HydraFacial®

HydraFacial in Newport Beach: a medical-grade cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate in one glowing session

Want an instant, red-carpet glow with zero downtime?

The HydraFacial is a medical-grade resurfacing facial that uses patented vortex technology to cleanse, exfoliate, extract and hydrate at the same time, then infuses serums chosen for your skin. It leaves skin brighter, smoother and visibly hydrated, usually with no downtime, and most patients see a difference after one session. At ZENA Medical in Newport Beach it is performed in a dermatologist-led practice, takes about 30 to 45 minutes, and can be customized with boosters for pigmentation, fine lines or acne-prone skin.

Are you looking for a more youthful, radiant glow?

We at ZENA Medical believe HydraFacial® is the superior method providing a fully loaded medical-grade facial. Only HydraFacial® uses a patented 3-step process to rejuvenate and reveal a bright and dewy complexion. Our treatments also include the full luxury experience with aromatherapy, hand massage, warm booties, and a serene environment.

How does HydraFacial® work?

HydraFacial® uses a patented, gentle 3-step process to work with your skin:

  • Cleanse + Peel: Light but thorough exfoliation of dead cells combined with relaxing resurfacing.
  • Extract + Hydrate: Gentle suction of debris opens cells to nourishing hydration with medical-grade products chosen specifically for you.
  • Fuse + Protect: Antioxidants and peptides are infused into the skin for your most youthful glow.

It feels like a moist, gentle suction gliding across the skin. The treatment is usually painless, and most patients find it relaxing.

Am I a good candidate for the HydraFacial®?

If you are looking for a non-invasive, no-downtime way to uncover radiant skin, HydraFacial® may be for you.

HydraFacial® is perfect for men and women who want to improve the appearance of:

  • Sun-damaged skin, brown spots and uneven tone.
  • Fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Dull or lackluster complexion from sun exposure, stress, or lifestyle.
  • Dry or dehydrated skin.
  • Oily, congested skin and enlarged pores.
  • Acne or rosacea.
  • Redness, splotchiness, texture, and tone.

Who should wait, or choose a different treatment? A HydraFacial is not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have been diagnosed with cancer within the last two years, or if you are allergic to shellfish, aspirin, sulfur or preservatives. If you are pregnant or nursing and want a deep exfoliation, dermaplaning is the treatment we suggest instead. If you take Accutane or use Retin-A, tell us before your appointment. Your skin is more likely to flake the following day, and we will plan around it.

How long does a HydraFacial® take?

The treatment itself takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Allow about an hour for your full visit. You’ll be able to get back to your life right away.

What results will I see?*

You’ll see immediate results with HydraFacial®: improved tone and texture with a more radiant glow. Patients often see:

  • Visibly softer fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Refined pores and smoother texture.
  • A more even tone, with help fading brown spots and melasma.
  • Less oil and fewer breakouts in acne-prone skin.
  • Less under-eye puffiness.
  • Hydrated, more supple and elastic skin.

With routine HydraFacial® sessions, you will enjoy these long-lasting results year-round.

Is there any downtime?

Usually none. Some patients notice temporary tightness, mild redness or irritation, which settles within 48 hours. If you use Retin-A, take Accutane, or have not had regular facials, your skin may flake lightly the next day from the glycolic and salicylic exfoliation. Occasionally congestion comes to the surface before it clears. Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun afterwards, so sunscreen is not optional.

How do I care for my skin afterwards?

For about 72 hours, avoid aggressive exfoliation, waxing, products containing acids, and Retin-A. Wear sunscreen every day and avoid excessive sun exposure.

What is a HydraFacial?

The HydraFacial is a medical-grade facial that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates the skin in a single, gentle session. Using patented vortex technology, it clears away dead skin and impurities while infusing serums rich in antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid.

What are the benefits, and is there downtime?

Patients see an immediate glow with smoother texture, cleaner pores, and more even tone, with no downtime, which makes it a favorite before events. Over a series it can help with congestion, fine lines, and dullness, and it can be customized with targeted boosters for your concern.

How often should I get one?

Most patients see a result after a single treatment. For the best result we recommend starting with a series of six, one per week, followed by one a month to maintain it. At ZENA Medical in Newport Beach, treatments are provided under the direction of board-certified dermatologist Dr. Zena Gabriel and can be paired with other treatments. Book your HydraFacial today.

What can I add to my HydraFacial?

Your HydraFacial can be built up to suit your skin. Lymphatic drainage uses the device’s suction in a directional pattern to improve circulation and reduce puffiness. LED light therapy is a non-thermal red light that calms redness and supports collagen. A peptide booster targets fine lines. Treatment can also be extended to the neck and chest. Dermaplaning beforehand removes fine vellus hair and dead surface cells, so the serums that follow penetrate more readily.
