How Does HydraFacial Work?
The HydraFacial is similar to another treatment called microdermabrasion. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, microdermabrasion uses a “mildly abrasive instrument to gently sand your skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer.”
That is to say, it’s not exactly microdermabrasion, and some people say it’s far better (than microdermabrasion). The HydraFacial device uses an exfoliating tip paired with suction to remove dead skin cells from the surface of your face, serums are infused into the skin, after skin is exfoliated. That last step is the key reason proponents say it’s so effective.
There are three steps in a HydraFacial treatment, according to the company. There is no downtime — a common word for recovery time in dermatology — and the entire treatment can be done in around 30 minutes.
Here are the three steps involved in a HydraFacial:
- Cleanse and Peel
This is the resurfacing step, when skin is exfoliated. Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the outer layer of the skin. It has long been known to have beneficial skin effects, including leaving the skin looking brighter, unclogging pores, and — with long-term use — increasing collagen production. This is all done in the HydraFacial with the HydraFacial tip. Since the tip generates a fluid vortex over the skin that gently dislodges impurities and dead skin cells. - Extract and Hydrate
The tip gets gunk out of pores and delivers topical moisturizers at the same time. - Infuse and Protect
Your treatment will finish with “boosters,” or serums. These are geared toward your skin goal, which may include reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, dull skin, or enlarged pores. The treatment is entirely customizable through these “boost” serums, which is a major perk for patients.
