Hydrafacial - Newport Beach

HydraFacial, is an advanced non-laser skin resurfacing procedure, combines the benefits of hydradermabrasion, chemical peels, automated painless extractions, and antioxidant delivery into one comprehensive skincare regimen, promising a clearer, more radiant complexion.

The first stage of the HydraFacial treatment involves a thorough skin cleansing and exfoliation. The unique HydraFacial vortex cleaning system simultaneously circulates an activated serum through a spiral-tipped wand and vacuums it back up, removing dead skin cells, oil, and dirt from the skin’s surface. The serums contain lactic acid, glucosamine, and botanical extracts, which clean and brighten the skin while preparing it for the next treatment stages.

In the second stage, a light glycolic and salicylic acid peel is applied. Unlike the standard chemical peels that can lead to skin peeling and require downtime, this mixture is mild and generally causes no discomfort or side effects. This peel gently loosens dirt and debris from the pores without irritation. The application of these alpha and beta hydroxy acids helps to break up any dirt or oil lodged in the pores, essential for individuals prone to acne or blackheads.

Once the peel has done its job, the HydraFacial device proceeds with its patented vortex extraction. The spiral tip creates a vortex effect to easily dislodge and remove blackheads, whiteheads, and sebum, replacing traditional squeezing and pressing that can damage the skin. The waste is then stored in a separate container on the machine which can be later viewed, an appealing feature for those interested in the ‘seeing is believing’ concept.

After extraction, it’s time for hydration. The fourth stage involves the infusion of a variety of nutrient-rich serums into the skin. These can be customized depending on the specific skin needs of the client. The serum generally includes hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and peptides, which hydrate, plump, and nourish the skin. The vortex fusion delivery system enhances the absorption of these ingredients, which encourages the skin’s health and resilience.

A distinct advantage of the HydraFacial is the ability to add on boosters, which can target specific skin concerns. These can range from Britenol Boost for pigmentation and sun spots, Dermabuilder Boost to address fine lines and wrinkles, or even a Growth Factor Boost that encourages skin health and vitality.

For those looking to maximize their results, the final step of the HydraFacial often incorporates LED light therapy. Two different types of light are used, depending on the client’s needs. Blue light therapy is used for acne-prone skin, as it targets and destroys P. acnes bacteria to help congested or inflamed skin. On the other hand, red light therapy has anti-aging benefits. It stimulates collagen and elastin production, reduces redness, and helps to tighten the skin.

Regardless of the specific steps and customizations, a HydraFacial treatment aims to leave the skin thoroughly cleansed, exfoliated, and hydrated, bringing forth the skin’s natural, healthy, and radiant complexion. With its ability to treat a wide array of skin concerns and types, it has quickly gained popularity across the globe.
