The Treatment
The HydraFirm
The HydraFirm is 23MD's signature combination facial. It pairs HydraFacial with BTL Exilis radiofrequency in a single, doctor-led session: first the surface is cleansed and hydrated, then targeted heat works on the deeper layers of the skin to support firmness.
Most facials work on the surface only. The HydraFirm treats two layers in one visit: surface clarity and deeper firmness.

About
What it is, how it works.
How it works
We begin with HydraFacial to cleanse, exfoliate, extract and hydrate. We then use BTL Exilis radiofrequency to deliver controlled heat into the deeper skin, supporting tightening over time.
Why it matters
Most facials work on the surface only. The HydraFirm treats two layers in one visit: surface clarity and deeper firmness.
