Why The HydraFacial May Be Your Skin’s Summertime BFF

With the summertime heat ramping up quickly, we must be thinking about the various ways we can take care of our skin. Sun protection is at the top of the to-do list, so we will begin here today by reminding you of the importance of broad spectrum sunscreen. Don’t just apply it when you’re sitting poolside, apply it daily to all parts of your skin that get touched by the sun. Those 10 to 15 minutes of UV exposure while running errands does more damage than you might think. Now, that out of the way, let’s discuss how you can promote optimal skin health and resiliency all summer long through professional treatments like the HydraFacial.

The HydraFacial is one of our most popular facial treatments, and we can understand why. This pampering medical-grade facial accomplishes several objectives at once. It resurfaces the uppermost layer of the skin, clears debris and oil from pores, and delivers necessary hydration to the skin to fight the signs of premature aging.

What Happens During The HydraFacial?

The HydraFacial is a four-step process that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates the skin. It is performed using a pen-like device. The facial begins with gentle cleansing and removes excess sebum and dead skin cells. Then, the skin is exfoliated with a solution of salicylic and glycolic acids. These substances help remove damaged skin cells and they also break up the oil and dirt that clogs pores. With debris loosened, the applicator tip then easily vacuums out impurities. What is unique about the HydraFacial is that, while the applicator is sweeping away debris, it is also infusing the skin with nourishing serums. The timing of this infusion is what makes the HydraFacial so effective. 

What Does The HydraFacial Do For My Skin?

Understandably, you want to know what any kind of beauty treatment does for your skin. Will you see results from your HydraFacial? Will you feel them? The answer is yes. After a HydraFacial, the skin looks brighter, clearer, and plumper due to its infusion of nutrients. It feels softer, too. When the HydraFacial is part of an ongoing skincare routine, people notice improvements in tone, texture, and the signs of aging like fine lines and brown spots.

HydraFacial treatment is so gentle that it can be done every 4 to 6 weeks. In a drier climate like ours, that is ideal timing to offset the effects of our environment. Schedule your HydraFacial today. Call (702) 684-5502.
