We all want healthy, natural-looking skin, and while age and other factors, such as sun exposure, damage our skin, there are many available options to rejuvenate and revitalize the skin. Going to the extreme of having surgery may not be in the books for many of us. If you are looking for a professional establishment to address your skin concerns, contact us or visit us in Tampa, FL, to schedule a consultation. At BevelUp, we can help you look and feel younger with a HydraFacial treatment.
What Is a HydraFacial?
A HYDRAFACIAL TREATMENT is a non-surgical, minimally invasive medical procedure that improves the skin’s appearance by exfoliating, cleansing, and rehydrating the skin from within. HydraFacial treatments use a wand device to treat your area of concern. This device restores elasticity in your skin by promoting the production of collagen. The HydraFacial treatment consists of five steps. The first step aims to cleanse and exfoliate, while the steps that follow will remove dirt and rehydrate your skin to keep it evenly toned.
HydraFacial Process
Cleanse And Exfoliation
The efforts you make to keep the surface of your skin clean do not go unnoticed. However, during a HydraFacial treatment, your skin is thoroughly cleaned and exfoliated to remove dirt, oil, and stubborn skincare products. Dead skin cells from the uppermost layer of skin are exfoliated with microdermabrasion. The following steps rely on your skin being clean and exfoliated. Although it may sound rather invasive, this process is gentle on the skin, safe, and effective.
Chemical Peel
The following step will introduce a light chemical peel to the second layer of skin. This peel will further exfoliate the skin. It is in this layer of skin that superficial skin concerns usually form. This step removes excess sebum, assists with acne, and dissolves whiteheads and blackheads by using salicylic acid or glycolic acid peel.
Extraction
As the previous steps loosen hardened oil and dead skin cells, this step aims to gently extract it from your skin. It is extracted by the Vortex-Fusion technology used in the device. This technology removes dirt from the skin that may cause your pores to get clogged. This step must remove the dirt from your skin so that the following steps may be effective.
Facial Customization
We all have different skin types and skin tones. Likewise, HydraFacial treatments are meant to suit our individual needs. This step allows the treatment to be customized according to the needs of your skin. Serums that are specifically chosen for your skin are now applied to the treated area. More suction may also be carried out at this stage to gain your desired results. This step, unlike the previous ones, is uniquely designed to address your particular skin concerns, such as uneven skin tone and acne. While previous steps are designed to generally cleanse and exfoliate, this step addresses your skin specifically.
Hydration
The final step is important in keeping your skin hydrated and smooth. This step hydrates the skin by using an intense hydration serum to lock moisture into the skin of the treated area. The serum soothes and nourishes the skin while filling it with collagen and antioxidants, giving you a refreshed, and rejuvenated appearance.
Benefits Of HydraFacial Treatment
This non-surgical treatment helps thousands of people with different skin types and skin tones of all ages to address their skin concerns. It treats skin conditions such as dull skin, dark spots, blemishes, acne and acne scars, accident and injury scars, uneven skin tone, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, blackheads, and whiteheads. HydraFacial treatments also stimulate the production of collagen, which increases elasticity in the skin, leaving you with smoother, healthier skin.
How Long Do the Results Last?
This treatment is not only highly effective but gentle too. While many skin treatments require more than one session to achieve results, HydraFacial treatments work in just one treatment. This single session will rejuvenate and revitalize your skin, leaving you looking and feeling great. The results of a HydraFacial treatment will last up to 6 weeks, and regular treatments are recommended every month or so. This will ensure that your skin stays cleansed and exfoliated, resulting in a lower chance of acne breakouts.
HydraFacial Results
Immediately after your HydraFacial treatment session, you can benefit from visible results. Your skin will be noticeably smoother, softer, and more radiant after the treatment. More intense results will become more visible over the next few days as the appearance of your skin continues to improve.
Aftercare For HydraFacial Treatments
Although your skin will be rejuvenated and hydrated after a HydraFacial treatment, some skincare routines can be implemented to keep skin smooth and unblemished. To get the most out of your HydraFacial treatment, here are some steps to consider:
Apply an SPF 30 or higher sunscreen to protect your skin from sun damage.
Avoid direct sun exposure for 2 – 3 days after your treatment.
Hot showers or saunas should be avoided for 24 hours after treatment.
Avoid exfoliation treatments and chemical peels for about 14 days.
Laser skin treatments should be avoided for 14 days after treatment.
General application of makeup should be avoided for at least 24 hours to allow your skin to restore itself naturally and stay cleansed.
