What Is the Hydrafacial Process Like?
If you’re tempted to treat yourself to a Hydrafacial®, a popular, noninvasive facial treatment designed to cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate your skin, look no further.
Our providers at Warrenton Dermatology & Skin Therapy Center are pleased to offer Hydrafacials in Warrenton, Virginia.
Below, our team explains what the Hydrafacial process entails and why you might consider it.
Getting ready for your Hydrafacial
Before your Hydrafacial begins, we discuss your skin concerns and goals. Hydrafacials can help with several skin concerns, including:
- Acne
- Dark spots
- Fine lines
- Redness
- Large pores
We assess your skin type to determine the treatment settings and serums that best meet your needs.
We can also help you select corrective booster serums for your Hydrafacial. Boosters are add-ons that help you customize your facial to meet your aesthetic goals.
What to expect during your Hydrafacial
Once you’ve discussed your skin goals and selected your boosters, you lie back comfortably as we start the procedure. Hydrafacials consist of three main steps:
Cleanse
All Hydrafacials start with a thorough cleansing to remove surface impurities from your skin. A gentle exfoliation follows, which sloughs off dead skin cells and prepares your skin for deeper treatment.
With dead skin cells removed, the serums and boosters can better penetrate your skin.
Extract
Once your skin is cleansed and exfoliated, it’s time for extraction. Using a specialized vortex suction, the Hydrafacial device extracts dirt, oil, and debris from your pores — all the yucky stuff that makes your pores appear dark and big.
In other words, this step helps clear congested pores and minimize blackheads.
Hydrate
The next step involves infusing your skin with a customized blend of hydrating serums. These serums typically contain antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and peptides, which help to nourish and rejuvenate your skin.
Finally, we treat your skin with a soothing mask or moisturizer to lock in the treatment's benefits and provide added protection.
What to expect after your facial
The whole process can take as little as 30 minutes, depending on whether you have add-ons or other services at the same time. The Hydrafacial process is pain-free and requires no downtime.
You’ll notice skin that’s immediately softer and more vibrant. For more stubborn concerns, you may benefit from monthly Hydrafacials.
Your patience can pay off, though. According to a clinical study, 100% of participants saw an improvement in their acne after a series of Hydrafacials paired with clarifying boosters and LED therapy.
If you’re on the hunt for “the best skin of your life” — that’s Hydrafacial's tagline — don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
