HydraFacial & Glow Facials Aftercare
Medical facials have no downtime, but a little care in the first day helps the serums absorb and keeps your skin calm. If you are preparing for a wedding or event, timing matters too.
Your own doctor’s instructions always come first. If anything here is different from what you were told at the clinic, follow your doctor and ask us if you are unsure.
Before your appointment
- Avoid waxing, threading or bleaching the face for 1 week
- Pause retinol and strong acids for 3–5 days
- Avoid tanning

Aftercare questions
How long before my wedding should I get a HydraFacial?
Three to seven days before is ideal, after a trial session well in advance so you know how your skin responds.
