Facials are an essential part of a well-rounded skin care routine. But not all facials are created equal. The HydraFacial® is one of the latest skin care innovations, a gentle and effective treatment that helps those with normal skin and those with imbalances or imperfections. Here’s what you should know.

How Does It Work?

A HydraFacial is more than a typical facial. It is a deep-cleansing, exfoliating treatment consisting of microdermabrasion, lymphatic drainage, and peeling to leave the skin clear and hydrated. A trained technician uses advanced technology and specialized tools to remove dry, dead skin cells with antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acids. After the technician removes impurities, they apply a hydrating serum which penetrates deep into the skin to leave skin soft and hydrated. The process typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. There’s no downtime or discomfort, and many people see results after just one treatment. For long-lasting improvement, however, ongoing treatment is recommended. 

Who Can Benefit?

It is an excellent option for people with sensitive skin. The gentle process tightens pores and replenishes fluids, leaving your skin rejuvenated and supple. Antioxidants in the serum also rebalance the skin, and blue light is used to kill bacteria, both of which help reduce acne. 

HydraFacials can also help reduce the appearance of sun damage, fine lines, and other imperfections by placing growth hormones into the skin, helping skin to become firm and glowing. Peptides are also included in the serum to promote collagen production and improve elasticity. This, along with the hydrating element, slows the aging process by strengthening the skin’s defenses against the damaging effects of aging and external elements.
