Guide to Hydrodermabrasion and Its Benefits

When you combine the effects of gentle exfoliation and deep hydration, the result is a radiant, glowing complexion that will make people wonder what skincare secret you’re hiding. For many, that magic wand is a cutting-edge technique called hydrodermabrasion, sometimes referred to as a hydrofacial. Want to learn about the benefits of hydrodermabrasion and why you’ll want to add this advanced treatment to your skincare regimen? You’re in the right place! 

What is hydrodermabrasion?

Hydrodermabrasion, or a hydrofacial, is a non-invasive facial treatment that can minimize signs of aging, improve hydration and enhance your complexion. Many people incorporate hydrodermabrasion applications into other facials to deliver dramatic results. Here’s a closer look at this revolutionary treatment: 

How does hydrodermabrasion work?

As the name suggests, hydrodermabrasion combines microdermabrasion with targeted hydro-serum infusions to eliminate dead skin cells, treat specific skin conditions, and deliver an intense surge of moisture to your skin all with one tool. The specialized handheld device is gentle enough for sensitive skin and powerful enough to transform your appearance. 

What skin concerns can a Hydrofacial treat?

Here are a few of the aesthetic concerns hydrodermabrasion, or a hydrofacial can improve:

  • Uneven skin tone

  • Rough, bumpy skin texture

  • Acne and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation 

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Large pores

  • Dull complexion

  • Skin laxity

What to expect during your appointment

Your session will start with a deep cleansing to remove dirt, oils, bacteria, and makeup from your pores. Then, your treatment provider will use the specialized dual-purpose hydrodermabrasion wand to exfoliate your outer layer of skin while infusing targeted treatment serums at the same time.

Vortex technology gently extracts sebaceous filaments and other impurities while depositing proprietary serums specifically chosen to address your skin concerns. Most clients see visible results immediately after their hydrodermabrasion treatment.

Now that you understand the basics, here are some of the benefits you can expect from hydrodermabrasion: 

Minimizes signs of aging

Sun exposure, gravity, and diminished collagen production begin to take their toll as we age. Dark spots, skin laxity, and fine lines become more apparent, and that youthful glow begins to fade.

Fortunately, hydrodermabrasion can counteract these effects and restore your dewy, vibrant complexion. You may notice that your skin has a plump, radiant quality immediately after your session and that the positive effects are maintained for a couple of weeks following treatment. 

Improves skin texture

Uneven skin texture may appear due to acne, dehydration, hormonal fluctuations, or the aging process. Whatever the cause, hydrodermabrasion can eliminate dead skin cells and refine your outermost layer to smooth out your skin texture. 

Brightens skin tone

Hydrodermabrasion can revive congested skin and revitalize a dull, dehydrated complexion with the help of gentle exfoliation, intense moisture, and nourishing serums. It can also minimize the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and discoloration to bring the focus back to your skin’s best qualities. 

Stimulates collagen production 

The exfoliation methods and suction used during hydrodermabrasion gently stimulate your body’s collagen production system and increase blood flow to the treatment area, facilitating the healing process. Boosted collagen levels, enhanced circulation, and increased lymphatic flow help diminish puffy under-eyes, smooth out fine lines, and give your skin a more youthful appearance. 

Suitable for all skin types

Many methods of physical exfoliation are too harsh for sensitive skin, but hydrodermabrasion offers a mild alternative that delivers similarly dramatic results. No matter your skin type, you can likely enjoy the transformative power of exfoliation without the adverse effects of more invasive treatments. 

Hydrodermabrasion vs microdermabrasion

How does hydrodermabrasion compare to classic microdermabrasion? While both microdermabrasion and hydrodermabrasion can deliver similar results, hydrodermabrasion combines the added benefit of specialized serums.

These are a key element of all hydrodermabrasion treatments and amplify the results of the treatment. Exfoliation and gentle infusion increase the absorption of active ingredients so your skin benefits longer from these powerful solutions.
