What Is a HydroFacial Booster?

• Potent, ingredient-packed “super serums” specifically formulated to drive visible clinical results.
• Each booster targets a defined skin concern (texture, tone, aging, hydration, oil control, or body areas).
• Delivered through HydraFacial’s patented Vortex-Fusion Technology which:
  • Pulls impurities, simultaneously infuses booster.
  • Keeps serum on skin longer → enhanced efficacy.
  • Activates once a treatment tip is locked onto the handpiece.
• Categories covered in this module: Signs of Aging, Tone & Texture, Dry or Oily, Targeted Body Areas.

Vortex-Fusion Technology & Tip Mechanics

• Tip Attachment
  • Mechanical action creates a vortex in the treatment chamber.
  • Dual action: exfoliation + infusion.
• Booster Deposition
  • Proprietary ingredient cocktails remain in contact with epidermis longer than with manual application.
  • Results in deeper penetration and synergistic effects with other modalities.

Booster Categories Overview

• Signs of Aging
• Tone & Texture
• Dry or Oily
• Targeted Body Areas
• Each category lists: treatable concerns, ideal candidates, complementary modalities, highlighted ingredients/boosters.

• Dehydrated, crepey texture
• Dull, fatigued appearance

Ideal Client Profile

• Already investing in anti-aging skincare or services (microneedling, IPL, fractionated lasers, fillers, Botox).
• Looking to refine texture, improve firmness, maintain results from other treatments.

Core & Partnership Boosters + Hero Ingredients

• Restore Booster

Key Ingredient Functions

• Peptides: short amino-acid chains; signal fibroblasts → collagen synthesis, elasticity, wound-healing.
• Growth Factors: mimic natural cytokines; accelerate dermal remodeling.
• Hyaluronic Acid (HA): humectant; attracts up to 1000\times its weight in water; plumps skin.
• Retinol: increases cell turnover & collagen production; gentle controlled delivery lowers irritation.

Synergistic Modalities

Conversation Tips

• Many clients hesitate to voice body-skin concerns; practitioners should initiate topic during consult.
• Sharing personal stories builds rapport & opens discussion.

Complementary Modalities

• IPL, CoolPeel, Fraxel, Body Contouring devices (e.g., RF skin tightening).

Ethical / Practical / Business Implications

• Custom booster selection ensures individualized treatment → higher satisfaction & retention.
• Synergy with clients’ existing regimens results in continual improvements rather than isolated gains.
• Collaboration with a Business Development Manager (BDM) recommended:
  • Tailor booster inventory to demographic demand.
  • Align upsell opportunities with complementary procedures.
• Always verify ingredient compatibility with patient contraindications (e.g., pregnancy & retinol, salicylic acid for aspirin-allergic patients).

Summary Checklist for Clinicians

• [ ] Identify primary skin concern (aging, pigmentation/texture, hydration/oil, body area).
• [ ] Select booster(s) with matching active ingredients.
