For general maintenance, many patients choose a HydraFacial® treatment every 4 to 6 weeks to align with the skin’s natural renewal cycle. This cadence can help support ongoing clarity and hydration. Those managing congestion may begin with more frequent visits, while others seeking a consistent anti-aging facial routine often space treatments monthly, per provider guidance.

What is a HydraFacial® and How It Works?
HydraFacial® is a non-invasive facial treatment that focuses on deep cleansing, exfoliation, gentle extractions, and the infusion of hydrating serums within one relaxing session. Often considered a modern deep-cleansing facial, it uses patented Vortex-Fusion® technology to move across the skin in a controlled, consistent manner. The process begins with the removal of surface buildup and debris, followed by a pore-clearing step that is designed to feel comfortable. The treatment then introduces ingredients such as antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid to support hydration and overall skin balance.
At At Xanadu Med Spa in Fort Collins, CO, each treatment is tailored to your skin’s current condition, whether you notice dryness, congestion, or uneven tone. The approach remains calm and attentive, allowing the skin to be cared for without feeling overstimulated. Many people choose this option as part of a regular skincare routine, as it fits easily into daily life without requiring extended recovery time.

Pre-Treatment Instructions
To help you achieve the best possible results from your HydraFacial® at Xanadu Med Spa in Fort Collins, CO, please follow these simple pre-treatment guidelines. Proper preparation ensures your skin is calm, balanced, and ready to receive the full benefits of the treatment’s active serums and boosters.
Discontinue Retinoids and Exfoliants (3–5 Days Before)
Avoid using retinoids (Retin-A, tretinoin, adapalene) and exfoliating acids such as glycolic or salicylic acid for at least 3 to 5 days prior to your appointment. This helps reduce sensitivity before a HydraFacial® treatment or deep cleansing facial.
Avoid Facial Waxing, Peels, and Laser Treatments (7 Days Before)
Refrain from waxing, chemical peels, or laser procedures on the treatment area for at least one week before your visit. Skin should remain calm and intact before a hydrating facial.
Hold Off on Botox® or Filler (48 Hours Before)
If you have recently received injectables, wait at least 48 hours before scheduling your facial. This allows the product to settle properly and supports a more balanced anti-aging facial experience. Also, avoid facial treatments for 48 hours after injectables unless your provider advises otherwise.
Stop Using Acne Medications or Topicals (5–7 Days Before)
Discontinue topical acne treatments containing benzoyl peroxide, isotretinoin, or similar active ingredients for 5 to 7 days before your appointment to help prevent irritation.
Avoid Direct Sun Exposure and Tanning (3–5 Days Before)
Limit sun exposure and avoid tanning for several days before your appointment. Sunburned or inflamed skin should not be treated. Apply SPF 30 or higher when outdoors.
Shaving Guidelines (Day Before or Morning Of)
If you plan to shave, do so the day before your appointment. Avoid shaving immediately before your visit, especially if your skin is prone to irritation.
Arrive with Clean, Bare Skin
Come to your appointment without makeup, sunscreen, or heavy skincare products. Clean skin allows for a more accurate assessment and better treatment application.
Communicate Skin Changes or Concerns
Inform your provider of any recent skincare changes, medications, or skin concerns such as sensitivity, dryness, or breakouts. This allows your treatment to be adjusted appropriately.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water in the days leading up to your appointment, as well-hydrated skin tends to respond more comfortably to treatment.
Post-Treatment Instructions
Your HydraFacial® treatment delivers instantly visible results, smoother, clearer, deeply hydrated skin that radiates health and confidence. To ensure those results last and your skin continues to improve over time, follow these simple post-treatment care steps:
Keep Your Skin Clean and Protected
Avoid washing your face or applying makeup for at least 6 hours after your appointment. This allows post-treatment serums to settle into the skin following a HydraFacial® treatment. When cleansing, use a gentle, non-exfoliating cleanser with lukewarm water to maintain comfort.
Protect Your Skin from the Sun
Skin may feel more sensitive to light after a hydrating facial. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily and limit prolonged sun exposure or tanning for at least 48 hours.
Skip Exfoliation for a Few Days
Avoid scrubs, retinols, glycolic acids, and other exfoliating products for 48 to 72 hours after your deep cleansing facial, as the skin has already been thoroughly exfoliated.
Do Not Irritate the Skin
Refrain from waxing, depilatory creams, or additional exfoliating treatments. Avoid over-the-counter acne products and ingredients such as retinol or tretinoin for up to 2 weeks, especially after an anti-aging facial.
Maintain Hydration
Drink water regularly and apply a moisturizer or serum twice daily. Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, peptides, and ceramides can help support skin comfort and moisture balance.
Avoid Heat and Sweating for 24 Hours
Skip saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga, and intense exercise for the first day after treatment, as heat may increase temporary sensitivity.
Use Gentle, Supportive Skincare
Choose mild, hydrating products in the days following your treatment. Avoid harsh exfoliants or strong active ingredients, and focus on skincare that supports the skin barrier and overall balance.
At Xanadu Med Spa in Fort Collins, CO, we recommend the following post-treatment essentials:
