The HydraFacial® is one of the most popular services in Hollywood. It is my personal favorite and go to treatment both myself and my clients. This is not necessarily a facial but also a true treatment that provides immediate results.

No use of lasers or harsh chemicals here! The HydraFacial® is a system that resurfaces and enhances the skin using Vortex Technology™; patented by HydraFacial®. (Visualize, if you will, a steam-vacuum without having the heat) This technology is a non-invasive treatment that will gently extract impurities by cleaning, exfoliating, extracting, while hydrating your skin by driving in luxurious serums that provide your skin unprecedented hydration.

The "basic" treatment will get you a long way, however, there are, what we call in the industry, "add-ons." Add-ons are additional serums that your aesthetician may use to target your skins individual needs like skin-tone, sun-spots, blemishes and acne, and even those fine lines and wrinkles.

I love the HydraFacial® skin care line as well. Not perfumery, not too clinical. Just a a light clean scent leaving you feeling fresh. They have a fantastic home care system for all skin types. I also highly recommend this line to those individuals that have extreme sensitivities to so many products and is a sure fire way (no pun intended...) to stay hydrated through the driest winter seasons!

The down-side is that it only takes approximately 20 minutes! It feels wonderful and seems just too short of time in order to receive such a luxurious treatment. The upside of this treatment is that it only takes approximately 20 minutes! The perfect "lunchtime" facial or treatment when you are short on time but want big results.

When the treatment is finished, you are left with a face that is plump, refreshed, and revitalized. It literally takes off years; unveiling a glowing new you! These immediate effects last from 3 - 5 days respectively. And the more often you receive the treatments, of course, the longer your results will last.

A favorite part of this treatment for those Hollywood Stars is that it leaves you "make-up ready." You can do this immediately before a wedding, that long awaited office party, greeting special guests at events and even photos, leaving you "red carpet ready" this holiday season!

Because these are professional services, please make sure you have a licensed aesthetician to help guide you in your decision and remember to wear your sunscreen every day!

Happy Holidays!

The name not be as fancy, but my first experience with the HydraFacial® had me more excited than a little kid opening their first present!
