Hydrafacial Treatments Offer Benefits For All Skin Types

HydraFacial is an invigorating facial treatment that can be given in 30 to 60 minutes and can be tailored to meet the specific needs of all skin types. HydraFacial treatments are soothing, moisturizing, non-invasive and non-irritating.

What Is A HydraFacial Treament?

A HydraFacial treatment is a hydradermabrasion procedure that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection simultaneously, resulting in clearer, more beautiful skin with no discomfort or downtime.

A gentle tool is used to help exfoliate the skin and remove impurities, without using crystals or abrasive chemicals to do so. This treatment uses a suction like vacuum to exfoliate dead skin, unclog pores, and reveal more radiant new skin. Cleansing, hydrating and moisturizing serums are applied to the skin during this process.

Hydration is the foundation of healthy, radiant skin.

Am I A Candidate For A HydraFacial Treatment?

The HydraFacial treatment is designed for all skin types. Even the most sensitive skin easily tolerates the HydraFacial treatment. Our aesthetic providers may choose specific treatment serums and/or customize your treatment for your unique skin condition and needs.

What Are Benefits Of A HydraFacial?

The HydraFacial treatment removes dead skin cells and extracts impurities while simultaneously bathing the new skin with cleansing, hydrating and moisturizing serums. The treatment is soothing, refreshing, non-irritating and immediately effective.

HydraFacial serums are designed to target specific skin problems:

• Acne - Blackheads and whiteheads
• Wrinkles, fine lines, and dehydrated (very dry) skin
• Uneven skin tone, hyper-pigmentation, sun damage, and brown spots
• Enlarged pores, congested pores or oily-prone skin

What Are HydraFacial Treatment Options?

HydraFacial treatments can be customized to meet any of your skin care needs.

Rejuvenate Signature HydraFacial 

This treatment is approximately 50-minutes, it deeply cleanses, extracts and hydrates the skin utilizing super serums filled with antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid.

Rejuvenate Luxe HydraFacial 

This treatment is approximately 90-minutes and is the ultimate HydraFacial experience! We begin the detoxification process with lymphatic therapy. Then we continue with the HydraFacial to deeply cleanse, extract and hydrate the skin while addressing specific skin concerns. This treatment concludes with LED Blue or Red Light Therapy. This treatment also includes four different skincare booster options:

What Are the Steps of a HydraFacial?

Cleansing And Exfoliation 

By using a deplaning tool, the HydraFacial will sweep away all the dead skin cells and debris, such as makeup. It will also help to open your pores – the first step to increased skin hydration.

Acid Peel

Our acid peel is different than most in that it won’t sting or leave you feeling uncomfortable. The acid peel on your skin is gentle enough to go unnoticed; some may feel the faintest tingle, but it does not cause discomfort.

Extractions 

One of the most fascinating parts of the treatment is the extraction stage. This type of extraction uses a gentle suction with spiral design tips to loosen and remove debris as well as deliver hydration and using nourishing boosters to unclog your pores.

Unlike during traditional facials, we forego performing manual extractions for a less painful and irritating option. During this step of your HydraFacial, our provider will perform an elaborate vortex-extraction.

Serum Application 

Another tool used during your HydraFacial is called the vortex-fusion tool. This tool applies a collagen and antioxidant serum into the skin to promote hydration and elasticity.

Usually, serums can leave your face feeling like it’s burning; however, our serum is designed to promote wellness in and on your skin, leaving all chances of redness and irritation behind.

What are Side Effects of HydraFacial Treatments?

After a HydraFacial treatment, you may experience tingling and stinging in the treatment area. These sensations generally subside within a few hours.

Your skin may experience temporary irritation, tightness or redness after a HydraFacial. These are all normal reactions that typically resolve within 72 hours, depending on skin sensitivity.

The skin is more susceptible to sunburn and sun damage after your HydraFacial treatment. Avoid excessive sun exposure and use a minimum of SPF 40 sunscreen.

Is There Downtime After a HydraFacial?

You may put on makeup and return to your normal activities right after the treatment since there is no downtime.

How Long Do the Results of a HydraFacial Last?

You will likely see results immediately after your HydraFacial treatment, and your skin may feel smooth and hydrated for one to four weeks with appropriate home care to maintain treatment results. Many clients report seeing visible skin refinement and an even, more radiant skin tone after just one treatment. The smooth results and hydration may last 5 to 7 days or longer.

How Often Should I Have a HydraFacial?

Continued HydraFacial treatments are highly recommended to maintain skin health results. One treatment per month is recommended for improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, oily and congested skin.

How Do I Maintain Benefits of a HydraFacial?

Good skincare is supported by a healthy lifestyle. Maintain your skin health after your HydraFacial by following these recommendations:

• Drink plenty of water.
• Avoid tanning beds.
• Eat a balanced diet.
• Get plenty of sleep.
• Minimize alcohol consumption.
• Take a daily vitamin.
• Avoid smoking.
• Manage daily stress.
