The Facial Redefined
HydraFacial has become one of the most requested skin treatments in the world - and for good reason. Unlike traditional facials, it combines advanced technology with gentle exfoliation and deep hydration to leave the skin clean, smooth, and instantly radiant.
At Skin Ritual Newmarket, we use the HydraFacial MD device to deliver clinical results with a spa-like experience. Here’s what it is, how it works, and why it’s so loved by our clients.
Explore our HydraFacial treatments.
What Does a HydraFacial Do for Your Skin?
A HydraFacial is a multi-step treatment that cleanses, extracts, and hydrates - all in one session. Using a patented vortex-fusion technology, it removes impurities while infusing the skin with active ingredients such as antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid.
Each treatment typically includes:
Cleanse + Exfoliate: Removes dead skin and surface debris.
Gentle Peel: Loosens clogged pores and brightens the skin.
Painless Extractions: Vacuum-assisted suction clears congestion and blackheads.
Hydration Infusion: Delivers moisture and nutrients deep into the skin.
Protection: Finishes with antioxidants and SPF to shield the skin barrier.
The result? Brighter, smoother, deeply hydrated skin - instantly.
What Is a HydraFacial Good For?
HydraFacial is loved for its versatility. It’s suitable for nearly every skin type - from dry and sensitive to oily and congested.
It helps improve:
Dullness and dehydration
Congested pores and blackheads
Uneven texture or tone
Fine lines and early signs of ageing
Post-travel or seasonal skin fatigue
Because there’s no downtime, it’s often chosen as a “pre-event” facial before weddings, holidays, or photoshoots.
What Machine Is Used for a HydraFacial?
At Skin Ritual, we use the HydraFacial MD device, a patented system designed in the United States.
This device uses a unique vortex tip to gently lift impurities and deliver active ingredients into the skin - without irritation or manual extraction. Unlike regular facials, which rely on manual massage or steam, the HydraFacial uses precise, consistent vacuum technology to cleanse and hydrate simultaneously.
HydraFacial Before and After
Clients often notice visible improvement after just one treatment - glowing, hydrated, and refreshed skin that feels smoother to the touch.
With regular treatments, results become cumulative:
Clearer pores
Improved brightness
More even tone
Healthier overall skin function
Many clients choose a monthly HydraFacial as part of their ongoing skin maintenance plan.
Who Benefits Most from a HydraFacial?
HydraFacial is safe and effective for:
Teens dealing with congestion or breakouts
Adults seeking smoother, hydrated skin
Mature skin wanting to soften fine lines and boost glow
Sensitive skin needing gentle exfoliation without irritation
At Skin Ritual, each HydraFacial is tailored - whether your goal is deep cleansing, calming redness, or restoring luminosity.
FAQs: HydraFacial Treatment
Is HydraFacial safe for sensitive skin? Yes - it’s one of the few treatments suitable even for reactive eczema-prone, or rosacea-prone skin.
How often should I get a HydraFacial? Every 4–6 weeks for maintenance, or before important events for instant glow.
Does HydraFacial help with clogged pores or blackheads? Yes - the suction technology removes debris and sebum without manual extraction.
Can I wear makeup after a HydraFacial? It’s best to wait until the next day to allow active ingredients to fully absorb.
How long do HydraFacial results last? The fresh, hydrated glow lasts about 2 weeks, with long-term improvements after a series.
Can I combine HydraFacial with other treatments like microneedling or laser therapy? Absolutely. Many clients alternate between HydraFacial and other clinical treatments for optimal results.
Are there any side effects or downtime? Minimal to none. Mild redness may occur but fades quickly.
How should I care for my skin post-treatment? Avoid exfoliants or retinoids for 2–3 days and maintain hydration and SPF.
