Why We Love This Treatment
While being a fairly low-impact skin treatment, the HydraFacial™ is still a key treatment item that is perfect for every patient, regardless of skin type, conditions or concerns. The HydraFacial™ offers a deep cleansing, extraction and exfoliation of the skin that isn't achievable at home, and when performed regularly, keeps your skin clear and healthy. Often suggested as a complementary treatment, the HydraFacial™ also stands-alone as a great low-impact, zero downtime option that shows instant glowing skin after only a 30 minute treatment (with the option of the more advanced 50 minute HydraFacial™). We often call the HydraFacial™ a skin maintenance treatment, to be performed as often as monthly, as this keeps the epidermis (uppermost layer of the skin) clean, healthy and free from congestion.The HydraFacial™ works to treat:
- Wrinkles, fine lines, and dehydrated skin
- Uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage
- Enlarged pores, congested pores, acne or oily-prone skin
How is this Treatment Performed?
The HydraFacial™ works to combine 3 treatments in 1:
- The exfoliation and skin resurfacing process of microdermabrasion
- The renewed skin of a chemical peel
- Extractions and hydration similar to a deep-cleansing skin facial treatment
The HydraFacial™ treatment works to improve red, dry, irritated skin by using a combination of cleansing, exfoliation, extractions of blackheads and finishing with the HydraFacial's patented approach of infusing antioxidant and hydrating serums into the skin helps to diminishes the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and treat oily skin. The Features of the HydraFacial™ Treatment:
- Vortex™ Exfoliation - Exfoliating the skin is essential in maintaining its health. The HydroPeel innovative tip utilizes its abrasive, multiple edges in order to exfoliate the skin thoroughly many times over to achieve better skin resurfacing minus the irritation, discomfort, and redness.
- Vortex™ Extraction - Through the ''vortex" suction head the works by circulating liquid with suction. This process easily removes and eliminates blackheads, sebum, and whiteheads for painless and instantaneous extractions.
- Vortex™ Peel - The unique HydroPeel tip works to hydrate the skin effectively using a nutrient-rich, Glycolic that deeply penetrates the pores of the skin to dissolve away impurities while working to soften the skin.
- Antioxidant Vortex™ Fusion - The special spiral tip uses a patented approach for using customized serums filled with antioxidants to infuse into the skin. The serums help to plump and hydrate the skin which diminishes the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and oily skin.
