Get to Know About Hydrafacial, Painless Facial Skin Care

Many beauty clinics already offer several beauty facial skin care procedures, one of which is hydrafacial. This procedure is the latest beauty technology with the advantage of the hydra dermabrasion technique, which combines the processes of cleansing, exfoliating, removing dead skin cells, and removing blackheads on the face.

What are hydrafacials?

Hydrafacial is a facial skin care technique. This technique is also known as hydradermabrasion because there is an exfoliation process similar to microdermabrasion.

Hydrafacial tools have many benefits for facial skin, namely cleaning dead skin cells, helping exfoliate, and nourishing the skin so that the tool functions to support facial skin health.

Unlike other facial skin treatments, hydrafacial will not cause pain or redness on the skin. This technique will also provide consistent results and can be done by all skin types.

Procedure to perform hydrafacial

This facial skin treatment takes about 30 minutes. Here are some steps when doing a hydrafacial:

1. Cleansing and exfoliating

The first step is to exfoliate the skin and apply the serum. Special tools are used to clean and exfoliate the skin, making the process painless. This stage is carried out to help remove dead skin cells and excess oil in facial skin pores.

2. Chemical peeling

Chemical peeling will be carried out using the tip of the tool used for the peeling process. In general, chemical peels that are commonly used can irritate the skin, but not chemical peels in hydrafacial procedures because the process uses a mixture of salicylic and glycolic acids, which will not irritate facial skin and has proven to be very effective. The main goal of this step is to open the pores from within.

3. Extractions

The tool used at this step is a special vacuum that is strong enough but will not cause pain. This step is done to remove blackheads and dirt from inside the pores.

4. Hydrating serum

Serum application is the final step of the hydrafacial. The serum that will be applied to the face is a serum that contains antioxidants and moisturizers with peptides, as well as other nutrients, which of course, have good functions for facial skin. This stage can help detoxify, treat skin rejuvenation, and maintain skin hydration.

The benefits of hydrafacials

1. Treating acne 

Hydrafacial can help treat acne-prone skin. However, until now, no scientific research has proven it.

Because the hydrafacial technique has an exfoliation or peeling process that can remove dead skin cells similar to the microdermabrasion technique, which has proven effective in treating acne and acne scars, likely, hydrafacial can treat acne-prone skin as well.

2. Treating blackheads

Dead skin cells that accumulate on the face are the main things that can cause blackheads. The exfoliation process in the hydrafacial technique is considered to be able to overcome blackheads. Even though it sounds very good, proving the benefits of this one hydrafacial still requires clinical trials.

3. Prevent signs of aging

Several studies have proven through tests on women who have done hydrafacials that the results of these women have decreased signs of aging on the skin. These results are compared to women who only rely on serum.

Hydrafacial can provide benefits such as smaller pores, reduced hyperpigmentation, and fine lines.

Hydrafacial is different from regular facials. Many women in Indonesia do facials regularly. However, this technique often causes discomfort because it causes pain during the blackhead cleaning process. Therefore, you can use hydrafacial as a solution to replace facials, which is a safer process and won't cause pain.
