Good to know
Who it suits
Hydrafacial suits most people whose skin feels dull, congested or dry and who want a fresh-feeling face without much time off.
It isn’t for everyone. If you have an active skin infection, a cold sore or very reactive skin, we may suggest waiting or choosing a different facial.
Before your visit
Stop retinoids and exfoliating acids 2 to 3 days before, and avoid facial waxing, threading or a fresh peel that week.
Tell us about prescription skin products, recent laser or peels, pregnancy and any skin condition you’re managing. We do a quick skin check before we start.
After your facial
You may be a little pink for an hour or so. Keep your skin care gentle for 24 hours and wear SPF, even on grey November days.
Hold off on retinoids, strong acids, saunas and intense workouts for a day or two. Call 416 537 3333 if anything worries you.
Risks, plainly
Hydrafacial is gentle, but no treatment is risk-free. Short-lived redness, warmth and sensitivity are common. Some people get a small breakout in the following days, and irritation or a reaction to a serum is rare but possible.
Please tell us if you use retinoids or other prescription skin products, have had a peel or laser recently, or have an active skin condition such as a rash, infection or cold sore. Your aesthetician goes over what to expect before we begin, and we’ll change the plan or reschedule if needed.
About Hydrafacial
How often should I get a Hydrafacial?
Many clients book about once a month. Our 3 and 6 session packages make this easier.
Is there any downtime?
Minimal for most people. You may look a little pink for an hour or so, and most clients go back to their day.
Is it good for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Usually, yes. Our hydration and acne facial is designed for breakout-prone skin. Tell us about your skin at booking.
How much is a Hydrafacial in Toronto?
At SSKN Firm, a Hydrafacial is $199, or $550 for three sessions. See our booking page.
How far before an event should I book?
We usually suggest booking about a week before a wedding or big night out, so any pinkness or a small breakout has time to settle. Book two weeks out if it’s your first Hydrafacial and you’d like a practice run.
How long does a Hydrafacial take?
The core Hydrafacial fits comfortably into a lunch break, and add-ons like dermaplaning or lymphatic work add a bit of time. The booking page shows the time for each option, and we’re a short walk from Runnymede station.
Can I wear makeup after a Hydrafacial?
Many people are happy to go without, but if you’d like some, waiting until the evening or next morning gives your skin time to settle. A light mineral powder is usually fine if you need it sooner.
What skin conditions should I mention?
Tell us about rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, cold sores, active breakouts or any rash, plus anything your doctor or dermatologist has prescribed. It helps us choose the right settings and serums, or tell you honestly if today isn’t the day.
Can I have a Hydrafacial while pregnant?
Please ask your doctor first and tell us when you book. We may leave out certain serums or add-ons, and we’ll keep things simple.
How is Hydrafacial different from the SSKN 101 Facial?
Hydrafacial uses a device to cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate in a set sequence. The SSKN 101 is hands-on, with steps your medical aesthetician picks for your skin that day. Plenty of clients alternate between them.
Is Hydrafacial included in a membership?
Yes. The Facial Edition membership is $149 a month plus HST, and each month you can choose the SSKN 101, Hydrafacial, IPL or Sublime. Ask our front desk about the current membership terms.
What add-ons can I choose?
You can book Hydrafacial with dermaplaning for $225 or with lymphatic work for $275, plus HST. Lymphatic work can also be added for $75 plus HST. We’ll talk through whether an add-on makes sense when you arrive.
What should I avoid before my appointment?
Skip retinoids, exfoliating acids and scrubs for 2 to 3 days, and avoid facial waxing, threading or a fresh sunburn. If you get a cold sore, call 416 537 3333 and we’ll move your appointment.
