Microdermabrasion VS Hydradermabrasion

HydraFacial is a advanced microdermabrasion treatment, known as a 'wet microdermabrasion'. It's a medical-grade hydradermabrasion device that carries out a patented regime of cleansing, exfoliating, extracting, while at the same time replenishing vital nutrients including antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid.

HydraFacial goes deeper than skin deep. It reaches within and brings out your confidence through healthy, glowing skin. When you feel good and everybody can see it.

Traditional microdermabrasion treatments use an abrasive tip to resurface the skin. HydraFacial however uses a multi-stage facial treatment that incorporates dermabrasion as just one of the steps.

The non-invasive treatment is not only gentler on the skin but also vacuums out pores while simultaneously hydrating and infusing the skin with vital nutrients including Antioxidants, Peptides and Hyaluronic Acid.

The HydraFacial philosophy of Skin Health for Life is about not just improving the appearance of the skin, but truly restoring the skin to a youthful and healthy condition.

It uses advanced, patented Vortex technology to deliver botanical ingredients with the most desirable nutrients.

The six steps of HydraFacial:

1. Detox

A specially formulated lymphatic drainage technique helps to increase circulation, eliminate toxins, and enhance the effects of the next stages.

2. Cleansing & Exfoliation

The skin is deeply cleansed by lifting dead skin cells and impurities.

3. Brightening Agent

A gentle glycolic and salicylic solution helps loosen debris from your pores. This also has a brightening effect.

4. Extraction

This stage uses honey extract and salicylic acid to extract the impurities and blackheads loosened in the previous stage.

5. Hydration

A combination of hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and peptides replenish and hydrate your skin.

6. Rejuvenation

LED light is used to stimulate collagen, calm flare-ups and reduce redness, to leave glowing and smooth skin.
