Dirt and residues, particularly from makeup, block the skin pores on your face. Consequently, the skin of your face will have an uneven tone, pigmentation, and dullness. The usual cleansing and moisturizer application may not be enough to moisturize and enrich your skin. That is why you may need to try out The Woodlands hydrafacial. Unlike other procedures for skin resurfacing, hydrafacial is non-invasive and delivers significant results immediately.

How hydrafacial works

The working of hydrafacial is similar to microdermabrasion, another leading facial treatment option. Microdermabrasion involves the use of an instrument that is mildly abrasive for gentle skin sanding. The treatment is effective in discarding the dull, uneven skin layer.

But, hydrafacial relies on a device with a tip and a suction mechanism for dead skin layer removal. A serum pumping into the skin occurs once dead skin cells are no longer available on the skin surface.

Generally, a hydrafacial treatment involves the following two steps.

Skin cleansing and peeling

Removing the outer dead cells from the surface of your facial skin is possible using the tip of the hydrafacial instrument. As a result, there is unclogging of pores and vibrant skin.

Also, there is an increase in collagen creation. Collagen is a fiber-like structure vital for the structure and function of your skin.

Skin hydration

As the tip of the hydrafacial device removes dead skin cells and makes the pores unclogged, it is easier to apply a serum or booster with antioxidants for moisturizing the skin. Serum application assists in the reduction of excess skin pigmentation, wrinkles, fine lines, and larger skin pores.

Once a hydrafacial treatment is complete, depending on your situation, you may need to supplement it with other facial treatment procedures. For instance, you may find light therapy and or dermal fillers beneficial.

To benefit from the lasting effects of a hydrafacial procedure, subject yourself to it at least once every four weeks.

Benefits of hydrafacial

Excellent for eliminating certain skin conditions

Hydrafacial may eliminate various skin conditions such as acne, wrinkles/fine lines, and brown patches. Furthermore, the treatment solution can help if you have oily skin, sensitive skin, or blocked skin pores. Your dermatologist’s exfoliants break down the dirt, debris, and oil clogging your skin pores.

Restores the firmness of the skin

The addition of nutrients that hydrate the skin stimulates the production of collagen. Collagen promotes firmer, flexible skin. The injection of serum into the skin also produces brighter, hydrated skin.

Other potential benefits of hydrafacial include:

• Removes  blackheads
• Elimination of rosacea

Apart from hydrafacial being a non-invasive skin care procedure, it is also popular since it comes with minimal side effects, and thus it does not require time for healing. It is crucial, though, that after the treatment, you let your skin rest for the rest of the day. Remember that if you have reactive or susceptible skin, you may experience irritation from the injection of the serum.
