What Makes HydraFacial So Effective?

April 15, 2022 by A Younger You

HydraFacials are currently the most popular in-office facial treatment globally, with millions of HydraFacial procedures performed each year. With everyone from your favorite celebrity to your coworkers experiencing the benefits of HydraFacial, it’s natural that you may want to know more about what this unique facial has to offer.

A Younger You Medical Spa in Burlington and Brookfield wants you to rediscover your natural beauty. We invest in the latest and most advanced skin rejuvenation procedures to ensure you have the best options to restore your skin, regardless of your concerns.

HydraFacials reform your skin beautifully in just one procedure. So it’s easy to see why fans keep coming back for more. Whether your skin shows signs of aging, suffers from acne, or experiences any other issue, HydraFacials provide a solution for your skincare needs.

What Is a HydraFacial?

A HydraFacial is one of the most potent non-invasive skin treatments available. The procedure rejuvenates the skin by using a patented technology to clean, extract, and hydrate your skin in as little as 30 minutes.

The HydraFacial procedure uses the brand’s unique Vortex-Fusion system to deeply cleanse the skin while simultaneously infusing healthy serums and moisturizers, revealing a refreshing, younger look.

Most HydraFacial benefits result from the procedure’s multi-step process that addresses several skin concerns at once.

First, our skilled aestheticians use the wand attached to the HydraFacial machine to create a swirling “vortex” effect. This effect pulls impurities upward while pushing serums into the skin simultaneously.

The results are impressive. Since HydraFacial is both gentle and effective, patients can immediately expect noticeable skin tone and texture improvements.

How Is HydraFacial So Effective?

HydraFacial’s effectiveness lies in its combination of unique technology and powerful ingredients. The treatment uses a variety of acids to achieve results, including glycolic, beta, lactic, salicylic, and hyaluronic.

While this combination may sound more like a chemical peel than a restoring facial, these acids mix into a series of serums, which, through the multi-step process, serve specific functions in restoring the skin.

What Is the HydraFacial’s Multi-Step Process?

Each step of the HydraFacial process builds on the last, resulting in impressive results for all skin types.

Step 1: Cleansing Through Vortex Exfoliation

Step one serves as skin detoxification through exfoliation. Skin naturally sheds dead cells to make way for new ones every few weeks. However, that process doesn’t consistently slough off cells completely, resulting in dull skin, clogged pores, and dry, flaky patches.

In HydraFacial’s first step, the wand clears deeply embedded dirt and oil from the pores using the Activ-4™ Serum, which contains algae extract and lactic acid.

The serum’s lactic acid increases cell turnover and eliminates the buildup of dead skin cells on the top layer of skin. The algae extract works in conjunction with the lactic acid and is full of antioxidants, vitamin B, magnesium, zinc, and detoxifying minerals that help clean out buildup in pores. This combination thoroughly cleans the skin.

Step 2: Debris Loosening Through Vortex-Peel

Step two of the HydraFacial provides exfoliation and debris loosening from deep inside skin cells. Using the Glysal™ serum, a mix of glycolic and salicylic acid, the skin is hydrated and the pores are permeated, loosening debris for easy removal.

Glysal serum’s glycolic acid breaks the bonds between the skin’s outer layer of cells and the subsequent skin layer. It also helps the outer skin barrier retain moisture. The serum’s other main ingredient, salicylic acid, reduces swelling and redness and unplugs blocked skin pores.

Step 3: Pore Cleansing Through Vortex Extraction

Extracting clogged pores is often one of the most exciting and painful parts of any facial. However, the excitement over your potentially clearer skin may outweigh any potential pain. Unfortunately, poorly performed extractions result in long-lasting redness, breakouts, and scarring.

Fortunately, HydraFacial’s Vortex Extraction process doesn’t irritate the skin. Instead, the wand acts as a vacuum, sucking the dirt and debris loosened in step two from your pores while infusing your skin with the Beta-HD™ serum. The Vortex Extraction means no pinching, pushing, or remaining remnants in your pores.

The Beta-HD serum uses honey extract to hydrate and condition the skin. Salicylic acid and willow bark extract exfoliate the skin. Lastly, Tasmanian pepper and spiraea ulmaria flower extracts calm, soothe and protect the skin.

Step 4: Vortex Fusion

The final HydraFacial step takes advantage of the previous steps to reap the most significant benefits for your skin. First, our expert aesthetician saturates the skin with Antiox+™, nourishing and protecting it with antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid in the Vortex Fusion.

At this point in the procedure, the skin is ready to absorb all of the benefits of the serum. The skin is naturally detoxified, and the antioxidants found in the serum’s vitamins A and E, white tea extract, and rosemary leaf extract protect the skin from environmental free radicals. In addition, the serum’s hyaluronic acid deeply moisturizes.

What Are the HydraFacial Benefits?

HydraFacial is gentle enough for most skin types, and it works to treat most common skin concerns, including:

Blemishes
Pores clogged with blackheads and whiteheads
Uneven skin tones
Hyperpigmentation
Oily skin
Dry skin
Fine lines and wrinkles
Skin laxity
Enlarged pores

HydraFacial benefits include the ability to customize the treatment for your skin concerns. For example, we can adjust the serum levels to suit your skin’s needs. In addition, the HydraFacial procedure requires no downtime. It just offers smoother, clearer, and younger-looking skin.

Am I a Candidate for HydraFacial?

All skin types can experience HydraFacial benefits. Anyone looking for skin rejuvenation can expect to enjoy results from a HydraFacial.

HydraFacials treat many skin concerns at once, so patients who previously combined monthly facials with chemical peels or microdermabrasion treatments now see similar results in one 30-minute HydraFacial.

A Younger You Medical Spa’s skilled aesthetic team wants you to see how fresh, smooth and soft your skin can be. Call or schedule an online appointment to learn more about HydraFacial treatments to rejuvenate your skin.

Soften Your Skin with a HydraFacial

August 5, 2019 by A Younger You

If you’re battling the effects of facial skin aging, you certainly aren’t alone. The effects of sun exposure, pollutants, stress, and hormonal changes slowly but surely work to negatively change your appearance. Fine wrinkles, more prominent blemishes and scarring, and brittle skin texture are just a few of the outward signs. You want to enjoy the soft, smooth skin texture you remember from your youth, but daily cleansing and moisturizing just aren’t doing the trick. We have good news for you. We offer the amazing HydraFacial® treatment, a multi-step procedure that really does turn back the aging clock on aging skin.

This treatment is different than other skin rejuvenating procedures in that it addresses multiple concerns. Not only does it promote healthy, youthful skin that’s soft and supple, but the HydraFacial® also smooths the skin surface and fades away smile lines and wrinkles. It also accelerates the production of collagen and other proteins, and best of all, it evenly blends the skin tone. The result is skin that breathes normally, incorporates available nutrients for healthy cell replacement, and exudes a radiant glow.

Softer, Smoother Skin

This treatment uses water infused with nutrients to promote healthy skin cell development. Brittle skin that feels harsh to the touch needs treatment involving extraction of dirt and grime so that the pores are open once more. The water itself acts as a moisturizer, and once the skin pores are open, the moisture balance is achieved quite rapidly.

Better Skin Tone

As we age, the skin can appear blotchy in tone, and regional pigmentation issues become more noticeable. Dull patches become more prominent as well. This is due primarily to sun exposure and changes in chemical balance. Also, our skin doesn’t heal itself as fast as it did when we were younger.

The HydraFacial® treatment addresses this problem by combining an extraction and nutrient infusion procedure. Even before dirt and oils are extracted, the skin has already been subjected to an exfoliation. A special peel can also be performed prior to nutrient infusion. This stimulates rapid cell creation, and after just weeks, the skin tone tends to be much more even.

Fewer Blemishes

Age spots, freckles, injury and acne scars, and other skin issues become more and more prominent as we age. Damaged cells or tissues with too much pigment cannot be treated simply by cleansing and moisturizing. These cells continue to replicate themselves via division over and over again, and there’s no improvement in tone. What’s really needed is a means to get rid of these tissues by stimulating immediate skin cell creation. With the proper nutrients involved, these spots can be faded away.

Customizing the Treatment

Everyone has specific concerns about the appearance of their facial skin. Teens worry about acne, young adults are concerned about freckles and injury scar blemishes, and mature adults are worried about the ever-growing number of marionette lines and other wrinkles near their mouth and eyes. Of course, the primary benefit of the HydraFacial® treatment is smoother, healthier skin, but every one of these specific concerns can be addressed as well.

We have different nutrient mixes that can be used to target these specific problems. These contain a combination of peptides, antioxidants including Vitamin C and Vitamin E, and proteins. We can alter the treatment to target regions of the face where brightening of the skin tone is needed. We can also infuse a special combination of nutrients in areas where wrinkling is prominent.

Maintaining Soft Skin

Of course, you’ll still want to take care of your skin on a daily basis. The HydraFacial® is a real kickstart for skin rejuvenation, but we also know that you’ll be more than just a bit excited to get a new skin care regimen underway. We’ll advise you on how to maintain your soft, supple facial skin in the months following the treatment.

Many of our clients choose to have the traditional treatment performed and then follow this up with a maintenance treatment as needed. We can suggest certain nutrient infusion steps that will help to maintain an even skin tone and better skin texture. You may very well find that the entire procedure need only be performed about once per year, with localized extraction and nutrient infusion treatments in the months afterward. However, it all depends on the unique case.

Enjoy Youthful-Looking Skin Once More

There’s no other treatment like the HydraFacial®. It addresses multiple skin problems at once, and there are no unwanted side effects that often plague individuals who choose more invasive treatments. Learn more about what the HydraFacial® can do for you by scheduling a consultation at A Younger You Medical Spa, located in Burlington and Brookfield. You’re on your way to healthier, more attractive skin. Contact us today to book your appointment and get started. We look forward to speaking with you!

Facial Rejuvenation With Hydrafacial

July 16, 2018 by A Younger You

Facial rejuvenation is all about stimulating healthy tissue growth and ensuring proper moisture content. Many of the facial skin treatments address only one specific concern, but the Hydrafacial procedure covers all the bases. This treatment exfoliates, removes damaged surface skin, opens up clogged pores, and infuses nutrients directly into the dermal layers.

Hydrated Skin Is Healthy Skin

Our skin contains hyaluronic acid, a sugar substance that helps keep moisture in place. As we age, we don’t produce as much of it as we did when we were younger. It’s, therefore, necessary to give the skin a hydration boost. At the same time, this loss of moisture results in brittle, dull-appearing skin. The Hydrafacial skin rejuvenation procedure addresses both of these problems with a single treatment.

Clogged pores result in a reduced ability for the skin to breathe properly. This also upsets the moisture balance in the dermal layers. The Hydrafacial treatment includes a step that opens up these pores and removes excess oil and foreign particles.

Multi-Step Procedure

We explain the entire Hydrafacial treatment during a consultation with the client. The treatment takes only about an hour or so to complete. The first step is exfoliation. We use a rotary brush tool to gently scour the skin surface. This lifts away damaged skin cells and foreign matter.

Next, we apply a mild acid solution to the skin. This is a chemical peel step, but unlike traditional peel treatments, this one takes only about 10 minutes to work its magic.

After washing the face, we use a suction tool to extract material from the skin pores. The final step in the treatment is the infusion of a special serum that contains antioxidants and peptides. Even before leaving our office, the client notices an improvement in the overall texture and tone of the facial skin.

After Treatment

In the days that follow, the skin will continue to improve in terms of texture and tone.

The peel step results in an acceleration of new epidermal growth, and this helps to reduce the appearance of injury scars, age spots, freckles, and other blemishes. The increase in moisture retention means skin that is more taut and supple.

Complete Skin Rejuvenation

This is a popular treatment because it’s performed in-house, and there’s no downtime for the client. The treatment can be adjusted to account for the individual’s skin tone and texture, making it a suitable procedure for most anyone plagued by age-related skin problems.
