Having a glowing complexion is on the top of the wish list of most women. But in order to achieve that radiant & healthy skin so many women use a lot of chemical-based products, which can be unsafe for long term use. Facials have been a popular skincare treatment for long, now HydraFacial treatments are taking them a step forward with some amazing results! Read on to find out more about this wonderful skin-nurturing.

What is HydraFacial treatment?

• HydraFacial treatment is a non-invasive and non-laser treatment that involves skin resurfacing and rejuvenating that gives smoother, softer, and younger-looking skin in a short time!

Is HydraFacial treatment beneficial for the skin?

• Yes… HydraFacial treatment is non-invasive and includes a proper 4 step process which includes cleansing, exfoliating, extracting and lastly hydrating the skin.

How does HydraFacial work?

• HydraFacial treatment is done using an instrument called HydraPeel which removes the dead cells from the skin and infuses it with serums and hydrating agents (anti-oxidant & anti-ageing).

• • The HydraFacial exfoliates the skin thoroughly getting rid of not just the dead cells but also other pollutants and unclogs congested pores by using vortex suction. This gives an instant glow to the skin.

• • HydraFacial works better than other methods because, in addition to exfoliation, it also imbues the skin with essential antioxidants, anti-ageing serums, peptides, and hydrating agents and thus provides vital nourishment to the skin. HydraFacial can get rid of wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation and improve skin firmness.

• • One of the most noticeable benefits of HydraFacial treatment is that it instantly evens out the skin tone post-treatment. Once the skin is rid of dirt, excess oil (sebum), it inevitably looks bright and radiant.

• • The vortex suction used during a HydraFacial treatment removes dirt, decongests skin pores, improves lymphatic drainage, and boosts circulation helping remove toxins from the face.

Is there a difference between HydraFacial and Microdermabrasion?

• Although, HydraFacial is also referred to as ‘hydradermabrasion’, and both the processes may have some similarities such as being skin resurfacing procedures performed by a small handheld device, there are a lot of differences too.

• •   HydraFacial is non-invasive while microdermabrasion is minimally invasive 
• •   Microdermabrasion uses a device called DermaSweep which has an abrasive tip for removing dead cells and pollutants from the skin whereas HydraFacial uses HydraPeel which has a vacuum tip and is much more gentler than the DermaSweep.
• •   HydraFacial is suitable for all skin types whereas for Microdermabrasion you will need to consult a dermatologist if your skin type is suitable for the procedure.

How to find out if you are the right candidate for HydraFacial?

• You need the HydraFacial treatment if you have

  • Acne
  • Fine lines and wrinkles on your face
  • Dull and lifeless skin
  • Loose skin and wish a younger-looking, healthy skin

  Are there any side effects of HydraFacial?

  • The main reason HydraFacial is so popular is because it does not have any serious side effects and gives instant results. However, in some cases, there may be a bit of redness and tightness of skin for some time after the procedure (but that goes away after a while). Make sure to check that you are not allergic to any ingredients in the serums that will be used.
