What is a Hydrafacial?

Non-invasive and nourishing, the Hydrafacial is a state-of-the-art solution for achieving a clearer, brighter complexion. It fuses three essential skin remedies – cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration – into a single powerful solution. Impurities are extracted, the pores are unclogged, dead skin cells are eliminated, and the skin is nurtured with potent age-defying elixirs, revitalizing and refreshing your countenance. A Hydrafacial in Bellevue is a gentle treatment lasting less than an hour that avoids the swelling and redness associated with dermabrasion.

What are the five steps of the Hydrafacial?

STEP ONE – Cleansing and exfoliation

As a first step of your Hydrafacial in Bellevue, the skin is purified of any dirt, oil, makeup, or debris. A gentle exfoliator made with lactic acid is then applied to clear away dead skin cells, preparing the complexion for the next steps in the Hydrafacial process.

STEP TWO – Glycolic and salicylic acid peel

During the next step in the Hydrafacial, a mild peel is administered to the skin, enhancing the exfoliation process to unclog blocked pores and rejuvenate the skin’s texture and tone.

STEP THREE – Extraction

In the third step, a specialized Hydrafacial device is used to painlessly extract impurities from the pores. Vortex suction vacuums out oil, dirt, debris, and other congesting materials. This helps to clarify and brighten the complexion.

STEP FOUR – Hydration

During this phase of the Hydrafacial, the skin is infused with rejuvenating serums that address the patient’s unique aesthetic concerns. The serums are composed of peptides, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid, compounds that nourish and revive the complexion.

STEP FIVE – Protection

During the final phase of the Hydrafacial process, a protective serum is applied to ward off environmental damage and prolong the treatment’s results.

Who is an ideal candidate for a Hydrafacial in Seattle?

A Hydrafacial in Bellevue is appropriate for all skin types, even sensitive skin. Each treatment is carefully curated for the patient’s unique skin problems and comfort levels. Whether you struggle with dry skin, oily, skin, combination skin, or acne-prone skin, a Hydrafacial can help you reclaim a vital, refreshed glow. 

While most patients will qualify to receive a Hydrafacial, consult with your provider if you suffer from any skin disorders or conditions, such as rosacea, dermatitis, or eczema. If you have a severe sunburn currently, you may be advised to postpone your Hydrafacial. Women who are pregnant or nursing should consult with their doctor prior to undergoing a Hydrafacial or any other cosmetic treatment. 

What can I expect after my Hydrafacial?

The Hydrafacial is gentle and non-invasive, so patients can quickly resume their normal schedules after treatment. Mild redness or sensitivity may occur after your session but these symptoms tend to resolve within a few hours or by the next day. Avoid using harsh products or exfoliants for the first day after your Hydrafacial. This will give the skin time to heal and recover. Patients can maintain their results by following a structured at-home skincare regimen that involves cleansing, hydrating, and protecting the skin. It’s important to wear sunscreen when exposed to harmful UV rays. The Hydrafacial can be repeated at regular intervals for best results.
