To Celebrate We Are Offering a Free Mini Hydrafacial and Aesthetic Consultation
By Lindsay Bullman, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC
Summer is over. It’s back to the daily grind for most of us. That alarm clock is going to sound each morning and we’ll all have to stumble to the bathroom and get the day started. As we look in the mirror, some of us will note that our “sun kissed” faces are a little uneven in color and we might even see a few brown spots here and there.
We love the summer, but its effects on the skin can be damaging. So, what do we do if we were a little too careless with the sunscreen this summer? Can we reverse the damage that’s been done this year and all of those previous summers we loved so much at the beach and pool? The answer is a resounding YES! Thanks to breakthrough technology we have access to a non-invasive treatment called the HydraFacial.
What is HydraFacial and how does it work?
A HydraFacial 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 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 HydraFacial treatment help to 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 – 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. It is painless.
Step 2 – 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 – extraction
The device will work as a vacuum to suction out blackheads and other impurities from the pores.
Step 4 – 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.
What are the benefits of a HydraFacial?
Reduces redness
One important benefit is that a HydraFacial can help to improve and even out skin tone. It soothes patches of redness and gives the skin 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.
Reduces the appearance of enlarged pores
The acid peel solution that is applied as part of a HydraFacial treatment serves to clean out and dissolve the excess dirt, oil, and dead cells that are trapped inside pores. The vacuum suction attachment then draws out these impurities, deep cleaning and unclogging pores. These clear pores will reduce in size, making them less noticeable.
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.
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 collage production. The combination of this newly produced collagen and the nourishment provided the hydrating serum used will result in firmer, smoother, and younger looking skin.
Hydrafacial treatments are gentle and nonabrasive, unlike the majority of other resurfacing treatments. The Hydrafacial is a treatment that is suitable for all skin tones and requires no downtime. In fact, your complexion will likely look better walking out the door. Many patients report seeing visible skin refinement and even, radiant skin tone after just one treatment.
