HydraFacial
in Atlanta
Cleanse, extract, and hydrate. Zero downtime.
Cleanse, Extract & Hydrate
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 painlessly removes impurities from your pores while simultaneously infusing serums with antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. The result is clearer, more hydrated skin immediately after treatment.
Whether you're dealing with congestion, early signs of aging, or just want healthier skin between more intensive treatments, HydraFacial can be tailored to your specific concerns with zero downtime.
The Benefits
Deep Pore Cleansing
Removes impurities, excess oil, and buildup from deep within the pores — more thoroughly than manual extraction alone.
Gentle Exfoliation
Resurfaces without harsh abrasives. The vortex technology is gentle enough for sensitive skin while still delivering visible improvement.
Immediate Hydration
Replenishes moisture and locks in nutrients so your skin looks and feels noticeably healthier right after treatment.
Skin Concerns We Treat
HydraFacial is one of the most versatile treatments we offer because the serums and technique can be adjusted for virtually any skin type. These concerns see the most noticeable improvement.
The vortex suction extracts impurities from deep within the pore — more effectively and more comfortably than manual extraction. Patients who deal with persistent blackheads across the nose, chin, and forehead often see visible clearing after a single session.
If your skin looks tired or flat despite a good at-home routine, the exfoliation and serum infusion steps restore clarity and brightness immediately. This is the most common reason patients in their 30s and 40s book regular HydraFacials at our Sandy Springs clinic.
HydraFacial removes excess sebum without stripping the skin or disrupting the moisture barrier. For active breakouts, your provider can incorporate salicylic acid to target acne bacteria during treatment. Monthly sessions can meaningfully reduce breakout frequency over time.
The hyaluronic acid infusion delivers deep hydration that plumps the skin from within — temporarily reducing the appearance of fine lines and giving a smoother, more supple texture. An excellent maintenance treatment between chemical peels or microneedling.
While HydraFacial alone won't resolve deep pigmentation (that's where laser treatments or a VI Peel are more appropriate), the brightening serums can help fade mild discoloration and even out skin tone over a series of sessions.
If you've had a HydraFacial before and know your skin responds well, we recommend booking at least 3 days before your event. If it's your first time, schedule at least 7 days ahead — that way there's plenty of buffer in the unlikely event your skin needs a day or two to settle. Events are too important to risk, so we always err on the side of caution with timing. That said, the vast majority of patients see nothing but glowing results, which is why HydraFacial remains a staple of our bridal facial packages.
What to Expect
A structured, multi-step protocol. The entire appointment takes 30–75 minutes depending on your tier, with zero downtime afterward.
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.

Four treatment tiers, each building on the last. Your provider will recommend the right one during your consultation.

How Often Should You Get a HydraFacial
The right cadence depends on your skin and what else you're doing. Here's what we typically recommend.
Your provider will recommend a specific frequency during your first appointment based on your skin assessment, your goals, and what other treatments you're doing. The multi-session packages (3 or 5 sessions at 10–15% off) are designed for patients who plan to come regularly.
HydraFacial vs. Traditional Facial
When a traditional facial makes more sense: If your primary goal is relaxation and pampering rather than clinical results, a traditional facial may be the better fit. If you want both, our Deluxe and Platinum HydraFacial tiers include lymphatic drainage massage and LED therapy — adding the therapeutic, calming component without sacrificing clinical effectiveness.

At ELLEMES, HydraFacial pricing ranges from $199 for a 30-minute Signature session to $375 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.
Every 4–6 weeks for active skin concerns like acne or congestion. Every 6–8 weeks for general maintenance. Before a major event, we recommend at least 7 days ahead if it's your first HydraFacial, or at least 3 days ahead if you've had one before and know your skin responds well.
In most cases, yes — with modifications. Your provider will adjust the serum selection to avoid certain active ingredients (like salicylic acid and retinoids) during pregnancy. A pregnancy-safe HydraFacial focuses on gentle cleansing, hydration, and soothing ingredients. We recommend discussing this with your OB-GYN beforehand.
HydraFacial cleanses, extracts, and hydrates with no downtime. Chemical peels use controlled acid solutions to remove damaged skin layers, producing deeper resurfacing but with 3–7 days of visible peeling. For mild concerns and maintenance, HydraFacial is ideal. For more significant texture, pigmentation, or acne scarring, a chemical peel may be more effective.
