Step-by-Step Guide: How to Perform Hydrodermabrasion
Preparation: Setting the Stage for a Safe and Effective Session
Before beginning a hydrodermabrasion treatment, a thorough preparation phase ensures both safety and optimal results. This includes setting up your Hydrodermabrasion device, sanitizing equipment, analyzing the client’s skin, and explaining the procedure. Prepare the device according to manufacturer specs, like filling water tanks, adjusting suction levels, and choosing the correct handpieces. Client comfort and understanding builds trust from the start.
| Preparation Step | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Skin analysis | Customize settings and serums |
| Sanitize device + handpieces | Ensure hygiene and safety |
| Explain treatment steps | Set client expectations |
The Procedure: Performing the Hydrodermabrasion Treatment
Begin with a gentle cleansing, followed by the water-based exfoliation phase. Use the selected tip to glide across the skin evenly—starting at the forehead and working downward in sections. Adjust vacuum pressure as needed. During treatment, you may alternate solutions (e.g. AHA-based for oily skin, HA for hydration). The client should feel a cool, gentle suction—not discomfort.
| Treatment Step | Key Technique |
|---|---|
| Step 1: Cleanse | Use mild foam cleanser and warm towel |
| Step 2: Exfoliate with water jet | Work in zones, follow lymphatic flow |
| Step 3: Serum infusion | Use product-compatible solution tank |
Post-Treatment Protocols and Aftercare
Once complete, gently pat skin dry and apply a soothing mask or cold hammer if your machine includes one. Follow with SPF and a short consultation on home care. Recommend repeat sessions every 3–4 weeks for best results. Remind clients to avoid sun exposure, strong actives (e.g. retinol), and heavy makeup for 24–48 hours.
| Aftercare Step | Why It’s Important |
|---|---|
| Apply SPF 30+ | Protects fresh skin barrier |
| No exfoliation 48 hours | Avoids irritation |
| Use hydrating serum at home | Supports healing + glow |
