Hydrafacial – cost, treatment, risks | MOOCI

A hydrafacial, also called aquafacial, is an intensive but also very gentle facial treatment. For this, specialists use a device that resembles a kind of mini vacuum cleaner and clean the face in four steps. The treatment completely removes dead skin cells and the result should reveal a completely new skin.

What effect does the Hydrafacial have?

The goal of the treatment is a fresh, radiant treatment complexion. The Hydrafacial ensures a refined skin structure and at the same time makes it plumper and smoother. The skin not only looks more even, but pigment spots can also be visibly reduced. During the session, the skin is additionally supplied with high-dose active ingredients. This strengthens your skin and increases blood circulation and cell metabolism.How does the hydrafacial differ from a normal cleansing of the face?

Unlike other methods of cleansing the face, the Hydrafacial is particularly gentle. For this reason, the treatment is especially recommended for severe acne or very blemished skin. The “suction” of the skin does not cause any irritation and in addition, the expert provides it with important active ingredients.For which applications is Hydrafacial suitable?

Even though the hydrafacial treatment is mainly used on the face, it is possible for any area of the body. The procedure is often used on the neck, décolleté or back. When is the Hydrafacial used?

The main application of the hydrafacial is the deep cleansing of the skin and its supply with active ingredients. However, the Hydrafacial can be used in many ways and is used, for example, in the following clinical pictures:

These include, for example, rosacea and couperose. These are chronic diseases that usually result from a genetically determined connective tissue weakness. They often manifest themselves on the basis of veins that run over the face or in the form of reddish spots. The hydrafacial can provide a remedy here, as the active ingredients that are supplied in the course of the session stimulate the blood circulation and also the regeneration of the pulps.

By incorporating hyaluronic acid, specialists achieve a renewed plumping of the wrinkles, and the treatment also counteracts the formation of new wrinkles. This skin tightening thus also serves as an anti-aging precaution.

Due to the pore-deep cleansing, which is only made possible by an acid peeling, blackheads can be treated excellently and also removed.

Acne also improves with the treatment. Against the acne scars themselves help on the one hand the hyaluronic acid, which plumps up the scars and on the other hand the nourishing active ingredients, which contribute to cell regeneration.

Since milia are benign, small cysts consisting of keratin and sebum, the hydrafacial also provides a remedy here. By deeply cleansing the skin with the help of a water vortex, the sebum can dissolve and thus reduce or even remove the cyst.

Pigment spots and age spots

By removing the uppermost layer of skin, not only does the entire treated area look much more even. It also significantly attenuates the intensity of pigment spots and age spots. Who is Hydrafacial suitable for?

Basically, the Hydrafacial is suitable for everyone. Due to the individual compositions of the serums, the doctor can optimally adapt the treatment to you and the needs of your skin.

From what age is Hydrafacial suitable?

Due to the fact that the hydrafacial has a preventive and firming effect, experts do not recommend the form of treatment before the age of 19. The more mature the skin, the more intensive the treatment with firming peptides can be. Is Hydrafacial applicable to all skin types?

The Hydrafacial is suitable for all skin types due to the gentle method. This is why it is a good form for treatment, care and cleansing of very sensitive or easily irritable skin.When should Hydrafacial not be used?

However, there are some contraindicators. So the treatment should not be done if you suffer from a strong, active skin infection, such as a fresh herpes infection. Another factor that speaks against treatment are larger wounds or severe skin irritation in the area to be treated. This includes sunburns or if you have recently had laser treatment. Immediately after an operation in the treatment area, you must also do without a hydrafacial. Which aesthetic facials are the Hydrafacial different from?

In addition to hydrafacial, there are also numerous other methods to improve the appearance of the skin.

For example, specialists in microneedling use devices that perforate your skin with very thin needles. These injuries form new cells and tissues, which makes your skin appear rejuvenated and rosy.

Microdermabrasion is similar in its effect to cleansing in a hydrafacial, but the active ingredients used differ. While in a hydrafacial the skin is gently “sucked off”, the method of microdermabrasion is abrasive, which tends to lead to irritation, but also to longer visible results.

Chemical peeling (fruit acid peeling)

In a chemical peel, experts usually rely on glycolic acid as a basis. This penetrates into the top layer of the skin and removes the dead skin cells. Once this happens, the younger, radiant layer of skin comes to the surface.

Another anti-aging method is the so-called Jetpeel. Specialists use a technology that actually comes from space and aviation. At supersonic speeds, they apply an aerosol jet, which can contain either oxygen or carbon dioxide, onto your skin using a device that has microscopic nozzles as an attachment. In this way, dead skin cells can be removed, pores cleaned and special active ingredients can be broken into the skin. At the same time, the device cools them and gently removes the top layer of skin. This, in turn, should have the rejuvenating effect.

PRP treatment (vampire lifting)

The PRP treatment, also called vampire lifting, is also for rejuvenating and improving the appearance of the skin. Here, the specialists prepare the body’s own blood in order to inject it into the area to be treated. This method is also used to regenerate the hair.

A ProFacial is a relatively new method of facial treatment. Here, specialists rely on a combination of aqua peeling, radiofrequency, ionto-lifting and ultrasound. This compound is said not only to cleanse and hydrate your skin, but also to provide it with antioxidants, peptides, and growth factors.

Just like the hydrafacial, dermal infusion is a non-invasive treatment to improve the appearance of the skin. However, it is the combination of an exfoliation and the simultaneous infusion of special serums that enrich your skin with nutrients. Can Hydrafacial be combined with Botox®?

Hydrafacial treatment cannot be combined with botulinum toxin. In fact, specialists advise waiting about three weeks before the next treatment if you use Botox® or fillers. What are the advantages of Hydrafacial?

Hydrafacial offers several advantages. On the one hand, it is suitable for almost everyone and represents a very gentle form of improving the appearance of the skin. On the other hand, you are socially acceptable again immediately after the treatment. In addition, compared to similar methods, it is not only the deep purification, but also the supply of important active ingredients. This combination leads to a visible improvement in the appearance of the skin after the first session.Who is allowed to perform a hydrafacial?

Hydrafacial treatment is allowed to be performed by both doctors and cosmetologists. However, you should always inform yourself exactly how well the beauticians are trained. In any case, you are always in good hands with a dermatologist.How does Hydrafacial work?
