of the skin.

No Recent Chemical Peels & Laser Treatments

If you’ve had other intensive facial treatments like chemical peels, laser treatments, or microneedling, ensure there’s been adequate healing time, usually 2-4 weeks, or as advised by your previous practitioner.

On the Day of Your Treatment

It's preferred that you arrive with clean skin, free of makeup, lotions, or heavy creams. Your therapist will perform a professional cleanse at the start of your session.

Adhering to these simple guidelines helps us ensure your Luminous HydroFacial is both safe and exceptionally effective, setting the stage for a truly luminous complexion.

Luminous HydroFacial Post-Care Guidelines:

Gentle Cleansing: Continue to use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser.

Hydrate Consistently: Maintain your skin’s hydration with a nourishing moisturizer.

Sun Protection is Crucial: Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ (preferably mineral-based) daily, even on cloudy days. Your freshly treated skin is more receptive to light, so consistent sun protection is vital to preserve your results.

Avoid Harsh Products: For the first 24-48 hours, avoid using strong exfoliants or highly active ingredients unless specifically advised by your therapist.

Avoid Excessive Heat: For 24 hours, skip very hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, or strenuous exercise that could cause excessive sweating.

The Luminous HydroFacial leaves your skin revitalized and ready to face the world, requiring minimal fuss and delivering maximum luminosity.

What to Expect & Post Luminous HydroFacial Experience

One of the most celebrated aspects of the Luminous HydroFacial is its remarkable lack of downtime. You can step out of DermaLux Medical Aesthetics immediately after your treatment and resume your daily activities, enjoying your refreshed and glowing complexion.

Immediately Following Your Session

Your skin will instantly appear brighter, feel incredibly smooth, and be deeply hydrated. You'll notice a fresh, dewy glow. It's common to experience a very mild, temporary pinkness or flush, especially if extractions were performed, but this typically subsides within a few hours. There is no peeling, flaking, or significant irritation to expect.

Over the Next Few Days:

Your skin will continue to look and feel exceptionally healthy and radiant. The benefits of the infused serums will continue to work within your skin, promoting ongoing hydration and nourishment.

For optimal and lasting skin health benefits, we generally recommend a Luminous HydroFacial treatment once a month (every 4-6 weeks). Regular treatments help maintain skin clarity, hydration, and overall radiance, aligning with your skin's natural rejuvenation cycle.

Yes, absolutely! The Luminous HydroFacial is renowned for its adaptability. Its gentle yet effective nature makes it suitable for virtually all skin types, including sensitive, oily, dry, acne-prone, congested, and aging skin. The customizable serums allow us to tailor the treatment precisely to your specific concerns.

The Luminous HydroFacial goes beyond a traditional facial by utilizing patented "vortex-fusion" technology. Instead of manual extractions and simple product application, it simultaneously cleanses, exfoliates, painlessly extracts impurities, and deeply infuses medical-grade serums into the skin. This multi-step process ensures a more thorough and effective treatment with immediate, noticeable results and no downtime, which is often not the case with conventional facials.

Many clients experience an immediate glow and improved hydration that can last for 5-7 days or even longer. With a series of treatments and consistent home care, the cumulative benefits, such as reduced fine lines, improved texture, and clearer pores, become more pronounced and long-lasting.
