Hydrafacial is a non-invasive skin health care procedure. For most person, we suggest to do hydrafacial treatment once a month. It cleanses, nourishes, and protects the skin through three steps:
Step 1: Clean skin+activate skin:
Hydrafacial use patented vortex technology probe and mild essence solution to remove dirt and horniness on the skin surface, open the skin channel, and prepare for the next steps.
Step 2: Clean up+brighten up:
By using the vacuum, the probe goes deep into the pores to absorb deep dirt and sebum, while introducing essence containing salicylic acid and other ingredients to regulate oil secretion and improve pore clogging.
Step 3: Nourishing+repairing:
The last step is to use essence liquid rich in hyaluronic acid, minerals, antioxidants and other ingredients to provide nutrition and moisture for the skin and enhance the barrier function of the skin.
What decides the interval of a hydrafacial treatment?
The metabolic cycle of the skin
The metabolic cycle of normal skin is about 28 days. During this cycle, the skin will continuously generate new cells, while old keratinocytes will gradually shed. Hydrafacial can promote skin metabolism by removing old dead skin cells and deeply cleaning pores, but if done too frequently, it may disrupt the normal metabolic rhythm of the skin, causing it to become sensitive and fragile.
A time interval of about a month can allow the skin enough time for self repair and renewal after each treatment, while also ensuring that the effects of Hydrafacial can be sustained.
Absorption time of the products
The serum used by Hydrafacial contains a variety of active ingredients, which need a certain time to be fully absorbed by the skin and play a role. For example, hyaluronic acid can provide long-lasting moisturizing results for the skin, but its absorption and effectiveness take several days or even a week. If the interval is too short, the skin may not fully absorb the solutions from the previous treatment, and the next treatment will be carried out. This not only wastes the product, but also may cause the skin to be overloaded.
In addition, some antioxidants and repair ingredients in Hydrafacial also require time to exert their protective and repairing effects on the skin. A one month interval can allow these ingredients to fully exert their effects and provide better care for the skin.
How often should you do hydrafacial treatment for different skin types?
- Oily skin
Oily skin usually has a strong secretion of oil, which can easily lead to problems such as clogged pores and acne. For oily skin, the interval between Hydrafacial can be appropriately shortened, such as once every 2-3 weeks. But it should not be too frequent, so as not to damage the skin barrier due to excessive cleaning.
After undergoing Hydrafacial treatment, patients with oily skin should also pay attention to daily skin care, such as using oil controlling cleansing products, refreshing skincare products, and avoiding the use of overly greasy cosmetics. Meanwhile, maintaining good lifestyle habits such as a light diet can also help improve the condition of oily skin.
- Dry skin
Dry skin has relatively less oil secretion, and the skin is relatively dry, lacking moisture and luster. For dry skin, the interval time for Hydrafacial can be appropriately extended, such as once every 1.5-2 months.
Dry skin needs to pay more attention to moisturizing and nourishing after treatment with Hydrafacial. Skin care products rich in oil and moisturizing ingredients, such as face cream and essence oil, can be used to strengthen the skin’s ability to lock water. At the same time, avoid using irritating facial cleansing products and cosmetics to prevent exacerbating skin dryness.
- Sensitive skin
Sensitive skin is relatively fragile and prone to allergies, redness, and swelling caused by external stimuli. For sensitive skin, it is essential to undergo a skin test before undergoing Hydrafacial treatment to ensure that the skin does not develop allergic reactions to Hydrafacial’s products and treatment process.
The interval between Hydrafacial for sensitive skin should be determined according to the specific condition of the skin, and it is generally recommended to do it once every 2 months or more. After treatment, gentle and non irritating skincare products should be used, and products containing irritating ingredients such as alcohol and spices should be avoided. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to sun protection and avoid UV damage to the skin.
sUMMARY
In short, the treatment interval of Hydrafacial should be determined based on individual skin type, skin condition, and treatment effect. Before and after the treatment of Hydrafacial, it is necessary to take good care of the skin to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment. If any discomfort or abnormal situation occurs during the treatment process, it is necessary to consult a doctor or professional beautician.
