HYDRA FACIAL

For those unfamiliar, the Hydra Facial is a medical grade resurfacing treatment that clears out your pores, plus it hydrates your skin. It's offered across the country at licensed medical professional facilities, or where a certified Hydra Facial esthetician is present. The four-step treatment includes cleansing, exfoliating, extracting, and hydrating the skin with serums that are infused into pores with the Hydra Peel Tip, a pen-like device. The serums have anti-aging and antioxidant properties and are tailored to address the specific needs of the patients.

The Hydra Facial treatment starts with cleansing by removing the dead skin cells and excess sebum from the skin. Next a mix of salicylic and glycolic acids are applied to the skin to break up any dirt and oil that's clogging pores. Then the Hydra Peel tip is used to essentially vacuum out blackheads, dirt, oil and impurities, while hydrating, plumping, and nourishing serums are simultaneously applied to the skin.

A Hydra Facial treatment can improve your skin in a ton of ways. Its many benefits include a more hydrated, bright, plump and clear complexion. Plus it can also improve signs of aging. The treatment reduces fine lines and wrinkles, increases firmness, evens tone, texture and brown spots as well as reducing enlarged pores.

One of the many reasons why the Hydra Facial is so popular is because there's minimal side effects and essentially no downtime post-treatment. There may be a little redness immediately following the treatment but it will quickly subside.

Following the treatment:

You'll want to let your skin rest and soak up all of the benefits of the facial for the rest of the day. You can wear makeup the next morning and resume your normal routine. The risks are low but warns that it's possible to experience irritation from the customized serums if you have reactive skin.

Everyone!

One of the Hydra Facial's biggest draws is that the treatment is suitable for virtually any age and skin type-save for a few exceptions.

• This treatment is nice for teenagers with acne, adults with pimples, wrinkles, and hyper-pigmentation, and for older patients with sun damage and even flaky pre- cancerous spots (as part of more serious treatments). Although beneficial to many skin types, those with active rashes, sunburns, or rosacea, along with pregnant patients, should abstain from this treatment.
• Although your skin looks dewy and glow following a Hydra Facial, the treatment isn't a quick fix. It's intended to improve skin's appearance over time. That being said, its effects do last longer than other facials. But in order to get maximum results, get a Hydra Facial treatment every four to six weeks.
• You can switch up the serums used during the treatment to specifically target your personal skincare concerns such as aging or dullness.
