While many of us love that sun-kissed summer glow, summer can also leave behind damaged outer layers of skin, dulling your complexion. That makes fall the perfect time to treat yourself to a professional facial. If you’ve never had a facial before or want to avoid the discomfort of the extractions involved in a traditional facial, HydraFacial can be a great choice.
What is HydraFacial?
HydraFacial is an invigorating facial treatment that removes dead skin cells and extracts impurities, revealing fresh, more brilliant skin. As the dead cells are removed, the new skin is simultaneously treated with cleansing, hydrating and moisturizing serums. HydraFacial provides long-term skin health. The results are immediately noticeable, leaving your skin clean and refreshed.
HydraFacial vs a Traditional Facial
When comparing the two facial treatments, both will provide you with similar results. The biggest difference between them is the extraction process. This is when your esthetician goes a bit deeper to clean out clogged pores. With a traditional facial, the extractions can create a few uncomfortable moments and there can be some residual redness and irritation.
With HydraFacial, there are no extractions in the traditional sense. The Hydrafacial machine is equipped with a handheld device that applies medical-grade glycolic and salicylic acid to loosen dead cells and debris, while a vacuum suction is simultaneously used to extract the blockages from deep inside your skin. You can go out right after a HydraFacial treatment with your skin looking fresh and invigorated. There is no discomfort and little or no skin irritation. Some patients report experiencing minor redness for an hour or two after treatment which quickly dissipates.
What to Expect
HydraFacial is a powerful, non-invasive facial resurfacing treatment. It’s a 3 step exfoliation process that helps to clean, exfoliate, and hydrate your skin. The procedure takes 20 to 30 minutes and feels similar to a light facial massage. Vital nutrients are infused into the skin during the procedure, leaving your skin radiant and glowing immediately after the procedure. Many clients have reported experiencing visible skin refinement and an even, radiant skin tone after just one treatment. The smooth, hydrated results typically last for 5 to 7 days. Having a HydraFacial treatment a day or two before a wedding or other special event can help you look your very best.
Overall Skin Health
You’ll love the way your skin looks and feels after you experience HydraFacial for the first time. Continued treatments can provide additional benefits such as improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, oily and congested skin, helping to maintain healthy, beautiful skin. Keeping your skin clean and hydrated can also help slow down the effects of aging.
Am I a Candidate for Hydrafacial?
One of the best benefits is that HydraFacial is appropriate for almost all skin types. It is one of the few facial treatments that can be used on sensitive skin. The treatment can be customized for different skin types and to address various skin concerns.
