Hydrafacial In Rickmansworth

Hydradermabrasion, introduced by the innovative company behind the only example of this technology, the Hydrafacia treatment which became available in the UK in 2009, is indeed similar in general concept to its older cousin; however, the primary difference is the lack of any crystals used to assist in the exfoliation process, and the use instead of a specially shaped spiral tip with vortex technology which exfoliates and removes impurities alongside delivering pneumatically applied serums that cleanse, hydrate and provide antioxidant infusion during the treatment process, (something which traditional microdermabrasion treatments do not). This makes it a much more advanced treatment than microdermabrasion.
 
Hydradermabrasion takes its name from the word ‘hydrate’ meaning to ‘cause to take up moisture’. This ability to actively moisturise the skin during the treatment process sets it apart from all other skin resurfacing procedures available, such as microdermabrasion, chemical peeling and laser/IPL treatments.

There are many benefits of Hydrafacial treatment which include, but aren’t limited to: 

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Skin elasticity and firmness

• Skin texture

• Uneven skin tone and age spots/brown spots

• Acne

• Oily skin and congested skin (removes dead skin cells)

• Enlarged pores

• Restore radiant skin tone

• Acne scars

Hydrafacial is generally considered safe and free of complications, but some individuals may feel slight pressure from the device during the procedure. Unlike other cosmetic treatments, it is not meant to be painful or cause redness.

However, it is not recommended for individuals with active skin conditions, such as a rosacea flare, or a current rash. In such cases, it is best to seek medical advice before undergoing Hydrafacial treatment.

Hydrafacial treatment delivers powerful antioxidants into your skin so following just one Hydrafacial, you will notice immediate skin improvements that will last for several days.

Specific skin conditions may need multiple treatments to see results – your practitioner will share their recommendations after a personalised consultation.

For optimum results, a course of regular treatments is usually recommended, followed by regular monthly or quarterly maintenance treatments. How many treatments you will need can be discussed with your practitioner.

A standard HydraFacial will take 60 minutes, however, treatment can be tailored to your individual needs so may take longer or can be done in as little as 30 minutes.

It is advised to avoid hot environments and intense physical activities, such as saunas, sunbeds, intense workouts, and hot yoga, for the next 48 hours after your HydraFacial treatment. Also, avoid swimming pools for the next 48 hours. Using a minimum of SPF30 sun protection is crucial (as it should always be!) For optimal results, avoid undergoing any aggressive skin treatments on the treated area for 2 weeks. Additionally, refrain from using retinol products for 2 days after the treatment.

The ideal frequency for HydraFacial treatments is approximately once a month or every 4 weeks. This schedule is suitable for most individuals and yields the greatest benefits for the skin. With one treatment every 4 weeks, a wide range of cosmetic issues, including anti-aging and acne control, can be effectively addressed.
