What Makes a Hydrafacial Different?
You know how great your face feels and looks after a facial? Well, what if you could ramp up your results without any extra effort on your part — and without any downtime? That’s what a Hydrafacial® can do for you. A Hydrafacial combines the deeply nourishing benefits of a facial with skin-sloughing power similar to microdermabrasion. But instead of using tiny particles of abrasive grit that can leave your skin irritated, the Hydrafacial system uses water and important rejuvenating nutrients delivered via a unique and powerful technology.
The power of water — magnified
The science behind Hydrafacial starts with this truth: Water is important for skin health. Not only can gentle washing help get rid of dirt, impurities, and even dead skin cells, but it can also replenish skin’s natural moisture. With the Hydrafacial system, water’s benefits go a lot farther. Hydrafacial uses a special Vortex-Fusion delivery system to both deeply cleanse your skin and administer nutrients not just to the very top layer of your skin, but deep within your pores as well.
And it’s not just water that’s being delivered to your skin. Hydrafacial uses special combinations of ingredients to break up excess oil, unclog pores, and get rid of dead, dry, dull skin so healthy, fresh, smoother skin is revealed. In fact, one of the most important benefits of a Hydrafacial treatment is that it can be customized specifically for your needs — or more accurately, your skin’s needs. Once your skin is clear and clean, that same technology delivers nutrients and moisturizers, helping them penetrate more deeply and more consistently so they can be a lot more effective in replenishing skin’s nutrients and improving the way your skin looks — now and for months to come.
Hydrafacial’s three-step technique
Hydrafacial uses a three-stage process to ensure you get the most from your treatment.
- Step one is cleanse and peel. This is the stage where the Vortex technology helps to loosen dirt, oil, dead skin, and other impurities lodged deep inside your pores while also preparing your upper layer of dull skin to be gently sloughed away. Special solutions used in this stage are specifically formulated to gently but thoroughly dissolve oil and break up filmy debris.
- The second step is extract and hydrate. During this stage, gentle suction helps pull out and remove loosened oils and debris, followed by an intense hydration using special compounds developed to provide skin with deep moisture and replenishment.
- Fuse and protect is step three, and it’s focused on delivering an ample supply of nutrients and “extras,” like antioxidants designed to help prevent sun damage, peptides to fight off the signs of aging, and other solutions to seal and protect your skin.
Performed in this sequence, each step prepares your skin for the next stage of treatment, so you can count on smooth, soft, more youthful-looking skin.
