Westlake Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery includes HydraFacial among their spa and rejuvenation services, administered by the clinic's licensed aestheticians. HydraFacial uses the patented Vortex-Fusion delivery system to perform a multi-step skin treatment without downtime or significant discomfort. The treatment follows a structured three-phase protocol. The first phase — cleanse and peel — uses a spiral-tip vortex handpiece to gently exfoliate dead surface cells using a mild glycolic and salicylic acid solution blend, removing dull stratum corneum accumulation and preparing the skin surface for the subsequent steps. The second phase — extract and hydrate — deploys a vacuum-assisted vortex suction mechanism to simultaneously loosen and remove blackheads, sebaceous debris, and congested material from follicle openings while infusing a salicylic acid and botanical extract blend that softens congestion without the trauma of manual extraction. The atraumatic nature of the Vortex-Fusion extraction means no post-extraction redness or follicle damage. The third phase — fuse and protect — delivers a concentrated serum containing hyaluronic acid for deep hydration, antioxidant peptides to neutralise free radical damage, and growth factors to support cellular renewal; these ingredients are infused into the freshly exfoliated and cleared skin surface for maximum penetration. Optional booster add-ons can customise the treatment for specific concerns — brightness, anti-ageing, or acne control. A full session runs approximately sixty minutes. There is no post-treatment downtime; skin typically appears immediately brighter, smoother, and more hydrated after a single session, with continued improvement over forty-eight to seventy-two hours. The clinic's blog cites a national average of approximately $225 per HydraFacial session.
