HydraFacial Aftercare Instructions (Printable Handout)

The table shows what published sources say to expect, and where each line comes from. The editor above uses the same lines. Your own protocol, device and product come first.

There is no FDA patient labeling for HydraFacial aftercare, and the two peer-reviewed studies we read do not publish an aftercare protocol. One imaging study found that the outer layer of the skin was thinner right after treatment and had returned to baseline thickness at two weeks. A 12-week study found a series of six treatments was generally well tolerated, and one of its authors is employed by The HydraFacial Company.

For the actual care lines, this template uses the AAD page on microdermabrasion, which covers a similar gentle exfoliating treatment. The editor shows the source next to each line so you can see which are borrowed from similar guidance.

HydraFacial menus often include boosters, serums, peels or LED light. The handout cannot know what you used, and the post-care for a booster can differ from a basic treatment. Use the blank lines to name the moisturizer or sunscreen you sell and any products to pause, and add a line for anything specific to the add-on.

1. Add your practice name and phone number. Both print at the top and bottom of the handout.
2. Read each line. Uncheck what does not match your protocol, rewrite what needs your wording, and fill in the blanks marked "Fill in".
3. Add your own lines for products, follow-up dates or anything specific to your devices.
4. Show it to your medical director. Then print it, save it as a PDF, or copy it as plain text for your patient portal or a text message.

Your text stays in your browser. Only the practice name and phone are saved in the page address, so you can bookmark or share the link with your team.

Once the handout is final, it works best when it goes out automatically. Prospyr's digital intake and charting keep each patient's instructions with their visit, and the med spa software page shows how the rest of the practice fits around them. For related handouts, see the chemical peel aftercare template and the dermaplaning aftercare template.

• The product used in each step, boosters, serums and LED settings.
• Screening for who should not have the treatment. That is a pre-visit decision.
• A treatment schedule. The research above is not a recommendation.

It is a template to review and edit with your medical director before giving it to patients. It is not medical advice, and it does not replace your provider's instructions for a specific patient.
