Who is it suitable for?

This treatment is for you if …

HydraFacial™ is the quickest solution if you want your skin to look refreshed straight away — no downtime, no preparation, with results after just one session.

You want an instant glow without a course of treatments — perfect before a wedding, a photoshoot or a date.

Your skin feels dull, your pores are blocked, and your complexion looks tired despite your skincare routine at home.

Are you looking for your first professional facial treatment — one that’s gentle, quick and delivers visible results?.

You have sensitive skin or rosacea — and need a cleanser that won’t irritate your skin.

If you regularly have more intensive treatments such as Volnewmer®, Vivace® or IPL, HydraFacial™ is your maintenance treatment in between.

Not suitable: HydraFacial™ cannot be performed if you have an active infection or herpes in the treatment area, active eczema or psoriasis, or are currently undergoing isotretinoin treatment. If you are allergic to aspirin, please let us know before the session — we will tailor the booster treatment to your individual needs.
HydraFacial Original Vortex-Fusion Technology Zurich alestetics
The technology

What HydraFacial™ is.

HydraFacial™ is the original treatment based on the patented Vortex-Fusion® technology developed by the American company HydraFacial LLC — a non-invasive procedure that combines deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation, pore extraction and the infusion of active ingredients in a single session.

What sets HydraFacial™ apart from common imitation hydra treatments is the Vortex-Fusion®-Technology — a patented handpiece that simultaneously cleanses, exfoliates and infuses active ingredients into the skin using a controlled micro-vortex. The result is a deep cleanse that pain-free and works gently and consistently — even on sensitive skin, for rosacea, or before important events.

AT ALESTETICS®
For us, HydraFacial™ is more than just a facial. We combine the original device with carefully selected Circadia® Boosters — selected individually to suit your skin type — as well as Dermalux™ LED phototherapy and scalp massage at every session. This transforms a cleansing treatment into a skincare ritual with immediate, visible results.

Indications

What HydraFacial™ treats.

Eight areas where HydraFacial™ is most commonly used — from an urgent need for a glow to regular maintenance.

01

Deep cleansing & blocked pores

Gentle pore extraction with no pressure and no pain — Vortex-Fusion® cleanses where hands and standard exfoliants cannot reach.

02

Dehydrated, dull skin

This active ingredient infusion provides instant hydration and a healthy glow — leaving the skin feeling soft, plump and healthy after the treatment.

03

Tired, stressed complexion

Microcirculation + Booster + Dermalux™ LED — A fresh, revitalised look in 60 minutes, ideal after a long week or before important occasions.

04

Sensitive skin & rosacea

A gentle method that does not involve mechanical abrasion — often suitable for reactive skin, provided the right booster is used.

05

Oily & blemished skin

Deep cleansing with an antibacterial effect — reduces visible blemishes and soothes inflamed areas.

06

Fine lines & early signs of ageing

Hydration and antioxidant boosters smooth out fine lines and improve skin quality over the long term.

07

Event preparation

Before a wedding, photo shoot, performance or date — ideally 1 to 3 days before the event for a visible glow without any risk.

08

Maintenance between treatments

Whether it’s Volnewmer®, Vivace® or IPL — HydraFacial™ maintains the skin’s condition without causing further irritation.

What sets us apart

Three things that make our HydraFacial™ treatment different.

Not all „Hydra" treatments are the same. At alestetics®, you get the original treatment — combined with boosters, light therapy and massage.

HydraFacial Deep Pore Cleansing Vortex Fusion Zurich alestetics
Technology

Genuine Vortex-Fusion® — not an imitation.

We work exclusively with the Genuine HydraFacial™ device the American company Hydrafacial LLC. The patented Vortex-Fusion®This technology combines cleansing, exfoliation and the infusion of active ingredients in a single step — without mechanical abrasion, without pressure, and without pain.

Method

Circadia® Booster: tailor-made — not a standard serum.

Instead of a standard serum, we choose the Circadia® Booster tailored to your skin type — whether you’re dealing with acne, pigmentation, anti-ageing or hydration. At the end of the session, you’ll receive Dermalux™ LED phototherapy and a relaxing Head massage — all in the same session.

Experience

Established in 2021 — the V-NISSG team.

HydraFacial™ has been an integral part of our skincare programme since we opened in 2021. Our V-NISSG-certified team was trained directly by the manufacturer. 590+ reviews with a 5.0-star rating — and HydraFacial™ is one of our most popular treatments.

Combinational logic

Rarely on its own. This is how we incorporate HydraFacial™ into your skincare routine.

HydraFacial™ is the cornerstone of any skincare routine — powerful on its own as a glow treatment, and even more effective when combined with active ingredients or microneedling.

Same session (following HydraFacial™)

Combinations

  • Fillmed NCTF® / Dermadrop TDA®

    Mesotherapy with 59 active ingredients or needle-free infusion of active ingredients — both penetrate significantly deeper into cleansed skin.

  • Vivace® RF Microneedling

    Open pores and a smooth skin surface — the perfect preparation for deeper RF microneedling results.

  • PolyPhil™ polynucleotides

    DNA biostimulation after cleansing the skin — a synergistic approach to improving skin quality and promoting regeneration.

Always included

At every meeting

  • Circadia® Booster

    Instead of a traditional face mask: a personalised booster tailored to your skin type and how you’re feeling that day.

  • Dermalux™ LED + SPF 50

    LED phototherapy soothes the skin after cleansing — SPF 50 provides protection on the day of the treatment.

  • Head massage

    During the treatment — it simultaneously relaxes and stimulates microcirculation.

By a long way

Not the same session

  • BioRePeel® / PRX-T33® (1 week apart)

    Exfoliation following a HydraFacial™ treatment — allowing the skin to regenerate between sessions.

  • Stellar M22™ IPL (2 weeks apart)

    IPL requires skin that is calm and not recently irritated — we leave a two-week gap between Hydra and IPL.

The procedure

This is how your session will work.

01
Before treatment

Skin assessment and choice of booster.

A brief consultation to discuss your skin type, current skin condition and goals. Based on this, we’ll select the right Circadia® Booster for you — whether for hydration, acne, pigmentation or anti-ageing. For first-time customers, we recommend the free AURA 3D skin analysis beforehand to create a personalised plan.

02
During the session · 45–60 mins

Cleanse, exfoliate, extract, moisturise.

Four steps using the Vortex-Fusion® handpiece: gentle cleansing, mild exfoliation, pain-free pore extraction and infusion of active ingredients using your chosen Circadia® booster. Followed by Dermalux™ LED phototherapy and a relaxing head massage. Finished with SPF 50.

03
After the treatment

Instant glow. No downtime.

You’ll leave the clinic with a visible glow — your skin will look clearer, plumper and fresher. You can wear make-up again on the same day. For long-lasting results, we recommend a HydraFacial™ treatment every 4 to 6 weeks.

Frequently asked questions

What you need to know before your treatment.

Eight questions we’re most frequently asked before a first HydraFacial™ session — answered honestly.

  • Does HydraFacial™ hurt?

    No. HydraFacial™ is completely painless — Vortex-Fusion® works gently, without any mechanical friction or pressure. Most clients find the treatment very relaxing, almost like a gentle massage of the skin’s surface.

  • How often should I have a HydraFacial™?

    We recommend every 4 to 6 weeks a HydraFacial™ treatment to maintain your glow and skin quality in the long term. For regular maintenance, we offer the 5-Point Commitment Plan — You can choose between HydraFacial™, BioRePeel®, PRX-T33® or Dermadrop TDA®.

  • What is the Circadia® Booster?

    Instead of a standard serum, we use Circadia® Boosters — a professional range of active ingredients that we select individually to suit each skin type.

    Boosters available from alestetics®: Hydration & Plumping, Brightening & Anti-Pigmentation, Anti-acne & Clarity, Anti-ageing & Firming. We’ll decide together during the session which booster is right for you.

  • Is there any downtime after a HydraFacial™ treatment?

    No downtime. You’ll leave the clinic looking radiant straight away and can get straight back to your daily routine — you can even wear make-up again on the same day. HydraFacial™ is one of the few treatments that requires no preparation time and no recovery period.

  • How much does a HydraFacial™ cost at alestetics® in Zurich?

    The following prices apply at alestetics® — each session includes a Circadia® booster, Dermalux™ LED phototherapy, a head massage and SPF 50:

    • HydraFacial™ facial — 45–60 mins, all inclusive CHF 250
    • Neck add-on + CHF 50
    • Decolletage Add-on + CHF 100

    With the Commitment Plan, you pay for 4 sessions — the 5th is included. Full price list at alestetics.ch/prices.

  • What sets HydraFacial™ apart from other hydrating treatments?

    HydraFacial™ is a patented, registered trademark from the American company Hydrafacial LLC, featuring Vortex-Fusion® technology. What you’ll often find advertised in many salons as a „Hydra treatment", „Aqua peel" or „Hydra dermabrasion" are often imitations that do not use the original device.

    At alestetics®, we work exclusively with the Genuine HydraFacial™ device and the boosters developed specifically for this purpose — that’s what makes the difference in terms of penetration, skin compatibility and results.

  • Can I have a HydraFacial™ before an event?

    Yes — and it’s one of the best treatments to have before a big event. We recommend 1 to 3 days before the event — the skin has had time to settle, the glow is clearly visible and there is no residual redness.

    Popular for: weddings, photo shoots, stage performances, dates or before important business meetings.

  • When is a HydraFacial™ not suitable?

    HydraFacial™ is not possible in cases of active infections or herpes in the treatment area, active eczema or psoriasis, or ongoing isotretinoin treatment.

    At Aspirin allergy Please let us know before your appointment — we will tailor the booster treatment to your individual needs to ensure it remains safe and effective.
