Imagine a facial service that’s gentle enough for sensitive skin, powerful enough to eliminate impurities from congested pores, and leaves your face deeply hydrated and nourished immediately after treatment. It may sound like a fairy tale, but we’re talking about the magic of hydrodermabrasion!

What is hydrodermabrasion?

Often marketed under brand names like Hydrafacial and Hydroderm, hydrodermabrasion facials offer facial rejuvenation without harsh side effects. Here’s a closer look:

How does hydrodermabrasion work?

Hydrodermabrasion treatments use a specialized device that exfoliates, hydrates, and nourishes skin using a high-pressure stream and gentle suction. The mild suction helps to eliminate dead skin cells while at the same time infusing nourishing serums into the skin.

These serums contain soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, and other antioxidant-rich solutions. Finally, the device extracts impurities from deep within your pores while encouraging healthy blood flow.

What does a hydrodermabrasion facial treat?

You can incorporate hydrodermabrasion into your skincare routine to combat many aesthetic concerns and signs of aging, including:

Dull, dry, dehydrated skin
Uneven skin tone and texture
Mild acne and acne scars
Congested pores
Fine lines and minor wrinkles
Sun damage, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation

How does hydrodermabrasion differ from microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is an intense form of exfoliation that uses a diamond-tipped device to shave off the outer layers of skin. This procedure is often too harsh for people with sensitive skin, and may cause redness and dehydration. On the other hand, hydrodermabrasion is safe for most skin types and uses nutrient infusion to nourish and hydrate the skin while simultaneously exfoliating.

What are the benefits of hydrodermabrasion?

Hydrodermabrasion offers plenty of advantages over other exfoliation techniques. Here are a few perks to look forward to:

Gentle and non-invasive

Unlike alternative exfoliation methods that use abrasive diamond tips, hydrodermabrasion is exceptionally gentle, making it safe for clients with sensitive skin. Plus, there’s zero downtime. In fact, you’ll see the results right away!

Exfoliates and hydrates skin

Hydrodermabrasion delivers a unique one-two punch against signs of aging. It effectively exfoliates dead skin cells while deeply hydrating your face for the ultimate skin-safe facial rejuvenation treatment. This method can also help encourage better absorption of nourishing products and serums.

Improves skin tone and texture

If you’re suffering from a dull, uneven skin tone, hydrodermabrasion can gently resurface the skin, helping you reveal a glowing complexion.

Stimulates collagen production

When you combine exfoliation and enhanced circulation, your body will naturally respond by boosting collagen production. This essential connective tissue is responsible for that plump, youthful appearance we all crave. It supports long-term skin elasticity and works to minimize fine lines and wrinkles.

Helps clear acne

A customized hydrodermabrasion facial can incorporate antibacterial and anti-inflammatory serums to cleanse your pores and eliminate acne-causing bacteria. It can also help reduce excess oil and dead skin that may intensify your breakouts.

Before your treatment

How you care for your skin in the days and weeks leading up to your appointment will impact your overall results. Here are some tips to help you prep:

Drink plenty of water.
Avoid sun exposure.
Stop using harsh exfoliants 3 to 5 days before treatment.
Skip Botox and dermal fillers in the weeks before your hydrodermabrasion session.

During your treatment

Hydrodermabrasion facials are relaxing and non-invasive. Your professional esthetician will use the dedicated wand device to cleanse your skin, exfoliate, extract impurities, and infuse the area with nourishing serums catered to your unique skin and treatment goals.

Many providers also offer a soothing facial massage, cooling mask, or supplemental moisturizer to round out the session. Be sure to ask about various add-ons to enhance your experience.

After your treatment

One of the greatest benefits of hydrodermabrasion is that most people see noticeable results right away! You should experience an instant glow, with skin that looks plump, smooth, and drastically more hydrated.

Following your treatment, avoid harsh topical products for at least 48 hours, protect your skin from sun exposure, and drink plenty of water to help maintain your results. Since this procedure is so gentle on the skin, it’s safe to receive hydrodermabrasion every three to six weeks. Your skincare specialist can help you create a treatment plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
