How Exactly Does Hydrodermabrasion Work? Describing Process
One of the more elaborate non-invasive skin treatments is the hydro dermabrasion facial. It is a procedure similar to microdermabrasion in nature, but it employs different tools to help achieve a cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating treatment. It combines several methods and is typically completed in four steps.
The hydradermabrasion machine has a handpiece that is linked to a tube that is linked to several tanks. The handpiece serves several functions:
- Its tip does mechanical exfoliation when it’s moved across the skin
- It has a vacuum effect which immediately sucks away all dead skin cells and the contents of pores
- The tip is also used as a high-pressure sprayer which ejects solutions and infuses them deep into the pores
The whole treatment is done with the same handpiece, but the modes of the machine are switched to perform different functions.
At Mediterranean Beauty spa Dublin Ohio, we use a gentle wet vacuum to perform hydrodermabrasion treatments. This high-tech device uses pressure to lift the skin to a diamond tip, allowing us to provide effective and customized exfoliation. Interchangeable tips can be used and slowly passed across the skin’s surface to lift off the skin’s outermost dry and damaged layers with little to no pain or discomfort.
At least six treatments are recommended for skin correction, however. Add another treatment, like an oxygen facial or LED light therapy during the same session for even more gorgeous and clear skin.
How Long Does the Treatment Take?
The treatment doesn’t take long – up to 1 hour. If you’re not getting any add-ons, it probably won’t take that long.
Does It Hurt?
No! Actually, most clients claim it’s quite pleasant and feels like a facial massage.
Are the Results Immediate?
Yes, your skin will look fantastic immediately following the treatment. Aside from the lovely glow, you’ll notice there’s no puffiness. Lymphatic drainage is accomplished by moving the handpiece across the skin.
A few days later, you will notice some additional effects: your pores will appear much smaller – they will shrink because they are empty – and collagen production will increase, maximizing the glow of your skin.
How Often Should I Repeat the Treatment?
The hydro dermabrasion facial is a one-off, but it can be done periodically to maintain the results. If your skin is on the oilier side, you can get it once a month to cleanse the skin and prevent acne breakouts.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Nothing major:
- Your skin will most likely be red for a few hours after the procedure; this simply means that blood flow to the area has been increased.
- Minor bruising may occur as a result of the suction if your skin is thin or if you take blood-thinning medications or supplements.
- Your face may feel dry in the days following the procedure; moisturize liberally.
- There may also be some flaking a few days later; this is normal and simply indicates that your skin is exfoliating more.
- If you have a history of cold sores, the treatment may trigger a flare-up. Consult your doctor and, if possible, have an antiviral medication prescribed.
One thing to keep in mind is that your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight after the procedure, so wear SPF to protect yourself from sun damage.
What You Can Expect After Hydrodermabrasion Treatments
Exfoliation treatments work by removing the dry, damaged outer layer of skin that is infested with bacteria and dirt. A wet vacuum tool is also used in the hydrodermabrasion procedure to help suction away the exfoliated skin. This reveals the smoother, fresher, healthier baby soft skin beneath after various treatments.
Typically, patients will notice a noticeable improvement in the texture and brightness of their skin following the hydrodermabrasion treatment. Many patients will notice a visible glow, and their skin’s elasticity and discoloration may improve. However, the skin may appear slightly pink immediately following the procedure, but this will fade on its own. Patients are free to put on make-up and resume normal activities immediately following a hydrodermabrasion facial. After the procedure, make sure to use SPF products or directly apply sunscreen to your face on a daily basis. We also recommend that patients avoid direct sunlight for a few days after treatment.
Is Hydrodermabrasion a Right Facial Treatment for Me? Suitable for who?
- It is an excellent choice for people with tender or extremely sensitive skin. If you have darker skin tones, aging skin, congested and/or blemished skin, or dry skin, this is a must-have. Hydro-dermabrasion can also benefit oily skin by making it less greasy and shrinking pores.
- It is suitable for both men and women, but the face must be freshly shaved.
- If you have mild acne scars, they can be reduced in appearance, as can fine lines. The results will be visible to your skin immediately following the procedure.
- It’s ideal if you need a gentle but thorough facial right before a big event, such as a wedding.
- If you have dark spots on your skin, such as age spots or hyperpigmentation, hydro-dermabrasion can help you get rid of them over time.
How much does this type of facial cost?
The cost will vary depending on the clinic or spa you choose, but expect to pay between $95 and $300 per treatment. This type of procedure is great for boosting your skin and giving it a nice glow before a big event like a wedding or anniversary, but if you really want to treat fine lines or acne scars, it is recommended to do about 6-10 sessions every 2 weeks for it to be highly effective.
Taking care of your skin post treatment (Aftercare)
Drink plenty of water after the procedure and eat water-rich foods like fruits and vegetables, as the procedure can dehydrate you. Your skin will require additional hydration, so apply a thick layer of your richest face cream and remove any debris left on your skin following the procedure. Be gentle with your skin; avoid using scented or harsh cleaning products, and avoid picking at your face to remove dead skin. Leave it alone; it is rejuvenating itself. In addition, you must refrain from wearing makeup for at least 48 hours after the treatment. Protect your skin from the sun for 5-7 days because the sun’s rays can easily damage sensitive skin.
