What is HydraFacial?
The HydraFacial is the perfect balance of relaxation and results. A slightly more clinical treatment than a traditional facial but with no pain or downtime. It is the definition of glow and go. A 30-minute treatment that includes deep cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration of the skin. This makes it the perfect lunch hour facial. It’s also my favorite treatment to have done and has changed my skin dramatically as an acne-prone person. The HydraFacial treatment utilizes vortex fusion technology to simultaneously exfoliate and nourish the skin. This allows for more effective penetration of treatment serums and better results for you!
Who makes a good candidate for HydraFacial?
Almost anyone! This results driven yet gentle treatment is great for all skin types. It will help treat dry skin, dull skin, aging skin, acne prone skin and more. It is my go-to recommendation for all preevent treatments. The intensity of the treatment is fully customizable making it safe even for reactive skin types. However, it cannot be performed over open lesions or damaged skin.
What to expect during treatment
HydraFacial is a three-step process. First you cleanse, then extract, and finish with deep hydration.
Cleanse – we begin the HydraFacial by manually cleansing the skin and then completing a vortex fusion cleanse. This double cleanse ensures all debris and buildup is removed from the surface of the skin leaving a fresh canvas for the rest of the treatment.
Extract – the extraction process works in two steps. First, we apply a blend of chemical exfoliators to loosen the bonds between healthy skin cells and unwanted oil and dead skin. That is followed by gentle, suction-based extraction that is customizable to your treatment needs. Typically, it is focused on the center of the forehead, the nose, and the chin.
Hydrate – once the skin has been deeply cleansed and softened, we apply a powerful antioxidant rich blend to nourish and protect the skin. Completing this step last allows for this serum to stay on the skin after treatment and soak into deeper layers giving you a glow from within for days after treatment.
Post treatment
Go and glow! This treatment has Absolutely no downtime. There is no need to do anything else for the skin that day. Still, it is best to avoid makeup, working out, and laying in the sun. I also like to change my pillowcase after a deep cleanse like the HydraFacial so I can keep my skin fresh for longer.
When to have it done
This treatment can be performed at any time. It’s Safe all year round and can be completed over tanned skin. It’s an amazing pre-event facial. However, if you are interested in having it before an event, I recommend a trial treatment 1-2 months before the event and then complete the event facial about a week beforehand. The serums used during the HydraFacial treatment are active for up to 28 days so you will still have that amazing glow for your event. It’s also the perfect way to finish any treatment series. Adding a HydraFacial after the end of your advanced treatment series will boost the results and keep your skin healthy. However, once you start, you won’t want to stop. To maintain your HydraFacial glow receive follow up treatments every 4-8 weeks.
