HydraFacial: Exploring the Benefits

A popular non-invasive facial treatment that combines several skin rejuvenation techniques to cleanse, exfoliate, extract impurities, hydrate, and protect the skin. It’s often described as a “medical-grade facial” and is suitable for all skin types. It addresses skin care concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, elasticity, firmness, tone, texture, enlarged pores, congested skin, and hyperpigmentation.

HydraFacial treatment

Treatments last 30–60 minutes, depending on the number of booster processes added to the primary treatment.

  • Cleansing and Exfoliation: The treatment begins with gently cleansing the skin’s surface, followed by exfoliation to remove dead skin cells.
  • Acid Peel: A mild chemical peel solution containing glycolic and salicylic acids is applied to loosen debris from pores further and enhance skin resurfacing without irritation.
  • Extraction: A painless suction device removes impurities and blackheads from pores, effectively cleaning them out without causing discomfort.
  • Hydration: The HydraFacial machine delivers a blend of hydrating serums rich in antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid to nourish and moisturize the skin, promoting a healthy glow.
  • Protection: The treatment concludes with applying specialized skincare products, such as moisturizers and sunscreens, tailored to the individual’s skin type and concerns to provide protection and maintain results.
