Clears clogged pores, smooths uneven texture, reduces fine lines, and evens out skin tone

4-step facial featuring patented vortex-fusion technology and customizable serums

No downtime needed; walk out with a visibly radiant complexion

We recommend a monthly maintenance treatment to protect your skin barrier and maintain optimal results long-term
Hydrafacial is an advanced facial treatment that replaces traditional microdermabrasion with a gentler hydrodermabrasion technique. The Hydrafacial system is equipped with a patented vortex-fusion tip to perform deep exfoliation and painless extractions simultaneously. As the device glides over your face, it acts like a miniature vacuum to lift away debris while pumping rich, hydrating serums deep into the tissue.
Patients can choose from a selection of specialized serums infused with growth factors, brighteners, and intense antioxidants to address specific concerns. The treatment offers a deeply refreshing pore purging experience without the irritation of manual extractions and dermabrasion. At the same time, it rebuilds a healthy, hydrated skin barrier, providing an instant, radiant complexion.


Healthy hair begins at the root, yet the scalp is often overlooked in personal care routines. The Keravive scalp treatment extends Hydrafacial's vortex-fusion technology to address dry skin, clogged hair follicles, and poor circulation on the scalp.
This specialized treatment deeply cleanses the scalp, removing product buildup and dead skin cells that impede healthy hair growth.
Next, the opened-up hair follicles are infused with a hyper-concentrated blend of biomimetic growth factors and skin proteins. This clinical infusion works to nourish the scalp environment, improve circulation, and support thicker, fuller-looking hair over time.
A Hydrafacial is a soothing experience where you can recline and relax while our team cares for your skin. The session typically lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on your individual plan. The treatment includes four main steps, with optional add-ons and boosters available:

Your provider uses the specialized tip to sweep away the rough, dead cells on the surface of your skin while applying a gentle mix of glycolic and salicylic acids to loosen deep dermal debris.

The patented vortex suction tip is used to perform painless extractions, vacuuming out stubborn blackheads, dirt, and impurities from your pores.

We flood the open channels of your fresh skin barrier with a rich blend of antioxidants, peptides, and intense hydrating serums to plump up the tissue immediately.

A concentrated booster serum infused with growth factors or brighteners is custom-blended into your session to address your specific skin concerns. LED light therapy can be added to any Hydrafacial treatment to boost collagen production, kill acne, and reduce inflammation.
Hydrafacial is an excellent maintenance treatment for supporting overall skin health and clarity. After a session, you will see an instant improvement in several common skin conditions:

This medical-grade treatment provides a deeply relaxing, spa-like experience while incorporating advanced technology and proprietary serums that support your long-term skin health. It offers immediate results with no recovery time, letting you return to your day with a refreshed, radiant complexion.
Extractions are performed using gentle fluid pressure, avoiding redness and irritation. Scheduling regular treatments helps shield your skin from environmental damage and supports optimal skin health.

Hydrafacial is designed for adults of all ages, skin types, and tones. Because the vortex technology minimizes friction, it is safe for sensitive skin that typically reacts poorly to traditional microdermabrasion or harsh chemical peels.
Hydrafacials are not suitable for individuals with active sunburn or certain skin conditions. If you have a known allergy to shellfish or aspirin, please let our team know during your consultation, as certain specialized serums contain ingredients derived from these sources, and we will happily select a safe alternative formula for your session.
You will be able to see and feel visible results immediately after your session. This gentle treatment purifies your pores without leaving your skin red or irritated. Your complexion will look instantly plumper, smoother, and dewier, with a significant reduction in blackheads and large pores. This signature glow is why many patients choose to book a treatment right before special events, photo sessions, or vacations.
The initial boost in hydration and surface smoothness typically lasts for a week or more, while the internal improvements to your skin health continue to support your complexion over the following month. To maintain a radiant, refreshed skin tone and keep congestion and dullness at bay, we recommend making this a regular monthly maintenance treatment. Scheduling regular sessions and pairing them with high-quality at-home skin care products helps combat early signs of aging and keep your complexion looking its radiant best.

At Alchemy Medical Aesthetics, we believe that even foundational skin treatments deserve master-level care. Led by Elise Wilcox, PA-C, a board-certified physician assistant with over two decades of experience in aesthetic medicine. We provide a beautiful, welcoming space and personalized care built on long-term relationships with our clients. We are passionate about providing premium care with a deeply human touch in the heart of Sugar House and Cottonwood Heights.
Yes, the deep cleansing and gentle extraction steps work beautifully to clear out the trapped oil and dead cells that contribute to mild acne and congested skin. We utilize a specialized serum containing salicylic acid to calm down overactive sebaceous glands and soothe minor surface irritation. If you have severe, widespread inflammatory acne, we will customize a gentler protocol to protect your skin barrier while it heals.
We recommend waiting at least five to seven days after receiving other cosmetic procedures, like injectables, before scheduling your skin treatments. This brief pause ensures that your dermal fillers or neuromodulators have completely settled into their proper anatomical positions and that any minor tenderness at the injection site has fully resolved. Once that window passes, combining these therapies is a fantastic way to improve both volume and surface texture.
Yes, this liquid-based skin treatment is safe and gentle for sensitive skin because it relies on smooth fluid pressure instead of physical dermabrasion and the manual extractions performed during traditional facials. The non-invasive technology allows our practitioners to customize the vacuum suction levels and choose specialized serums designed for your unique skin needs.
While the mechanical exfoliation is perfectly safe, certain standard serums contain salicylic acid, an ingredient we generally prefer to avoid during pregnancy. However, our team can easily customize your session by swapping out these specific formulas for pregnancy-safe alternatives that provide beautiful hydration without any risk. Always let our clinicians know if you are pregnant or nursing so we can keep your care completely safe.
Traditional microdermabrasion relies on a dry, abrasive crystal tip to physically scrape away the surface of your skin, which can sometimes cause microscopic scratching and significant redness on sensitive skin. This advanced system uses a smooth tip and liquid fluid pressure to lift away dead cells while simultaneously infusing the tissue with hydrating serums. This makes the treatment far more comfortable, highly effective, and completely safe for delicate skin types.
Not at all, as the gentle suction is carefully calibrated to lift away blockages without placing stress on the surrounding tissue. In fact, removing stubborn plugs of hardened sebum and dirt allows the stretched walls of your pores to naturally draw closer together. Over time, keeping your skin free of congestion will help your pores appear noticeably smaller and more refined.
Having a history of oral herpes or cold sores does not prevent you from enjoying this treatment, as the device is incredibly gentle. However, any aggressive skin treatment can occasionally trigger a viral flare-up if you are already prone to them. We simply recommend discussing this with our team beforehand so we can provide a preventative antiviral medication to ensure your absolute comfort and safety.
While you will notice an immediate plumping effect right after your very first visit, reducing early fine lines and wrinkles long-term requires a consistent approach. Most patients see a meaningful improvement in their skin elasticity and texture after a series of three to six treatments. Hydrafacials are recommended every 4-6 weeks for optimal results.
We strongly advise leaving your skin completely bare for the remainder of the day to allow the nourishing serums to absorb fully into your open pores. Applying cosmetics right away can re-clog the freshly cleared channels and limit the effectiveness of the treatment. By the following morning, you can safely return to your normal makeup routine using clean brushes.
