Hydra-Dermabrasion & Bela MD® in Saint-Léonard.

Bela MD® is an advanced HydraDermabrasion device, and the "Aqua Facial" is the signature treatment it delivers. In one relaxing session at our Saint-Léonard clinic, the Bela MD®+ handpiece deep-cleanses your skin, gently resurfaces it, painlessly vacuum-extracts blackheads and congestion, then infuses a customized serum cocktail using electroporation for deep absorption. The result is instant radiance, smoother texture, refined pores and lasting hydration — with zero downtime. It's a true all-in-one treatment that replaces several separate steps with one comprehensive facial.

Both are HydraDermabrasion-style "aqua" facials that cleanse, exfoliate, extract and hydrate without downtime, so the experience feels similar. The key difference is the Bela MD®+ serum-infusion technology: it uses electroporation to drive a richer cocktail of actives deeper into the skin, and it can combine hydrodermabrasion with diamond-tip microdermabrasion in our Double-Dermabrasion protocol for a more complete reset. At our Saint-Léonard clinic we'll show you the full Bela MD® menu and match the protocol to your skin and budget — many clients find it a more customizable, results-driven option.

HydraDermabrasion ($185) is our most popular choice — a gentle, water-and-serum Aqua Facial for instant glow, hydration and refined texture, ideal for almost everyone. MicroDermabrasion ($185) uses a diamond tip to physically resurface dull, dead cells, making it a strong pick for rough texture, clogged pores, dark spots and early pigment. The Double-Dermabrasion ($235) combines both for the most complete cleanse and renewal in a single visit — best for stubborn texture, congestion and uneven tone. Not sure? A free Saint-Léonard consultation will point you to the right one.

None. Because Bela MD® works through water, suction and serum rather than aggressive abrasion or acids, there is zero downtime and no peeling. Most clients walk out with an immediate glow and head straight back to work, an event, or a night out across Saint-Léonard and the east end. You may notice your skin looks slightly flushed and feels deeply hydrated for the first hour — that's normal and settles into a radiant finish. It's one of the few treatments you can genuinely book the same day as a big occasion.

For maintenance and an ongoing healthy glow, most clients book a Bela MD® Aqua Facial every 4 weeks — aligned with your skin's natural renewal cycle. If you're targeting a specific concern like congestion, dullness or uneven tone, a starting series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart delivers the most visible, cumulative results. Many Saint-Léonard clients also book a single session before weddings, photoshoots or events for instant, downtime-free radiance. We'll recommend an exact cadence at your free consultation.

Results are immediate: you'll see brighter, smoother, more hydrated skin and a visible glow the moment you leave our Saint-Léonard clinic, with pores looking cleaner and makeup applying flawlessly. Over the following days the serum infusion continues to plump and even out your complexion, and results keep building with a regular series — improved texture, reduced congestion, more even tone and a lasting dewy quality. Because there's no downtime, you enjoy the glow right away, making Bela MD® a favourite for both maintenance and special occasions.

Pause Strong Actives

Stop retinoids and strong AHA/BHA exfoliants for 2 to 3 days before, so your skin is calm and resurfaces comfortably during the Aqua Facial.

Skip Waxing & Hair Removal

Avoid waxing, threading or laser on the treatment area for a few days before, to prevent unnecessary sensitivity.

Come Bare-Faced if You Can

You don't need to — we cleanse for you — but arriving without makeup lets us get straight to the deep cleanse and extraction.

Tell Us Your History

Let us know about cold sores, recent procedures, active breakouts, allergies or pregnancy so we tailor the right Bela MD® serum and protocol.

Apply SPF 30+ Every Day

Freshly resurfaced skin loves protection. Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily — Montréal's UV climbs fast in summer across Saint-Léonard.

Go Easy on Actives for 24h

Skip retinoids, acids and scrubs for about a day so your freshly infused skin stays calm and holds its hydration.

Hydrate & Let It Glow

Use the gentle, hydrating products we recommend. There's no peeling — just enjoy the dewy, radiant finish right away.

No Heat or Sweat for 24h

Skip saunas, steam, hot yoga and intense workouts for the first day to keep your refreshed skin comfortable.

Almost everyone. Because Bela MD® HydraDermabrasion is gentle and works through water and serum, it suits virtually all skin types and tones — oily, dry, combination, sensitive and mature skin alike. It's ideal for anyone wanting an instant glow, clearer pores, smoother texture or deeper hydration with no downtime. Treatment may be adjusted or postponed for active cold sores, broken or sunburned skin, certain active conditions, or during pregnancy for some serums — your esthetician will confirm exactly what's right for you during your free Saint-Léonard consultation.

Yes. Bela MD® pairs beautifully with advanced facials for hydration and maintenance, with Microneedling for texture and acne scars, and with a chemical peel on a separate visit for deeper resurfacing. A HydraDermabrasion is also a perfect "prep and glow" before an event. Your esthetician at our Saint-Léonard clinic will sequence treatments safely so they complement each other rather than over-stress your skin.
