The multi-step treatment includes cleansing, exfoliating, extracting, and hydrating the skin with serums that are infused into pores with the Hydra Facial tip, a pen-like device. The serums have anti-aging and antioxidant properties and are tailored to address the specific needs of the patients.

The Hydra Facial treatment starts with cleansing by removing the dead skin cells and excess sebum from the skin. Next, an ultrasonic scrubber is used to exfoliate dead cells and remove dirt and oil that is clogging the natural skin pores. Lastly, Hydra Facial tip is used to essentially vacuum out blackheads, dirt, oil, and impurities, while hydrating, plumping, and nourishing the skin. Everyone walks out Glowing Apart from deionised water which removes skin impurities through a vortex technology, specific solutions and serums, depending to the skin condition and type such as lactic acid, salicylic acid or glycerin based ones can be used with hydra facial tips for improved results.

FAQ's

What Are the Side Effects of the Hydra Facial?

One of the many reasons why the Hydra Facial is so popular is because there are minimal side effects, and essentially no downtime post-treatment. Expect a little redness immediately following the treatment, but it will quickly subside. Following the treatment, you’ll want to let your skin rest and soak up all of the benefits of the facial for rest of the day. You can wear makeup the next morning and resume your normal routine. The risks are low, but it's possible to experience irritation from the customised serums if you have a reactive skin. It’s best to let the doctor decide the serums according to your skin type & condition.

Who Should Get the Hydra Facial?

Everyone! One of the Hydra Facial’s biggest draw is that the treatment is suitable for virtually any age and skin type — save for a few exceptions. This treatment is nice for teenagers with acne, adults with pimples, wrinkles, and hyper-pigmentation, and for older patients with sun damage and even flaky pre-cancerous spots (as part of more serious treatments). Although beneficial to many skin types, those with active rashes, sunburns, or rosacea, along with pregnant patients, should abstain from this treatment.

Can I take Hydra Facial along with other skin treatments?

You can absolutely also get the Hydra Facial while getting botox, laser skin toning, fillers etc. However, this is not a replacement for these other procedures because they address different skincare needs.

How many treatments do I need to see results?

Most patients see visible skin refinement and an even, radiant skin tone after just one treatment. The smooth results and hydration may last five to seven days or even longer. But in order to get maximum results, get 3 to 4 Hydra Facial treatments, with a four to six weeks gap between sessions.
