Reveal New Layers Of Healthy Skin

Skin treatments are the most effective way to improve skin quality and are frequently performed with facial rejuvenation procedures like facelifts, browlifts, and neck lifts. Each of the aforementioned corrections produces profound anti-aging results, but not one will give you healthy, glowing skin. Blemishes caused by sun exposure and environmental pollutants become prominent with age, and can be unsightly. HydraFacials are a powerful way to renew your skin.

What Is A HydraFacial?

If you're looking for a luxurious and effective way to revitalize your skin, the HydraFacial offers a powerful solution. This non-invasive treatment deep cleans your skin, exfoliates it and removes dirt and impurities from your pores before finally boosting its level of hydration with medical-grade serums. Standard spa facials pale in comparison to the HydraFacial in Charlottesville which can remove the top layer of damaged skin and infuse the skin underneath with antioxidants and other vitamins for the growth of healthy, new cells.

How Is a HydraFacial Different From a Traditional Facial?

Unlike traditional spa facials, a HydraFacial is a medical-grade skin treatment that uses patented Vortex-Fusion® technology to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin in a controlled and consistent way. While standard facials often rely on manual exfoliation and extraction, HydraFacials use a specialized handheld device to gently remove dead skin cells and impurities while simultaneously infusing the skin with nourishing serums.

This advanced approach allows for deeper penetration of antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid without irritation. Because the process is precise and customizable, HydraFacials deliver more predictable, longer-lasting results and are safe for nearly all skin types, including sensitive skin.

The Signature HydraFacial

Experience the foundational HydraFacial treatment designed to cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and hydrate your skin. This non-invasive procedure removes dead skin cells and impurities while delivering nourishing serums packed with antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid.

The Deluxe HydraFacial

In addition to the core steps of cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration, the Deluxe HydraFacial includes the application of a customized booster serum tailored to your unique skin needs, such as anti-aging, brightening, or firming.

    What Is A HydraFacial Treatment Like?

    In our relaxing med spa, our expert team will discuss your specific needs and concerns and perform a thorough assessment of your skin. This is to determine which specialized medical-grade serums to use during the hydration phase. Then, your face will be cleansed before a specially designed tool is used to simultaneously clean your pores and infuse your skin with a custom serum blend. The treatment is gentle and soothing and typically takes 30 minutes.

    What Results Can I Expect After A HydraFacial?

    Your skin will be dewy and glowing, recapturing that twinkle of youth. Pore size will reduce, and the tone and texture of the skin will improve. HydraFacials stimulate the production of new, healthy skin cells, which means results will continue to improve over the next few weeks as new skin cells emerge. Our med spa team recommends repeat HydraFacial sessions for optimal results. The HydraFacial is tailored to treat the particular concerns you are having at the moment, so specific results vary from patient to patient.

    HydraFacial vs. Other Skin Rejuvenation Treatments

    HydraFacials are often compared to other popular skin treatments, but they offer unique advantages that set them apart. Unlike chemical peels or microdermabrasion, which focus primarily on exfoliation, the HydraFacial combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration into one comprehensive treatment.

    Chemical peels can be effective for certain concerns but often involve downtime, peeling, and irritation. Microdermabrasion provides surface-level exfoliation but does not deeply cleanse pores or deliver hydrating serums. The HydraFacial, by contrast, is gentle yet effective, providing immediate radiance while improving skin health over time.

    This makes HydraFacials an excellent option for patients seeking consistent, long-term skin maintenance as well as those looking for a quick refresh with visible results.

    I visted Chance + Co for the first time two weeks ago for a hydrafacial and neurotoxin appointment - the entire experience was wonderful! The front desk was so easy to work with when I was making my appointment and answered all of my (many) questions. I was promptly seen at my appointment time and my hydrafacial was so relaxing. I appreciated that Jessica took the time to explain the procedure at the start and during the process.  I will absolutely be back and cannot recommend them enough!

    After your HydraFacial, you should:

    • Avoid heavy makeup for the rest of the day when possible
    • Stay well hydrated to support skin moisture levels
    • Use gentle, non-exfoliating skincare products for 24 hours
    • Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect your refreshed skin

    Your provider may also recommend specific skincare products to help extend the benefits of your HydraFacial between treatments.
