The HydraFacial is a multi-step facial treatment that utilizes patented vortex technology to cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and hydrate the skin. Here’s a breakdown of how it’s typically done:
Cleansing and Exfoliation:
The treatment begins with a gentle cleansing to remove surface-level dirt and oil.
Then, a specialized tip on the HydraFacial device is used to exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and opening up the pores.
Acid Peel:
A gentle acid peel, typically a combination of glycolic and salicylic acids, is applied to help loosen debris deep within the pores. This step prepares the pores for extraction.
Extraction:
Using a vacuum-like suction, the HydraFacial device extracts blackheads, whiteheads, and other impurities from the pores. This process is designed to be painless.
Hydration:
Finally, the skin is infused with hydrating serums containing antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. These serums nourish and protect the skin, leaving it hydrated and glowing.
