What Is A HydraFacial And What Does It Do?

Here at Beach House Spa on Long Beach Island, we provide advanced esthetic services, as well as full body therapeutic massage and skincare treatments. We are often asked about our HydraFacial, and we hope the following information will help clarify what a HydraFacial is, and what it does for your skin. 

A HydraFacial provides the benefits of a facial peel without the peeling! It is safe to receive all year, and the best results are obtained with a series of 3-6 monthly treatments. HydraFacials are customizable for your particular skin’s needs; and provide instant results with no down time. They include intense hydration for plump, healthy skin without clogging pores. 

Included in your HydraFacial treatment are painless extractions. The treatment decreases pore size, brightens skin, and reduces pigmentation. A HydraFacial improves overall skin tone, texture, and appearance. Deep exfoliation removes debris from your pores, resulting in superior penetration of facial serums customized for your skin type and particular needs. 

HydraFacials are offered as part of our Long Beach Island skincare services. This three-step process utilizes a spiral suction tip to dislodge impurities and provide deep cleaning, exfoliation, and hydration with the use of a proprietary machine. HydraFacials can help improve skin conditions including acne, wrinkles, dry skin, clogged pores, and rosacea. 

A HydraFacial is a powerful, non-invasive skincare treatment performed by a licensed aesthetician or a dermatologist. It utilizes a wand against your skin to deep clean your pores in step one. Step two involves a vacuum attachment on the wand to extract debris from your pores. Step 3 is a pen-like wand attachment utilized in the application of moisturizing serum and antioxidants, which may include hyaluronic acid and peptides. The HydraFacial may be followed by other skincare services. 

A HydraFacial is typically free of complications; and should not cause redness or pain. Make sure your provider is aware of any allergies you may have to ingredients to avoid breakouts after treatment. Tell your provider if you have extremely sensitive skin; or have experienced any problems with facial treatments and/or ingredients in the past. If you have an active rash or rosacea flare, it is best to wait until those clear up to get a HydraFacial treatment.

There is no downtime with a HydraFacial, and you are able to resume your normal activities immediately. After your HydraFacial, you should notice smoother, more radiant skin, as well as a more even skin tone. Your aesthetician can help determine the optimal number of treatments based upon your current skin condition, and your goals. 

You may feel light pressure from the wand during the hydrotherapy session while it deep cleans, hydrates, and exfoliates your skin.  A HydraFacial can result in decreased pore size, and help with hyperpigmentation and decreasing fine lines. As serums utilized in the treatment are customized for your skin type, you will likely find your skin looks smoother and plumper after treatment, with improved skin tone.
