Benefits Of A HydraFacial For Glowing Healthy Skin

Is your skin feeling tired or clogged? For over twenty years, HydraFacial MD has been helping people cleanse and hydrate their skin. Whether you’re a skincare expert or you’ve never used a face mask before, you’ve probably heard of HydraFacial. This gentle procedure suits almost all skin types, making it an excellent entry point into revitalizing your skin.

Let’s explore how HydaFacials work, who they’re designed for, and how your appointment will look.

What Is A HydraFacial?

HydraFacial MD is a gentle and effective treatment that leaves your skin clean and glowing. It’s a multi-step facial procedure that cleanses, extracts impurities, and hydrates skin. There are no lasers or anesthetic required, making this a great first treatment for someone who hasn’t had a skin treatment before or who doesn’t know where to start. You can achieve noticeable results in just a few days, and a skin boost that will last you much longer than that.

The HydraFacial is a three-step procedure that focuses on skin resurfacing, addressing concerns like fine lines, clogged pores, skin texture, and so much more. Because hydradermabrasion targets so many different skin concerns, this procedure is suitable for a wide range of skin types. You’ll also find that it may help with more than just your primary concern, leaving you with radiant skin that feels as good as it looks.

1. Cleanse and Peel: Any good skin treatment starts with a thorough cleanse. We want to remove dead skin cells to hydrate the ones underneath. The HydraFacial Tip and Vortex Technology work together to gently cleanse your face. After this, we use a chemical peel made from glycolic and salicylic acids. This helps unclog pores and loosen oil and dirt, preventing future breakouts. This light resurfacing step focuses on cleansing and improving your skin texture.
2. Extract and Hydrate: Once your skin is cleansed, the dirt and oil needs to be removed. Using the spiral HydraPeel Tips and the HydraFacial vacuum, dirt is gently removed while your skin is moisturized. This is a deep clean that unclogs pores, removing blackheads, dead skin, and oils. It’s gentle, painless, and will leave your skin feeler cleaner than it ever has before.
3. Fuse and Protect: You can’t just stop at cleansing and hydration. At the end of your HydraFacial, we use serums containing antioxidants and peptides. These serums help protect your skin barrier and promote long term hydration and skin care. At this step, we also offer LED light therapy to close out your treatment.

Here at Restorative Medspa, we have two HydraFacial plans on offer. In your private consultation before your treatment, we’ll go over which one is right for you and how the procedure will work for your skin and your skincare goals.

The Benefits Of A HydraFacial

HydraFacials are effective because of their combined cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating techniques. This all in one treatment is more effective than at home cleansing routines, but good skin care in the long run is always backed up by good home skincare habits. So how does a HydraFacial help you maintain your skin’s healthy glow? HydraFacials are gentle on skin, have no downtime, provide fast results, and promote long lasting care.

Gentle On Skin

HydraFacials are most known for being gentle skincare treatments. There’s no needles or lasers involved, so the procedure is painless. Because of this, HydraFacials are suited for almost all skin types– we can all benefit from cleansing and hydration. The chemical peel uses mild ingredients found in many daily-use acne care products, but by working in tandem with the patented suction technology, they can start working on a clean and hydrated layer of skin.

No Downtime

Because there are no needles and no lasers, HydraFacials have almost no downtime at all. While we recommend staying out of the sun for a day or two and not wearing makeup for the rest of the day if possible, you won’t need to manage excessive redness, flaking, or peeling associated with laser skincare treatments. After a thorough exfoliation, you should be wearing high-rated SPF and reapplying to ensure this new layer of skin is well protected against the sun.

Fast Results

No downtime means fast results. The results of gentle skin resurfacing and cleansing are visible instantly– coupled with the characteristic HydraFacial “glow” from the serums, moisturizers, and skin boosters. Some people may experience mild redness, but this fades within a few hours of the treatment. You don’t have to wait for old skin to peel or needle marks to fade. Additionally, you can see results from the very first treatment, where others require multiple treatments to see a difference in your skin. HydraFacials are a popular treatment choice before events like weddings or vacations– no downtime, instant glow, and clean, hydrated skin after one appointment.

Long Lasting Care

Your skin needs more than just once off care. The final step in the HydraFacial process, focusing on fusing and protecting, introduces essential vitamins and serums that your skin barrier needs to stay healthy and hydrated. During your consultation, we’ll also talk with you about your daily skin routine and how you can extend the glow you get from your HydraFacial treatment. A HydraFacial should act as a booster to your at home skin routine, offering a deeper cleanse and exfoliation than you can achieve at home. Continued HydraFacial treatments are recommended every 4 to 6 weeks, helping your skin receive consistent hydration and thorough cleansing.
