HydraFacial: The Treatment You’re Going to Want To Schedule!
At Roman Esthetics, it’s no secret that we’re all about sourcing the latest high-performance skincare tools and technology for our clientele. One trending treatment that has been getting rave reviews in recent years is the HydraFacial, and with good reason. The HydraFacial has quickly developed a reputation for being one the most highly effective, yet non-invasive, services available in the med spa industry.
So naturally, we decided to bring it into our practice so that our clients could experience this amazing facial modality for themselves. If you’ve been curious about this new offering and wondering if it’s right for you, here is everything you need to know:
HydraFacial 101: How it Works
In many ways, the HydraFacial has all the things you love about a traditional facial, but takes them to the next level with innovative new technology. Using a special clinical treatment device to deeply cleanse, extract, and hydrate the skin, this patented protocol is incredibly effective for addressing a number of common skin care concerns.
Although each facial at our spa is customized according to your unique needs and may vary slightly, here is what a typical HydraFacial treatment includes:
Step One: Cleansing + Peeling - For a good cleanse and mild exfoliation, the resurfacing step of the HydraFacial uses vortex fusion technology to flush out impurities from deep within the pores as well as polish away dry, dull, or dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. The results are similar to that of a dermabrasion or chemical peel - leaving it feeling soft and silky smooth - but without any of the discomfort or downtime.
Step Two: Extractions + Hydration - Another very unique feature of the HydraFacial treatment is that it eliminates the pain and irritation typically caused by aggressive extractions, using gentle suction to effortlessly extract any congestion or buildup of dirt and debris. Additionally, while this step is being performed, the skin is simultaneously treated to replenishment in the form of hydrating serums, delivered directly into the skin.
Step Three: Infusion + Protection - Because the first two steps work to perfect prep the skin for a boost of nourishment and active ingredients, the third step of HydraFacial includes the infusion of a custom serum cocktail. At the discretion of your esthetician, you will receive a targeted elixir of antioxidants, peptides, and other skin supporting agents.
HydraFacial Service
Who is the HydraFacial ideal for?
Just about anyone can enjoy and benefit from a HydraFacial! Because it provides a multifaceted approach to traditional skincare, it is able to treat numerous skin conditions and concerns. It is great for aging concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, loss of elasticity and firmness, dullness or dark spots. It’s amazing for acne, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, texture issues and more. It also makes a great red-carpet-ready option if you want to look your best for an event, due to its ability to get the skin glowing.
HydraFacial vs. Microdermabrasion: Key similarities and differences between treatments
A common question that many clients have is how the HydraFacial is different from other exfoliation procedures like microdermabrasion. While the two are similar in terms of working to manually resurface the skin, the HydraFacial is able to go above and beyond the benefits of microdermabrasion in that it is an overall more comprehensive modality. By eliminating the need for invasive extractions and adding the infusion of vital hydration and nutrients, HydraFacial is able to do much more than just exfoliate and, in turn, creates even better results.
It’s also worth noting that whereas some microdermabrasion treatments can be classified as minimally-invasive, HydraFacial is considered completely non-invasive, meaning it offers a less aggressive approach for most skin types, without sacrificing any results.
The Perks: Four reasons to love the HydraFacial
Reason #1: HydraFacial produces both instant and long-term results
As soon as you step out of the treatment room you will love the way HydraFacial leaves your skin feeling refreshed and looking luminous. However, the real magic happens after your skin begins to regenerate. Because this treatment helps with promoting collagen synthesis and cellular renewal, it will produce even more cumulative benefits over time, and with consistent treatment.
Reason #2: HydraFacial pairs perfectly with other popular treatments
As your skincare experts, the team at Roman Esthetics, works to curate every appointment around your specific skin goals, and the HydraFacial is perfect for that. It can be easily combined with our other popular services like dermaplaning, so you don’t have to choose between your favorite services and can look forward to even better results.
Reason #3: HydraFacial is as relaxing as it is effective
Another thing many people want to know is whether or not the HydraFacial is as relaxing as a traditional facial. And the answer is yes! Most clients find that the special Vortex-Fusion tool feels like a relaxing and rejuvenating massage for the entire face. At Roman Esthetics, our mission is to create treatments that combine medical grade skincare with spa style pampering, so that all you have to do is rest and enjoy a much needed self care moment.
Reason #4: HydraFacial is suitable for just about everyone
All skin types can benefit from deep cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and nourishment, and the HydraFacial provides all of these things in one multitasking facial. Because of this, it is a great choice for just about everyone, including those with sensitive skin or anyone new to professional skincare. It can even be tailored to be pregnancy safe, if you are looking to experience HydraFacial while expecting.
Other Important Things to Know
One more extra perk of the HydraFacial is that the effects can last a bit longer than those of a regular facial or microdermabrasion. However, for getting optimal results, consistency is still key. We recommend booking your visits about four to six weeks apart and following the advice of your skincare professional for at-home aftercare that will help you get the most out of every treatment.
