The HydraFacial Treatment Step By Step
If you're ready for a day at the spa, consider having a HydraFacial treatment while you're there. These can often be done along with some other treatments if you wish, or they can be taken alone. The facial can even be customized for your particular skin concern.
Part of the treatment involves the use of serums, and the esthetician can select the serum that will benefit your skin the most, whether you want to treat acne, lighten skin discoloration, or reduce wrinkles. Here's a step-by-step look at how a HydraFacial treatment is done.
Deep Clean Your Skin
The first step is to clean your skin thoroughly using the HydraFacial tool. This removes all traces of makeup and dead skin cells from the surface of your face through exfoliation. The device has suction, so all the debris is pulled away from your face.
Apply A Mild Chemical Peel
Next, the esthetician applies a mild chemical peel to your skin. This can help with acne and further removes imperfections from your skin. However, the acids used are mild so you won't have any downtime once the HydraFacial is complete.
Extract Debris From Pores
The HydraFacial tool is used again to extract blackheads and lift dead skin and debris lifted by the chemical peel. During this step, moisturizers are also infused into your skin to hydrate it and give your skin a healthy glow.
Apply Serums
Once your skin has been cleaned and exfoliated, it's ready for the customized serums. These are applied to your skin and readily absorbed after the facial. With regular HydraFacial treatments and the use of quality serums, you could see changes in your skin that include fewer wrinkles, more even skin tone, hydrated skin, reduced pore size, and improved skin texture.
Take A Complementary Treatment
An LED light therapy treatment is a good add-on to a HydraFacial, but you might want to ask your esthetician about other skin treatments you can take at the same time. An LED light treatment involves placing a device above your face that shines lights of different colors on your skin. Different colors have different effects. You might notice an improvement in acne or decrease in wrinkles with an LED treatment, and when an LED and HydraFacial treatment are done at the same time, the effects could be even more noticeable.
Once your facial is complete, you should notice glowing skin that's well-hydrated and soft. The results are immediate and could last as long as a week. You might want to take the facial weekly to maintain your glowing skin.
