What is the HydraFacial™ Treatment
The HydraFacial™ treatment is exactly what you are looking for if you feel your skin needs some special loving care from a professional. Especially if you are concerned about harsh treatments with long recovery times. Rough, dull skin, breakouts, and clogged pores can all be frustrating and stubborn conditions to treat. With HydraFacial™ treatments, you’ll experience a gentle, effective alternative to other treatments that provide exceptional results even in as little as one treatment.
The HydraFacial™ treatment combines cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and antioxidant protection to the skin. It is a non-invasive, innovative, relatively new procedure that provides the skin-enhancing results that are similar to microdermabrasion, or laser exfoliation. If you’ve researched or experienced one of these treatments or a laser procedure or chemical peel, you may have heard about this rejuvenating treatment. HydraFacial™ treatments can only be administered by trained and licensed aestheticians and doctors.
While microdermabrasion cleanses the skin by using crystals or diamond chips, the HydraFacial™ treatment actually blasts the skin with bursts of liquid. Unlike microdermabrasion or laser exfoliation, HydraFacial™ does not cause the skin damage that is often seen with those particular skincare treatments.
This specific machine infuses your skin with strong, beneficial ingredients to bring about outstanding results by using a gentle, liquid-based exfoliation process. A treatment typically takes approximately 30-45 minutes from beginning to finish. This will address a number of different skin care aspects with a combination of cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration.
Here’s How the HydraFacial™ Works:
- Extraction
This initial, deep cleaning step allows liquids to easily remove dead cells from the skin’s surface. It also removes oily secretions so skincare ingredients can penetrate the skin. Pores are loosened and infused with a mild mixture of salicylic, lactic, and glycolic acids, loosening pore plugs–which can otherwise cause inflammatory acne. - Cleaning and Serum Fusion
The unique HydraFacial™ tool effectively hydrates the skin with a combination of nutrient-rich solutions that penetrate the skin deeply through a circular process. The solutions penetrate the skin’s pores, dissolving any impurities and softening the skin at the same time. - Antioxidant Fusion
Hydrating skin solutions and strong antioxidants are used, providing for more resilient, firmer skin. The antioxidants help repair skin damage, and peptides offer a necessary building block for skin cell structures. Hyaluronic acid can quickly reduce the appearance of wrinkles. This step boosts the production of collagen and elastin, minimizing fine lines while hydrating the skin. - Exfoliation
This step is particularly vital to maintaining healthy, radiant skin. The HydraFacial™ treatment effectively and thoroughly exfoliates dry, dead layers of skin—comfortably and without redness or irritation. - LED Light Therapy
LED light therapy can be an effective complement to the treatment. The lights emitted through energy can increase production of elastic and collagen by increasing skin cell growth.
During the HydraFacial™ process, loosened pore plugs and dirt are removed with a combination of chemicals to suction dirt and other remaining particles. This cleans the skin thoroughly and reduces the likelihood of future acne breakouts.
Your skincare professional may also recommend the delivery of additional chemicals for a specially customized treatment for you and your skin’s individual needs. For example, the HydraFacial™ device can deliver certain products designed to reduce wrinkles and stimulate the growth of healthy cells.
A HydraFacial™ treatment can take as little as 30-45 minutes from beginning to end, and you’ll be able to resume normal activities immediately afterward. You can even apply make-up right after the treatment.
What Results Will I See as a Result of HydraFacial™ Treatment?
The treatment cleanses your skin, offering a glow and more even skin tone overall. Patients typically notice greatly improved skin hydration, minimized dark circles, and a dramatic reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Even after just one treatment, improved skin tone and refinement may be visible. The smoothing, hydrating results usually last at least five to seven days.
How Often Does the Treatment Need to be Repeated?
Often, one treatment per month is recommended to most effectively reduce skin issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, signs of irritation, brown spots, or oily or congested skin. A continued regimen of HydraFacial™ treatments may be recommended to maintain sustained healthy skin results.
A Hydrafacial™ can also be a great tool to help you look and feel your best as you prepare for a special occasion. You’ll see immediate results, with no downtime.
Is it Painful and Are There Side Effects from a HydraFacial™ Treatment?
Fortunately, since the HydraFacial™ does not vaporize skin cells, most patients do not experience any significant side effects or any downtime from the treatment. It is generally well-tolerated, even by sensitive skin. Still, even though this technology is relatively gentle, the impact of the liquids and the suctioning action can cause mild irritation in some cases.
There is typically no discomfort during the procedure. Patients are often pleased and impressed with the immediate effects seen, including bright, dewy, refreshed skin. It is hydrating and non-irritating. HydraFacial™ isn’t merely a short-term solution to improved skin appearance; it effectively improves the skin’s overall quality. It’s a healthy long-term part of a well-rounded skin care routine and treatment plan.
Am I a Good Candidate for a HydraFacial™ Treatment?
HydraFacial™ is appropriate and suitable for most skin types. It is effective on skin that is aging, of different ethnicities, dry, or oily. It can also slow down your skin’s aging process, in turn potentially delaying the need for more invasive procedures.
A HydraFacial™ will effectively cleanse skin and provide an infusion of serum, but some skin problems will require a more aggressive treatment plan. Remember, the HydraFacial™ treatment can only be administered by trained and licensed aestheticians and doctors.
