Want glowing skin without the downtime? Looking for a facial that actually delivers visible results in 30 minutes?
HydraFacial at Manhattan Laser Spa gives you cleaner pores, brighter skin, and a hydrated glow you can see immediately. No redness. No peeling. No hiding at home for days.
Whether you’re dealing with clogged pores from Fort Lauderdale’s humidity, sun damage from beach days, or just want your skin to look its best, HydraFacial works for all skin types and concerns.
HydraFacial is a medical-grade facial treatment that uses patented Vortex-Fusion technology to cleanse, extract, and hydrate your skin all in one session.
Think of it as a deep clean for your face. The device uses a special spiral tip that creates a vortex effect. This vortex simultaneously vacuums out dirt, oil, and dead skin while infusing your skin with hydrating serums.
It’s not a regular spa facial where someone just rubs products on your face. The technology actually removes impurities from your pores while delivering active ingredients deep into your skin.
HydraFacial follows a three-step process. Each step builds on the last to give you that instant glow.
First, we remove dead skin cells and open up your pores. The HydraFacial tip gently exfoliates using a combination of gentle acids (glycolic and salicylic acid) and vortex cleansing.
This isn’t harsh like traditional peels. There’s no burning sensation. You’ll just feel a gentle gliding across your skin.
This step reveals fresh skin underneath and prepares your pores for deep cleaning.
This is where the magic happens. The vortex suction painlessly extracts blackheads, oil, and debris from your pores. No squeezing. No pain. Just gentle suction.
At the same time, the device infuses your skin with intense moisturizers and hydrating serums. Your pores get cleaned out while being flooded with hydration.
Most people say this step feels oddly satisfying. You can actually see the gross stuff being pulled from your pores in the collection chamber (if you’re into that sort of thing).
Finally, we saturate your skin with antioxidants and peptides. These ingredients protect your skin and give you that glowing finish.
The serums used in this step include hyaluronic acid (holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water), peptides (building blocks for collagen), and antioxidants (protect against environmental damage).
Your skin drinks up these ingredients, leaving you with a plump, hydrated, glowing complexion.
The entire process takes about 30 minutes for the Signature HydraFacial. Deluxe and Platinum treatments take 45-60 minutes and include additional boosters and LED therapy.
HydraFacial addresses pretty much every common skin complaint. Here’s what it helps with:
Clogged pores and blackheads: The extraction step pulls out all the gunk trapped in your pores. Living in Fort Lauderdale’s humidity makes pores work overtime. HydraFacial gives them a reset.
Oily skin: The deep cleaning helps regulate oil production. Your skin won’t overproduce oil to compensate for being stripped.
Dry, dehydrated skin: The intense hydration step replenishes moisture. This is huge if you’re spending time on Fort Lauderdale Beach or in air conditioning constantly.
Uneven skin tone: The gentle peel removes surface pigmentation, and the brightening boosters even out discoloration.
Sun damage and age spots: Regular treatments help fade dark spots and prevent new ones. Important when you’re soaking up Florida sunshine year-round.
Fine lines and wrinkles: The hydration plumps your skin, making fine lines less visible. Peptides and growth factors stimulate collagen production.
Enlarged pores: You can’t shrink pores permanently, but clearing them out makes them appear smaller.
Dull, tired-looking skin: The exfoliation and hydration give you an instant glow.
Acne and breakouts: The deep cleaning and salicylic acid help clear existing breakouts and prevent new ones.
Rough texture: Dead skin removal and hydration smooth out bumpy, rough skin.
We offer three levels of HydraFacial treatments. Which one you choose depends on your skin concerns and how much time you have.
This is our entry-level treatment. You get all three core steps: cleanse and peel, extract and hydrate, fuse and protect.
Perfect for HydraFacial first-timers or monthly maintenance. Great if you’re on a lunch break or have limited time.
Everything in the Signature, plus your choice of a targeted booster serum and LED light therapy.
Boosters target specific concerns like aging, brightening, or acne. LED light (red for anti-aging, blue for acne) enhances results.
This is our most popular option. It gives you more personalized treatment for your specific needs.
The ultimate HydraFacial experience. Includes everything in Deluxe plus lymphatic drainage at the beginning.
Lymphatic drainage manually drains fluid from your face and neck, reducing puffiness and boosting circulation. This preps your skin to absorb the treatment better.
Also includes treatment of your neck and décolleté, not just your face.
Choose this if you want the full spa experience or are prepping for a big event.
You can customize any HydraFacial with targeted boosters:
Growth Factor Booster: Stimulates collagen and elastin for anti-aging
Dermabuilder (Peptides): Reduces fine lines and improves firmness
Britenol: Brightens and evens skin tone, great for sun damage
CTGF: Powerful anti-aging booster for mature skin
We’ll recommend the right boosters during your consultation based on your skin concerns.
Almost everyone. HydraFacial is gentle enough for all skin types, ages, and concerns.
You’re a good candidate if you:
You should skip HydraFacial if you have:
What about pregnancy? This one’s tricky. The treatment itself is gentle and non-invasive. But some of the serums contain ingredients without enough pregnancy safety data. We recommend waiting until after you deliver and finish breastfeeding, just to be safe.
Here’s how your HydraFacial appointment goes at our Fort Lauderdale location:
Before Treatment:
You’ll come in with a clean face (or we’ll cleanse it for you). No special prep needed. You can even do HydraFacial on your lunch break.
We’ll talk about your skin concerns and which boosters might help. We’ll look at your skin type and customize the treatment.
During Treatment:
You’ll relax in a comfortable treatment chair. The aesthetician will move the HydraFacial device across your face in gentle, overlapping strokes.
It feels like a cool, wet brush gliding across your skin. Most people find it relaxing, almost like a massage for your face. The suction feels slightly odd at first but not uncomfortable.
You’ll hear the machine humming. Some people describe it as soothing. Others chat with their aesthetician the whole time.
The whole thing takes 30-60 minutes depending on which level you choose.
After Treatment:
Your skin will look immediately brighter and feel incredibly soft. You’ll see the glow right away.
There’s no redness, peeling, or downtime. You can put on makeup and go straight to work, dinner, or wherever you need to be.
Your skin will continue looking great for several days. Hydration peaks around 24-48 hours post-treatment.
Let’s be honest about results. You’ll see a difference right away, but here’s what that actually looks like:
Immediately after:
What you won’t see immediately:
HydraFacial gives instant improvement, but it’s not a miracle cure. Think of it as hitting the reset button on your skin.
Long-term results come from consistency. Monthly HydraFacials build on each other. Your skin gets progressively clearer, smoother, and more even-toned with regular treatments.
Most people notice significant improvement in pore size, texture, and overall skin health after 3-4 monthly sessions.
For best results, monthly treatments. Your skin cells turn over about every 30 days, so monthly HydraFacials support this natural renewal process.
Monthly maintenance is what most of our Fort Lauderdale clients do. It keeps skin clear, hydrated, and glowing year-round.
Every 6-8 weeks works if monthly feels too frequent or too expensive.
Before big events: Get HydraFacial 1-3 days before weddings, photoshoots, or important meetings. Your skin will be at peak glow.
After sun exposure: HydraFacial helps repair skin after beach days or vacations. The hydration and antioxidants help reverse sun damage.
You can’t overdo HydraFacial. Unlike chemical peels or laser treatments, there’s no risk of over-treating your skin.
People ask this all the time. Both are facials, but they work completely differently.
Regular spa facials rely on manual extraction (someone squeezing your blackheads with their fingers) and topical products applied to the skin’s surface. Results vary based on the aesthetician’s skill and technique.
HydraFacial uses medical-grade technology that physically removes impurities with vacuum suction while simultaneously infusing serums deep into the skin. It’s standardized and consistent every time.
Regular facials can be great for relaxation. But if you want measurable, visible results, HydraFacial delivers better outcomes with less discomfort and no downtime.
The best part about HydraFacial? There’s basically no aftercare.

Here’s what sets us apart:
Medical Oversight: We’re a medical spa, not just a day spa. All treatments are performed under physician supervision with trained medical aestheticians.
Genuine HydraFacial System: We use the authentic HydraFacial MD device, not knockoff systems. The technology matters.
Customized Treatments: We don’t do cookie-cutter facials. We assess your skin and customize serums and boosters for your specific needs.
Experienced Staff: Our aestheticians have performed thousands of HydraFacials. They know how to adjust the treatment for different skin types and concerns.
Fort Lauderdale Expertise: We understand South Florida skin. The humidity, sun exposure, and saltwater environment affect your skin differently than other climates. We tailor treatments accordingly.
Results Focus: We’re not about fluffy spa experiences (though you’ll certainly feel pampered). We’re about getting you real, visible results.
Whether you’re coming from Las Olas, Victoria Park, Coral Ridge, or anywhere in Broward County, we’ll help you get the healthy, glowing skin you want.
Not at all. Most people find it relaxing. You’ll feel gentle suction and cool serums on your skin, but there’s no pain, stinging, or burning.
The extraction step might feel slightly odd because you’re not used to something suctioning your skin, but it’s not uncomfortable. Many people say it’s satisfying to feel the gunk being pulled from their pores.
If you’ve had facials before with manual extractions (someone squeezing your blackheads), HydraFacial is way more comfortable.
Yes, but we don’t recommend it for at least a few hours. Your skin just absorbed all these amazing serums and ingredients. Let it breathe and show off that glow.
If you absolutely must wear makeup (work meeting, event), use light, mineral-based products. Heavy makeup right after kind of defeats the purpose.
Most people schedule HydraFacials in the evening or on days when they don’t need full makeup.
Maybe. Some people experience minor breakouts 1-3 days after their first HydraFacial. This is actually a good sign.
The deep extraction brings clogs and congestion to the surface. Things that were brewing deep in your pores get cleared out. This can cause temporary breakouts as that gunk works its way out.
If you purge, it’s usually mild and clears up quickly. Future HydraFacials typically don’t cause purging once your skin is clean.
Not everyone purges. If your pores are already relatively clear, you probably won’t see this.
Actually, it’s perfect for Fort Lauderdale’s climate. The humidity makes your skin produce more oil, which leads to clogged pores. The sun causes damage and pigmentation. Saltwater and chlorine are drying.
HydraFacial addresses all of this. The deep cleaning handles excess oil and congestion. The brightening boosters fade sun spots. The intense hydration counteracts drying effects from pool and ocean water.
We recommend monthly HydraFacials if you’re spending lots of time outdoors or at the beach. It keeps your skin balanced despite environmental stress.
Yes. HydraFacial is one of the gentlest treatments available. It’s non-irritating and doesn’t use harsh chemicals or abrasive exfoliation.
The Vortex-Fusion technology removes dead skin and impurities without scrubbing or scraping. The serums are formulated to be gentle even on reactive skin.
Tell us about your sensitivity during consultation. We can adjust the treatment, skip certain acids, and choose calming serums specifically for sensitive skin.
Honestly, people with sensitive skin often have trouble finding treatments they can tolerate. HydraFacial is usually a game-changer for them.
Absolutely. Skin is skin. Men deal with clogged pores, dullness, and aging just like women.
Actually, men often see great results because they typically don’t have a regular skincare routine. The deep cleaning and hydration makes a noticeable difference on skin that doesn’t get regular care.
Many of our male clients in Fort Lauderdale get monthly HydraFacials. It’s become normal preventative care, like going to the dentist.
Microdermabrasion blasts your skin with tiny crystals or a diamond tip to physically scrape away dead skin. It’s more abrasive and can cause redness and sensitivity.
HydraFacial uses gentle liquid exfoliation and suction. It removes dead skin without aggressive scraping. Plus, it simultaneously infuses hydrating serums, which microdermabrasion doesn’t do.
HydraFacial is gentler, more comfortable, and includes the crucial hydration step. You get better results with less irritation.
If you’re tired of dull skin, clogged pores, or just want to look more refreshed, HydraFacial can help.
Manhattan Laser Spa offers medical-grade HydraFacial treatments customized for your skin type and concerns. You’ll see immediate results with zero downtime, so you can look your best without disrupting your life.
