Hydrafacial: 3-in-1 facial treatment at the PHENICIA Clinic
The Hydrafacial® treatment is a non-invasive aesthetic medicine treatment that deep cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates in a single session.
At the PHENICIA Clinic, this facial protocol is designed for women and men who want to restore a more luminous complexion, smoother texture, and visibly more supple skin, without any downtime or discomfort.
Often recommended as skin preparation before certain cosmetic surgeries (facelifts, rhinoplasty, etc.), Hydrafacial naturally fits into an overall beauty regimen to maintain the quality of the face over time.
What is Hydrafacial treatment?
Hydrafacial is a three-step facial protocol that combines deep cleansing, extraction of impurities, and intense hydration through the infusion of serums rich in hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and peptides.
A 3-step skincare routine
- Deep cleansing and controlled exfoliation to smooth the skin's surface.
- Extraction of impurities (blackheads, sebum, pollution residues) by gentle suction.
- Intense hydration thanks to serums rich in hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and peptides.
The effects in practice
- Cleanses, exfoliates, and refines skin texture.
- Treats enlarged pores and blackheads.
- Enhances hydration and skin suppleness.
- Instantly restores radiance to the complexion.
Unlike a simple skin cleansing treatment at a salon, Hydrafacial uses patented hydradermabrasion and Vortex-Fusion® technology: the system creates a swirling effect that cleanses, exfoliates, and removes impurities while infusing targeted active ingredients into the skin.
Performed in a medical office at the PHENICIA Clinic in Marseille, Hydrafacial is suitable for all skin types, including the most sensitive, and does not require any downtime.
What skin problems can Hydrafacial treat?
The Hydrafacial treatment targets the most common facial issues through its combined action of deep cleansing, extraction, and infusion of highly concentrated active ingredients.
Oily & congested skin
Shine, excess sebum, enlarged pores, blackheads, and recurring blemishes. Gentle suction purifies the skin's surface without damaging it.
Dry & dehydrated skin
Tightness, discomfort, dehydration lines. Serums containing hyaluronic acid restore skin suppleness.
Dull complexion & lack of radiance
Tired skin, uneven texture, dull complexion. This gentle peel reveals your skin's natural radiance and evens out its texture.
First wrinkles & fine lines
Fine expression lines and loss of tone. Peptides and antioxidants visually smooth the skin's surface.
Pigmentation spots & irregularities
Some superficial hyperpigmentation can be reduced in addition to other targeted treatments.
Skin preparation & care
Ideal before cosmetic surgery (facelift, rhinoplasty) or between sessions of peels, lasers, or microneedling to optimize tolerance and results.
Who is Hydrafacial treatment for?
Hydrafacial is suitable for all skin types: fair or dark, normal, dry, combination, or oily with acne-prone tendencies. This facial treatment can be incorporated into different stages of a beauty regimen, both preventative and corrective.
Patients concerned
- Women and men of all ages.
- Young skin with blemishes or clogged pores.
- Mature skin seeking a more radiant and better hydrated complexion.

Contraindications & precautions
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding (as a precautionary measure).
- Recent treatment with oral isotretinoin (timeframe to be determined with your doctor).
- Severe inflammatory acne, active herpes, or open lesions on the treated area.

During the aesthetic medicine consultation, the practitioner systematically checks for any contraindications and adapts the protocol to your skin.
How does a Hydrafacial treatment work?
Each session begins with a personalized facial diagnosis: analysis of your routine, your skin type, and your goals. The protocol is then adjusted according to your needs (intensity, boosters, targeted areas). A session lasts an average of 30 to 45 minutes.
Cleansing & exfoliation
- Removal of dead cells and excess sebum.
- Gentle fruit acid peel to smooth the surface.
- Optimal preparation for the penetration of active ingredients.
Extraction & hydration
- Vortex-Fusion® controlled suction: blackheads and impurities.
- Gently unclogs enlarged pores.
- Infusion of moisturizing serums (hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, peptides).
Infusion of active ingredients & protection
- Immediate improvement in radiance.
- Visible smoothing of dehydration lines.
- Protection against external aggressions.
Depending on your protocol, LED light therapy can be added to optimize regeneration and soothe redness. The treatment is painless, with sometimes a slight suction or tingling sensation, which is quickly transient.
