The HydraGlacial Partnership
Elevating the World's Best Treatment
You've Built a $1.5B Empire. Now Let's Unlock the Next Billion.
The HydraFacial Phenomenon
- 35,000+ devices installed across 90+ countries
- 38% brand awareness—the #2 most recognized skin treatment globally
- Category-creating innovation that redefined an entire industry
- Millions of loyal patients and a thriving provider network generating $1.5B+ annually
- The undisputed gold standard in skin treatments
The Untapped Opportunity
Post-treatment redness is the ONLY thing standing between a good HydraFacial and a perfect one. Patients love the results but increasingly demand zero downtime—they want to go straight from your treatment room to a meeting, event, or camera.
This isn't a problem to solve. It's a premium feature to monetize.
The post-treatment experience represents the last frontier of innovation in skin treatments—and the biggest opportunity to differentiate premium providers, command higher pricing, and create entirely new revenue streams.
What if you could eliminate the only minor drawback of HydraFacial while simultaneously creating $1B+ in new capital sales, expanding into new clinical markets, and building an unassailable competitive moat? That's the HydraGlacial opportunity.
Introducing HydraGlacial
Two Protocols, One Transformative Partnership
The HydraGlacial combines HydraFacial's deep clean hydration with Glacial Skin's Cryomodulation™ technology to deliver zero-redness, camera-ready results. We've developed two integrated protocols to fit different provider preferences and patient needs.
HydraGlacial Gloss
- The complete 7-step integrated protocol
- 60 minutes total treatment time
- Alternates between HydraFacial and Glacial Skin steps throughout
- Includes: Cleanse, Glacial Peel, Extract, Glacial Mist, Glacial Mask, Fuse + Protect, Glacial Moisturizer
- Perfect for: Providers seeking the ultimate luxury treatment experience
- Pricing: $300-450 per treatment
HydraGlacial Glide
- The streamlined 5-step protocol
- 60 minutes total treatment time
- Simplified integration with fewer Glacial Skin touchpoints
- Includes: Cleanse, Glacial Peel, Extract, Glacial Mask, Fuse + Protect
- Perfect for: Providers seeking efficiency or patients with less congestion
- Pricing: $250-350 per treatment
Both protocols deliver the same transformative benefit: zero post-treatment redness and immediate camera-ready results. Providers can offer one or both based on their practice style and patient demographics.
The following slides detail each protocol step-by-step, so your providers can implement immediately.

From "Don't Make Plans" to "Ready for Your Close-Up"
1
The Old Way
Provider's Message: "Your skin might be a little red for a few hours, so maybe take it easy tonight. Avoid makeup and sun exposure."
Patient's Internal Response: "I guess I'll go straight home and wait for the redness to fade. I hope it's gone by tomorrow."
The Feeling: Slight disappointment, limitation, need to hide
2
The HydraGlacial Way
Provider's Message: "Your skin is absolutely flawless. You can walk out of here and go straight to dinner, a photoshoot, or a major event. You're camera-ready right now."
Patient's Internal Response: "I look incredible! I need to take a selfie and show everyone. I'm booking my next appointment before I leave."
The Feeling: Supreme confidence, delight, immediate gratification
In the age of Instagram and immediate gratification, the ability to deliver perfect, photo-ready results instantly is not just a nice-to-have—it's a competitive necessity.

Classified as a Class II Medical Device with rigorous safety and efficacy standards. This regulatory moat creates a sustainable competitive advantage and significant barriers to entry for any would-be competitors.

Why the HydraGlacial Partnership Defends and Extends Your Leadership
Elevates Patient Experience
HydraFacial is already known for exceptional results and comfort. The HydraGlacial protocol addresses the only minor inconvenience, creating an experience that competitors simply cannot match.
Increases Provider Value
Providers gain a new revenue stream, a powerful differentiation tool, and the ability to confidently treat even the most sensitive skin.
Builds a Competitive Moat
Low-cost knockoffs cannot replicate this combination. Glacial Rx's FDA-cleared, patented technology is protected intellectual property.
Reinforces Premium Branding
The partnership positions HydraGlacial as the most innovative, luxurious, and results-oriented platform on the market.
Creates New Corporate Revenue
Partnership fees, co-marketing initiatives, bundled equipment sales, and consumables revenue share diversify HydraFacial's business model.
1
Different Clinical Indications
Glacial Skin treats inflammation, redness, and barrier repair as primary concerns. HydraFacial treats congestion and texture. Minimal patient overlap.
2
Different Patient Profiles
Glacial Skin attracts patients with sensitive, reactive, or compromised skin who may avoid exfoliation-based skin treatments. HydraFacial attracts patients seeking a deep cleansing experience.
3
Additive, Not Substitutive
Providers report that offering both treatments increases total treatment volume. Patients who come for Glacial Skin often become HydraFacial candidates once their skin barrier is restored.
Critical Distinction: Glacial Skin's standalone treatments serve patients with rosacea, chronic inflammation, post-procedure recovery needs, and maintenance concerns—conditions where HydraFacial may not be indicated or desired. This expands your total addressable market rather than splitting existing demand.
The Capital Sales Opportunity: 33,800 Untapped Locations
HydraFacial has already done the hardest work: building relationships with 35,000+ providers worldwide. Glacial Skin has proven the technology with 1,200 installations. Together, we have a massive runway for immediate capital equipment sales.

Why This Is a Capital Sales Goldmine
Pre-Qualified Buyers
Your provider network is already investing in premium aesthetic equipment. They understand the value of FDA-cleared technology and have the capital budget for devices. No need to educate on the category—they're already believers in advanced skin treatments.
Established Trust & Distribution
HydraFacial has existing relationships, training infrastructure, and sales channels in place. Glacial Skin doesn't need to cold-call or build credibility from scratch. Your endorsement opens doors immediately.
Proven Demand Validation
1,200 providers have already purchased Glacial Skin devices independently, without HydraFacial's endorsement or integration. Imagine the conversion rate when it's positioned as the official HydraFacial enhancement and sold through your trusted channels.
Dual Revenue Model
Each HydraGlacial partnership location represents a capital equipment sale ($24,500-$37,000) per Glacial device (fx or Rx model) PLUS ongoing consumable revenue from both standalone treatments and HydraGlacial protocols.
Conservative Capital Sales Projection: If just 10% of HydraFacial's network (3,500 locations) purchases a Glacial device at an average of $30,000, that represents $105 million in immediate capital equipment revenue—before any consumable or treatment revenue.
HydraFacial has built the distribution network. Glacial Skin has built the technology. The 33,800-location gap between your reach and our current footprint represents one of the largest untapped capital sales opportunities in medical aesthetics.
The Standalone Glacial Skin Opportunity
A Separate $2B+ Market

Partnership Considerations: Your Questions, Answered
1
Will this complicate the HydraFacial protocol or require extensive retraining?
Absolutely not. HydraGlacial is designed for seamless integration—your providers can master it in under an hour. The protocols are intuitive, standardized, and built to complement your existing workflow without disruption. Most providers report being fully confident after just one demonstration. This isn't a complicated add-on; it's an elegant enhancement that makes your providers look like heroes to their patients.
2
Why partner with Glacial Skin instead of developing our own cooling solution?
Glacial Skin offers a turnkey solution with existing FDA clearances (including a unique product code), 120+ patents protecting the technology, and proven clinical results across 1,200+ installations. The company is a strong emerging brand in medical aesthetics with significant market momentum. Developing an equivalent solution internally would require years of R&D, millions in investment, and substantial regulatory and legal risk—including navigating Glacial Skin's extensive patent portfolio. This partnership allows immediate market entry with zero development cost and zero IP risk.
3
How will this impact our existing booster and serum sales?
The HydraGlacial protocol is complementary, not competitive. In fact, the cooling process may enhance booster absorption by improving barrier function. Providers can still upsell boosters as part of the core HydraFacial, then add the Glacial Glide or Glacial Gloss as a premium finishing step.
4
What if patients don't want to pay extra for the cooling step?
Most providers make HydraGlacial a standard part of their premium treatments because it's essential to patient satisfaction—not an optional add-on. When positioned as integral to achieving zero-redness, camera-ready results, patients see it as part of the value, not an upsell. For providers who do offer it separately, conversion rates are exceptionally high because the benefit is immediately visible and highly desired.
We've thought through the operational, financial, and strategic implications. This partnership is designed to be low-risk, high-reward for HydraFacial and your provider network.
