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

  • 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

  • Microneedling, CoolPeel, Fraxel, Injectables, SoftWave, IPL.

2. Tone & Texture

  • Clarifying Booster
    • Salicylic Acid (BHA) → lipid-soluble; dislodges sebum, exfoliates inside pores; acne reduction.
  • Circadia ChronoPeptide Booster
    • Multi-weight HA → layered molecular sizes assure surface hydration + deep-dermal moisture; decreases fine-line visibility.

Ethical / Practical / Business Implications

  • Custom booster selection ensures individualized treatment → higher satisfaction & retention.

  • 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.
