What Is a HydraFacial?

By the use of a specialized device your dermatologist removes debris, dirt, and dead skin cells from your skin, which also exfoliates your face. After that the hydrating solution or serum containing hydrating ingredients is applied on your face using that wand to put the hydration back into your skin.

HydraFacial vs Regular Facial

Which skin conditions can hydrafacial treat? 

Is hydrafacial good for acne?

Although hydrafacial can help in tackling acne but it is not a treatment for severe acne. It may help with acne because it exfoliates your skin, gets rid of congested pores, and cleanses your skin of debris. This can lead to less acne developing in future but it does not treat the existing acne.For persistent or moderate acne, a dedicated acne treatment plan may be more appropriate. 

Is hydrafacial good for dry skin?

Yes, Hydrafacial is very effective for dry skin. As dry skin is due to the lack of the moisture and the surface build up that stops moisture from seeping into the deep layers. Hydrafacial removes the dead skin cells that make it easy for the moisturising products to reach deeper and improve dryness. While the last step is application of hydration serum which makes your dry skin moisturised. 

Is hydrafacial good for oily skin?

Yes , hydrafacial is good for the management of oily skin. It removes the dead skin cells, cleanses pores, and removes blackheads. So after hydrafacial your oily skin will feel clean and you will notice less oil production. 

Can Hydrafacial reduce Pores? 

No, hydrafacial does not reduce the pores. It can temporarily reduce the appearance of the pores as it cleanses the pores. The pores look clean and hence smaller. So, it can reduce the appearance of pores temporarily but it does not reduce the pore size. 

Can Hydrafacial reduce pigmentation? 

The removal of dead skin can brighten your skin. But you have to keep in mind that although the hydrafacial can improve pigmentation it is not a primary treatment for the pigmentation. For targeted pigmentation concerns, a specialised pigmentation treatment may deliver more reliable results. 

Can hydrafacial improve fine lines? 

Hydrafacial can improve the appearance of fine lines as it smoothens the skin due to exfoliation and hydration but it cannot treat the deep wrinkles or smooth out the fine lines and wrinkles permanently.

Hydrafacial Procedure:

The HydraFacial steps generally follow a multi-stage process. The exact products and techniques can vary according to the clinic and treatment protocol.

Step 1: Cleansing

The treatment starts by cleansing the skin. This step removes surface oil, makeup, dirt, and other impurities. Clean skin allows the following treatment steps to work more effectively.

Step 2: Exfoliation

The device gently exfoliates the skin. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells from the surface. This can make the skin feel smoother and can improve its overall appearance.

Step 3: Extraction

The extraction stage uses controlled suction to remove oil and debris from pores.

This step can help improve the appearance of congested pores and blackheads. The extraction process does not mean that every blackhead or clogged pore will disappear after one treatment.

Step 4: Hydration

The final core step delivers hydrating solutions to the skin which contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, antioxidants, and other skin strengthening ingredients.
