HydraFacial Treatment: What Is It and What to Expect



There is no universal, guaranteed recipe for beautiful skin. A healthy lifestyle and dedicated skin care routine can improve your complexion and prevent some aging signs but eventually a medical grade intervention will be needed to reverse the clock.


When DIY solutions fail, many people resort to Botox and Derma fillers _ the most popular skin rejuvenation treatments. They are safe and effective in minimizing signs of aging, but they involve the use of needles, which is an obstacle for some people. Is there a solution for people who desire an entirely non-invasive treatment?


This article explains what HydroFacial is and how it can help you achieve and maintain smooth, radiant skin without injections.


What Is HydraFacial?

HydraFacial is patented technology that resembles a facial. It provides a 3-in-1 skincare treatment for deeply cleansed, hydrated, and rejuvenated skin. Results are instant and there is no downtime.

The HydraFacial treatment is typically performed by HydraFacial-certified medical providers, who customize the treatment by using different serums to treat the patient’s specific skin issues.

How Does HydraFacial Work?

The HydraFacial treatment consists of three parts:

  1. Cleansing and peeling. In this step, the medical provider uses the HydraFacial patented vacuum technology pen-like device with salicylic and glycolic acids to gently exfoliate the skin’s top layers.

  2. Extraction and hydration. In this step, the medical provider uses the device to suction out sebum, debris, blackheads, and other impurities from the pores and simultaneously deliver moisturizing serums to the skin.

  3. Nourishment and protection. The medical provider generously infuses the skin with HydraFacial super serums that include antioxidants, peptides, and other anti-aging ingredients.

Your provider may recommend additional treatments for superior rejuvenation effects. For example, at AestetcsArt we use LED light therapy in combination with HydraFacial to stimulate the skin cells’ healing process.

HydraFacial Treatment Benefits

HydraFacial provides a range of benefits for all skin types:

  • Deep hydration

  • Brighter and plumper looking skin

  • Improved skin tone and texture

  • Reduced acne

  • Reduction of excess oil and pore congestion

  • Fewer fine lines and wrinkles

  • Less hyperpigmentation

  • Shrunken pores

  • Tightened skin

  • Improved skin elasticity

  • Instant results

  • No downtime

  • No pain

Is HydraFacial Treatment Safe for All Skin Types?

The manufacturers of HydraFacial guarantee the treatment is safe for all skin types.

If you have sensitive skin, you may experience short-lived redness after the treatment.

Your medical provider may recommend that you discontinue your regular skincare routine for a while to avoid skin irritation.


Does It Hurt?

The HydraFacial treatment isn’t painful. You may feel slight discomfort during the treatment because the vacuum-like device suctions impurities from deep within your skin.


How Many Treatments Do You Need?

The number of required treatments depends on your skin type and skin issue. Some medical providers recommend an initial set of four to six treatments spaced two weeks apart and occasional maintenance treatments.

The HydraFacial manufacturers suggest one treatment a month to reduce wrinkles, excess oils, brown spots, and maintain a rejuvenated look.


Who Should Avoid HydraFacial Treatment?

HydraFacial is safe for all skin types and most patients. If you have rashes, a sunburn, or rosacea, your medical provider will recommend waiting until your condition resolves to have the treatment.

HydraFacial is safe to do during pregnancy as long as your skincare provider knows how to omit a few ingredients used in the steps. At Vibrant Skin, we love to help patients maintain their glow throughout their pregnancy and HydraFacial is a great way to do just that.


Conclusion

Smooth, glowing skin reflects health and beauty and boosts confidence. If you are looking for a quick, non-invasive solution that delivers instant results, try HydraFacial. It is popular for its anti-aging, skin rejuvenation effects achieved without the use of needles.
