How Does Skinwave Facial Work?
Skinwave is an aqua-delivery system that comes with hydrogen therapy and highly personalized skincare formulations that address all your skincare needs. This treatment exfoliates the dead skin cells and infuses your skin with specialized skincare products to brighten your overall complexion.
Over time, oxygen dries out the skin and makes it age faster, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Skinwave’s aqua-delivery system delivers water infused with hydrogen molecules, combining it with oxygen in the skin. The hydrogen molecules bond with oxygen to form water molecules removed via specialized trips, thereby reducing inflammation and dryness.
After extraction, the treatment involves delivering alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), and hyaluronic acid. AHA exfoliates the dead skin cells and brightens complexion, BHA regulates excess oil production and cleanses skin pores, and HA soothes inflammation and boost’s your skin’s hydration. The aesthetic technician customizes the concentration of these products according to your unique needs.
The Skinwave device also features two handpieces. The electrical pulse handpiece delivers red and blue LED light energy to open pores and maximize the absorption of the skincare products. And the double-lifting handpiece facilitates lymphatic circulation and muscle relaxation, improving your skin’s overall health and lifting effects.

How Is Skinwave Facial Performed?
- Step 1: The aesthetic technician examines your skin quality, discusses your goals, and curates the ideal Skinwave facial treatment plan.

- Step 3: A highly calibrated concoction of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), and hyaluronic acid is delivered into the skin.
- Step 4: Pulses of LED light energy are delivered to open the pores and facilitate absorption.
- Step 5: Contouring rollers are used to provide a facial massage to facilitate muscle relaxation and lymphatic drainage.

Skinwave vs. Hydrafacial: The Differences
Skinwave and Hydrafacial® are both advanced, non-invasive facials that cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin; however, there are key differences that set them apart.
Hydrafacial utilizes a vortex fusion system to extract impurities and infuse serums. Many people consider it a good option for deep cleansing and hydration.
Skinwave is more advanced. It takes facial treatments a step further by combining multiple advanced technologies in a single session. It not only hydrates the skin and balances oil, but also infuses antioxidants to fight free-radical environmental damage. The hydrogen therapy gently removes impurities, while gentle pulses (electroporation) help serums absorb more deeply for better results.
Another unique feature of Skinwave is its optional use of LED light therapy. Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria and helps calm breakouts, while red light stimulates collagen and improves circulation, enhancing firmness and reducing the appearance of fine lines.
Together, these elements make Skinwave a comprehensive option for patients seeking a single treatment that refreshes, clears, and revitalizes their skin simultaneously.
Best Skin Types and Conditions for Skinwave
Skinwave is versatile, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types.
- Acne-prone skin: The treatment helps clear clogged pores, control excess oil, and reduce inflammation.
- Mature skin: Patients with mature skin benefit from its hydrating and antioxidant-rich solutions, which help minimize the look of fine lines and improve elasticity.
- Sensitive skin: Delicate skin also responds well, as the treatment is gentle yet effective, avoiding harsh abrasives that can sometimes irritate the skin.
- Dry skin: Dry skin responds well to Skinwave because the process deeply hydrates the skin.
No matter what your skin concerns may be, our aesthetic experts can tailor your Skinwave facial to achieve great results.
Combining Skinwave with Other Aesthetic Services
Skinwave pairs well with many other aesthetic services available at Medical Aesthetics LLC. Our team provides personalized recommendations on how to combine your treatments.
Because Skinwave includes some massaging and suction, it’s best to schedule your facial first if you’re planning injections, like Botox® or Juvederm®. That way, the Skinwave facial provides a clean, fresh “canvas” for your injections, and there are no worries about product migration (movement).
If you’re planning platelet-rich plasma (PRP) microneedling, or considering any other type of treatment, we’re happy to discuss your goals and help you determine the best order to schedule the treatments.
Clients often choose to schedule Skinwave before an event, or as part of a larger treatment plan, to enhance results and maintain skin health between more intensive procedures.
Post-Treatment Care Tips
Immediately after your first Skinwave treatment, your skin may look brighter, smoother, and more refreshed. Many clients also notice that their skin feels lighter and better hydrated.
You can return to your day immediately. To prolong results, it’s best to keep your skin hydrated, apply sunscreen daily, and avoid harsh or exfoliating products for the first 24–48 hours.
Over the next several days, you can expect to see continued improvement in clarity and tone as your skin responds to the treatment’s nutrient-rich serums.
