Promise

HydraFacial will not only improve the look of your skin, but with frequent treatments, will actually restore skin health.

Many of the popular skin care treatments available today include chemical and physical exfoliation including peels and lasers. And while they each may have their place in the treatment of your skin, many experts believe that these treatments can be harsh; or overused; breaking down the lipid barrier that protects the skin, and in some cases actually causing accelerated aging of the skin.

Results

The smooth results and hydration may last 5 to 7 days or even longer. One treatment per month is recommended for improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyper-pigmentation, blackheads and whiteheads, acneic, and oily skin. Of course, HydraFacial isn’t a miracle treatment, and best results are often achieved by multiple treatments scheduled weekly or biweekly for six to eight sessions, followed by monthly appointments to maintain the desired results.

What results can you expect? According to a study of participants who each received 6 treatments spaced 7-10 days apart, the findings were as follows:

decreased pore size & fine lines
decreased hyperpigmentation (dark spots)
improved skin texture and tone
increased skin thickness (as we age, our skin thins)
creation of new collagen (your skin’s support) and elastin (allows your skin to bounce back)

These are pretty significant results for an in-spa treatment that can be done in as little as 30 minutes (or up to 90, depending on the many options for customization), with no pain and no downtime! You can actually have a HydraFacial treatment done during your lunch hour, and head back to work, sans make-up, looking and feeling better than when you left!

Customizable

Another huge benefit of the HydraFacial is that it can be performed in tandem with other facial treatments for even more remarkable results. For instance, LED light therapy was developed by NASA, and uses light emitting diodes to deliver energy to the cellular level of the skin, helping to encourage the production of collagen, which gives young skin the plumpness we lose as we age, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
