A HydraFacial is a facial treatment using a patented device to deliver exfoliation, cleansing, extraction, and hydration to the face. This system uses a vortex swirling action to deliver hydration and to remove dead skin, dirt, debris, and impurities while cleaning and soothing your skin.
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.
A small 2008 study of 20 women found that those who received HydraFacial treatments had greater decreases in signs of skin aging compared with those who used serums alone. The effects included decreased pore size, less hyperpigmentation, and decreased fine lines.
HydraFacial takes less than one hour to complete and the effects are visible for about one week. You will immediately see results after your first session, but more than one session can be beneficial. For long term skin health, we recommend including treatment as part of your monthly skincare routine.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection simultaneously, resulting in clearer, more beautiful skin with no discomfort or downtime. HydraFacial™ targets fine lines and wrinkles, congested and enlarged pores, oily or acne-prone skin, hyperpigmentation, and brown spots.
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.
Best for: Microneedling is a good option over HydraFacial for those who have a deep, permanent acne scars and other facial scarring, and is recommended for all skin tones. It is not a good choice for those who are at a higher risk of infection or have a low tolerance for pain or needles.
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.
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.
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.
What Happens During the HydraFacial? The HydraFacial treatment starts with cleansing by removing the dead skin cells and excess sebum from the skin. Next, a mix of salicylic and glycolic acids are applied to the skin to break up any dirt and oil that's clogging pores.
You can expect to see an instant improvement in skin texture and tone, while the long-term effects are increased cell turnover, fewer wrinkles and dark spots, reduction of acne scarring, and the removal of fine facial hair.
