HYDRO FACIAL

Hydro facial treatments are in-office medical treatments that focus on resurfacing the skin. They provide cleansing, exfoliation, chemical peel, extractions, and infusion of serums designed for individual skin types. A hydro facial offers such benefits as a brighter complexion, reduction of pores and fine lines, and clearer skin in general. They are safe for sensitive skin and have little to no risk of side effects.

How does a hydro facial work?
A hydro facial is a facial treatment using a patented device to deliver exfoliation, cleansing, extraction, and hydration to the face. During the treatment, water is used to clean and exfoliate the outer layer of the skin which removes dead cells and excess oil. Next, the application of a chemical solution further cleanses and loosens the debris that clogs pores. Any remaining impurities are then suctioned away, leaving the pores debris-free and prepared to absorb a customized hydrating serum.

The cleansing, exfoliation, chemical peel, and facial muscle relaxation provided by a hydro facial treatment helps combat many of the beauty issues individuals face on a daily basis, including large pores, wrinkles, and breakouts. It provides consistent results regardless of aesthetician (qualified professional) and can be used on all skin types.

What will happen during the procedure?
Step 1 is cleansing and exfoliation. A vortex cleansing and hydra peel tip will be used on the skin. This removes dead skin cells and sebum (oil) while gently opening pores. The sensation has been compared to having an electric toothbrush pressed lightly against your face.

Step 2 is the chemical peel. The aesthetician will change the tip of the wand and use a mix of non-irritating acids (salicylic and glycolic) for a peel that is both gentle and effective. This loosens the debris deep inside the pores of the face. This gentle mix will not have the same skin-irritating effect as other chemical peels that leave the face red for hours.

Step 3 is extraction. The device will work as a vacuum to suction out blackheads and other impurities from the pores.

Step 4 is hydration. The wand will now be used to apply a serum rich in antioxidants, peptides, and other hydrating nutrients. This will detoxify and hydrate the skin, leaving it feeling and looking rejuvenated like never before.

BENEFITS OF A HYDRO FACIAL
1. Reduces redness
One important benefit is that a hydro facial can help improve and even out skin tone. It soothes patches of redness and makes the skin have a more uniform tone. This is due to the mixture of acids that are used during the exfoliation process. Dull, lifeless skin is often caused by the buildup of dirt and dead or damaged skin cells. The exfoliating action of this treatment buffs away this layer of impurities, revealing the brighter, clearer skin beneath.

2. Reduces the appearance of enlarged pores
The acid peel solution that is applied as part of a hydro facial treatment serves to clean out and dissolve the excess dirt, oil, and dead cells trapped inside the pores. The vacuum suction attachment then draws out these impurities, deep cleaning and unclogging pores. These clear pores will reduce in size, therefore making them appear smaller and less noticeable.

3. Reduces acne
Having clean skin and clear pores will result in fewer breakouts. The combination of cleansing, exfoliating and extraction present in this procedure helps to reduce the appearance of acne and prevent future eruptions.

4. Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
The removal of layers of thin, dry, aging skin and the stimulation provided by the exfoliation process will result in collagen production. The combination of this newly produced collagen and the nourishment provided by the hydrating serum used will result in firmer, smoother, and younger looking skin.

5. Reduces hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation is a condition in which scattered areas of skin appear darker than the surrounding skin. These dark patches can be caused by several different factors, including acne, hormone imbalances, sun damage and aging. They may appear in varied shapes and size. They can be small, round spots or large, irregular patches. Hydro facial procedures reduce the appearance of these marks by exfoliating the dark or discolored layers of surface skin. They increase cellular reproduction and encourage growth of new skin that is more evenly colored.

How often should you get a hydro facial?
The frequency of treatments depends on your skin type and your provider’s recommendations. Some websites recommend repeating the treatment every 4 weeks, while others encourage repeat sessions every 2 weeks. An aesthetician or dermatologist can help you determine the right number of sessions based on your skin condition and goals.
