HydraFacials were introduced in 1997 but have recently seen an uptick in popularity thanks to their customizable and non-invasive elements — designed to rejuvenate any skin type. Following are some frequently asked questions about this skincare regimen.

WHAT EXACTLY IS A HYDRAFACIAL?

A HydraFacial is a multi-step treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates the skin. This process includes using a patented device to deliver exfoliation similar to microdermabrasion paired with hydrating serums. This unique approach ensures the treatment can address various skin concerns without irritation, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Treatments work with a three-step process: cleanse and peel, extract and hydrate, and fuse and protect. Initially, it uses a gentle vortex suction to clean and exfoliate, removing dead skin cells and uncovering a new layer of skin. Then, it extracts impurities from the pores with painless suction while delivering moisturizing serums. Finally, the skin is saturated with antioxidants and peptides to maximize glow.

WHAT SKIN ISSUES CAN THE TREATMENT ADDRESS?

These facials are incredibly versatile and capable of addressing a wide range of skin concerns. These include fine lines and wrinkles, elasticity and firmness, tone and vibrancy, skin texture, brown spots, oily and congested skin, enlarged pores, and more. The treatment's serum customization means aestheticians can focus on specific skin needs, making it effective for nearly any skin condition.

IS HYDRAFACIAL SAFE?

It is safe for all skin types and tones, with minimal risk of side effects. The treatment is notably gentle, avoiding the irritation that can come with other facial treatments. Aestheticians are required to consult before any new treatment, especially for individuals with severe acne or rosacea or pregnant women, as certain ingredients used may not be recommended.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

Many users report noticeable improvements in skin texture, tone, and appearance. The treatment can reduce visible fine lines and wrinkles, improve elasticity, enhance firmness, even skin tone and texture, and lighten brown spots. Additionally, it can help with oily and congested skin, reduce enlarged pores, and promote skin health.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

HydraFacials are known for having minimal side effects, which may include slight redness or tightness immediately following the procedure, typically subsiding within a few hours. The treatment's gentle nature means it is unlikely to cause serious irritation or downtime, allowing most individuals to return to regular activities immediately.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE THIS TYPE OF FACIAL?

The frequency of treatments can vary based on individual skin needs and goals. Most providers recommend treatment once a month for optimal results.
