For the few remaining humans unfamiliar with HydraFacial, we break down exactly what this in-office treatment does, who can benefit, and why you should work with a dermatologist at Compassion to get your next Hydrafacial treatment.
HydraFacial is an award-winning deep cleansing experience that detoxes skin and rejuvenates it with active botanical ingredients. Nutrients such as hyaluronic acid, zinc peptides, magnesium peptides, red algae extract, and horse chestnut seed extract are delivered to the skin, boosted by powerful antioxidants to counteract skin damage caused by sun exposure, stress, pollution, and more.
Dermatologists have long understood the benefits of including magnesium peptides in skincare regimens. “Magnesium helps improve your skin’s overall appearance, reducing acne and other skin disorders by lowering cortisol levels, stabilizing hormonal imbalances, and improving cellular processes,” said Dendy Engelman, a New York City dermatologist. Similarly, the benefits of red algae extract are well known, as it’s full of natural vitamins and minerals, lipids, and proteins that your skin can quickly absorb.
As for the HydraFacial machine itself, which is used to cleanse, exfoliate, and infuse serums, it’s a medical-grade hydradermabrasion device that’s designed to simultaneously dislodge and remove impurities while delivering its hydrating skin formula. It does this through its patented spiral design HydroPeel tips. The procedure balances finely between your typical spa treatment and dermatologist-supplied laser treatments.
Reason #1: It’s compatible with other cosmetic procedures.
Sometimes, if you’ve managed to hit pause on your busy lifestyle long enough to get yourself to a professional, you’ll want to combine the treatment with other procedures. Thankfully, it’s possible to undergo a Hydrafacial session on the same day as you get injectable fillers such as Botox, non-ablative laser treatments like V-Beam, and even intense pulsed light procedures used to treat sun damage. You can also request a Hydrafacial treatment as a post-Fraxel treatment to encourage the speedup of the shedding process that skin resurfacing devices naturally induce.
Reason #2: It’s suitable for all skin types.
Whatever your reason for looking into a facial treatment, whether you’re concerned about the spread of acne or just looking to help maintain healthy skin, the Hydrafacial treatment offers a simple solution. Its 3-step process cleanses and peels, extracts and hydrates, then infuses and protects your skin, regardless of skin type. With a Hydrafacial device, your friendly Compassion dermatologist in Southlake, TX, can treat:
- Dull skin that looks tired and needs radiance
- Dry skin that requires hydration to feel its best
- Mild acne that needs diminishing to create skin that you’re comfortable with
- Pigmentation that needs reducing to provide an even skin tone
For all skin types, including sensitive skin, the procedure is known to be soothing, non-irritating, and only mildly abrasive.
Reason #3: Instant, visible results.
Some skin procedures may leave you waiting impatiently for your desired results, particularly if you choose a treatment that requires multiple in-office sessions. Hydrafacial treatments are not one of these procedures. As the device has mild dermabrasion properties, you’ll see glowing, refreshed skin shortly after your treatment is over. The whole process isn’t too time-intensive, either. We simply uncover a new layer of skin through gentle exfoliation and relaxing resurfacing process, painlessly remove dead skin and debris from pores, nourish with a thirst-quenching antioxidant moisturizer, and then you’re ready to go.
There’s no downtime after a Hydrafacial treatment. Your facial can take as little as 30 minutes, and you can resume normal activities, including putting on makeup directly after the procedure.
Reason #4: We can target unique skin concerns with boosters.
With a Hydrafacial treatment, you can target the elasticity and firmness of your skin, fine lines, wrinkles, skin tone, texture, vibrancy, enlarged pores, oily congestion, brown spots, and more. If your ‘problem area” isn’t seeing the desired results from the traditional 3-step Hydrafacial treatment that utilizes its vortex technology to both remove impurities and add nourishment, your dermatologist at Compassion will discuss with you additional measures that you can take.
We can offer a complete skin evaluation to complement your facial treatment, which will evaluate any moles, growths, pigment changes, and inflammation, to identify any medical, cosmetic, or aesthetic concerns that you have about your skin. We’ll formulate a treatment plan that will both enhance your appearance and improve your skin’s health.
Reason #5: Compassion Dermatology’s monthly Hydrafacial membership program
If you’re sold on the Hydrafacial experience and would like to take advantage of regular, non-invasive facial treatments, we offer a monthly Hydrafacial membership program that gives you access to special discounted rates. You can choose the frequency of Hydrafacial treatments with your dermatologist, and with our discounted rates can book a recurring monthly procedure at a lower cost than booking sessions individually.
Many customers report seeing an improvement in skin tone and refinement after the first treatment, with the results lasting up to 7 days, or longer in some cases. However, to get the most out of Hydrafacial skin therapy, it’s recommended to undergo one treatment per month. A monthly treatment plan will gradually improve the appearance of wrinkles, brown spots, skin tone, and refinement, and provide a healthy maintenance routine.
Compassion Dermatology offers a vast range of expert cosmetic, surgical, and medical services to improve and maintain skin, hair, and nail health. Your dermatologist at Compassion will be up-to-date on the latest skin care research, and well-versed in the use of the Hydrafacial hydradermabrasion device to give you and your skin the best experience possible. The clinic promises to treat every patient with care, respect, and kindness.
We’re happy to educate patients about any diagnosis we make, and we offer a range of innovative treatment options to improve your skin’s health. You can discuss more of the benefits of Hydrafacial with a dermatologist at any time.
