How long does a Hydrafacial last and what results can I really expect?

Hydrafacial is one of the most requested facial treatments in the world, but there are often doubts about how long it takes, the immediate results and whether it is worth combining with other treatments. We answer everything from a medical perspective.

How long does a Hydrafacial session take in clinic?

A complete Hydrafacial session at Clínica Robega lasts between 45 and 60 minutes, depending on the specific boosters added to the protocol (anti-ageing, anti-dark spot, anti-acne, intensive hydration or intense radiance).

This time includes skin preparation, the classic Hydrafacial steps (cleansing + exfoliation + painless extraction + infusion of active serums), application of the personalised booster and the final 5 minutes of protection and photoprotection.

What results are noticed IMMEDIATELY after a session?

This is probably the feature most valued by our Hydrafacial patients:

  • Immediate radiance: the skin reflects light naturally, without a greasy effect or artificial shine.
  • Deep hydration that is perceptible to the touch, not only visual.
  • Visibly cleaner, tighter and more refined pores.
  • More even texture, especially in patients with accumulated make-up residue or a dull complexion.

How long do Hydrafacial results last over time?

The immediate "good skin" effect usually lasts between 5 and 10 days after a single session, depending on skin type, home routine and exposure to stress factors (sun, heating, heavy make-up).

For long-lasting results over time, our standard medical recommendation is:

  • An initial protocol of 3 sessions spaced 14-21 days apart.
  • Subsequent maintenance every 4-6 weeks to preserve texture and radiance.

Is it worth combining Hydrafacial with other treatments?

In a very large number of cases, yes. Hydrafacial is an excellent gateway treatment because it prepares the skin to receive active ingredients and allows other protocols to penetrate better:

  • Combining Hydrafacial + superficial medical peeling is ideal for patients with dark spots or uneven texture.
  • Hydrafacial + hyaluronic acid (24-48h later) gives an overall result of "rested, plump, glowing skin" much sought after by patients before events.
  • Hydrafacial + facial mesotherapy works very well on mature skin that needs both radiance and an extra supply of nutrients.
