HydraFacial

What exactly is a HydraFacial? Actually, a better question would be, WHY a HydraFacial?

Answer: 3 steps to the BEST skin of your life!!

 Simply put, HydraFacial is MULTIPLE treatments in ONE.  Doesn’t that already sound AMAZING!

I like to explain HydraFacial like this: “HydraFacial is technology enabled skincare that uses patented vortex fusion to deeply deliver active super serums in every step of the treatment.” 

I’m going to break down these “steps” for you here:

 

The Steps

CLEANSE + PEEL

Uncover a new layer of skin with gentle exfoliation and relaxing resurfacing.

EXTRACT + HYDRATE

Remove debris from pores with painless suction. Nourish with intense moisturizers that quench skin.

FUSE + PROTECT

Saturate the skin’s surface with antioxidants and peptides to maximize your glow.

 Sounds good so far? So how do you know if a HydraFacial is for you?

HydraFacial addresses all skincare needs:

• Brown Spots

• Congested + Oily Skin

• Enlarged Pores

• Fine lines + wrinkles

• Elasticity + firmness

• Even tone + vibrancy

• Skin Texture

You will come out of the treatment room with the famous HydraFacial GLOW.  Congested pores will be a thing of the past (evidence in the waste container). AND most importantly, your skin will be healthier and properly hydrated.

Like any other treatment at Kéatique Skin Studio, there are multiple ways to customize the HydraFacial protocol.  Here are some of those options:

●      Lymphatic drainage

●      LED (blue, red, violet)

●      Dermaplane add-on

●      Gua Sha

●      CBD

●      Oxygen Infusion

●      Variety of corrective serums or “boosters” (see below for details)

●      3 degrees of exfoliating tips

●      3 peel strengths

While we all know, it takes time and patience to solve our skincare concerns, HydraFacial delivers instant results for those of us that crave a little instant gratification.

BOOSTER BAR

The secret to ultimate personalization are the corrective serums or “boosters”.  Kéatique Skin Studio carries every booster that is available for all channels (non-medical).  Boosters are packed with concentrated active ingredients formulated by the best skincare lines in the industry.  These brands have collaborated with Hydrafacial to help deliver the best formulas in the most effective way, by using Hydrafacial technology.

 

LED (LIGHTSTIM)

The new Hydrafacial machine uses Lightstim’s newest LED panel, the Elipsa.  The new design allows ultra-close proximity to the skin to help reduce wrinkles, treat acne, and inflammation all at once!  *Disclaimer: it is VERY VERY bright, but I promise it’s worth it.

Light Stim is an industry leading provider of LED light therapy.  Light’s Stim’s LED therapy delivers light energy in a similar way plants absorb photons of light produced by the sun.  Studies have shown that LED can stimulate the body’s cells to activate the body’s natural ability to heal, rejuvenate, and function at an optimal level.

Light Stim LED light therapy address 3 main concerns: anti-aging, acne, and pain.  The unique feature of their newest product, the Elipsa, is that it can treat both acne and wrinkles with one device.  Combining LED with a Hydrafacial will enhance your results and get you closer to reaching your skin care goals.  Every Hydrafacial at the Skin Studio includes time under the LED so you are getting the maximum benefits of the Hydrafacial treatment at every visit. 

 

LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE

Lymphatic drainage massage can be added to any facial but it especially is effective during a Hydrafacial treatment.

 

Let’s do a quick run down of some of the benefits of starting a treatment with lymphatic drainage:

 

  1. Improves tissue nutrition

  2. Sculps and contours the face (aka a non-invasive facelift)

  3. Manually eliminates lymph fluid containing cellular waste products, dead cells, bacteria, viruses, fats and proteins.

  4. Reduces puffiness and inflammation

  5. Increases circulation resulting in a healthy glow to the face

  6. Enhances whatever facial treatment that follows

 

Starting any treatment with lymphatic drainage helps set the tone of the entire facial.  While Hydrafacial can be referenced as a clinical treatment, adding the lymphatic drainage provides a relaxing aspect that can help soothe and calm stressed skin.

 

HYDRAFACIAL TAKE-HOME GUIDE

HydraFacial™ is the only hydradermabrasion procedure that combines cleansing, extraction and hydration simultaneously, resulting in clearer, more beautiful skin with little-to-no downtime. The treatment is soothing, moisturizing, non-invasive and generally non-irritating. As with most procedures, visible results from HydraFacial will vary from person to person.

 

What to Expect During and Immediately After Treatment

Your skin may experience temporary irritation, tightness, or redness. These are all normal reactions that typically resolve within 72 hours depending on skin sensitivity. You may experience tingling and stinging during the treatment area. These sensations generally subside within three hours of treatment. Client experiences may vary. Some people may experience a delayed onset of the previously mentioned symptoms. Contact us immediately if any unusual side effects occur or if symptoms worsen over time.

 

Next Steps

You will likely see results immediately after treatment and your skin will feel smooth and hydrated for one to four weeks. For improved, longer lasting results, consider take-home products and monthly HydraFacial treatments. The treatment area is more susceptible to sunburn, sun damage and hyperpigmentation. Avoid direct sun exposure and use a minimum of SPF 40 sunscreen. Aggressive exfoliation, waxing and products containing acids should be avoided in the treatment area for a minimum of two weeks pre- and post-treatment. Avoid the use of Retin-A type products pre- and post-treatment.
