Book OnlineWhat is Hydrodermabrasion?
Hydrodermabrasion is a modern evolution of traditional microdermabrasion. Instead of using harsh crystals or abrasive tools, it uses a unique combination of water, oxygen, and a specially designed handpiece to exfoliate the skin while simultaneously infusing it with hydrating serums. This process removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and provides deep hydration, promoting a healthier and more youthful appearance.
How Does Hydrodermabrasion Work?
During the treatment, a special handpiece delivers a controlled stream of water and oxygen to your skin. The water gently exfoliates the outermost layer of skin while simultaneously vacuuming up impurities, dead skin cells, and excess oil. The handpiece also infuses nourishing serums into the skin, giving it a burst of hydration and antioxidants.
This multi-step approach allows for a more thorough and comfortable exfoliation compared to traditional microdermabrasion, and because it’s non-invasive, there is no need for downtime. The process is both soothing and effective, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin or those seeking a gentle yet powerful treatment.
What Are the Benefits of Hydrodermabrasion?
- Exfoliation & Skin Renewal: The treatment gently removes dead skin cells, revealing a fresh, smooth complexion and stimulating the production of new skin cells.
- Deep Hydration: One of the standout benefits of Hydrodermabrasion is its ability to hydrate the skin. The infusion of serums nourishes and replenishes moisture, leaving your skin looking plump and glowing.
- Improves Skin Tone & Texture: By removing dead skin and boosting collagen production, Hydrodermabrasion helps even out skin tone and texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Reduces Pore Size & Clears Pores: The treatment unclogs pores and helps with blackheads, leaving your skin looking clearer and more refined.
- Non-Invasive with No Downtime: Unlike more aggressive treatments, Hydrodermabrasion is gentle and non-invasive. There is minimal discomfort and no downtime, making it a perfect choice for those with busy schedules.
- Suitable for All Skin Types: Whether you have dry, oily, or sensitive skin, Hydrodermabrasion is safe and effective for all skin types.
What Can Hydrodermabrasion Treat?
Hydrodermabrasion can address a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Helps to smooth and soften fine lines for a more youthful appearance.
- Uneven Skin Tone & Texture: Improves the appearance of pigmentation issues, such as age spots and sun damage.
- Acne & Blackheads: Unclogs pores and reduces excess oil to minimize breakouts and prevent future acne.
- Dry Skin & Dehydration: Deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin, leaving it moisturized and glowing.
- Dull or Tired Skin: Brightens and rejuvenates tired, lackluster skin for a more radiant appearance.
What Should You Expect During the Treatment?
Hydrodermabrasion is a relaxing, comfortable procedure that typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes. During the treatment, you will feel a gentle, soothing sensation as the handpiece glides over your skin. The combination of water, oxygen, and serums will leave your skin feeling refreshed and hydrated.
There is no downtime associated with the treatment, and most patients experience little to no discomfort. After the treatment, you may notice a slight redness, similar to a mild sunburn, which usually fades within a few hours.
What is the Recovery Time?
One of the main advantages of Hydrodermabrasion is that there is no downtime. You can immediately return to your regular activities after the treatment. While you may experience mild redness or a warm sensation on the skin right after the procedure, this typically resolves quickly. Your skin will feel soft, hydrated, and refreshed, and the benefits continue to improve over the following days as the skin heals and regenerates.
How Many Treatments Will You Need?
For optimal results, a series of Hydrodermabrasion treatments is often recommended. Typically, patients start with 4-6 sessions, spaced 1-2 weeks apart. However, individual treatment plans will vary based on your skin concerns and goals. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 4-6 weeks to maintain the benefits of smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
