Hydrafacial In Mirfield

Question 1

What Is Hydrafacial?

Answer

Hydradermabrasion, introduced by the innovative company behind the only example of this technology, the Hydrafacia treatment which became available in the UK in 2009, is indeed similar in general concept to its older cousin; however, the primary difference is the lack of any crystals used to assist in the exfoliation process, and the use instead of a specially shaped spiral tip with vortex technology which exfoliates and removes impurities alongside delivering pneumatically applied serums that cleanse, hydrate and provide antioxidant infusion during the treatment process, (something which traditional microdermabrasion treatments do not). This makes it a much more advanced treatment than microdermabrasion.

Hydradermabrasion takes its name from the word ‘hydrate’ meaning to ‘cause to take up moisture’. This ability to actively moisturise the skin during the treatment process sets it apart from all other skin resurfacing procedures available, such as microdermabrasion, chemical peeling and laser/IPL treatments.

Question 2

How Does Hydrafacial Work?

Answer

The Hydrafacial treatment begins with a thorough cleansing of the skin, eliminating dead skin cells and excess oil. Subsequently, a blend of salicylic and glycolic acid is applied to break down any dirt and oil clogging the pores.

The Hydrafacial device then uses a high-pressure flow of fluid to flush out impurities, including dirt, oil, and blackheads, which are then suctioned away.

Throughout the process, nourishing serums are infused into the skin, providing hydration, plumping, and rejuvenation.

Question 3

What Areas Can Be Treated With Hydrafacial?

Answer

There are many benefits of Hydrafacial treatment which include, but aren’t limited to:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Skin elasticity and firmness
Skin texture
Uneven skin tone and age spots/brown spots
Acne
Oily skin and congested skin (removes dead skin cells)

Question 4

What Does A Hydrafacial Treatment Feel Like?

Answer

Hydrafacial treatment is often described as a gentle tugging sensation, like a mini vacuum, on the skin. It is a non-invasive procedure with no skin-puncturing or harsh manipulation involved, so there is no risk of excessive redness, irritation, or harm. You can expect a smooth and soothing experience without any discomfort.

Question 5

What Are The Risks Of Having Hydrafacial?

Answer

Hydrafacial is generally considered safe and free of complications, but some individuals may feel slight pressure from the device during the procedure. Unlike other cosmetic treatments, it is not meant to be painful or cause redness.

However, it is not recommended for individuals with active skin conditions, such as a rosacea flare, or a current rash. In such cases, it is best to seek medical advice before undergoing Hydrafacial treatment.

Question 6

How Soon Will I See The Results Of A Hydrafacial?

Answer

One Hydrafacial session can produce visible improvements in your skin's appearance. Depending on your skin concerns, multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal results. For sustained benefits, it is recommended to schedule regular monthly appointments.

Question 7

How Long Does Hydrafacial Last?

Answer

Hydrafacial treatment delivers powerful antioxidants into your skin so following just one Hydrafacial, you will notice immediate skin improvements that will last for several days.

Specific skin conditions may need multiple treatments to see results – your practitioner will share their recommendations after a personalised consultation.

For optimum results, a course of regular treatments is usually recommended, followed by regular monthly or quarterly maintenance treatments. How many treatments you will need can be discussed with your practitioner.

Also, avoid swimming pools for the next 48 hours. Using a minimum of SPF30 sun protection is crucial (as it should always be!)
