Hydrafacial is a beneficial skin resurfacing treatment for people of all skin types and complexions. This cosmetic facial uses a vortex of water to cleanse, exfoliate, and extract with a method more gentle and more effective than manual extractions. It removes dead skin cells and clears the way for fresh ones to move into place.
Hydrafacials have several benefits with few side effects and risks. What makes hydrafacial a valuable addition to your skincare routine is the combination of cleansing, exfoliating, hydration, and antioxidant protection in a single, soothing treatment.
Stadia Med Spa in San Antonio, TX, offers hydrafacials to refresh and rejuvenate your complexion. Keep reading for a more comprehensive look into Hydrafacial benefits and side effects.
Hydrafacial uses a patented Vortex –Fusing™ technology. Your Stadia Med Spa provider will glide the pen-like device across your face to extract, exfoliate, hydrate, and nourish the skin on your face and scalp. Keep reading for a complete list of Hydrafacial’s benefits.
Hydrafacial’s number one benefit is hydrated, healthier-looking skin.
Hydration is essential for healthy skin. You can hydrate by drinking glass after glass of water, but the topical serums supplied during a Hydrafacial provide a potent dose of hydrating substances that leave skin glowing.
Improved skin hydration prevents wrinkles and sagging skin as you age. People who drink water and hydrate their skin have fewer signs of aging and clearer skin.
The serums used during a Hydrafacial are also designed to even out skin tone and texture, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and leave skin full and hydrated.
Many people avoid facials because of manual extractions. In a traditional facial, an aesthetician seeks out clogged pores with a magnifying glass and uses their fingers to apply pressure to the pores until the contents are released.
Hydrafacial’s vortex of water and healing serums extract impurities without causing unnecessary irritation, swelling, or redness. The cleansing and exfoliating phases of Hydrafacials remove dead skin cells from the surface and penetrate deep into the pores.
After the extractions are complete, the device applies healing serums based on your unique skin care goals. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory serums reduce any redness or irritation.
The Vortex technology helps the water penetrate deep into the skin to remove dirt and impurities. After the first cleanse, an acid peel that contains lactic and glycolic acid is applied to the skin. The peel removes dead skin cells from the epidermis and cleanses bacteria from the dermis.
Hydrafacial treatments remove the impurities that cause regular acne breakouts and kill harmful bacteria that result in other skin irritations like blackheads. They are also 100% customizable, so those with thick, oily, or congested skin can request extra tips on the device for deeper exfoliation and extraction.
Within a couple of Hydrafacial treatments, most patients see a dramatic reduction in acne breakouts. The serums applied to your skin during a Hydrafacial contain antioxidants, peptides, and essential oils that reduce inflammation and kill the bacteria that cause acne breakouts.
But Hydrafacial doesn’t only prevent acne breakouts. The extractions and chemical peels remove the top layer of skin to reveal the fresh, healthy-looking skin beneath. Hydrafacial may reduce the appearance of sun damage, scars, and dark spots.
When you invest in regular skin care, you are already one step closer to younger-looking skin. Even simple additions like sunscreen and a daily moisturizer can make a difference when it comes to aging skin.
Over time, your skin produces less collagen, and collagen loss results in wrinkles, sagging, and other signs of aging. While Hydrafacial cannot turn back the clocks, it can support healthy skin as your age.
One of the options during a hydrafacial includes powerful antioxidant serums which can prevent UV rays from the sun from breaking down collagen. They also protect existing collagen from free radicals.
Hydrafacial is not only for the skin on your face. The treatment has also proven to be an effective way to support healthy hair. When used on the scalp, Hydrafacial may even stop hair loss and increase hair growth.
Dry and unhealthy skin on the scalp can lead to hair loss in both men and women. Hydrafacial washes away dead skin cells and increases circulation in the scalp. The treatment can be used in conjunction with other hair restoration treatments like Viviscal, Propecia, and laser therapy.
Hydrafacial has very few side effects. Stadia Med Spa recommends it to men and women looking to improve overall skin health, reverse the signs of aging, stop unwanted hair loss, and reduce spots, treat acne, and other blemishes.
The treatment is customizable to treat those with sensitive skin, mild to moderate acne, and the beginning signs of aging. However, like all cosmetic treatments, Hydrafacial does have two well-known side effects and risks.
Redness is the most common side effect of a Hydrafacial. While the cleansing and exfoliation stages can be gentle, some of Hydrafacial’s tips offer a deeper scrub that penetrates deep into your pores. Some irritation and redness are expected when the dirt and impurities are removed.
Any redness after a Hydrafacial usually disappears within 48 hours of your treatment. Take extra care not to scrub the treatment area, and do not apply any skin-care products that are not approved by a Stadia Med Spa professional.
Patients with extremely sensitive skin, Rosacea, heavy acne, active infections, or sunburns should not get a Hydrafacial, as the exfoliation and serums can cause additional irritation. The serums also contain many skin-healing ingredients that may cause allergic reactions or breakouts for people with sensitive skin.
Stadia Med Spa in San Antonio, TX, suggests Hydrafacials for healthy, hydrated skin. The gentle treatment is suitable for both men and women and can treat areas of the face, chest, neck, and scalp.
