Get answers to common questions about HydraFacial® Platinum™.

A full HydraFacial® Platinum™ appointment typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes, including consultation, lymphatic drainage, cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, LED therapy, and personalized recommendations for your skin.

Yes. The Platinum™ protocol is highly customizable for dry, oily, sensitive, or combination skin and addresses concerns like congestion, fine lines, discoloration, and inflammation with tailored serums and intensities.

Minimal to none. Most clients resume normal activities immediately with only mild, short-lived redness possible. LED therapy and lymphatic drainage reduce inflammation and speed recovery for faster results.

Monthly treatments are recommended for maintaining skin health and progressive improvement. Your clinician may suggest a buildup phase or adjusted spacing based on goals, skin condition, and complementary therapies.

Most clients report minimal discomfort during extractions thanks to the gentle vortex technique and hydrating serums. Topical soothing agents and careful technique further minimize pain; clinicians adjust pressure as needed.

Avoid retinoids and aggressive exfoliation for three to five days before treatment. Afterward, use gentle cleansers, broad-spectrum SPF, and hydrating products. Skip intense workouts and saunas for 24–48 hours and follow clinician advice.
