We offer three types of facial:
Hydra-facial
A Hydra-facial is a non-invasive facial treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection. It uses a specialized device to perform a series of steps:
- Cleansing and Exfoliation: Removing dead skin cells and impurities.
- Acid Peel: Applying a mild chemical peel to loosen debris from pores.
- Extraction: Using a vacuum suction to remove blackheads and other impurities.
- Hydration: Infusing the skin with a hydrating serum that includes antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid.
- Protection: Applying additional serums or sunscreens to protect and nourish the skin.
The Hydra-facial aims to improve skin texture, tone, and hydration, making it suitable for various skin types and conditions.

Dermaplane Facial
A dermaplane facial is a skincare treatment that involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently exfoliate the skin.
The skin is exfoliated by removing dead skin cells and vellus hair (often referred to as peach fuzz).
This process helps to improve skin texture, enhance product absorption, and promote a smoother, brighter complexion. It’s often followed by a facial to hydrate and nourish the skin. It’s suitable for most skin types and can be a great option for achieving a fresh look.

The basic facial typically includes:

Hydrodermabrasion
Hydrodermabrasion is a non-invasive facial treatment that combines exfoliation with hydration.
It uses a specialized device to spray a stream of water and fine crystals onto the skin, gently removing dead skin cells and impurities. This process is followed by the infusion of hydrating serums, which help to nourish and rejuvenate the skin. Benefits of hydrodermabrasion include:
- Improved skin texture and tone
- Increased hydration
- Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Minimized pores and acne scars
It’s suitable for various skin types and is often recommended for those seeking a gentle yet effective facial treatment.
LED Therapy
LED light therapy is a skincare treatment that uses different wavelengths of light to target various skin concerns. Benefits include:
- Red Light: Stimulates collagen production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
- Blue Light: Kills acne-causing bacteria, helping to clear breakouts.
- Green Light: Reduces pigmentation and evens skin tone.
- Yellow Light: Soothes inflammation and improves skin texture.
The treatment is painless, non-invasive, and typically requires multiple sessions for optimal results. It can enhance overall skin health and appearance.
Facials FAQs
Most people can have a hydrafacial, as it is generally safe for all skin types and tones. However, individuals with certain skin conditions, like active acne, rosacea, or eczema, should consult with a professional beforehand. It’s always best to discuss your specific skin concerns with our provider at Sutton Dental & Medical Clinic.
Results from a Hydrafacial are typically immediate, with noticeable improvements in skin texture, hydration, and radiance right after the treatment. Many people leave the appointment with glowing skin.
Most people can benefit from a dermaplane facial, but it’s best for those with dry or dull skin. However, individuals with certain skin conditions, like active acne or eczema, should consult a dermatologist first. A professional can assess your skin type and determine if it’s suitable for you.
Dermaplaning results are typically immediate, with smoother and more radiant skin visible right after the treatment. The effects usually last about 3 to 4 weeks, depending on your skin type and routine. Because it’s a surface treatment, regular sessions (every 4-6 weeks) are recommended to maintain the benefits.
You might experience slight redness or sensitivity for a few hours after the treatment, but this usually subsides quickly. Most people can return to their normal activities immediately afterward. It’s advisable to avoid sun exposure and heavy makeup for a day or so to allow the skin to recover.
