The Treatment
The HydraFirm
The HydraFirm is 23MD's signature combination facial. It sequences HydraFacial, Dermapen microneedling and BTL Exilis radiofrequency in a single session to cleanse, resurface and tighten the skin in one carefully layered visit.
Most facials focus on one layer of the skin. The HydraFirm works across three — surface clarity, structural collagen and dermal tightening — in a single, doctor-led session. The result is skin that looks clearer immediately and continues to firm over the following weeks.

About
What it is, how it works.
How it works
We begin with HydraFacial to cleanse, exfoliate and extract — preparing a clear surface for active treatment. Dermapen microneedling then creates controlled micro-channels to stimulate collagen and refine texture. We finish with BTL Exilis radiofrequency to deliver targeted heat into the deeper dermis, supporting tightening and lift. Each step builds on the last.
Why it matters
Most facials focus on one layer of the skin. The HydraFirm works across three — surface clarity, structural collagen and dermal tightening — in a single, doctor-led session. The result is skin that looks clearer immediately and continues to firm over the following weeks.
