9 Benefits of HydraFacial

A Hydrafacial is a treatment of the facial skin that you can do with the help of a patented device. The patented device does the fascial treatment in four phases. These phases are exfoliation, cleansing, extraction, and hydration of the facial skin. This treatment cleans the debris from the skin, removes accumulations from the pores, and removes the dry and dead layers of the skin. In addition, this treatment is done to get rid of scars, hyperpigmentation, and many other skin issues that we come across daily. The steps of the Hydrafacial treatment are described below.

How Does HydraFacial Work?

As described above, Hydrafacial treatment is carried out in four steps. A detailed description of these steps is in the following section.

Cleansing and Exfoliation

The process of the Hydrafacial treatment starts with cleansing and exfoliation. During this step, your anesthesiologist will gently clean and exfoliate your skin using Hydrafacial want, vortex cleansing, and peel tip. This process will remove the dead cells of the skin as well as some of the excessive sebum. This process is the same as running a fine electric brush on your skin.

Chemical Peel

In the next step, the tip on the Hydrafacial wand is changed to deliver the chemical peel effectively. The chemical peels of the traditional treatments are often irritating and painful and may cause the skin to turn radish. The chemical peel used Hydrafacial is effective snd gentle; it does not cause pain and irritation. It is usually a mixture of aspirin or salicylic acid and glycolic acid. This chemical peeling causes the deeply rooted debris to lose firm attachment.

Extraction

The third step of the Hydrafacial is the step of extraction of debris. The device uses strong but painless suction in this step. The purpose of using this vacuum suction is to remove blackheads and other accumulated impurities from the pores. All the extracted collect in a cup or a type of basin that we can discard later.

Hydrating Serum

In the last step of Hydrafacial treatment, we apply a hydrating serum. This hydrating serum is used in combination with many ingredients required for the skin’s renewal. These additional ingredients are anti-oxidants and some nutritional ingredients of the skin. The nutritional ingredients help regenerate new skin, and the hydrating serum hydrates the newly formed skin. In addition, anti-oxidants detoxify the skin.

Benefits of HydraFacial

Hydrafacial is very effective for the treatment of facial skin. It has many benefits over other treatment methods such as surgical procedures and traditional cosmetics. Let us enumerate some of the benefits of Hydrafacial.

1:Works on all types of skin

2:Immediate results

3:Non-invasive nature

4:Zero downtime

5:Treatment of acne

6:Clearance of pores

7:Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles

8:Treatment of Hyperpigmentation and scars

9:Detoxification and deep cleansing of the skin

The detail of these individual benefits is in the next section.

Works on all types of skin

Unlike many other skin treatments that work on a specific type of skin, Hydrafacial is beneficial for all skin types. It is beneficial for dry and oily skin; it is also beneficial for sensitive skin or skin with acne. However, the content used for the Hydrafacial of the dry skin would not be the same as that for the dry skin. The use of the products for Hydrafacial will vary according to the goals of the Hydrafacial you have set. In dry skin, the goal of the Hydrafacial is to reduce sebum production and reduce the oily look. The goal of the Hydrafacial in the case of dry skin will be opposite to that of oily skin. The focus on dry skin would be to improve the skin’s moisturization and give it a smooth look. The benefits of Hydrafacial on all types of skin have been observed on market grounds.

Immediate Results

Waiting for the treatment results is as depressing for you as waiting for the results of some competitive examination. The beneficial effects of the  Hydrafacial treatment are seen immediately after getting the Hydrafacial treatment. Right after the treatment, you can see the glow and smoothness of your skin. These immediate beneficial results last around one week in some people, and in some people, these results may last more than ten days. If you want to maintain the glow and smoothness of your skin, you need to get the Hydrafacial treatment at regular intervals. After a series of continuous sessions, your results may last as long as many months. The immediate results of the Hydrafacial make it a useful treatment procedure for marriage and other parties that you have to attend at short notice. Giving immediate results makes it much more popular than traditional cosmetic treatments that take a long time to show the results.

Non-invasive Nature

There are many surgical and invasive treatments that people use to improve their skin and remove wrinkles from the face. However, there can be certain unwanted outcomes associated with such surgical and invasive procedures of skin treatment. Unlike those treatments, the Hydrafacial is completely non-invasive and does not have such risk of unwanted outcomes. The non-invasive nature of the Hydrafacial is one of the reasons that people choose it over other procedures.

No Downtime

Downtime means the time after treatment in which you have to delay routine activities. In the case of many skin treatments, there may be a need to keep the skin covered. In some treatments, there is a need to avoid sun exposure after the treatment. You may also need not wash the face with soap for some time after some treatments. In the case of the Hydrafacial, there is no downtime required. You do not need to avoid anything. You can wash your face as per routine and do all the routine activities. You can keep your face uncovered and go outside as well. Traditional exfoliating of many treatments leaves you with skin irritation for a day or two. In Hydrafacial exfoliation, there is no skin irritation after the treatment. Taking preventive measures and living a limited life can be hard even for a few days; Hydrafacial does not require such precautions and limitation of routine activities. So, it is preferred over many other skin treatments.

Treatment of the Acne

As the Hydrafacial has exfoliation and pore-cleansing in its procedure, it can be beneficial to get rid of certain types of acne. Comedonal acne is a type of acne that ranges from mild to moderate. One of the examples of mild acne is blackheads. Hydrafacial treatment has been used and proven beneficial for the treatment of mild to moderate acne. This treatment has benefited many people. However, a regular series of treatment sessions is needed to get the expected results. If you have mild to moderate levels of acne, Hydrafacial can be your choice instead of the pharmaceutical drugs with many side effects.

It is not that much beneficial for several inflammatory acne. Severe acne presents in the form of papules, pustules, and cysts. However, if you use hydrating serum during the last step of the Hydrafacial procedure, it can also reduce some of the symptoms of severe inflammatory acne. Additionally, the resurfacing activity of the Hydrafacial can also help reduce the appearance of acne scars Hydrafacial causes an increase in the amount of collagen and fills the depressed parts of the scars.

Clearance of the Pores

The dirt from the environment, dead cells of the skin, and excessive sebum can accumulate in the pores. The accumulation of these elements can clog the pores. One of the components of the Hydrafacial treatment is an acid peel solution. This acid peel solution causes the dissolution of these accumulations and dislodges them from the ducts of the pores. The vacuum suction of the Hydrafacial then draws out all the dirt, dead cells, and accumulated sebum. The feedback has shown that this benefit of pore cleansing is visible after a single session of the Hydrafacial. However, routine care is needed to maintain this clearance of pores between consecutive sessions. If you have oily skin, you are more prone to accumulating this debris of dirt, dead cells of the skin, and sebum. So, it would help if you are more careful about the skin’s health, and frequent sessions of Hydrafacial may be required to maintain the grace of your skin.

Reduction in Fine Lines and Wrinkles of the Skin

One important step in Hydrafacial treatment is exfoliation. Exfoliation has a huge impact on the outcomes of the Hydrafacial. Exfoliation removes the unwanted dry skin. It also removes the aged and dead layers of the skin. It is also said that exfoliation has an impact on the production of collagen; it stimulates the production of collagen. The newly produced collagen by stimulation of exfoliation, combined with the many nutritional components of the Hydrafacial regimen, resurfaces with new, smooth, and healthier skin. The new healthier skin with fewer wrinkles and fine lines will make you look younger. Like any other beneficial result of the Hydrafacial, the anti-ageing effect of the Hydrafacial is seen immediately after the treatment session. The result lasts around one month initially. Therefore, you need to get regular treatment sessions for around one month to maintain the expected results for the initial six months. After six months, you can extend the gap between the sessions up to two months. If you want to get rid of the irregularities of your skin and want to have a younger look, regular sessions of Hydrafacial treatment can be all that you need.

Treatment of Hyperpigmentation and Scars

Hyperpigmentation of the skin occurs due to excessive production of a substance called melanin. Many factors can cause this overproduction of melanin in the skin, like a history of acne, increased exposure to sunlight, ageing, and hormonal imbalance. Hydrafacial can help remove the hyperpigmented spots from the skin. The exfoliation done in Hydrafacial treatment causes the removal of the dark and discoloured layers of the skin. Hydrafacial also stimulates the turnover of the skin tissue; the new skin has better consistency and even pigmentation. The reduction in the pigmentation is seen after the very first session of the Hydrafacial treatment. However, to get completely even pigmentation and expected results, you need the monthly sessions of this treatment for one year.

Detoxification and Deep Cleansing of the Skin

Hydrafacial causes the removal of toxins from the skin by improving lymphatic drainage. Lymphse is a fluid that is part of the immune system that contains white blood cells. It carries the toxins from tissue and helps the body get rid of those toxins. A special glass device is used in this treatment; this glass device exerts light pressure and rhythmic, gentle strokes on your skin. These gentle strokes enhance the lymph flow and increase drainage of the toxins from the skin. These toxins are ultimately excreted from the body.

We regularly use many cleaning products for our skin. But, unfortunately, these cleaning products can not remove one hundred per cent of the debris from our skin. This fact has been proven by observing the debris removed during Hydrafacial despite the regular use of traditional cleaning products. Hydrafacial does this job of cleaning the skin with the help of vacuum pressure.

Contra-indications of HydraFacial

Despite all these benefits of Hydrafacial, you need to be careful about its use. Certain conditions contra-indicate the Hydrafacial treatment. These conditions include:

1: Pregnancy

2: Lactation

3: Hypersensitivity to some substances

4: Hypertension

5: Chronic rosacea

Hydrafacial is a non-invasive treatment of facial skin that is done with a patented device. It is also used for skin treatment of the whole body.  It is done in four steps. These steps are cleansing and exfoliation, peeling with chemicals, extracting the debris, and applying hydrating serum and other ingredients. Hydrafacial has many benefits over traditional skin treatments. These benefits include its effectiveness for all types of skin, immediate results, no downtime, and non-invasive nature. It can help in clearing the clogged pores, and remove the hyperpigmentation and scars. It is also used for the treatment of acne and the removal of toxins from the skin. It is contraindicated in some conditions such as pregnancy and hypertension.
