What is a Hydrodermabrasion treatment?
The Aqua Facial is a next-level skin treatment that combines the power of hydrodermabrasion (also known as wet dermabrasion) with diamond-tip resurfacing. Unlike traditional microdermabrasion or dry dermabrasion, our hydrodermabrasion facial uses a diamond-encrusted tip plus gentle suction to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate at the same time. This advanced form of wet dermabrasion is especially effective for acne-prone or congested skin, as it removes buildup while infusing nourishing serums rich in hyaluronic acid, peptides, and antioxidants. The result: an instant glow, smoother texture, and long-term improvements in skin clarity and radiance.
More than just a deep cleanse.
The Benefits of Hydrodermabrasion

aftercare
One of the best things about an Aqua facial is that there’s minor to no downtime—you can return to work, dinner, or even a night out.
SStill, a little mindful aftercare helps your results last longer. For the first 24 hours, skip heavy makeup, retinol, or aggressive exfoliants so your skin can fully enjoy its fresh infusion of nutrients. Hydration is key, so drink plenty of water and layer on your moisturizer to support the dewy effect. Sunscreen is non-negotiable (like always), especially since your skin is newly polished and more receptive to UV damage. Avoid saunas or intense workouts that might overheat or stress the skin. Beyond that, enjoy your glow—and the compliments that follow.
