In a world of beauty marketing claims, it can be difficult to separate genuine science from hype. The HydroGlow Facial — our most popular treatment — is built on decades of dermatological research into skin hydration, exfoliation, and antioxidant delivery.
The treatment combines three clinically validated mechanisms: vortex extraction (which creates a vacuum effect to unclog pores without manual trauma), chemical exfoliation using a blend of glycolic and salicylic acids at precise pH levels, and a final antioxidant infusion that delivers vitamin C, peptides, and hyaluronic acid directly into freshly exfoliated skin.
A 2023 study in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found that patients who underwent four consecutive hydrafacial treatments at three-week intervals saw a 43% improvement in skin texture scores and a 28% reduction in fine line depth. These aren’t subjective assessments — they’re measured with VISIA skin analysis systems.
At Form Studio, we’ve refined the protocol further by customizing the acid concentration for each client based on a pre-treatment skin analysis. We also add LED light therapy as a complimentary add-on for clients on the Skin Series package, which has been shown to accelerate post-treatment recovery by up to 40%.
