Combination Package Guide: HydraFacial + Frio + IPL
Inside the 10-session Mixed Treatment package combining HydraFacial, Frio Lifting, and IPL: cost, how the sessions fit together, and who it's built for in SF.
What the Mixed Treatment Package Actually Is
Aesthetic OOGII's Mixed Treatment package bundles three services into one 10-session program: 4 HydraFacial sessions, 3 Frio Lifting sessions, and 3 IPL Photofacial sessions, for $1,650 total. That is less than the HydraFacial and IPL sessions alone would cost at single-session prices (the math is below), and the ten visits are split across three different services rather than repeating one facial ten times.
HydraFacial is the cleansing and hydration part. The manufacturer describes a treatment that combines gentle suction, exfoliation, extraction and serum infusion, and says that "in as little as one treatment" people see improvements in the appearance of skin quality, tone and texture (Hydrafacial). Frio Lifting appears on the studio's menu only by name, inside this package, with no description of the device or method. For context, one manufacturer, Zemits, markets a device it calls FrioLift for facial tightening and jawline definition (Zemits); that describes Zemits' product, not necessarily what the studio uses, so ask which device is used, how it works and what it is meant to do. IPL Photofacial uses filtered pulses of light aimed at brown spots, freckles, broken blood vessels and redness (UT Southwestern).
The bundle suits someone who already expects to want all three. If you only need one of them, a single-treatment package may be the better buy, and the cost section below compares the options.
Why These Three Treatments Together
The case for bundling is variety in one plan: three different services on one schedule, rather than ten visits of the same treatment.
HydraFacial is the easy one to fit into a week. The studio's menu describes it as painless, with no downtime, and says it can address acne, fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and dry skin. In this package Frio Lifting is booked as a series of three rather than a one-off, and it is the only way the menu sells it. Our Frio Lifting guide covers what the treatment is and what to ask before your first session.
IPL is the part of the plan aimed mainly at color: sun spots, freckling, and redness from small visible vessels are the targets UT Southwestern lists for it. We break down what IPL treats and its own results timeline in our IPL photofacial page.
Results from any of the three vary from person to person, and a bundle does not change that. What it changes is the plan: three treatments in one schedule, at a lower price than buying the HydraFacial and IPL sessions one at a time.

How the 10 Sessions Are Sequenced
The package breaks down as 4 HydraFacial, 3 Frio Lifting, and 3 IPL sessions. Ask at your first visit how the ten sessions will be sequenced for your skin.
One constraint shapes any schedule: IPL treatments are generally spaced about a month apart so the skin can heal in between (Healthline); UT Southwestern describes sessions two to four weeks apart. With three IPL visits in the package, that spacing alone puts the IPL part of the plan over several weeks: two gaps of two to four weeks each come to roughly four to eight weeks between the first and third IPL visit. The total length of the package depends on how the studio schedules all ten visits, so confirm it when you book. HydraFacial, which the menu lists as requiring no downtime, is the easiest to fit around the others.
There is also a deadline on the other end. The studio's policy is that series packages must be redeemed within a calendar year of purchase, so plan the ten visits inside that window. If you're deciding whether a slower combination approach or a single treatment fits your goals better, our HydraFacial guide covers the single-treatment option, including how it compares with a chemical peel.
Who This Package Is Built For
This combination isn't the right starting point for everyone. It fits clients who want to work on more than one thing at once, for example someone interested in HydraFacial and in IPL for sun spots or redness, and curious about Frio Lifting, rather than someone with a single, specific issue like active cystic acne. If acne is your primary concern, our dedicated acne treatment guide or the Acne Treatment service itself is a more direct fit.
It also suits people who are planning over weeks rather than for a single event before a wedding or trip. Because the IPL visits are spaced weeks apart, this package is a poor fit for a tight deadline; confirm the schedule before you buy.
IPL is not for everyone. UT Southwestern advises against it during pregnancy, while taking isotretinoin, with an active skin infection or a recent tan, and notes that people with darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) or melasma may not be good candidates (UT Southwestern). If any of that applies to you, a package with three IPL sessions in it may not be the right buy.
That is why the first step is a conversation, not a purchase. Every client at Aesthetic OOGII is offered a complimentary consultation with Oogii that includes an assessment of your skin, and the menu also lists a Skin Analysis/Deep Cleansing session (60 minutes, $175). Booking a $1,650 package before anyone has looked at your skin is the kind of decision that's better made after that assessment. The studio also asks clients to mention any health conditions, allergies, injuries or recent medical procedures when booking.

Cost Breakdown: Package vs. Booking Separately
Here's the math that makes the Mixed Treatment package worth considering if you already know you want all three services. Booked individually, 4 HydraFacial sessions at $325 ($1,300) and 3 IPL sessions at $300 ($900) already come to $2,200. Frio Lifting is only sold inside this package.
The Mixed Treatment for 10 Sessions (4 Hydrafacial, 3 Frio Lifting, 3 IPL) is priced at $1,650 total, which works out to $165 per session on average across three different treatment types. Against the other packages the gap is smaller: the IPL Photofacial 3-session package is $650, and the 6-session HydraFacial package ($1,150) works out to about $192 a session. If you only want HydraFacial and IPL, compare those two packages before deciding.
It's worth being clear about the trade-off, though. Buying the package means committing to a specific ratio (4:3:3) rather than customizing to your own concern mix. If your priority is heavily weighted toward one treatment (say, you want more IPL and less HydraFacial), a package built around a single treatment might serve you better than the mixed bundle. Packages are also non-refundable under the studio's policy, which is one more reason to settle the plan during your consultation first.
What to Expect Session by Session
Each of the three treatments feels different on the table, and knowing what's coming helps you plan your week around them.
HydraFacial: the menu lists a length only for the combination services (Hydrafacial & Acne and Hydrafacial & Collagen, 75 minutes each), so ask how long a package HydraFacial runs when you book. The menu describes the treatment as painless and says it requires no downtime.
Frio Lifting: the menu does not describe the method, so ask how the session works and what it feels like before your first Frio visit. For comparison only, one system sold under the FrioLift name alternates radiofrequency warming with cooling to between 0 and −8°C (Zemits); that is Zemits' specification, not a description of the studio's treatment.
IPL Photofacial: UT Southwestern describes a slight stinging sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. The menu lists the IPL Photofacial at 75 minutes. Pigmented spots may darken at first and then flake off over the next few days, and mild redness or swelling usually fades within a day or two (UT Southwestern; Healthline). UT Southwestern says to avoid sun exposure during recovery and use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.
UT Southwestern also notes that most people return to normal activities, including work, the same day after IPL. Follow the aftercare you are given for each treatment, and protect your skin from the sun around each IPL visit.
FAQ: The Mixed Treatment Package
How much does the combination package cost?
The Mixed Treatment for 10 Sessions (4 HydraFacial, 3 Frio Lifting, 3 IPL) costs $1,650 total at Aesthetic OOGII. That averages to $165 per session across the three treatment types. The HydraFacial and IPL sessions alone would cost $2,200 at single-session prices; Frio Lifting is only sold inside this package.
How long does it take to complete all 10 sessions?
It depends on the schedule the studio sets, so confirm it when you book. IPL treatments are generally spaced two to four weeks to about a month apart so the skin can heal between them, and the package includes three, so the IPL visits alone stretch over several weeks. Ask how the HydraFacial and Frio Lifting sessions will be scheduled around them. Series packages must be redeemed within a calendar year of purchase.
Can I customize the ratio of treatments in the package?
The package is structured as a fixed 4:3:3 split (HydraFacial:Frio Lifting:IPL). If your primary concern is weighted heavily toward one treatment, ask about single-treatment packages during your complimentary consultation instead, since that lets you build a plan matched to your skin.
Is this package right for someone who's never had a professional facial before?
It is better as a second step than a first. Every client is offered a complimentary consultation with Oogii that includes a skin assessment, and the menu also lists a Skin Analysis/Deep Cleansing session ($175). Having your skin assessed before committing to a multi-month, multi-treatment plan is the sensible order.
Do HydraFacial, Frio Lifting, and IPL require any downtime?
Little, for most people. The studio's menu lists HydraFacial as requiring no downtime. After IPL, mild redness or swelling usually fades within a day or two, pigmented spots may darken before flaking off, and most people return to work the same day. Ask what to expect from Frio Lifting, since the menu does not describe it. Follow the aftercare you are given, and avoid sun exposure and use SPF 30 or higher while recovering from IPL.
