Hydro Facial treatments are not suitable for everyone and should be avoided under certain medical or skin conditions. Individuals with active infections or inflammation—such as cold sores, eczema, dermatitis, or severe acne - should postpone the procedure.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and specific medical histories, including cancer or autoimmune disorders like Lupus, also make Hydro Facial treatments unsuitable. Additionally, anyone who has recently undergone procedures such as laser therapy, fillers, or Botox should wait the recommended period before booking a session.
