Why Get a HydraFacial Treatment?

Busy schedules don’t leave much time for rest and relaxation. But who says relaxation needs to take more than 30 minutes? HydraFacial is both an effective treatment and relaxing, calming experience, and can easily be squeezed in during a lunch break! This experience provides patients with restored radiance, beautifully glowing skin, and a good mid-day relaxation session all wrapped in a quick 30-minute session.

HydraFacial vs Regular Facials

Regular facials perform each step one by one; HydraFacial performs each step all at the same time. Additionally, HydraFacial is performed with a mechanical device while regular facials are done with the specialist’s hands.

The device makes certain of treatment uniformity, and although each treatment is customized to the patient’s needs, the movement is still the same. This means even and accurate results. With hands, all of the actions are performed manually which can leave room for error or unevenness. Extraction can also be painful when done with the hands because there is no uniformity to the force used. With HydraFacial, the moisture and serums loosen the impurities to make the suction removal easy and pain-free. Further, the serums and resurfacing are stronger with HydraFacial, meaning more visible results.

HydraFacial vs Other Facial Skin Treatments

Studies show that HydraFacial results are better than Microdermabrasion, IPL Photofacial, and Chemical Peels. Microdermabrasion mimics the first step of HydraFacial by removing the stratum corneum. It does so with an abrasive device, but that is as far as the treatment goes. It does not reach deep to remove impurities as HydraFacial does. Chemical Peels mimic the first and second step of HydraFacial; it removes the top layers of skin and removes some impurities. However, it is very harsh and induces injury to the skin. IPL Photofacial uses pulsed light wavelengths to only target dark pigmentations, not skin texture or impurities.

HydraFacial can be looked as a much gentler and safer combination of the 3, plus the addition of proven hydrating serums. These serums are specially designed to target the universal conditions of whiteheads, blackheads, sun damage, age spots, enlarged pores, fines lines, and skin tone. The treatment provides healthier skin, which will leave patients with lasting results. And continued use of these scientifically proven serums helps assure this.

Ideal Candidates

Consultation

During the initial Hydrafacial consultation with Dr. Bachelor at either of his Bay Area locations, patients will have the opportunity to explain their concerns with the appearance of their facial skin. He will perform a detailed examination of the affected areas, and determine the perfect customized treatment that will counter the specific conditions. Patients should make mention of any skin conditions they have or have had in the past. Any questions will gladly be addressed at this time, including pricing inquiries.

Treatment Process

First, the face is infused with hydration to loosen the dead skin cells and open the pores to exfoliate them with ease and prepare the skin for extraction. The meticulously engineered peel is applied simultaneously to loosen the impurities for the temporarily opened pores without damaging the skin.

The unique spiral designed powerful suction is used to extract the impurities with ease, all while replenishing the skin with specially formulated serums to give the skin exactly what it needs. A final coat of hydrating serums is applied for the skin to soak up and reveal bright, radiant skin.

This non-invasive process takes less than 30 minutes, and results can be seen after just one treatment. Some patients even fall asleep during the treatment since it is so comfortable and relaxing. Patients are able to immediately apply makeup after treatment and return right back to their daily routine.

HydraFacial Results

There is absolutely no downtime needed after treatment, and just like any other facial, patients are able to continue on with their daily activities. HydraFacial patients can notice immediate improvement after treatment, with results continuously enhancing as the skin becomes healthier and healthier. An important 5th step of the treatment is continuing to treat the skin with hydrating serums and moisturizers to maintain glowing results. And for even longer lasting results, continued HydraFacial treatments are recommended once a month.

Although very rare, a side effect can be slight redness of the face, but makeup can easily cover this.
