Ask the Experts: HydraFacial

The HydraFacial has been around since 2015—and since then, has gained a massive worldwide following.

It’s so popular that statistics say one HydraFacial is being performed somewhere in the world every 15 seconds. No wonder almost every clinic wants to add it to its roster of services.

But is there a concrete basis for its popularity, or is it just another trend? To answer this, it’s necessary to hear what the professionals have to say. This is why the experts at APT Medical Aesthetics are here to take a closer look to see if this treatment is indeed worth it.

How the HydraFacial Changed the Medical Aesthetics Industry 

There are many kinds of facials: dermaplaning, acne facials, anti-aging facials, acupuncture facials, chemical peels, laser skin rejuvenation, intraceutical, and more. Each of these types targets a specific skin concern.

If you want to get rid of acne, then an acne facial would be the best treatment for you. If your skin looks dull, your best bet to make it glow is a brightening facial.

But HydraFacial changed all of that. That’s because the HydraFacial is a combination of some of these facials in a single treatment—making it the perfect choice for those who want to address various skin concerns in one go. 

In just one session, HydraFacial can thoroughly clean your face, exfoliate dead skin cells, extract impurities from your pores, and infuse the skin with rejuvenating serums. 

The result? Plump, youthful-looking skin with smaller pores, reduced wrinkles, and an even skin tone.

The Technology Behind the HydraFacial

All these skin benefits wouldn’t be possible without the help of technological advancements in medical aesthetics. 

Hydrafacial is a medical-grade resurfacing system that uses Vortex Technology for its multi-step approach to skin treatment. 

The spiral design of the four HydroPeel Tips used in this facial creates a vortex effect that can easily dislodge and vacuum impurities from the skin while delivering serums and skincare actives at the same time.

The HydraFacial machine also has other notable features: it can apply a combination of algae, lactic acid, and glucosamine HCI (also called “Vortex Fusion”).

Another factor that sets it apart from other treatments is that it can deliver serums and actives in varying degrees of pressure. The dispersion level of acids can be adjusted as well. 

Check out what each tip can do for your skin:

• A blue tip allows for gentle cleansing and exfoliating; 
• An orange tip provides enhanced and complete exfoliation;
• A teal tip is narrow enough to extract impurities from the skin; and
• A clear tip applies antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and other active ingredients onto the skin.

The Hype Around the HydraFacial

The mass following of the HydraFacial extends far and wide. This includes celebrities like Kate Winslet, Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Paris Hilton, Charlize Theron, Amy Poehler, and more.

There are many reasons why the HydraFacial is immensely popular. Here are a few of them:

• It only takes around 45 minutes to complete the treatment
• No downtime
• Painless
• Works on any skin type
• The effects are immediate: smaller pores, fewer lines and wrinkles, and more radiant and younger-looking skin

What Experts Are Saying About the HydraFacial

Edge Systems, the manufacturer of HydraFacial’s Vortex Technology, takes great pride in creating devices that are rigorously tested before distribution. 

According to Dr. Ariel Ostad, a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist, the HydraFacial is the only hydra-dermabrasion procedure that cleanses, extracts, and hydrates the skin using patented technology. And because HydraFacial is FDA-approved, it means it is a safe and branded experience. Therefore, medical spas have to be registered and licensed in order to offer it.

So, does the HydraFacial work? A lot of skin experts agree that it does.

Dr. Anne Marie McNeill, a dermatologist in California, says HydraFacials can give a person a nice glow before an event. That’s because the results of this treatment are not just instant, but also long-lasting.

Another certified dermatologist based in Los Angeles, Dr. Anna Guanche, has this to say about HydraFacials:

“The treatment reduces fine lines and wrinkles, increases firmness, evens tone, texture, and brown spots, as well as reducing enlarged pores.”
