Hydrafacial is a non-invasive facial treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and protection in a single session. This multi-step approach uses a specialized device to deliver deep cleansing, remove dead skin cells, clear clogged pores, and infuse the skin with hydrating serums, resulting in a refreshed and rejuvenated complexion.
How Hydrafacial Works
Cleansing and Exfoliation
The Hydrafacial begins with a deep cleansing of the skin to remove surface impurities. This is followed by a gentle exfoliation to slough off dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion.
Extraction
Next, the treatment involves a vacuum-assisted extraction process that helps remove clogged pores and impurities. This step is designed to clear out debris and reduce the likelihood of breakouts.
Hydration and Infusion
The Hydrafacial includes an infusion of hydrating serums tailored to your skin’s needs. These serums often contain antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid to nourish and moisturize the skin.
Protection
The final step involves applying a protective layer to safeguard the skin and enhance the results of the treatment. This helps lock in moisture and shield the skin from environmental damage.
