What is an AquaJet Facial?
AquaJet (also known as Hydrapeel microdermabrasion or Hydrafacial) delivers multi-stage deep cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and oxygenates your skin as it stimulates microcirculation, your body’s own process for reviving and revitalizing your skin.
AquaJet is the newest innovation in non-invasive skincare, offering a needle-free solution for serious results. Using patented technology, AquaJet uses pressurized oxygen to accelerate a jet stream of liquid micro-droplets. It creates tiny micro-channels in the skin to deliver nutrients down to the dermal layer.

How does AquaJet treatment work?
The outer layer of your skin is referred to as your epidermis and the deeper layer is the dermis. Your dermis is made up primarily of collagen and provides your skin with structure and elasticity. Loss of collagen is one factor that causes your skin to age.
AquaJet uses a highly pressurized jet of oxygen to penetrate your dermis and infuse it with cleansers, nutrients, and serums. During the procedure, your provider will clean your skin using a mixture of pressurized oxygen and saline water using a wand. They’ll then provide you with a custom serum depending on your needs.
A complete AquaJet treatment takes approximately 30-60 minutes (Depending on treatment) and includes; lymphatic drainage, exfoliation, and a customized serum infusion of natural, bioactive skin nutrients to address specific skin conditions. With no irritation or redness, you will be able to return to your daily activities immediately. Visible results can be seen after one treatment, with continued improvement over several sessions.
AquaJet vs HydraFacial: what is the difference?
If you searched for a HydraFacial near Elmhurst and landed here, you are in the right place. HydraFacial is a brand name for a type of treatment called hydradermabrasion: a machine that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts and infuses serums in one pass with no downtime. AquaJet is our hydradermabrasion system, and it does the same four things with one difference in how it works.
| AquaJet Facial | HydraFacial | |
|---|---|---|
| Type of treatment | Hydradermabrasion | Hydradermabrasion |
| How it delivers serum | A pressurized jet of oxygen and micro-droplets that pushes serum into the skin without touching it, plus a gentle lymphatic massage | A spiral suction tip that exfoliates and vacuums while infusing serum |
| Feel | Cool, needle-free, no suction marks; comfortable on sensitive and rosacea-prone skin | Gentle suction; some people notice mild redness for an hour |
| Downtime | None | None |
| Customization | Serums chosen for your skin at each visit; add dermaplaning, a light peel or LED | Boosters chosen from the HydraFacial menu |
| Time | 30 to 60 minutes; 30 minute express available | 30 to 60 minutes |
| Price at Accelerated Aesthetics | Starting at $250; $75 express for new clients; included monthly in the Glow Getter membership | Not offered here |
The short version: if you like what a HydraFacial does, you will like an AquaJet. Clients who switch most often say the oxygen jet feels gentler and leaves them with less redness, which is why we chose it for Elmhurst. Results look the same in the mirror: clearer pores, brighter tone and that plump, hydrated glow that lasts a couple of weeks.
How often should you get an AquaJet facial?
Your skin cell turnover cycle is about 4 weeks, so a monthly AquaJet keeps pores clear and the glow steady. That is also why a monthly AquaJet is built into the Glow Getter membership. If you are prepping for an event, book 3 to 5 days before so the hydration has peaked and any tiny bit of pinkness is long gone. For congested or acne-prone skin, two visits a month for the first couple of months then monthly works well.
Make it a combo
AquaJet pairs well with dermaplaning ($55 add on) for an extra smooth, makeup-ready finish, with a light chemical peel or PRX-T33 for pigment and texture, and as the prep step before microneedling. It is also the facial we recommend the week of a wedding or photos, because there is nothing to recover from.
AquaJet and HydraFacial FAQs
Is an AquaJet facial the same as a HydraFacial?
They are the same category of treatment, hydradermabrasion, and give the same result: deep cleansing, exfoliation, extractions and serum infusion with no downtime. HydraFacial uses a suction tip; AquaJet uses a pressurized oxygen jet that never touches the skin, which many clients find gentler. If you want a HydraFacial in Elmhurst, AquaJet is our version.
How much does a HydraFacial or AquaJet facial cost in Elmhurst?
The AquaJet facial starts at $250. New clients can try a 30 minute express AquaJet for $75, dermaplaning is a $55 add on, and Glow Getter members get a monthly AquaJet included. See the pricing page.
How often should you get a hydradermabrasion facial?
Once a month matches your skin’s natural turnover cycle and keeps results steady. Congested or acne-prone skin can start with two a month, then move to monthly.
Is a HydraFacial or AquaJet worth it?
If you want visibly cleaner pores, brighter tone and hydrated skin the same day with zero downtime, yes. It is the most requested facial at our Elmhurst studio for a reason. If your main concerns are deep wrinkles, scarring or loose skin, microneedling, peels or RF treatments will do more, and we will tell you that at your consultation.
Does it hurt and is there downtime?
No. The oxygen jet feels cool and slightly tingly, more like a massage than a treatment. You can put makeup on and go back to work right after, and most clients come in on a lunch break.
Is AquaJet good for acne, sensitive skin or rosacea?
Yes. Because nothing scrapes or suctions the skin, it is one of the few deep-cleaning facials that works for sensitive and rosacea-prone skin. For acne, the extraction and anti-bacterial serum step clears congestion without the irritation of manual extractions. Active cystic breakouts are treated around, not over.
How long do the results last?
The glow and hydration are obvious for 1 to 2 weeks, and pores stay clearer for about a month. Each visit builds on the last, so monthly clients see steadier texture and tone over time.
How soon before an event should I book?
3 to 5 days before. There is no downtime, but that window lets hydration peak and gives makeup the smoothest base. Add dermaplaning for photos.
What should I avoid after an AquaJet facial?
Skip retinoids, acids and scrubs for 48 hours, wear SPF, and avoid heavy sweating, saunas and waxing the face for 24 hours. Otherwise your normal routine is fine.
