Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Dermalogica Hydrating Facial.

This professional treatment uses Dermalogica humectants, hydrators and barrier-repairing serums applied with targeted massage and masks to replenish moisture, soothe inflammation and strengthen the skin barrier. Treatments are tailored to your skin type for immediate plumping and improved long-term hydration.

Ideal for dry, dehydrated, sensitive or climate-stressed skin. Also suitable for those seeking preventive care or a hydration boost before events. Our therapists assess skin condition and customize products to ensure safety for most skin types, excluding certain active treatment contraindications.

Sessions usually last 45–60 minutes depending on customization. Brief consultations add a few minutes. Follow-up homecare instructions are provided. Longer or express options may be available for add-on treatments or if combined with other facial services.

Minimal to none. Most clients experience immediate comfort, plumping and radiant skin. Mild redness or sensitivity can occur briefly, especially with exfoliation, but typically resolves within hours. We provide aftercare to protect results and advise sun protection post-treatment.

For maintenance, every 4–6 weeks is recommended to sustain hydration and barrier health. Those with chronic dryness may benefit from a series of monthly treatments initially. Your therapist will propose a schedule and suitable homecare products for optimal, lasting improvement.

We recommend avoiding heavy makeup for the rest of the day to let products absorb. Wait 24–48 hours before aggressive treatments like chemical peels, laser or waxing. Light makeup and gentle skincare are fine; confirm specifics during your consultation.
