HydraFacial Signature

The Elysium Signature HydraFacial at Elysium Aesthetics + Longevity in Chicago, performed by HydraFacial specialist Kelsi Firek. Uses Vortex-Fusion technology to cleanse, exfoliate, extract blackheads, and infuse hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and peptides in one session. Addresses dullness, congestion, fine lines, enlarged pores, and dehydration. No downtime — suitable for all skin types.

Elysium Aesthetics + Longevity offers their signature HydraFacial experience in River North Chicago, administered by licensed esthetician Kelsi Firek who specialises in the HydraFacial system. The patented Vortex-Fusion handpiece performs a three-phase skin treatment in a single continuous session: the first phase uses a spiral-tip and mild glycolic-salicylic solution to simultaneously exfoliate the outer epidermal layer and deliver light chemical resurfacing, removing dull dead-cell accumulation and preparing the skin for active ingredient infusion. The second phase deploys vacuum-powered suction to draw sebum, blackheads, and comedonal debris out of follicle openings while simultaneously infusing a salicylic acid and botanical extract blend that loosens remaining congestion — an atraumatic extraction that avoids the redness and trauma associated with manual pore extraction. The third phase delivers a concentrated cocktail of stabilised hyaluronic acid, peptides, antioxidants, and growth factors directly into the cleansed and exfoliated skin, maximising ingredient penetration into the living dermis. As the Elysium Signature version, the treatment may include enhanced booster serums and add-on protocols selected by Kelsi based on individual skin assessment — options can include LED light therapy for additional anti-inflammatory or collagen-stimulating benefit, dermaplaning to remove vellus hair and surface debris prior to the main treatment, or lymphatic drainage techniques to reduce facial puffiness. The full session runs 45–60 minutes. There is no post-treatment downtime; skin typically appears immediately brighter, more hydrated, and clearer, with the glow peaking within 24 hours of treatment. The HydraFacial is suitable for all skin types and tones.
