Clogged pores, dull patches, skin that drinks up moisturizer and still feels tight. Hydradermabrasion clears it all out and puts the good stuff back in. Using the Hydrafacial™ machine and a wet exfoliating tip, this facial deep cleanses, exfoliates and floods your skin with antioxidant-rich hydration. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin, pregnancy-safe, and comes with a massage that might just put you to sleep.
What Is Hydradermabrasion?
Hydradermabrasion is a facial treatment that deep cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates the skin in one session. It uses the Hydrafacial™ machine and a wet-tip tool to lift away dead skin, dirt and excess oil (sebum) while infusing a nourishing serum solution.
It exfoliates two ways at once. The tip gently resurfaces the skin mechanically, while the solution works chemically to loosen buildup and impurities. At the same time, antioxidants and hydrating ingredients are delivered straight into freshly cleansed skin, so it absorbs more of the good stuff.
Because the tip is wet and cushioned by serum, hydradermabrasion is gentler than traditional microdermabrasion. That makes it a great choice for sensitive skin, and it’s pregnancy-safe, too.

How Does a Hydradermabrasion Facial Work?
This isn’t just a quick machine treatment. At Lipstick Empire, hydradermabrasion is a full facial experience from start to finish.
Cleanse & Tone
We start with a thorough manual cleanse to remove makeup and surface impurities and prep your skin. A toner balances your skin’s pH so it’s ready to absorb everything that comes next.
Hydradermabrasion
The main event. The wet-tip tool exfoliates and deep cleanses while gentle suction lifts away dead skin and oil. At the same time, a nourishing serum solution infuses your skin with antioxidants and hydration.
Facial Massage
Now the relaxing part begins. A soothing facial massage boosts circulation and helps your skin absorb the products.
Décolleté and Hand Massage
We don’t stop at your face. A decadent décolleté and hand massage follows, and fair warning: this is where most clients drift off to snooze town.
Customized Serums and Moisturizer
We finish with serums chosen for your skin’s needs, then a moisturizer to lock in hydration and protect your skin barrier.
There’s no downtime. You can head straight back to your day with fresh, glowing skin.
Hydradermabrasion vs. Microdermabrasion
Both treatments exfoliate, but they get there differently. Hydradermabrasion feels gentler because the tip is wet and cushioned by serum, yet it cleanses more deeply thanks to suction and the exfoliating solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hydradermabrasion facial?
Hydradermabrasion is a facial that uses the Hydrafacial™ machine and a wet exfoliating tip to deep cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate your skin in one treatment. At Lipstick Empire, it also includes a cleanse, toner, massage and customized serums.
What does hydradermabrasion feel like?
It feels cool and wet, with a light suction as the tip moves across your skin. Most clients find it gentle and relaxing. Your skin may look a little pink afterward, but it fades quickly.
Is there any downtime?
No. There’s no downtime with hydradermabrasion, so you can go straight back to your day.
Is hydradermabrasion good for sensitive skin?
Yes. The wet tip and serum solution make it gentler than traditional microdermabrasion, so it’s a great option for sensitive skin. It’s also pregnancy-safe.

How often should I get hydradermabrasion?
You can expect visible improvement in your skin’s texture immediately after your first treatment. Because the effect is cumulative, your results will continue to improve with more sessions.
What's the difference between Hydradermabrasion and a HydraFacial?
Both use the Hydrafacial™ machine, but they’re built for different goals. Hydradermabrasion focuses on the machine’s wet-tip exfoliation and hydration, then wraps it in a full spa facial with a cleanse, toner, facial massage, décolleté and hand massage, and customized serums. It’s the one to book if you want great skin and a proper hour of relaxation.
A HydraFacial is the brand’s signature multi-step treatment. It typically adds a gentle acid peel and vacuum extraction to pull out deeper congestion, so it’s more targeted and results-driven. Not sure which suits your skin? Your skin expert can help you choose at your visit.
