In this all-in-one guide to all things HydraFacial, we’ll provide an in-depth overview of the treatment as well as a step-by-step breakdown of the actual process so you can feel confident and excited about your decision to try it. When that time comes, our friendly and experienced team at Reno Sparks MedSpa is here to take your call and set you up with a game-changing treatment plan.
What Exactly Is HydraFacial?
If you know your word roots, the prefix “hydr-” refers to water, which is what HydraFacial uses to gently, yet effectively rejuvenate the skin using patented Vortex technology and a multi-phase treatment. From deep cleansing and exfoliation to nutrient infusion, HydraFacial provides a unique and comprehensive approach to standard facials. Despite the name, HydraFacial can actually be used on several areas of the body, including the following:
- Thighs and buttocks
- Neck and chest area (decolletage)
- Back
- Upper arms
As for skin concerns that HydraFacial treats, these include the following:
- Uneven skin tone
- Rough skin texture
- Acne
- Oversized pores
- Hyperpigmentation
- Fine lines
- Dull skin
The Complete HydraFacial Treatment Process
As mentioned, HydraFacial follows a multi-step treatment process to comprehensively rejuvenate the skin. While the treatment steps mirror most conventional facials, there are several key differences throughout each step that make HydraFacial unique. The three major steps include Cleansing, Extraction and Hydration, and Infusion.
Cleansing
Each HydraFacial session begins with a thorough, yet gentle cleansing of the targeted treatment area, which involves using the handpiece to exfoliate the skin. As HydraFacial removes debris and unwanted tissue from the superficial skin layers, your skin will be both cleansed and resurfaced. In addition, this step prepares the tissue to better receive nutrients and topicals involved in later steps.
Vacuum Extraction
For some clients, manual extraction during conventional facials is so painful, they consistently opt out of this step. But many turn to HydraFacial for its much more comfortable extraction methods. Using Vortex technology, the handpiece removes all manner of unsightly blemishes from the skin, including clogged follicles, dirt, oil, blackheads, and more. After extraction, the pores are primed to be moisturized, which locks in a fresh and radiant appearance. The Vortex action of the handpiece allows for greater infusion of moisturizer and other agents by opening pores.
Nutrient Infusion
Finally, one of several customizable serums is infused into the skin to deliver enriching nutrients like antioxidants, peptides, and more. These serve many important functions in both the long-term and the short-term picture, including safeguarding the skin against various stressors, enhancing skin hydration and elasticity, and much more.
What to Do After (And Between) Your HydraFacial Sessions
As discrete and effective as this nonsurgical facial rejuvenation treatment is, what you do after each session can still considerably influence overall results. One helpful practice to keep your skin looking fresher for longer is to consistently use moisturizers, but be careful of products that irritate your skin. Mitigating the effects of sun exposure by regularly wearing sun block (and limiting your direct exposure) can also enhance results.
As for the long-term, the same general well being and skin care prescription that we’ve all heard before applies to maintaining your HydraFacial results: following a balanced diet, getting plenty of sleep, protecting your skin from irritants, and avoiding alcohol use and smoking as much as possible. Combined with the above tips, these practices can help you stretch your results out longer, both between HydraFacial sessions and for the rest of your life.
Hydrafacial FAQ
How long does a HydraFacial last?
Both the duration and nature of your results can vary considerably based on various individual factors, including age, skin type, boosters used, and so on. In general, HydraFacial results last between 4 to 6 weeks.
Who is HydraFacial for?
As long as you have reasonable expectations of the treatment and no contraindications for HydraFacial (e.g., an active infection in the treatment area), you may be a candidate for this gentle and well-tolerated facial rejuvenation method. A wide range of skin types and aesthetics concerns can be improved with HydraFacial.
What are the risks associated with HydraFacial?
Side effects outside of mild irritation and skin sensitivity are very rare following HydraFacial treatment, nor is there any official downtime. However, some people may experience an increase in blemishes soon after treatment. This may seem like HydraFacial has the opposite effect as intended, but is actually a sign that the body is continuing to get rid of dirt and debris.
