The Power of Hydration: How HydraFacial works

WHAT IS A HYDRAFACIAL?

HydraFacial is a multi-step cosmetic skin treatment that readily brightens the skin and rids the skin of dead skin cells and impurities in the face. A HydraFacial uses unique, non-invasive skin surfacing technology which restores your skin to a youthful and healthy appearance.

At the same time, it hydrates and moisturizes the skin with cleansing serums made with nourishing ingredients that create an instantly gratifying facial glow. This treatment for the face is soothing, refreshing, non-irritating and immediately effective, making the HydraFacial skin treatment popular choice for those looking to dramatically improve the appearance of their skin instantly.

THE TREATMENT INCORPORATES 6 STAGES;

STEP 1 – CLEANSING AND EXFOLIATION 

Gently eliminate dead skin cells to unveil a rejuvenated, healthy complexion. Concurrently, a serum infused with lactic acid, glucosamine, and an array of botanical extracts penetrates deep into the skin, purifying and revitalizing it. 

STEP 2 – GLYSAL PEEL 

A gentle 30% Medical Peel from HydraFacial comprising glycolic and salicylic acids is applied to loosen debris within your pores, preparing the skin for the extraction phase while enhancing its overall radiance.

STEP 3 – EXTRACTIO 

Effortlessly remove blackheads and draw out impurities from congested areas using a serum rich in natural salicylic acid and honey extract. 

STEP 4 – HYDRATION 

HydraFacial’s innovative Vortex-Fusion technology administers a blend of hydrating hyaluronic acid and a potent concoction of cutting-edge antioxidants, peptides, and multi-peptides. This revitalizes the skin, leaving it deeply moisturized, plumped, and in optimal health.

STEP 5 – BOOSTER APPLICATION

This step uses personalised boosters to address skin concerns such as acne, pigmentation, anti-aging and deydration.  Your nurse practitioner will discuss the most suitable booster to acheive your goals. 

STEP 6 – REJUVENATION

Utilizing red and infrared LED light, we reduce redness, stimulate collagen production, and promote a radiant complexion. Additionally, this light supports the skin’s natural synthesis of vitamin D, enhancing its overall glow.

HOW DOES A HYDRAFACIAL WORK? 

The HydraFacial treatment starts by cleansing the skin and removing the dead skin cells and excess sebum from the skin. This is followed by a mix of salicylic and glycolic acid which is applied to the skin to break up the dirt and oil which may be clogging the skin and pores.

The HydraFacial tip is then used to blast fluid onto your face which pushes trapped dirt out of your pores which is then essentially vacuumed up along with blackheads, dirt, oil and impurities.

This is all done while simultaneously hydrating, plumping and nourishing serums are applied to your skin!

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HYDRAFACIAL? 

HydraFacial is known for its ability to address a variety of skincare concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, congested pores, uneven skin tone, and dryness. HydraFacial face treatment involves an element of dermabrasion which can reduce the visibility of brown spots. The active ingredient Alpha Arbutin works as an inhibitor to block melanin production and provides natural lightening of pigmentation. Vitamin C in its oil-soluble form is also utilised as it brightens the skin by functioning as an antioxidant that helps the production of collagen.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM A HYDRAFACIAL TREATMENT?

The treatment is soothing, refreshing, non-irritating and immediately effective. This is what makes a Hydrafacial skin treatment for those wishing to improve the appearance of their skin. It is suitable for most skin types and can be customized to meet individual skincare needs. The treatment is typically quick, relatively painless, and requires minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking a rejuvenated and refreshed complexion.

Most people see ‘The Glow’ after one treatment, but follow on treatments bring longer term benefits to the skin.  The results may vary from person to person however, and multiple sessions may be recommended for long-term improvement,it is important to discuss your concerns with a qualified practitioner to ensure you receive the right treatment for you.

WHAT ARE HYDRAFACIAL BOOSTERS? 

Hydrafacial Deluxe is formulated to maintain good skin health and includes a targeted range of booster to treat more specific concerns. The Dermabuilder Boost treats Anti-Ageing, Glysal Boost for acne, Britenol Boost for pigmentation, Hydralock Boost for Dehydration and the JLO Beauty Booster for an incredible glow.

Perk can be added to any Hydrafacial or as a stand alone treatment. It is designed for the more delicate skin around the eyes and lips, bringing about brighter eyes and plumper lips in only 15 minutes. A gentle, quick, pain-free exfoliation adding nutrients to the skin. Perk combines an at home product with a professional treatment, so you can continue hydrating the skin at home in between appointments. It is recommended to have a Perk treatment every 4 weeks along with a Hydrafacial. Similar to the Hydrafacial, Perk is pain free with little to no downtime. It leaves eyes de-puffed and lips plump with only slight redness that subsides the same day.

The new JLO Beauty Booster is nutrient rich, combining eastern and western ingredients to help tighten, brighten and hydrate your skin.

CAN HYDRAFACIAL TREAT BACK ACNE, OR BACNE? 

In the same way that a Hydrafacial booster can be used specifically to target acne, the hydrafacial treatment works in the same way on bacne, and a popular choice for men and women to treat this area with regular Hydrafacial treatments.
