HydraFacial in Bellevue

HydraFacial is the #1 skincare treatment people ask for by name in the U.S. It cleanses, exfoliates, extracts and hydrates the skin in a single treatment, personalized to your skin type and concerns.

Its patented Vortex-Fusion™ technology uses a spiral tip that clears pores while it delivers serums into the skin. HydraFacial’s studies show it increases absorption of topical products compared with applying them by hand, and it is designed for all skin types and tones with no downtime.

We treat with the newest HydraFacial system, Syndeo™, which adds built-in lymphatic therapy and red and blue LED light therapy.

At Serenity Rejuvenation Center, HydraFacial is part of a physician-led practice. Dr. Stephen O’Connell has treated pigment, sun damage and tattoo removal with Cynosure lasers since 2010, so your facial is planned with your whole skin picture in mind, not as a one-off spa visit.

Lymphatic therapy. Gentle lymphatic drainage reduces puffiness and preps the skin (Platinum).

Cleanse and peel. The skin is deeply cleansed, then gently exfoliated with a mild acid step that loosens dead skin and debris. It is far gentler than a traditional chemical peel, with no peeling afterward.

Extract. Gentle vortex suction clears clogged pores and impurities.

Booster. A concentrated serum targets your specific concern, such as dullness, uneven tone or fine lines (Deluxe and Platinum).

LED light therapy. Red LED supports collagen and calms redness; blue LED targets acne bacteria (Platinum).

Hydrate. The skin is saturated with antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid for a balanced, natural glow.

Signature HydraFacial, about 30 minutes. Cleanse, peel, extract and hydrate. Ideal for maintenance and low-maintenance skin.

Deluxe HydraFacial, about 45 minutes. The Signature plus a booster chosen for your skin concern.

Platinum HydraFacial, about 60 minutes. The complete experience: lymphatic therapy, booster and LED light therapy, for a full skin reset.

Add-ons: HydraFacial Perk™ lip and eye treatments, and treatments for the neck and décolleté. Ask us which option fits your goals.

HydraFacial suits most skin types and tones. It is a good fit if you have:

• Dull, dry or dehydrated skin
• Clogged pores, blackheads or oily skin
• Uneven texture or fine lines
• An event coming up and want skin that looks its best
• Pigment concerns and want a gentle maintenance treatment between laser sessions

If you have active skin conditions, are pregnant, or use prescription retinoids, tell us when you book so the treatment can be adjusted.

Many of our patients come to us for Pico pigment treatment or PicoSure Pro Platinum Focus. HydraFacial pairs well with that care: it keeps the skin clean, hydrated and ready between laser sessions, and helps maintain results once your pigment plan is complete. Dr. O’Connell will tell you how to time the two treatments for your skin.

A HydraFacial takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment you choose. Most patients find it relaxing, often describing a cool, light suction feeling. Most people can return to normal activities the same day, and many notice smoother, brighter skin right away.

Wear sunscreen daily afterward, and avoid harsh exfoliants for a few days. Many patients book a HydraFacial monthly to keep results going.

Is HydraFacial the same as a chemical peel?
No. It includes a mild acid exfoliation step, but it is much gentler than a traditional chemical peel and usually has no peeling or downtime afterward.

Does it hurt?
Most patients find it comfortable. Comfort is personal, so tell us if anything feels too strong and we will adjust it.

How often should I get one?
Many patients come monthly. We will suggest a schedule that fits your skin and goals.

Can I wear makeup afterward?
It is best to let your skin breathe for the rest of the day.

Can I combine HydraFacial with laser treatment?
Often, yes, with the right timing. Dr. O’Connell plans this as part of your overall treatment.
