HydraFacial

This treatment is effective for a variety of skin conditions, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, oily or congested pores, dryness, fine lines, and wrinkles. It improves the overall tone, texture, and brightness of the skin while also loosening and unclogging pores. The result is a brighter, more youthful-looking appearance. Long-term use of this treatment can even help to stimulate collagen production.

By exfoliating the top layer of the skin, a HydraFacial allows skincare products to penetrate better. The stratum corneum – the outermost layer of the epidermis- is one of the main barriers to the penetration of topical products. By clearing away dead skin, a pathway is created in the outer layer of the skin to allow skin products to penetrate deeper and work more effectively. Makeup can also be applied more easily on the smoother surface that is created.

One of the advantages of a HydraFacial is that it is completely customizable. The HydraFacial system has a variety of different serums, so we have the option of choosing the ones that are best for treating your specific skin concerns. For example, if your skin has been more dehydrated than usual or slightly congested, we can choose certain acids that are effective for treating these skin issues. During your consultation, we will recommend the most suitable solutions for your skin.

HydraFacials are versatile treatments that have universal appeal; patients of all ages, skin types, and skin tones can benefit from this type of skin resurfacing procedure at any time of the year. It is even safe for very sensitive complexions. This well-tolerated skin treatment can be particularly beneficial for patients who experience frequent acne breakouts. The deep exfoliation removes the excess oil and dead skin that clog the pores and contribute to acne. However, if you have an active rash, sunburn, rosacea, open wounds, or excoriated areas, you should avoid HydraFacials. Before your treatment, let us know if you have extremely sensitive skin or allergies to any ingredients that might cause your skin to break out. You may need to make some changes to your normal skincare routine, such as stopping prescription creams a few days before this treatment to avoid irritation.

A HydraFacial can be an ideal treatment if you’re preparing for a big event, simply want to give your skin a pick-me-up, or wish to reset your skin after a seasonal change. You can also get this treatment regularly to maintain skin health.

There are three key stages in this treatment: cleansing, extraction, and hydration. Your skin will also be infused with rejuvenating serums as part of the process, after it has been exfoliated. The entire facial can be completed in around twenty to thirty minutes. We start with gentle exfoliation and resurfacing to reveal a healthy, new layer of skin. Then, debris is removed from deep in the pores with painless suction. Rather than an esthetician performing manual extractions, a HydraFacial uses automated vortex suction that acts like a mini vacuum on the skin and cleans out pores. This allows it to cleanse the skin more deeply than traditional extraction. Your pores are opened up, and debris is swept away. There is a cup at the base of the machine that shows exactly what has been extracted from your pores.

It also quenches and nourishes the skin with intense moisturizers that contain antioxidants. Finally, this treatment hydrates the skin while infusing it with targeted, proprietary skin solutions. We finish the treatment with “boosters” or serums that are geared towards specific skin goals, such as reducing hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, dullness, or other conditions. This is one of the major benefits for many patients.

HydraFacials won’t usually cause any discomfort. This skin treatment is soothing, refreshing, and non-irritating – it can feel similar to a light massage. Some patients describe feeling light pressure from the machine during the HydraFacial treatment.

HydraFacials are highly customizable, powerful skin rejuvenation treatments that can provide transformative results. Each patient has their own unique skin type and concerns, so an experienced esthetician will help put together a customized plan for you. At Cosmetic Surgery Institute, our staff work closely with each patient to get an understanding of their aesthetic goals, desired downtime, comfort levels, and other factors.

There is little to no downtime for a HydraFacial, and most patients do not experience redness, visible signs of irritation, or any other side effects. Patients can resume their normal activities right away.

The results from this facial can be seen right away after just one treatment session. You may notice that your skin is glowing, radiant, soft, and deeply hydrated, with a reduced pore size, less hyperpigmentation, and fewer blackheads and acne breakouts. A HydraFacial provides a more even skin texture. The results may last for up to one month. The frequency at which you should get this treatment depends on your skin conditions and goals. We may recommend repeating them every two to four weeks.

Combining a HydraFacial with other, equally effective skin rejuvenation treatments can be included as add-ons. These can help to further enhance the results from the facial. In addition to HydraFacials, Cosmetic Surgery Institute also offers other non-surgical skin resurfacing and rejuvenation procedures including, chemical peels, dermaplaning, microneedling & collagen induction therapy, vitamin C brightening treatments, collagen lifting treatments, oxygen infusion, and skincare products for home application.
