See in Action
Skin Concerns

May improve the appearance of surface congestion, dryness, and dull tone in suitable skin. Persistent acne or pigmentation needs assessment. If you also plan chemical peels, microneedling, or laser treatment, discuss timing and allow the skin to heal between procedures.

Ideal Candidate

Your provider assesses your skin, medical history, allergies, and recent treatments before recommending HydraFacial. The manufacturer lists pregnancy and breastfeeding, active inflammatory acne, sunburn, rashes, open wounds, and skin infections among the reasons not to proceed. Recent isotretinoin use also requires screening. Sensitive skin needs an individual assessment; treatment is not suitable for everyone.

Tier Differences

Signature ($225, 30 min): the core cleanse-exfoliate-extract-hydrate protocol. Signature Plus ($275, 45 min): adds extended manual extractions for congestion-prone skin. Deluxe ($325, 60 min): adds LED light therapy — our most popular tier. Platinum ($399, 75 min): the comprehensive session and the only tier that includes targeted booster serums for concerns such as uneven tone or fine lines.

Who It’s For

Concerns HydraFacial Treats

Your provider tailors the treatment to your skin after checking suitability. HydraFacial can help improve the appearance of congestion, dryness, and dull tone; outcomes vary.

Congested Pores & Blackheads

Vortex suction helps remove surface debris and congestion. Stubborn blackheads or recurring breakouts may need a separate treatment plan.

Dull, Uneven Skin Tone

Exfoliation and hydration may improve the appearance of dull skin. Ask what change is realistic for your concerns including whether discoloration needs a separate assessment.

Oily & Acne-Prone Skin

HydraFacial can help clear surface congestion and excess oil in suitable skin. Active inflammatory acne needs assessment and should not be treated over. Persistent or painful acne may need medical care rather than a facial alone.

Dehydrated Skin & Fine Lines

Hydrating solutions may temporarily soften the appearance of fine surface lines. This is different from correcting deeper wrinkles. Coordinate any chemical peel or microneedling appointments with your clinician.

Hyperpigmentation & Sun Damage

Pigmentation has different causes and may need a diagnosis. The cause and your skin type help determine whether a particular laser treatment or chemical peel is a suitable option.

Pre-Event Skin Prep

Tell your provider the event date and your previous treatment response. Temporary irritation can last up to 72 hours, and a fixed three-day or seven-day gap cannot guarantee your skin will be ready. Allow extra planning for a first treatment and consider postponing if the event is close.

How It Compares

HydraFacial vs. Traditional Facial

Compare the methods, appointment options, and practical differences in our HydraFacial versus regular facial guide. Discuss which approach fits your goals with your provider.

HydraFacial
Traditional Facial
Extraction Method
Vortex suction helps remove surface debris and congestion; comfort and skin reactions vary
Manual techniques vary by provider and skin condition. Discomfort and irritation can occur with either approach.
Product Delivery
Solutions delivered with the vortex handpiece during cleansing and hydration
Serums applied topically and sit on the skin surface; absorption depends on product formulation
Customization
Hydrating treatment solutions in every tier; targeted booster serums are included only in Platinum
Depends on esthetician skill; products and technique vary widely between providers and appointments
Downtime
Usually little recovery time, but temporary redness, tightness, or irritation can last up to 72 hours; follow your provider’s aftercare
Aggressive extractions or strong actives can leave skin red or irritated for several hours afterward
Pricing
$225–$399 by tier
Varies widely by provider and inclusions

Choosing your facial: a traditional facial may suit a preference for manual techniques or relaxation. At ELLEMES, Deluxe and Platinum HydraFacials include LED light therapy; only Platinum includes targeted booster serums. Your provider can help match a tier to your goals.

Your Appointment

What to Expect: The 5-Step Protocol

A structured, multi-step protocol. Treatment takes 30–75 minutes depending on your tier; allow 45–90 minutes for the full appointment, with aftercare tailored to your skin.

1
Skin assessment · Gentle cleansing

Cleanse & Exfoliate

Your provider uses the HydraFacial handpiece to gently resurface the skin, loosening dead cells and debris from the surface. This prepares the pores for deeper cleaning in the next step.

2
Provider-selected exfoliation

Gentle Acid Peel

An exfoliating solution helps loosen surface debris. Your provider selects the appropriate products after checking your skin and allergies. Tingling or irritation can occur; tell your provider if you feel discomfort.

3
Most-loved step

Extract

The patented vortex suction helps remove blackheads, sebum, and congestion from your pores. This is the step patients find most satisfying — your provider can show you the extraction canister afterward so you can see exactly what came out.

4
Hydrating solutions

Hydrate & Protect

The handpiece applies hydrating treatment solutions to the skin. Ingredients depend on the selected products. Targeted booster serums are a separate enhancement included only in the Platinum tier.

5
Deluxe & Platinum only

Optional Add-Ons

Deluxe and Platinum tiers include LED light therapy. Only Platinum adds targeted booster serums selected for your skin concerns, such as uneven tone or fine lines.

Post-Treatment Tips

Avoid heavy makeup for 6–12 hours if possible, apply SPF before going outside, and skip exfoliating acids in your at-home routine for 48 hours. Your provider will give you specific instructions based on your skin and which serums were used. Full guidance on our post-care instructions page.

Treatment Frequency

How Often Should You Get a HydraFacial

The right cadence depends on your skin and other treatments. Read our guide to how often to get a HydraFacial alongside the options below.

4 wks
Active Concerns

A four-week review may be discussed for suitable skin, but it is not a required schedule or a guarantee of breakout prevention. Active inflammatory acne needs separate assessment.

As Needed
Complementary

If you are also considering chemical peels, microneedling, or laser treatment, your clinician should confirm that the skin has healed and that the next procedure is appropriate.

Before an event: discuss the date, skin history, and a recovery buffer with your provider. Previous tolerance does not guarantee the same response next time. Packages are optional; treatment frequency should be based on your assessment and response.

The Science

How HydraFacial Works

HydraFacial is a medical-grade treatment that deeply cleanses, extracts, and hydrates the skin using patented vortex technology — all in a single session.

The device helps remove surface impurities while applying hydrating solutions. Skin may look clearer and feel more hydrated after treatment, but results vary. Temporary redness, tightness, or irritation can occur.

Your esthetician assesses your skin before recommending a tier. Every tier includes the core cleansing and hydration steps; targeted booster serums are included only in Platinum. Follow your provider’s aftercare and allow time to see how your skin responds.

FAQ

HydraFacial Questions

Treatment information reviewed by Lauren Siso, licensed esthetician and assistant laser practitioner.

HydraFacial consultation at ELLEMES Medical Spa Sandy Springs
How does HydraFacial work?
HydraFacial uses a vortex handpiece to cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and hydrate. At ELLEMES, all tiers include the core protocol; targeted booster serums are included only in Platinum.
What results can I expect?
The goal is clearer, more hydrated-looking skin. Results vary. Browse our before-and-after gallery and select HydraFacial. Images labeled “HydraFacial + BBL” show a combination treatment, not HydraFacial alone.
How long do results last?
Hydration and appearance changes are temporary and vary by person. Discuss your response before deciding whether another session is useful; you may prefer occasional visits or an ongoing plan.
Does HydraFacial hurt?
Many patients find HydraFacial comfortable, but it is not guaranteed to be painless. Suction, exfoliation, or treatment solutions may cause discomfort or temporary irritation. Tell your provider if you feel pain or burning.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Some people with sensitive skin may be suitable after assessment. HydraFacial can cause temporary redness, tightness, or irritation. Active rashes, sunburn, open lesions, and other contraindications need to be addressed before treatment.
How is it different from a regular facial?
HydraFacial combines a device-assisted sequence of cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration. Traditional facials vary in products and manual techniques. The better choice depends on your skin, goals, and suitability; one is not automatically more effective for everyone.
Can I add it to my existing skincare routine?
It may fit into your routine, but your provider should review active ingredients and medicines first. Follow the recommended pauses around exfoliating products and use sunscreen; do not assume stronger absorption is always beneficial.
Can I combine it with other treatments?
Your provider may recommend dermaplaning or a separate treatment plan. Timing matters: do not use HydraFacial over unhealed skin after laser, microneedling, or a peel. Your treating clinician should confirm when your skin is ready.
How much does a HydraFacial cost in Atlanta?
At ELLEMES, HydraFacial pricing ranges from $225 for a 30-minute Signature session to $399 for the 75-minute Platinum. Multi-session packages of 3 or 5 treatments are available at 10–15% off. Your provider will recommend the right tier based on your skin assessment.
How often should I get a HydraFacial?
Frequency should follow your skin assessment, response, and other procedures. Active inflammatory acne is a reason to defer HydraFacial and seek appropriate care. Before an event, allow an individual recovery buffer rather than relying on a guaranteed three-day or seven-day rule.
Can I get a HydraFacial while pregnant?
HydraFacial’s manufacturer lists pregnancy and breastfeeding as contraindications because treatment has not been evaluated in these groups. Changing serums does not remove that restriction. Tell your provider if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and discuss alternative skincare with your obstetric clinician. See the manufacturer’s instructions.
What’s the difference between HydraFacial and a chemical peel?
HydraFacial uses cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration. Chemical peels differ in depth and recovery; peeling can range from mild to substantial. Neither option is automatically appropriate for acne, pigmentation, or scarring without assessment.

Ellemes Spa has played a material role in my skin journey for a few years now. I've trusted Lauren with everything from hydrafacials to lasers. I've always had very positive experiences and look forward to every visit!

Holly Corrales HydraFacial

I see Christian at ELLEMES and she is absolutely amazing! I’ve been going to her for almost a year now and each time I leave my appointment my skin is glowing and I feel refreshed. From hydrafacial to microneedling, she truly has helped transform my skin’s appearance and texture. Thank you, Christian!!

K
Amanda Shapiro HydraFacial

I had an amazing experience at ELLEMES Med Spa. Thao performed my PRF EZ Gel under-eye treatment and was incredibly skilled, gentle, and attentive throughout the entire process. Jaycee did my HydraFacial, and it was one of the best I’ve ever had, so thorough, relaxing, and my skin looked instantly refreshed afterward. Both of them are extremely kind, professional, and made me feel completely comfortable from the moment I walked in.

Daniela Vidal HydraFacial & PRF EZ Gel

“Christian is the best! I can’t recommend her enough! I get hydrafacials from her and always leave feeling so hydrated and relaxed. Ever since I started seeing her I’ve been getting tons of compliments on my skin.”

Kiran E. HydraFacial

“Today I enjoyed immensely a Deluxe Hydra-facial from Lauren. I thought it was very good but my wife thought my skin on my face was the best it had ever looked! Honestly it was such a nice experience that I scheduled an appointment for my wife next week and one for me again 3 months from now. I did a lot of research before I chose Lauren, and I am very happy with my decision.”

Jim S. HydraFacial

“This review is long over due, I've been a customer here for nearly 4 years. Hands down the best Medical Spa within the Atlanta Metro area. They are so welcoming, professional, and the place is always clean. Jaycee is the primary Licensed Aesthetician who provides my Microneedling and Hydrafacial services. She is so gentle, knowledgeable across all skin tones, doesn't try to push unnecessary treatments on me, and has proven results.”

Evan L. HydraFacial & Microneedling

“In February, I scheduled a HydraFacial with Christian. I have suffered with Rosacea for about 20 years on my face. The last 2 years have been especially frustrating with my skin. After my HydraFacial, my skin felt amazing! I have had one about every 5-6 weeks since then and the texture of my face has improved tremendously. My makeup lays so nicely on my face, now. Highly Recommend this service.”

Allison W. HydraFacial

“I have been a client of ELLEMES Medspa for five amazing years. Just came in for a hydrafacial and need to let everyone know that ELLEMES Medspa is truly a gem! Lauren Siso, the owner, is absolutely wonderful and her staff is just as great! Lauren is so kind, thorough, and genuinely invested in your well-being. From the moment you walk in, you feel cared for by Lauren's team.”

Annette C. HydraFacial

“I had the most incredible Hydrafacial with Lauren, and I can genuinely say my skin has never felt or looked better. From the moment I arrived, Lauren created a calm, welcoming space where I instantly felt at ease. She is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also deeply intuitive — she tailored every step of the treatment to my skin's exact needs. I left with my skin feeling plump, radiant, and visibly refreshed.”

J
Jennifer F. HydraFacial

“I felt welcome the moment that I stepped in the door. Lauren did my hydra facial and it is by far The best one that I have had in Atlanta. The extractions are a bit painful but she gets everything out. She wants the best for your skin and really knows what she is talking about when it comes to skin care! I'm a professional model and my face was breaking out like crazy ever since I went vegan six months ago. She was able to clear up my skin in three weeks with the right products!!”

M
Mandark H. HydraFacial

“Lauren is absolutely amazing! I was desperate looking for an esthetician especially cause I suffer from Rosacea and I found Lauren. I went from red irritated skin to smooth clear skin. You would never know I suffer from Rosacea. She is so knowledgeable, she told me exactly what products to use for my skin and the hydrafacial was fabulous. I can't wait to go back.”

J
Jessica C. HydraFacial

“I've been going to Ellemes medSpa for a few months now and I can honestly say I seen a huge difference in my skin after getting the hydra-facial with Jaycee! My sister recommended this place to me after I received chemical burns from a previous spa. I was definitely apprehensive, but little did I know I was in great hands. Jaycee is so knowledgeable, attentive, and extremely cautious when handling my skin!”

J
Jayda HydraFacial

“I had an amazing experience getting HydraFacial yesterday. The treatment itself was so relaxing and refreshing, with noticeable improvements to my skin right away — my complexion felt smoother, brighter, and deeply hydrated. Lauren was very professional, explaining each step of the process and making sure I was comfortable the entire time. I left feeling rejuvenated and glowing.”

Arthur R. HydraFacial

Mackenzie B. HydraFacial & Dermaplaning

“There is no place or person I trust more with my skin than ELLEMES Med Spa and Lauren! The evolution of my skin this past year has been remarkable and I owe that to Lauren. From my monthly Hydrafacial to all the advice she gave me on products to use for my daily skincare routine, my face has never been softer or more hydrated!”

R
