Want glowing skin in 30 minutes with zero downtime? That’s exactly what HydraFacial delivers. No needles, no pain, no recovery period. Just immediate results that make people ask what you did to your face.
Living in Dania Beach means your skin deals with intense sun, humidity, salt water, and probably more beach days than you can count. All that exposure takes a toll. If your skin looks dull, feels congested, or just doesn’t have that glow it used to, HydraFacial at Manhattan Laser Spa can help reset things fast.
Here’s what you need to know.
HydraFacial is a medical-grade facial treatment that cleanses, extracts, and hydrates your skin using patented vortex-fusion technology. Think of it as a three-step process that happens all at once: deep cleaning, painless extraction, and intense hydration.
It’s not a traditional facial where someone massages your face with products. It’s a device-based treatment that uses a special handpiece with spiral tips to literally vacuum out impurities while simultaneously infusing your skin with serums. The technology is called vortex-fusion because it creates a swirling motion that dislodges dirt and dead skin while delivering hydration.
The whole treatment takes about 30 minutes. You walk out with immediately visible results. Your skin looks brighter, feels smoother, and has an actual glow. Not the fake glow from highlighter. The real deal that comes from clean, hydrated, healthy skin.
Step 1: Cleanse and Peel
First, we cleanse your skin and apply a gentle exfoliating solution. This isn’t a harsh chemical peel that burns or causes peeling. It’s a light acid blend (glycolic and salicylic acid) that loosens dead skin cells and preps your pores for extraction.
The HydraFacial device gently removes this outer layer of dead skin, revealing fresh skin underneath. You’ll feel a light suction and cool water on your face. It’s actually pretty relaxing.
Step 2: Extract and Hydrate
This is where the magic happens. The device switches to a different tip that uses vacuum suction to pull out blackheads, whiteheads, and all the gunk clogging your pores. You can actually see what comes out in the collection chamber. Some people are grossed out by this. Others find it satisfying. Either way, it works.
Unlike manual extraction where someone squeezes your pores (which hurts and can cause scarring), this is completely painless. The vortex suction does the work without damaging your skin.
At the same time extraction is happening, your skin is being flooded with hydrating serums containing hyaluronic acid. So while impurities are being removed, moisture is being added. This simultaneous process is what makes HydraFacial different from regular facials.
Step 3: Fuse and Protect
The final step infuses your skin with antioxidants and peptides that protect and nourish. We customize the serums based on what your skin needs. Concerned about fine lines? We add peptides. Fighting hyperpigmentation? Brightening agents go in. Dealing with breakouts? Acne-fighting ingredients.
These serums penetrate deeply because your pores are clean and open from the extraction step. Your skin can actually absorb the good stuff instead of it just sitting on the surface.
HydraFacial addresses pretty much every common skin concern Dania Beach residents deal with:
Sun damage and brown spots are huge here. All that UV exposure from beach days, walking around Dania Pointe, or just living in South Florida adds up. The brightening serums help fade existing damage while antioxidants prevent future damage.
Clogged and enlarged pores from humidity, sweat, and sunscreen. The extraction process clears out congestion, and the hydration helps minimize the appearance of pores.
Fine lines and wrinkles from aging and sun exposure. The peptides and hyaluronic acid plump your skin and smooth out lines.
Dull, tired-looking skin that’s lost its glow. The exfoliation removes dead skin cells that make your complexion look flat. The hydration brings back radiance.
Uneven skin tone and texture from acne scarring, sun damage, or just genetics. Regular treatments help even things out over time.
Oily or acne-prone skin. The deep cleansing helps control oil production and prevents breakouts. The salicylic acid in the peel solution is particularly good for acne.
Dry, dehydrated skin. Florida’s sun and air conditioning both drain moisture from your skin. The intense hydration boost from HydraFacial helps restore balance.
What to Expect
You’ll come in with a clean face (no makeup). If you forget to remove your makeup, we’ll do it for you. The treatment happens in a comfortable treatment room. You’ll lie back and relax while we work.
The actual HydraFacial takes about 30 minutes for the signature treatment. If you add boosters or LED light therapy, it might take 45-60 minutes.
Does It Hurt?
Not at all. Most people find it relaxing. You’ll feel cool water on your face, gentle suction, and a slight tingling from the peel solution. That’s it. No pain, no discomfort. People often fall asleep during treatment.
Compare this to microneedling (ouch), chemical peels (burning sensation), or extractions done by hand (painful squeezing). HydraFacial is legitimately comfortable.
Immediate Aftercare
There’s zero downtime. You can put makeup on immediately if you want, though your skin will look so good you might not feel like you need it.
Your skin might be slightly pink for an hour or two. That’s normal and fades quickly. Some people experience no redness at all.
Avoid intense sun exposure for 24 hours. This is critical in Dania Beach. Your skin just got deeply exfoliated, which makes it more sensitive to UV damage. Wear SPF 30+ (you should be doing this anyway, but especially after HydraFacial).
Don’t use harsh exfoliants or retinoids for 24-48 hours. Your skin just got thoroughly cleaned and treated. Give it a break.
The basic HydraFacial is great, but you can customize it with add-on boosters for specific concerns:
Growth Factor Booster is the anti-aging powerhouse. It uses peptides that signal your skin to produce more collagen. Great for fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness.
Britenol Booster targets hyperpigmentation and uneven tone. Perfect for sun damage and brown spots.
DermaBuilder Booster focuses on texture issues, acne scarring, and overall skin quality.
LED Light Therapy can be added at the end. Red light stimulates collagen production (anti-aging). Blue light kills acne-causing bacteria (for breakouts).
Lymphatic Drainage helps reduce puffiness and promotes detoxification. Great if you’re dealing with under-eye bags or facial swelling.
We’ll recommend boosters based on what your skin needs during your consultation.
Immediately after treatment, your skin looks brighter and feels incredibly smooth. This isn’t subtle. People notice. You’ll probably get compliments.
24-48 hours later, results continue improving as your skin fully absorbs the serums and completes its healing response.
5-7 days post-treatment, you’re at peak results. Your skin looks plump, clear, and glowing.
After that, results gradually fade over the next few weeks as your skin goes back to its normal cell turnover process and environmental exposure takes its toll.
This is why monthly treatments are recommended. HydraFacial gives instant results, but maintaining them requires consistency. Think of it like working out. One session at the gym feels great, but you don’t stay fit from one workout. Same concept with your skin.
Most people see cumulative benefits with regular treatments. Your skin quality improves overall. Pores stay clearer. Tone becomes more even. Texture smooths out. You’re not just getting a temporary glow. You’re actually improving your skin health over time.
Pretty much everyone. HydraFacial works for all skin types and tones. Dry, oily, combination, sensitive, mature, young, fair, dark. All of it.
Great for people who:
Men love HydraFacial too. It’s not a “girly” facial with a bunch of fluff. It’s a straightforward, effective treatment that delivers visible results. Guys dealing with oily skin, enlarged pores, or sun damage see great improvements.
Who shouldn’t get it:
You should wait if you have active rashes, severe rosacea flare-ups, or sunburned skin. The treatment will irritate these conditions. Let your skin calm down first, then come in.
Pregnant women should check with their doctor. The serums are generally safe, but some providers recommend waiting until after pregnancy just to be cautious.
If you have extremely sensitive or reactive skin, mention it during consultation. We can adjust the treatment to be gentler.
Microdermabrasion uses crystals or a diamond tip to physically abrade your skin. It’s harsher and can cause redness. HydraFacial is gentler and gives better hydration.
Chemical peels use acids to cause controlled damage that makes your skin peel. There’s downtime (anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks depending on peel strength). Results are more dramatic for certain concerns, but you can’t do them as frequently. HydraFacial has zero downtime and can be done monthly.
Traditional facials involve manual extraction (painful), massage (nice but not particularly effective), and product application. Results are subtle and temporary. HydraFacial uses technology for deeper cleaning and better product penetration. Results are immediately visible and last longer.
Microneedling creates tiny injuries in your skin to trigger collagen production. It hurts, causes redness for days, and you need multiple sessions for results. It’s great for acne scarring and texture issues but not something you do casually before an event. HydraFacial is painless with instant results.
Each treatment has its place. For regular maintenance and instant glow, HydraFacial wins. For deeper concerns like significant scarring or advanced aging, you might need more aggressive treatments. We can help you figure out what’s right for your skin.
Your skin is constantly battling South Florida’s environment. Here’s how HydraFacial specifically helps with local concerns:
Sun damage is everywhere. Even if you’re religious about sunscreen, UV exposure accumulates. The brightening serums and antioxidants in HydraFacial help repair existing damage and protect against future damage.
Humidity clogs pores. Sweat, oil, and humidity create the perfect storm for clogged pores. The deep extraction process clears everything out.
Salt water and chlorine dry out skin. If you’re at John U. Lloyd Beach State Park or hitting pools regularly, your skin loses moisture. HydraFacial replenishes what’s been stripped away.
Air conditioning is dehydrating. You go from humid outdoor air to dry AC constantly. This confuses your skin and causes dehydration. Regular hydration treatments help maintain balance.
Year-round sun means year-round need for treatments. In other climates, people might take winter off from certain treatments. Not here. Your skin needs consistent care because the environmental stressors never stop.
Plan your HydraFacials around big events. Wedding at Dania Beach Pier? Get a treatment 2-3 days before. Photos at Dania Pointe? Schedule for the day before or day of. Your skin will be glowing in every picture.

We’re a medical spa focused on results-driven treatments. HydraFacial isn’t a side service for us. It’s something we do frequently and well.
Our aestheticians are trained and certified in HydraFacial technology. They understand skin types, concerns, and how to customize treatments for optimal results.
We use authentic HydraFacial equipment and serums. Not knockoff devices or watered-down products. The real system with the patented vortex-fusion technology.
We take time to assess your skin and recommend the right treatment level and boosters. No cookie-cutter approach. Your skin is unique. Your treatment should be too.
We’re honest about what HydraFacial can and can’t do. It’s an amazing treatment for maintenance, hydration, and instant glow. For more serious concerns, we’ll tell you if you need something else.
For maintenance and keeping your skin in great shape, monthly treatments work best. Your skin completes its natural cell turnover cycle about every 28-30 days, so monthly HydraFacials keep you ahead of the curve. If you’re trying to address specific concerns like persistent acne or significant sun damage, you might benefit from treatments every 2 weeks initially, then spacing out to monthly once your skin improves. For special events, get treated 1-3 days beforehand for peak glow timing.
Yes, HydraFacial is actually really good for acne-prone skin. The deep pore extraction removes the buildup that causes breakouts, and the salicylic acid helps control oil and bacteria. However, if you have severe cystic acne or active infections, we might recommend waiting until things calm down a bit. Pustules (active pimples with pus) shouldn’t be directly treated. The extraction process works best on clogged pores, blackheads, and whiteheads, not inflamed acne lesions. We’ll assess your skin during consultation and let you know if HydraFacial is appropriate right now or if you should wait.
No. This is one of the best things about HydraFacial. There’s no ugly phase. Your skin looks immediately better, not worse. You might have slight pinkness for an hour or two, but that’s it. You won’t peel, flake, or go through any awkward healing period. This is completely different from chemical peels where your skin literally sheds for days. With HydraFacial, the exfoliation happens during treatment through the vortex-fusion process. By the time you leave, the dead skin is already gone and you’re just left with the glow.
Generally yes, but it depends on how sensitive and why. HydraFacial is gentler than many other treatments, but it does involve exfoliation and extraction. If your skin is temporarily sensitive from sunburn or a recent procedure, wait until it calms down. If you have naturally sensitive skin that just reacts easily, we can adjust the treatment to be more gentle. We’ll use milder peel solutions, lighter suction pressure, and soothing serums. During consultation, be honest about your skin’s sensitivity so we can customize appropriately. Most people with sensitive skin tolerate HydraFacial well, especially compared to harsher alternatives like microdermabrasion or strong chemical peels.
Yes. Your skin will be clean and hydrated, making it the perfect canvas for makeup. That said, most people don’t want to cover up the glow. Your skin looks so good right after HydraFacial that makeup feels unnecessary. If you need to head to work or an event, go ahead and apply makeup. Just use clean brushes or applicators since your pores are freshly cleaned. And honestly? Consider going makeup-free for the rest of the day. Let your skin breathe and show off those results.
The immediate glow lasts about 5-7 days at peak intensity. After that, results gradually fade over 2-4 weeks as your skin goes through its normal processes and gets exposed to environmental stressors again. This is why we recommend monthly treatments. They maintain your results and build on previous treatments for cumulative benefits. Think of it like car maintenance. One oil change keeps your car running well for a while, but you need regular maintenance for long-term performance. Same concept. One HydraFacial makes your skin look great temporarily, but consistent treatments improve your overall skin quality and keep you looking your best.
HydraFacial uses medical-grade technology and patented vortex-fusion delivery. It’s device-based, not just someone applying products to your face. The extraction process is far more effective than manual squeezing, and the serum infusion penetrates deeper because it’s happening simultaneously with extraction. Regular spa facials involve cleansing, massage, masks, and manual extraction. They’re relaxing but results are subtle and temporary. HydraFacial delivers immediate, visible results that last. It’s performed in medical spas by trained professionals using FDA-cleared technology. The serums are medical-grade, not just nice-smelling spa products. You’re getting actual treatment, not just pampering.
Your skin deserves better than what it’s getting from your current routine. Between Dania Beach sun, humidity, and daily life, you need something that actually works without taking over your schedule.
HydraFacial gives you professional-level results in 30 minutes with zero downtime. No pain, no peeling, no waiting weeks to see results. Just immediate, visible improvement.
Schedule your HydraFacial at Manhattan Laser Spa to see what your skin can look like when it’s properly cleansed, hydrated, and treated. We’ll assess your specific concerns and customize the perfect treatment.
