Everyone wants gorgeous, glowing skin, and while there are a lot of different treatment options out there, there’s one in particular that offers all of the benefits with none of the drawbacks or downtime. It’s quick, easy, non-invasive, and offers astounding results: HydraFacial™.

HydraFacial™ is a three-step, 30-minute process designed to leave skin clean, hydrated and protected with a noticeable improvement in appearance immediately. 

HydraFacial™ is designed to address a variety of skin concerns including fine lines and wrinkles, elasticity and firmness, skin tone and texture, and dark spots. Let’s look at how HydraFacial™ works, why it’s right for you, and how it compares to other treatments. 

How HydraFacial™ Works 

With HydraFacial™, a special machine that utilizes a gentle vacuum handpiece and unique liquid solutions combines four different skincare procedures in one, cleansing, exfoliating, extracting and hydrating skin. 

Step one: Cleanse and Peel
This step includes a deep cleansing of your skin along with a gentle exfoliation and improvements to texture.

Step two: Extract and Hydrate
This step includes a suction process that painlessly removes dirt from pores, replacing it with powerful hydration. The secret to this step is called Vortex-Fusion, a patented system that uses suction through one-of-a-kind HydroPeel® Tips to remove impurities while depositing moisture. 

Step three: Fuse and Protect
This step infuses skin with antioxidants and peptides to give it a nourished, youthful glow. 

In just 30 minutes HydraFacial™ leaves skin soft and dewy. It prepares skin to receive serums and moisturizers so they penetrate deeper, making your skincare routine more effective long-term.

Is HydraFacial™ right for you? 

Unlike many alternatives, HydraFacial™ is perfect for all skin types. Normal, combination, oily, dry, sensitive — it works for every unique variety of skin, and it works immediately. No need to wait for multiple treatments to start seeing results. 

In addition to the above steps, HydraFacial™ includes optional custom Boosters that can be added to treat specific skin challenges. So if you have specific areas you want to address, these can easily be added. 

Specifically, HydraFacial™ Boosters offer the option to:

  • Improve tone, texture, and elasticity  
  • Minimize dark spots
  • Clarify with BLUE light therapy (which helps to clear bacteria from skin and treat sun damage)
  • Reduce the appearance of fine lines 
  • Provide lymphatic drainage (meaning, draining of excess liquid) that provides maximum detoxification

Hydrafacial™ vs. Other Treatments

Let’s look at other treatments that are often used to improve the look and texture of the skin. 

Microdermabrasion is a procedure that exfoliates the skin using a minimally invasive tool such as a diamond wand. It removes the top layer of skin and over time can improve the appearance of sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and other issues. 

The HydraFacial™ is similar, and is sometimes called “hydradermabrasion.” However, while microdermabrasion uses manual extractions via the wand, the Hydrafacial™ uses the HydroPeel® Tips which offer a gentler, suction effect pulling blackheads from skin. 

While the two are used for many of the same skin issues, microdermabrasion may minimize the appearance of stretch marks, while the HydraFacial™ is not used to treat them. In addition, microdermabrasion has the potential to for downtime, the HydraFacial™ leaves no visible evidence. 

Microneedling is a process that perforates the skin via a multineedle head attached to a handheld wand. This causes a controlled damage to the outerlayer of skin. The injured skin sheds gradually helping to smooth textural issues. Microneedling can be adjusted to various depths to target deeper skin textural issues like acne scarring and should only be performed by highly trained medical providers like our registered nurses at Clarity. It is also uncomfortable and a topical anesthetic must be applied prior to treatment. This is a very effective treatment, especially when performed at regular intervals, but there is some downtime with this treatment. 

The HydraFacial™ offers many of the same benefits but without any risks and is pain-free.

Chemical peels use a specific combination of acids to remove layers of skin to address fine lines, scars, discoloration, dark spots and other common issues. Peels are available in different strengths, targeted for specific skin types and issues.

Chemical peels are very effective, but they can cause peeling (depending on the strength) which some individuals may feel subconscious being in public. HydraFacial™ works on all skin types and requires no downtime.

As we’ve discussed, the HydraFacial™ works for all skin types, requires no downtime, takes just 30 minutes, and can address a multitude of different skin care needs. You’ll see noticeable results instantly. If you’re looking for an easy, pain-free treatment that’s effective, HydraFacial™ might be exactly what you’re looking for. Schedule a consultation today!
