Many in Sherman, TX value having healthy and attractive skin. When a person has healthy skin, they feel great on the inside and out. Healthy skin makes you more attractive to others, which usually has a positive impact in other areas of your life. If you regularly have facials performed in order to maintain a healthy and youthful appearance, you may benefit from learning about the HydraFacial.

One of the biggest misconceptions about this treatment is that it is just a simple facial. They have the idea that they can get the same results from this treatment using at home skincare products or even having a professional facial performed in a dermatologist’s office or at a salon or spa. This treatment is science-based. It will provide long-lasting results that will make your skin glow and bring it to an optimal level of health. We invite you to learn about the six steps that are involved in having this treatment performed and how the treatment can benefit you.

How the HydraFacial is Performed

This treatment involves using a special machine that has a variety of attachments that are used for different purposes. Before the treatment actually begins, we will get you situated in a comfortable chair where one of our skin care professionals will be able to have full access to your facial skin. There is absolutely no need to feel nervous about the treatment. Most individuals absolutely love having it performed. In addition to the fact that they know they are doing something good for their skin, the treatment is relaxing. You can just sit back, close your eyes, and enjoy a bit of pampering.

The first step of the process is to detox your skin. This is going to increase the lymphatic circulation in your facial skin. This will improve blood flow and invigorate your skin because of the extra oxygen that your skin cells will receive. As the lymphatic system is kicked into higher gear, toxins will be moved out of the skin. This is going to leave you with a healthy skin tone and firmness that you may not have experienced for a long time. Part of the reason why this treatment is so effective is because it does more than just treat that outside of the skin. It will improve the health of the skin by increasing blood flow and getting everything under the skin moving.

The second step is to cleanse and exfoliate your skin. A special abrasion tip is used during this part of the treatment. The goal is to gently remove dead skin cells with this special tip. All of these dead skin cells and anything else that was on the surface of your skin will be vacuumed away. At the same time, special serums will be infused into your skin in order to revitalize it. The serum that is used will be based on your specific needs and concerns. The goal is to support your skin by infusing it with botanical extracts, antioxidants, lactic acid, and other ingredients. During our initial consultation with you, we will ask about your specific concerns and determine the type of skin that you have. The entire treatment, including this part of the process, is customized to meet your specific needs.

Exfoliation is an extremely important part of any facial. It is actually something that should be performed on a regular basis as part of an at home skincare routine. Of course, the product that is used to exfoliate your skin at home needs to be gentle. You do not want to damage your skin by using something that is too abrasive or jagged. Exfoliating the skin on a regular basis is beneficial for individuals of all ages. Individuals in their younger years experience the benefit of unclogging their pores as the skin is exfoliated, which can help individuals dealing with acne. Older individuals have the benefit of removing dead skin cells that are making the appearance of their skin look rough and dry. Exfoliation treatments kick the skin into a higher gear when it comes to generating new skin cells. As you get older, your skin does not produce the same amount of new skin cells, so you really speed up the process, which will show in the appearance of your skin.

The third step of the HydraFacial is applying a brightening agent. Your pores will have been cleansed during the cleaning and exfoliation process. Since they are now clean, different solutions can be applied to the skin in order to break up any other congestion that you have in your pores. In most cases, glycolic and salicylic acids are used during this point in the process. Of course, you do not need to worry about the safety of this treatment. It is extremely gentle. If you have special concerns about using these acids, make sure to mention them before the treatment begins. As we mentioned, treatments can be customized. We can either skip this step or apply something else to continue to break up congestion in the pores.

The next step is extracting the pores. This is something that is done gently. During this step, salicylic acid and glycolic acid will be used in order to draw out impurities that are found in the pores, including blackheads. We want your skin to be as clean as possible during the treatment. This is going to prevent acne breakouts, tighten the skin, and provide a wide variety of other benefits. The amazing thing is that you will actually be able to see all of the gunk that has been removed from your pores. It is suctioned into a small collection cup that you can look at after the treatment if you wish to do so.

After all of these steps, you are only left with fresh and clean skin. It is at this point that we can treat the skin and moisturize it. The fifth step is hydrating the skin. A potent mix of hyaluronic acid, peptides, and antioxidants will be infused into the skin in order to support the collagen in it. The goal is to leave your skin looking full and soft because of the hydration. Younger individuals benefit from this step. However, older individuals are going to feel especially refreshed after this step because of the way that it can diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The last step is using an infrared and red LED light in order to rejuvenate the skin. This will reduce redness, soothe your skin, and encourage the growth of collagen in the skin. The light will even help your skin to produce vitamin D.

If you have specific issues that you would like to have addressed during treatment, be sure to mention these during your initial consultation. Some issues can be dealt with immediately, like minimizing the size of pores. Other issues can be slowly treated over time as you have multiple treatments performed.

You do not need to worry about taking any time to recover after the treatment. As we mentioned, the last step uses the LED light in order to soothe your skin.
