Hydrafacial Q & A

What is a HydraFacial treatment? How Does it work?

The HydraFacial is a medical-grade skin resurfacing device that consists of a three part regimen designed to cleanse and detox the skin, exfoliate dead skin cells, intensely hydrate the skin, and provide overall facial rejuvenation.

Part 1 – Cleansing

The skin is cleansed and dead skin cells are removed using the HydraFacial MD Active-4-cleanser™. This unique cleanser is formulated with non-irritating ingredients which cleans the skin while simultaneously hydrating it. The Active-4 serum is able to clean the skin more intensely, and remove dead skin cells, in a way that a typical face wash just can’t do.

Chemical Peel – depending on your skin type and skin concerns, different strength chemical peels can be selected and customized for your treatment. Most patients choose a gentle salicylic acid and glycolic acid peel, to help delicately exfoliate the skin. Stronger peels can be chosen to treat wrinkles and extensive sun damage.

Part 2 – Exfoliating

The second step of the cleansing process is often compared to microdermabrasion where the dead skin cells are removed. Exfoliation is performed using a vortex suction with a specially designed tip. This type of exfoliation is much more powerful than typical extractions, and will remove congestion from your skin and tighten your pores.

Part 3 – Infusing skin with intensive serums

The final stage of the HydraFacial focuses on hydrating the skin with unique skin care serums and moisturizers. Once your pores have been completely cleaned, your skin is infused with custom designed antioxidants and hydrating serums, which leave your skin glowing and bright with immediate results. By infusing antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid into your skin, your skin is rejuvenated and nourished of all of these essential ingredients.

HydraFacial is an all-round rejuvenation treatment which treats a number of specific skin concerns and is suitable for all different skin types. For those looking for visible skin refinement and rejuvenation, HydraFacial will help your skin look healthier and brighter. By cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing the skin, you will see an immediate improvement, with absolutely no downtime.

Skin Conditions which HydraFacial Benefits

Hyperpigmentation – if you have brown spots on your skin and are looking for a treatment to reduce their appearance then HydraFacial can be combined with with Brightalive Serum which is a non-retinol skin brightener. Brightalive contains alpha arbutin and bioengineered plant phytotechnology to help with hyperpigmentation issues.

Rosacea – HydraFacial can be combined with Rozatrol Serum which is designed to relieve Rosacea. This super serum can help prevent excess sebum production (one of the potential causes of Rosacea) while helping with inflammation, and healthy cell renewal. Red light LED can be used after your treatment to further reduce skin inflammation.

Skin Hydration for Dry Skin – For skin hydration then HydraFacial can be combined with Sente Dermal Repair which contains Heparan Sulfate Analog (HSA). This patented technology can help with both hydration and improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Collagen Boost for Winkles and Fine Lines– For those with thinning and aging skin, looking to give their collagen production a boost, HydraFacial can be combined with Alastin Trihex-Pro serum which contains peptides and active botanicals. This treatment helps increase the elasticity and firmness of the surface of your skin and improve both skin tone and texture. Red light LED can be used after this booster treatment to further promote collagen production and calm the skin.

Skin Detox for Poor Circulation– HydraFacial can be combined with lymphatic drainage which is designed to remove toxic buildup within the skin. Lymphatic drainage can also help with inflammation and can improve circulation allowing the skin to produce better oxygen which can lead to a more radiant skin texture.

Acne – HydraFacial can be combined with blue LED light therapy that can help with acne. If you’re suffering with acne or have acne prone skin there are a number of treatments that might help.

HydraFacial Boosters

If you’re thinking of having a HydraFacial treatment, there are a number of different add-ons or boosters that can be applied alongside the treatment. These boosters allow Dr. Lyubov Moysik to customize your HydraFacial treatment, to address your specific skin concerns. Skin Ceuticals and ZO Skin Health both have designed targeted boosters to enhance the HydraFacial with the infusion stage of the treatment.

For issues with hyperpigmentation, Britenol can be used as it is formulated to help target dark spots. Britenol also helps treat sunspots and sun damage. Britenol contains Alpha Arbutin and Vitamin C, which is a powerful antioxidant.

For anti-aging and skin refinement Dermabuilder can help boost collagen production in the skin. Dermabuilder contains a blend of peptides which are fragments of protein, the building blocks of skin. When collagen is boosted within the skin, it can help restore skin health and elastin, which can improve skin tone and diminish the signs of aging. Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) can also help with anti-aging. Again, these proteins can help boost collagen production which in turn helps the skin look younger.

Rozatrol contains Rosa Canina Extract and Lactose, which is a milk protein. These ingredients help to minimize the appearance of pores and soothe skin inflammation, respectively. Rozatrol booster can be used to detoxify skin and provide it with ample hydration, strengthening the overall skin barrier. Rozatrol also helps to diminish any visible facial redness and is commonly used with patients who have rosacea.

For textural concerns, ReGen GF boosts the production of collagen and elastin in the skin through a uniquely engineered peptide complex. Collagen and elastin are proteins that provide the skin with structural support. By increasing the rate of collagen synthesis in the skin, the ReGen GF booster can help to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and reveal a smoother, clearer, more youthful overall complexion.
