Treatment
AquaFacial in Coquitlam
An award-winning, non-invasive treatment that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates your skin in a single session. No downtime. No irritation. Instant, visible results for every skin type.
What is AquaFacial?
AquaFacial is one of the most sought-after skin treatments in the world for a reason — it delivers real, immediate results without a single day of downtime or discomfort. The treatment works through a precise three-phase system: gentle exfoliation uncovers fresh skin by removing dead cells and surface buildup; painless vortex suction clears debris, blackheads, and congestion from pores while nourishing with intense hydrating serums; and finally, the skin is saturated with a targeted blend of antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid that maximizes radiance and supports long-term skin health.
At Smile Well Medical & Spa in Coquitlam, every AquaFacial session is fully customized to your skin's specific needs — whether you're targeting acne, pigmentation, fine lines, dehydration, or overall dullness. Most patients leave their appointment with visibly brighter, smoother, and more refined skin that speaks for itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes AquaFacial different from a regular facial?
Unlike traditional facials, AquaFacial uses patented vortex technology to simultaneously cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and infuse the skin with targeted serums in a single session. The result is a more thorough, consistent, and immediately visible outcome than conventional facial treatments can achieve, with no downtime or post-treatment sensitivity.
Is AquaFacial suitable for all skin types?
Yes. AquaFacial is designed to work effectively and gently across all skin types, including sensitive, oily, dry, combination, and acne-prone skin. The treatment is fully customizable, so serum selection and treatment focus are adjusted to suit your specific skin at every visit.
Can AquaFacial help with acne?
Yes. AquaFacial effectively unclogs pores, removes bacteria and excess oil, reduces surface inflammation, and infuses the skin with healing antioxidants and hyaluronic acid — making it an excellent option for acne-prone skin. It addresses active congestion while supporting the skin's overall barrier health.
When will I see results?
Results are immediate. Most patients leave their AquaFacial appointment with visibly brighter, smoother, and more hydrated skin the same day. Results typically last five to seven days, with cumulative long-term improvement developing through consistent monthly sessions.
How often should I get a AquaFacial?
Monthly sessions are recommended for maintaining consistently healthy, glowing skin. Your provider can tailor a treatment frequency and serum rotation plan based on your skin's evolving needs and seasonal changes.
Is there any downtime after AquaFacial?
None. AquaFacial requires no downtime or recovery period. You can apply makeup and return to your normal daily routine immediately following your appointment. Some patients experience very mild temporary redness that typically resolves within a few hours.
What should I avoid after my AquaFacial?
For the 24 hours following your treatment, avoid heat exposure including hot showers, saunas, and intense exercise. Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours and apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily. Hold off on retinoids and exfoliating actives until 48 hours post-treatment to allow the skin to fully absorb the treatment's benefits.
