We at IMAGE REGENERATIVE were the first to introduce HydraFacial technology in Milano to Italy, recognizing its value not as a simple facial cleansing, but as an essential foundation of every regenerative medicine journey.
We offer this treatment as the ideal base for preparing the skin: deep cleansing and optimal hydration are essential to maximize the effectiveness of any subsequent medical protocol, ensuring that tissues are in the best conditions to regenerate.
What is HydraFacial Treatment and How Does It Work
HydraFacial is a medical-grade, non-invasive hydradermabrasion treatment that has revolutionized facial aesthetics. Its operation is based on patented technology (Vortex-Fusion) that, through a specific handpiece, generates a controlled vortex to clean, exfoliate and extract impurities painlessly.
Unlike traditional facial cleansings, HydraFacial combines different phases in a single session. The process begins with cleansing and mechanical exfoliation, followed by the application of a gentle acid peel (based on glycolic and salicylic acid) that softens the pores.
Subsequently, the extraction phase uses vortex suction to remove sebum, blackheads and impurities. Finally, the clean skin is infused with customized serums (boosters) rich in antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid.
HydraFacial Treatment Benefits: What to Expect
The benefits of a HydraFacial are visible immediately after the first session. Patients can expect visibly brighter, hydrated and soft-to-the-touch skin. The vortex technology ensures deep but gentle extraction, leading to a visible reduction in dilated pores and a more even complexion.
In the long term, regular treatments can help manage excess sebum, reduce acne and diminish fine lines and hyperpigmentation. At IMAGE REGENERATIVE, we consider the greatest benefit its ability to act as a skin "reset."
Clean and hydrated skin is the perfect canvas to maximize the effectiveness of more advanced regenerative treatments, such as our personalized regenerative analysis.
Treatment Preparation: What to Do Before a HydraFacial
HydraFacial requires minimal preparation, which makes it an easily accessible treatment. It is recommended to arrive at the appointment with a makeup-free face, if possible. No complex specific preparation is necessary, but it's always appropriate to inform our specialist if you are using topical medications or high-concentration retinoids. Its non-invasive nature makes it suitable for almost all skin types, but a preliminary evaluation ensures optimal customization of the serums to be used.
The Treatment Process: How Many Sessions Are Necessary?
The HydraFacial treatment process is a quick and comfortable experience, often described as a "cool massage" on the skin. The standard session duration is contained, making it perfect even for those with little time.
Regarding the duration of the effect, brightness and hydration results are immediate. However, for long-term goals such as acne management or spot reduction, a cycle of treatments is necessary. The ideal frequency is established during consultation: it can be monthly for maintenance, or more frequent to address specific issues.
At IMAGE, our standard protocol includes 3 treatments 40 days apart, with maintenance every 2 months.

HydraFacial Treatment Results for Facial Cleansing
HydraFacial results are tangible. Immediately after treatment, the "after" is characterized by an absence of redness (typical of manual facial cleansings) and skin that appears de-congested, compact and saturated with hydration. Patient reviews highlight how the skin is "smooth and plumped."
This medical facial cleansing leaves no marks, but only a healthy "glow." The effective removal of sebum and impurities creates a healthy skin base, essential for daily maintenance and optimal absorption of home products.
Patient Reviews on HydraFacial: Experiences and Opinions
Reviews on HydraFacial are uniformly positive, especially from those struggling with combination, oily or clogged pores. Many patients, in their experiences, say they are amazed by the sensation of deep cleansing obtained without any pain or discomfort, a stark contrast with traditional manual extractions.
The common opinion is that the skin not only appears cleaner, but feels "reborn," lighter and incredibly smooth to the touch. This high satisfaction has made HydraFacial one of the most requested and appreciated base treatments at our institute, precisely for its effectiveness as a foundation for more complex anti-aging journeys.
