What Does a HydraFacial Do for Your Skin?
HydraFacial is a three-step facial that cleanses and exfoliates, extracts congestion from pores with gentle suction, then infuses hydrating serums. At Skin Art MD in Burnaby (Metrotown) a session takes about 30 minutes, and most people resume normal activities the same day; mild, temporary pinkness is possible.
Think of it as a deep-clean and moisture reset rather than a treatment for lines or laxity. It is the lighter, quicker option in our facial lineup: HydraPeel adds acid-based exfoliation with a longer protocol, and the Signature Facial is the extraction-focused medical facial. A physician assessment decides which fits your skin.
Suction Extraction
A spiral tip and vacuum lift oil, debris and makeup residue out of pores, including blackheads and whiteheads.
Serum Infusion
After extraction, hydrating serums are worked into the skin. Boosters are chosen at the visit based on your skin.
Smooth, Hydrated Finish
Skin typically feels cleaner and smoother straight after the session, which is why many people book it before an event.
How Does the HydraFacial Vortex Device Work?
The handpiece pairs a spiral tip with vacuum suction. The motion loosens impurities while the same pass delivers hydrating solutions, so exfoliation, extraction and moisture happen in one continuous sequence.
Step 1: Cleanse and Exfoliate
Gentle exfoliation lifts away dead surface cells and prepares the skin for the steps that follow.
Step 2: Extract and Hydrate
Suction draws debris out of pores while moisturizing solutions are delivered at the same time.
Step 3: Fuse and Protect
Antioxidant and hydrating serums are applied to finish the session and support the skin barrier.

HydraFacial Burnaby Questions Answered
What is a HydraFacial and how is it different from a regular facial?+
A HydraFacial combines cleansing, exfoliation, suction extraction and serum infusion in one sequence using a single device. A regular facial usually relies on manual steps. It is gentle and focused on cleansing and hydration, not on lines or laxity.
Does a HydraFacial hurt?+
Most people describe it as a cool, damp brush with light suction. Tell the team if any area feels sensitive and the suction can be adjusted.
Will my skin be red afterwards?+
