What to Expect During an AquaFacial
A Comfortable, Methodical Treatment Designed for Immediate Results
An AquaFacial is designed to be both effective and comfortable. The experience is structured, controlled, and predictable—focused on improving skin clarity and hydration without irritation, downtime, or discomfort.
At Denver Dream Medspa, AquaFacials are performed with precision and customization, ensuring the treatment supports your skin’s needs on the day of your visit.
Before Your AquaFacial Appointment
Prior to treatment, your provider will review your skin history, current skincare routine, and any recent treatments to ensure wet microdermabrasion is appropriate.
Patients are typically advised to:
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin
Avoid aggressive exfoliation for several days prior
Avoid sunburn or irritated skin
These steps ensure safe exfoliation and optimal hydration.
The AquaFacial Treatment Experience
Treatment Length
Approximately 30–45 minutes
Sensations You May Feel
Cool, refreshing water-based exfoliation
Gentle suction
No heat, stinging, or discomfort
Most patients describe the experience as soothing rather than clinical.
Step-by-Step Treatment Process
1. Wet Exfoliation & Cleansing
Water-based exfoliation loosens and removes dead skin cells and surface debris without abrasive friction.
2. Gentle Extraction
Controlled suction clears congested pores while minimizing irritation or redness.
3. Hydration & Serum Infusion
Targeted serums are delivered to freshly exfoliated skin, improving hydration and overall skin balance.
Each phase is adjusted based on your skin’s condition and sensitivity.
Immediately After Treatment
After an AquaFacial, skin typically appears:
Clean and refreshed
Hydrated and luminous
Calm, without redness or peeling
Patients may return to normal activities immediately and may apply makeup the same day if desired.
Downtime & Recovery
AquaFacials involve no downtime.
Most patients experience:
No redness
No flaking or peeling
No sensitivity
This makes AquaFacials ideal for busy schedules, travel, and same-day events.
How Your Skin Feels in the Days Following
In the days after treatment, many patients notice:
Improved hydration retention
Smoother texture
Better response to skincare products
Because the treatment is gentle, there is no delayed reaction or “shedding phase.”
How AquaFacials Are Used Strategically
AquaFacials are often scheduled:
As a monthly maintenance facial
Before special events or photos
After travel or seasonal changes
Between corrective treatments like lasers or microneedling
This strategic use ensures AquaFacials enhance—not interfere with—other skin services.
AquaFacials Within Skin + Tox Club™

Membership enables providers to:
Alternate AquaFacials with dermaplaning or lasers

This structure supports long-term skin health rather than one-off treatments.

Do not involve heat or light
Do not cause peeling or downtime
Do not rely on harsh acids
Do not require numbing
This clarity helps patients choose the treatment for the right reasons.
