HydraFacial Treatment
Cleanse & Revitalize
Get people talking about a fresh new glow with a cleansing, revitalizing HydraFacial. Return a brightness to your face, improve tone, texture and skin imperfections, and deliver deep hydration to rejuvenate your skin with this impressive cosmetic treatment.
HydraFacials are a 3-step process, and each step is key to luminous results.
Your provider will start with a deep cleanse, removing impurities from deep within targeted areas using the wand’s gentle resurfacing capabilities. Extraction and exfoliation come next. Debris loosened from your pores and dead skin cells are removed while moisturizers are delivered to treatment areas. It’s a much gentler approach than traditional facials that may leave your face dry and irritated.
The final step works to maximize your glow. Your provider will deliver a layer of serums based on your skin’s unique needs to allow for longer-lasting results and to leave your skin looking and feeling hydrated and healthy.
If you’re ready to explore the benefits of HydraFacial in Orange County, our experts at the Med Lounge are ready to customize a treatment for you and leave you with the glow you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions
A HydraFacial is a 3-step cleansing, exfoliating and hydrating cosmetic treatment that addresses various skin issues for many skin types. The mechanized wand used in the treatment is gentler on your skin than most traditional facials but offers a deeper, more intense cleanse at the same time.
HydraFacial is also customizable, particularly when it comes to the serums used to seal the treatment’s effects. Your provider will develop a strategy for your HydraFacial based on your skin’s needs at the time of your appointment and what you’re looking to improve about your skin.
The benefits you should expect from HydraFacial are tailored to your unique skin needs. A HydraFacial can temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, brighten your skin and reduce discoloration, improve elasticity and even out your skin’s tone and texture.
The treatment’s exfoliating effects can improve the appearance of enlarged pores, reduce acne breakouts, reduce oiliness in the skin and allow your provider to deliver healing serum deep into the skin.
The end result is a new, refreshed you and that glow you’ve been missing before your first HydraFacial.
Facials are a great way to treat your skin to some pampering but some can be harsh on your face. Facials that include extractions can leave your skin feeling like it’s been through something not-so-gentle, with resulting redness.
A HydraFacial is kinder and gentler to your face, as your provider will be delivering a healthy dose of moisture while doing the exfoliating that removes dead skin and those unwanted impurities in the skin. The mechanical wand used in the process is tailored to your needs and used to prevent irritation and redness post-procedure.
While you may feel pressure as the wand does its magic, a HydraFacial is a painless cosmetic treatment. If you have any active skin issues, like an active rash or bad acne breakout, you’ll want to talk to your provider about whether the treatment is right for you at that moment.
How often you should get a HydraFacial will depend on your skin’s needs and the treatment plan for your skin. Many see benefits getting a treatment about once a month. Your provider will help you come up with a frequency plan that will benefit you best.
The new luminous you should see results for about 4-6 weeks after your HydraFacial. Taking care of your skin in between maintenance sessions will extend your results and have your skin looking and feeling its best.
What to Expect With HydraFacial
For the best results after your treatment, our experts at the Med Lounge have a few tips around what to expect with HydraFacial before and after your procedure.
PRE-TREATMENT
- Your provider will share an ideal skincare routine with you ahead of your facial. Treatment plans are customized. Following your provider’s recommendations will give your skin the base it needs for the best results after your HydraFacial.
- Talk to your provider if you’re using or have used acne products that include isotretinoin. You may be asked to reschedule your appointment if you’re still using those products.
- Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your HydraFacial. Hydrated skin is healthy skin and could improve the results of your facial.
- Limit any additional facials treatments in the two weeks before your HydraFacial. That includes chemical peels and laser treatments that may leave your skin more sensitive.
- Talk to your provider if you’re on a regular cosmetic treatment regimen that includes procedures like Botox or dermal fillers. Your provider will be able to work around your regular treatment schedule and come up with a plan that will get you the best results.
- Avoid any topical treatments — that includes retinoids, exfoliants, topical antibiotics and acids — that may leave your skin more sensitive for at least two days before your HydraFacial.
- Try to avoid too much sun exposure for at least three days before your treatment. You don’t want to come to your appointment with a sunburn, which would leave your skin more sensitive to what should be a relaxing experience for you.
- Avoid waxing or using any hair removal products for at least two days ahead of your treatment. Men getting HydraFacials should avoid shaving the day of their treatment.
- Your provider will be deep cleaning your skin as part of your treatment, but you’ll want to arrive at your appointment fresh-faced.
POST-TREATMENT
- Your provider will recommend cleansers, serums and lotions in the days after your HydraFacial. To extend the life of your results, follow your recommended treatment plan.
- Talk to your provider about when you should return to your regular skincare routine. If you’ve been using retinol, regular exfoliants or acne medications, you’ll likely be asked to avoid them for at least 48 hours post-treatment.
- Avoid waxing or using any hair removal products for at least two days after your treatment.
- Avoid exposure to extreme heat, like in saunas or hot tubs, in the 24 hours after treatment.
- Try to keep yourself fresh-faced in the hours after your treatment. You should be fine returning to your regular makeup routine the day after.
- Avoid any direct sun exposure or lengthy time in the sun in the three days after your treatment. Wear an SPF 30 or higher daily when you’re out in the sun after that point.
- Keep yourself well-hydrated after your treatment. Well-hydrated skin is healthier skin and will improve the longevity of your HydraFacial.
- Limit any additional cosmetic treatments like chemical peels or laser treatments in the two weeks after your HydraFacial.
- A perk of HydraFacials is that you won’t experience any downtime. You should be able to return to your regular day-to-day activities after your appointment.

BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) Important Information
Indications
BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is indicated in adult patients for the temporary improvement in the appearance of:
– Moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity
– Moderate to severe lateral canthal lines associated with orbicularis oculi activity
– Moderate to severe forehead lines associated with frontalis activity
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION, INCLUDING BOXED WARNING
WARNING: DISTANT SPREAD OF TOXIN EFFECT
Postmarketing reports indicate that the effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic and all botulinum toxin products may spread from the area of injection to produce symptoms consistent with botulinum toxin effects. These may include asthenia, generalized muscle weakness, diplopia, ptosis, dysphagia, dysphonia, dysarthria, urinary incontinence, and breathing difficulties. These symptoms have been reported hours to weeks after injection. Swallowing and breathing difficulties can be life threatening and there have been reports of death. The risk of symptoms is probably greatest in children treated for spasticity, but symptoms can also occur in adults treated for spasticity and other conditions, particularly in those patients who have an underlying condition that would predispose them to these symptoms. In unapproved uses and approved indications, cases of spread of effect have been reported at doses comparable to those used to treat cervical dystonia and spasticity and at lower doses.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
BOTOX® Cosmetic is contraindicated in the presence of infection at the proposed injection site(s) and in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin preparation or to any of the components in the formulation.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Lack of Interchangeability Between Botulinum Toxin Products
The potency units of BOTOX® Cosmetic are specific to the preparation and assay method utilized. They are not interchangeable with other preparations of botulinum toxin products and, therefore, units of biological activity of BOTOX® Cosmetic cannot be compared to nor converted into units of any other botulinum toxin products assessed with any other specific assay method.
Spread of Toxin Effect
Please refer to Boxed Warning for Distant Spread of Toxin Effect.
No definitive serious adverse event reports of distant spread of toxin effect associated with dermatologic use of BOTOX® Cosmetic at the labeled dose of 20 Units (for glabellar lines), 24 Units (for lateral canthal lines), 40 Units (for forehead lines with glabellar lines), 44 Units (for simultaneous treatment of lateral canthal lines and glabellar lines), and 64 Units (for simultaneous treatment of lateral canthal lines, glabellar lines, and forehead lines) have been reported. Patients or caregivers should be advised to seek immediate medical care if swallowing, speech, or respiratory disorders occur.
Serious Adverse Reactions With Unapproved Use
Serious adverse reactions, including excessive weakness, dysphagia, and aspiration pneumonia, with some adverse reactions associated with fatal outcomes, have been reported in patients who received BOTOX® injections for unapproved uses. In these cases, the adverse reactions were not necessarily related to distant spread of toxin, but may have resulted from the administration of BOTOX® to the site of injection and/or adjacent structures. In several of the cases, patients had pre-existing dysphagia or other significant disabilities. There is insufficient information to identify factors associated with an increased risk for adverse reactions associated with the unapproved uses of BOTOX®. The safety and effectiveness of BOTOX® for unapproved uses have not been established.
Hypersensitivity Reactions
Serious and/or immediate hypersensitivity reactions have been reported. These reactions include anaphylaxis, serum sickness, urticaria, soft-tissue edema, and dyspnea. If such reactions occur, further injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic should be discontinued and appropriate medical therapy immediately instituted. One fatal case of anaphylaxis has been reported in which lidocaine was used as the diluent and, consequently, the causal agent cannot be reliably determined.
Cardiovascular System
There have been reports following administration of BOTOX® of adverse events involving the cardiovascular system, including arrhythmia and myocardial infarction, some with fatal outcomes. Some of these patients had risk factors including pre-existing cardiovascular disease. Use caution when administering to patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease.
Increased Risk of Clinically Significant Effects With Pre-existing Neuromuscular Disorders
Individuals with peripheral motor neuropathic diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or neuromuscular junction disorders (eg, myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome) should be monitored when given botulinum toxin. Patients with neuromuscular disorders may be at increased risk of clinically significant effects including generalized muscle weakness, diplopia, ptosis, dysphonia, dysarthria, severe dysphagia, and respiratory compromise from onabotulinumtoxinA (see Warnings and Precautions).
Dysphagia and Breathing Difficulties
Treatment with BOTOX® and other botulinum toxin products can result in swallowing or breathing difficulties. Patients with pre-existing swallowing or breathing difficulties may be more susceptible to these complications. In most cases, this is a consequence of weakening of muscles in the area of injection that are involved in breathing or oropharyngeal muscles that control swallowing or breathing (see Boxed Warning).
Pre-existing Conditions at the Injection Site
Caution should be used when BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment is used in the presence of inflammation at the proposed injection site(s) or when excessive weakness or atrophy is present in the target muscle(s).
Dry Eye in Patients Treated With BOTOX® Cosmetic
There have been reports of dry eye associated with BOTOX® Cosmetic injection in or near the orbicularis oculi muscle. If symptoms of dry eye (eg, eye irritation, photophobia, or visual changes) persist, consider referring patients to an ophthalmologist.
Human Albumin and Transmission of Viral Diseases
This product contains albumin, a derivative of human blood. Based on effective donor screening and product manufacturing processes, it carries an extremely remote risk for transmission of viral diseases and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). There is a theoretical risk for transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), but if that risk actually exists, the risk of transmission would also be considered extremely remote. No cases of transmission of viral diseases, CJD or vCJD have ever been identified for licensed albumin or albumin contained in other licensed products.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most frequently reported adverse reactions following injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic for glabellar lines were eyelid ptosis (3%), facial pain (1%), facial paresis (1%), and muscular weakness (1%).
The most frequently reported adverse reaction following injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic for lateral canthal lines was eyelid edema (1%).
The most frequently reported adverse reactions following injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic for forehead lines with glabellar lines were headache (9%), brow ptosis (2%), and eyelid ptosis (2%).
DRUG INTERACTIONS
Co-administration of BOTOX® Cosmetic and aminoglycosides or other agents interfering with neuromuscular transmission (eg, curare-like compounds) should only be performed with caution as the effect of the toxin may be potentiated. Use of anticholinergic drugs after administration of BOTOX® Cosmetic may potentiate systemic anticholinergic effects.
The effect of administering different botulinum neurotoxin products at the same time or within several months of each other is unknown. Excessive neuromuscular weakness may be exacerbated by
administration of another botulinum toxin prior to the resolution of the effects of a previously administered botulinum toxin.
Excessive weakness may also be exaggerated by administration of a muscle relaxant before or after administration of BOTOX® Cosmetic.
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
There are no studies or adequate data from postmarketing surveillance on the developmental risk associated with use of BOTOX® Cosmetic in pregnant women. There are no data on the presence of BOTOX® Cosmetic in human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production.
Please see BOTOX® Cosmetic full Prescribing Information including Boxed Warning and Medication Guide.
