Yes — many sensitive clients can receive a Clarifying Hydrafacial with modifications. We perform a thorough consultation, choose gentler exfoliation and serum strengths, and may do a patch test. Severe sensitivity or active dermatitis might need alternative treatments first.

Extractions and exfoliation can cause mild to moderate discomfort, but most clients tolerate the procedure well. Our technicians use careful techniques and calming serums; topical numbing can be applied if needed. Minor redness typically resolves within a day or two.

After a Clarifying Hydrafacial, use a gentle cleanser, hydrating serum, and broad‑spectrum SPF daily. Avoid harsh acids, retinoids, and heavy exfoliation for 48–72 hours. Follow your technician’s tailored homecare to maintain results and prevent new breakouts.
