What Is a HydraFacial?

The HydraFacial is one of the best skin rejuvenation treatments that people can take advantage of nowadays. This type of treatment is non-invasive, powerful and can get rid of your dead skin cells, then moisturize the skin by using special serums. The procedure is completed in three stages. The first stage uses a vortex-like wand against your skin to help clear away dirt and oil from deep in your pores. They also use a peel to help exfoliate and resurface your skin. The second stage sees a vacuum-like attachment on the wand to help extract debris from your pores while the third stage sees a pen-like attachment to apply a moisturizing serum with antioxidants.

What Are the Benefits of a HydraFacial?

The HydraFacial is said to help improve overall skin texture, tone, and appearance. This is due to the deep exfoliation that cleans your pores, removing debris and allowing for better penetration of face serums tailored to your skin type. HydraFacials can be used to treat hyperpigmentation, oily skin, enlarged pores, dryness, fine lines and wrinkles, and other signs of ageing. The HydraFacial is very gentle on the skin, even though exfoliation and extraction are both involved in the process. In the end, the skin will be radiant and smooth. The process is painless and short, some would even say relaxing, and there is no downtime required.
