The HydraFacial® does not use needles or require any kind of injections. It feels like a deep facial massage! How does it work? The HydraFacial® is a 4-step process that includes: Cleansing, Exfoliation, Extraction, and Hydration.
A HydraFacial includes 4 facial treatments rolled into one session: cleansing and exfoliating, a gentle chemical peel, vacuum suction extraction, and a hydrating serum. These steps are delivered using a patented HydraFacial device (which looks like a large rolling cart with hoses and a wand with detachable heads).
Microneedling is amongst the best minimally invasive treatments to also rejuvenate skin. Hydrafacial is superb for quickly and deeply cleansing and refreshing your skin.
It's not exactly painful, but most patients do report that it's uncomfortable. Many of the same benefits provided by microneedling can be achieved with a HydraFacial, with the exception of eviscerating scars. And, as you know, this treatment poses no risk for pain.
But this treatment makes extractions a breeze. Rather than poke and prod at your skin to force dirt and debris out, the technician uses the wand to release a solution while sucking the blackheads and other gunk from your pores into the machine to be disposed of.
Although it may sound painful, it is not. The technology behind HydraFacial MD allows for the painless removal of blackheads, dirt, and other impurities without leaving your skin red and inflamed. Your skin will be left clean and clear.
Yes, there is no doubt that the benefits of Hydrafacial Treatment are well worth the cost. On average, HydraFacial costs between $150 and $300. While this seems a little on the high side, it is a small price to pay for such an investment in your skin.
The easy answer is that you can have HydraFacial CT treatments about once a month, or once every 4 weeks. This is the general frequency that is most compatible for most people and that can generate the best skin-boosting benefits.
The quick answer to this is once every four weeks. With just one therapy, we provide the effects of microdermabrasion, a chemical peel, and a hydrating mask. Skin needs time to heal after.
What makes a HydraFacial better than a regular facial? A lack of manual extraction makes this process gentler on the skin than most regular facials, with instant and long-lasting results that you can see and feel. You'll notice improved hydration, minimized dark spots, and even a decrease in fine lines.
Nano-needling is a non-invasive transdermal serum delivery system. A stylus is used to tap nano-cartridges to the skin—thousands of microscopic pyramid-like tips that penetrate the skin's epidermis. These cartridges are thinner than human hair, and, when they touch the skin, form as much as 200,000 nano-channels.
The Integrity Hydra Needle is a revolutionary single-use microneedling/microchanneling device used to inject a variety of serums into the skin. The sterile vial holds a signature “cocktail” prepared especially for each patient based on that individual's skin concerns.
It is a classic, exfoliation-only procedure that treats as deep as a chemical peel without the same potential for sensitivities and irritation. HydraFacial is a more advanced, more gentle and more effective next generation of microdermabrasion.
Unlike other cosmetic treatments, the HydraFacial isn't supposed to cause pain or redness. However, you should avoid this procedure if you have an active rash, such as one related to a rosacea flare.
While this may vary from person to person, you can expect the results of your HydraFacial to last for at least 7 days. In many cases, those results will last much longer. If you do notice that the results of your facial have started to fade, you can always have an additional treatment to maintain those results.
How often should you get a hydrafacial? We strongly recommend that you come in for a HydraFacial solutions every two weeks. During your initial consultation, we will assess your skin type and skin quality as well as review your personal aesthetic goals.
For the best and most lasting results, we recommend patients get a series of 4 to 6 HydraFacials and space them 2 to 4 weeks apart.
After a HydraFacial, which typically takes just 30 minutes or less, some redness may occur. This is often the only side effect of a HydraFacial and is typically mild and resolves quickly on its own. If desired, patients can apply makeup after HydraFacial treatment to conceal any redness.
Hydrafacials are a much more thorough and extensive skin care treatment than chemical peels, with the added benefit of the hydration serum on your skin. Both products exfoliate and give your skin a gentle peel.
A hydrafacial is one of the most powerful, non-invasive skin resurfacing treatments available today. It combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection that removes dead skin cells and impurities, while simultaneously delivering moisturizing serums into the skin.
Yes we recommend that you discontinue retinol and related products 3 days before your Hydrafacial. You should also avoid any glycolic or other home-based peel for the same amount of time. If you are using these products please speak with our staff for specific guidance several days before your Hydrafacial.
Do not wax or use depilatories for at least 48 hours after the treatment. Don't use any medium or deep chemical peels or laser treatments for at least two weeks after your facial treatment. Don't use any exfoliating treatments, like glycolic acid or enzymes, for at least 48 hours after the treatment.
A HydraFacial is highly effective at treating rosacea because it directly targets some of the worst symptoms of this skin condition, like facial redness, bumps, and enlarged pores.
#1: Hydrafacial Can Shrink Your Pores
Eventually, your pores have to stretch to accommodate the gunk, leaving your skin dotted with oversized, oily pores. But, shrinking those stretched pores is easy! Once the treatment removes the blackheads and dirt from your pores, they can regress to their natural size.
