One of the latest non-invasive facials that work to cleanse the skin and bring out its natural glow is the hydrafacial. This treatment works to minimize fine lines, wrinkles, mild acne, hyperpigmentation, clogged/enlarged pores, dark spots, and oily skin.

This treatment works with the help of a unique spiral suction tip that sucks out impurities so the serum can penetrate deep into the skin’s pores.

This hydradermabrasion procedure is a multi-step treatment that helps leave skin well-hydrated and firm while ensuring elasticity and radiance are restored.

Before considering getting a hydrafacial treatment, it’s important to understand the pros and cons of the procedure.

Advantages of Hydrafacials

• Hydrafacial treatment is appropriate for all skin types. Even those who have sensitive skin benefit from this procedure as it does not cause irritation or excessive redness.

• Recovery time is quick and fast. Soon after the procedure, you can continue with your daily tasks. There’s no downtime and you can even do your makeup the same day.

• In the first session, instant results are immediately visible. After the required number of sessions, your skin looks clean, firm and glowing.

• The texture of your skin improves a lot.

• The serums used in the Hydrafacial treatment can be customized to suit your skin type and texture.

• The cost of a session is on a par with most other cosmetic treatments.

Cons of Hydrafacials

• You require more than one session to detect a drastic change in your appearance. It can be a very time consuming process as you have to attend more than one session.

• Treatment results are not definitive in the sense that they differ from person to person. While some may experience favorable changes in the first session, others may need multiple treatments before seeing significant changes.

• Although the cost of a session is the same as most facials available, it can become more expensive if you need more than one session to get the desired results.

Some Things to Know About Hydrafacials

Itching, swelling, and redness are the most common effects experienced by many people immediately after treatment, especially those with very sensitive skin. However, it is only a temporary phase. These sensations are mild and will disappear shortly after.

A Hydrafacial treatment cannot be performed by any surgeon. Only a certified esthetician is qualified to carry out this treatment, as they have undergone extensive training and understand the nuances of the procedure. This or any other cosmetic treatment should never be done by someone who has not received proper training.
