At the Stern Center, the VISIA™ Complexion Analysis system can guide your treatment plan by highlighting the areas of greatest concern.

What Results Can You Expect?
Most patients notice smoother, brighter, and more hydrated skin immediately after their first treatment. With regular sessions every 4-6 weeks, results accumulate, improving skin elasticity, reducing discoloration, and maintaining a youthful glow. HydraFacial also supports long-term skin health by improving your skin’s ability to retain moisture and repair itself.
Are There Any Side Effects or Recovery Needs?
HydraFacial requires no downtime. You may experience slight redness or tightness immediately after treatment, but these effects are temporary and resolve quickly. Unlike traditional microdermabrasion, HydraFacial is gentle enough for sensitive skin and rarely causes irritation.
