Keep reading for a closer look at how HydraFacials work to fight acne, acne scarring, and other skin concerns.

What is a HydraFacial?

The HydraFacial is an exciting treatment that is gentle on the skin’s surface yet provides powerful cleansing, hydrating, and brightening benefits for a healthier and more even complexion overall. One of the most compelling aspects of the HydraFacial is that each treatment is completely customized to match the patient’s skin type, concerns, and goals, making it a safe and effective facial for virtually anyone. In the majority of cases, a HydraFacial involves six primary steps, which include:

• Cleansing
• Exfoliation
• Extraction
• Hydration
• Nourishment
• Protection

After a thorough consultation and pre-treatment evaluation, one of our knowledgeable providers will recommend the most appropriate serums and other products to be used during your HydraFacial.

How does a HydraFacial help your skin?

The HydraFacial boost’s the health and vibrancy of a patient’s complexion through deep cleansing, exfoliation, nourishment, and more. Unlike chemical peels and other harsher or more invasive treatments, the HydraFacial is gentle on the skin’s surface and does not require any downtime. However, it should be noted that the HydraFacial is not considered a substitute for a chemical peel. In fact, many patients choose to combine the HydraFacial with their other skin care routines, including chemical peels, laser treatments, and others. Some of the most common concerns that can be improved with regular HydraFacial treatment are:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dull skin
• Dry or oily skin
• Rough skin texture
• Uneven skin tone
• Clogged pores
• Enlarged pores
• Acne
• Dull skin

Does a HydraFacial actually help with acne?

Thanks to its deep cleansing, exfoliation, and extraction properties, the HydraFacial is a widely popular and effective treatment for patients struggling with infrequent to chronic acne breakouts. Because the HydraFacial utilizes deeper cleansing techniques, along with powerful serums and purifying products, it is often much more effective at removing debris, bacteria, dirt, oil, and other causes of acne compared with traditional facials and at-home treatments. In addition, the HydraFacial can help to minimize the risk of hyperpigmentation and acne scarring and – in some cases – improve discoloration that has already occurred.

For the maximum benefit, patients are encouraged to incorporate monthly HydraFacials for acne into their regular skin care routine.
