HydraFacial:
Non-Laser Skin Resurfacing
HydraFacial, a hyrdradermabrasion treatment, is a new generation of non-surgical and non-laser skin resurfacing procedure that is similar in idea to microdermabrasion. Both of them are minimally invasive techniques that exfoliate the outer layers of the skin to rejuvenate its appearance and stimulate the production of new skin cells to renew the surface layer.
However, microdermabrasion uses micro particles or crystals to help in the exfoliation process while hydradermabrasion uses pneumatically applied serums to help in the exfoliation. A modern product that performs hydradermabrasion is the HydraFacial machine, in which dead skin cells are removed and impurities are extracted while the newly revealed skin is simultaneously bathed in cleansing, hydrating and moisturizing serums.
One of the advantages of the HydraFacial treatment is it is suitable for most skin color and types. The fact that HydraFacial treatment is non-invasive and non-irritating is another advantage worth considering. The treatment could improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, blocked and enlarged pores, oily and acne-prone skin, and minimize brown spots and hyperpigmentation.
How the HydraFacial works
The HydraFacial device performs simultaneous cleansing, exfoliation, extraction and deep moisturizing during the treatment session. The device has a uniquely-shaped spiral tip that exfoliates the skin by removing dead skin cells and extracting impurities while cleaning, hydrating and moisturizing serums are simultaneously bathing the skin.
During the procedure, the HydraFacial device's special tip is maneuvered over the surface of the areas to be treated in stroking movements. The tip is extracting impurities and sebum while simultaneously delivering serums that cleanse, hydrate and moisturize the surface. Then, the tip sucks the dead skin cells and other impurities removed from the surface layers caused by the exfoliation process.
Most patients generally do not feel any discomfort or pain during the treatment session. If ever they feel anything during the session, they would describe it as something like "a cool paintbrush moving slowly over the face." Depending on the type of treatment, a typical session may last from 15 to 30 minutes. There is no downtime and you can resume with your usual daily activities after the treatment.
Many patients say that they see visible results such as rejuvenated skin and improve skin tone after one treatment session. The medical professional would usually recommend a series of five to six treatment sessions for improving the appearance of oily and acne-prone skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. After you have finished with the first treatment series, you can follow it up with maintenance sessions every two to four weeks.
