Hydrafacial – The Process and the Benefits
It's no surprise that HydraFacials have been one of the most common facial trends in recent years. More people are opting for the HydraFacial as their main practical, facial skincare spa routine since this is gentle without no downtime but with great results.
What Is a HydraFacial Treatment?
A HydraFacial is a treatment that exfoliates, cleanses, extracts, and hydrates the face using a proprietary system. This device delivers hydration and removes dead skin, debris, dirt, and impurities while cleaning and relaxing your skin with a vortex swirling motion.
Cleansing, exfoliating, a mild chemical peel, vacuum suction extraction along with a hydrating serum are all used in a HydraFacial procedure. A proprietary HydraFacial system is used to deliver these steps. Unlike traditional facial treatments, which can vary depending on the type of your skin, it delivers persistent results for all skin types.
A HydraFacial's shaving, exfoliation, collagen building, chemical peel, and facial muscle relaxation treatments help treat a variety of beauty problems, including big pores, breakouts, wrinkles, and skinthinning.
LED light therapy is often used in combination with HydraFacial treatments. Acne can be treated with blue light, whereas wrinkles can be reduced with red light.
During a HydraFacial Treatment, What Happens?
A HydraFacial takes about 30 minutes on average. Here are the steps:
1 – Exfoliation and washing
The first step is washing and exfoliation. The expert will use a wand for cleansing and scrubbing the skin using a peel tip.This gently opens your pores while removing sebum and dead skin cells. It's been compared to having a rotating electric toothbrush softly rubbed against your skin by others.
2 – Chemical Peel
Next, the aesthetician can adjust the wand tip to produce a soft chemical peel. Contrastingto other chemical peels that are painful and make the skin inflamed and red for long hours, it uses a non-irritating combination of glycolic and salicylic acids for a mild but successful peel. This step's aim is to release debris in deep dermal level.
3 – Extraction
The third stage in a HydraFacial is extraction. It uses solid, painless vortex vacuum suction for extracting impurities and blackheads from your skin pores. The impurities are collected in a cup and thrown away.
4 – Hydrating Serum
On the next step the expert will use the wand for antioxidative and hydrative serum application that is full of peptides and other nutrients. This assists in the detoxification, rejuvenation, and hydration of the skin.
Following the completion of your care, the aesthetician may recommend added procedures such like light therapy or fillers. Since HydraFacials are so gentle, you can get other treatments done at the same time.
Benefits of HydraFacial
The HydraFacial is said to enhance the texture, colour, and appearance of the skin. This is due to the deep exfoliation, which cleans your pores, removes dirt, and allows face serums tailored to your skin type to penetrate better.
Acne treatment with HydraFacial
There are currently no clinical trials showing the HydraFacial's acne-fighting powers.
Microdermabrasion procedures, on the other hand, have long been thought to be successful in the treatment of acne and acne scars. This is most likely due to deep exfoliation, which aids in the removal of pore-clogging skin cells.
Blackheads are handled with HydraFacial.
Blackheads are caused by dead skin cells. The methods used in the HydraFacial support this non-inflammatory form of acne, but further clinical trials are needed to confirm these benefits.
HydraFacial for rosacea
It may be difficult to find beauty treatments that are suitable for this type of skin. While more research is needed to prove HydraFacial's safety and effectiveness for rosacea, a 2006 study found that similar techniques may help papulopustular rosacea.
HydraFacial is a treatment for anti-aging concerns.
HydraFacial treatments reduced signs of skin ageing more than serums alone, according to a study conducted in 20 women. The results included reduced pore size, less hyperpigmentation, and decreased fine lines. For more on this treatment see us at Full Circle Health in Oklahoma City.
