Hydrafacial
What
Hydrafacial is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that uses a specialized machine to cleanse, extract, and hydrate the skin. It is designed to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, oily and congested skin, and other skin concerns.
How
The Hydrafacial machine works by using a patented technology that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration in one treatment. The machine uses a unique serum delivery system that infuses the skin with antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid to improve skin texture, tone, and overall health.
When
The treatment typically takes 30 to 45 minutes and involves several steps, including cleansing and exfoliating the skin, extracting impurities from the pores, and hydrating the skin with a serum. The procedure is painless and does not require any downtime, making it a popular choice for those with busy lifestyles.
