Through our HydraFacial procedures, we help bring your youthful skin back and add a touch of an irresistible glow on your skin that will just work magic for your looks.
HydraFacial is a patented skin treatment, which can be done at a medical spa or by a dermatologist. It is non-invasive and has been found to provide more drastic and better effects than regular facial treatments. HydraFacial is done in a three-step procedure, that involves deep cleaning of the skin, exfoliation of the damaged skin cells, and hydration of the skin to produce more effective results. The procedure has undergone clinical tests and is FDA-approved for the treatment of various skin conditions such as dryness, and wrinkles.
When you visit us at the clinic, one is taken through consultation with our team of experts who they advise you on the procedures, the requirements, and the criteria to be used. We also collect medical history for our clients so as to help determine the best medication and other products to use. It is important that our clients give us consent for the procedures after they have understood all that is needed.
HydraFacial procedure is done on an outpatient basis, usually at the dermatologist’s office. Prepping is done and the three-step procedure begins. The first stage involves cleaning and peeling. This is done by the use of a fluid vortex of the Activ-4 serum on the skin to eliminate oils and dirt particles from deep layers of the skin well as dead skin. GlySal serum, made up of a mixture of glycolic and salicylic acid enables easy skin peeling without post-peeling effects. The second phase involves extraction and hydration, The vortex-like wand is used to withdraw detritus from the pores, while infusing hydrating serums into the skin. The last step involves infusion and protection, where serums containing antioxidants and peptides are applied to the skin to nourish and protect the skin while producing the anticipated results. The serums used are chosen with considerations being made on the client’s skin type, so as to ensure no side effects and effective recovery.
HydraFacial uses hydradermabrasion techniques for skin rejuvenation. It is similar to microdermabrasion but differs in the fact that, unlike microdermabrasion, it does not concentrate on the exfoliation of the damaged skin, but also pervades the skin with serums to keep it hydrated. The process is also gentler and more productive. It is also different from oxygen facial in that oxygen facial uses an oxygen stream at high pressure to exfoliate the skin, while HydraFacial uses acids such as glycolic and salicylic acids for exfoliation. HydraFacial however gives better and deeper exfoliation than the former.
The benefits of HydraFacial are that it’s a short time procedure, done within 30- 60 minutes. The results are seen instantly and you will leave the clinic feeling like a whole new person. They are also long-lasting and can last up to 7 days depending on the aftercare provided. For better and more effective results, one is advised to schedule subsequent visits in about 4 weeks at the clinic. HydraFacial has no downtime and one can resume normal routine immediately. Through exfoliation, we remove dead skin while the serums are used to enhance collagen formation to help in firmer, healthier skin, and the serums enhance a brighter skin. The procedure has been known to also help reduce signs of aging, wrinkles, and fine lines. The process is non-invasive, hence reducing the risk of infections that might have occurred during surgery. It is also painless and comfortable and naturally has no side effects. It improves skin hydration, and texture and even unclogs pores which helps enhance pore size. Moreover, HydraFacial can be used with other skin treatment techniques such as dermal filler or light therapy to boost the results.
HydraFacials are appropriate for all skin types and all skin tones, at all ages. It is however not recommended for people who have active rashes, sunburns, or suffer from rosacea. Pregnant and nursing mothers are also exempted from this procedure, and our doctors help them find alternative solutions for their skin conditions.
