Dr. Dhara Patel offers our cosmetic dental care patients the opportunity to refresh and rejuvenate their skin with a non-invasive treatment option. Hydrafacial is a unique facial treatment that gives your skin a smoother, more radiant appearance in about 30 minutes. Its unique ability to penetrate the outer layers of the skin enables patients to improve tone and texture without the side effects of more invasive treatment options.
What Is Hydrafacial?
Hydrafacial uses a handheld device that works like a vacuum, opening pores and allowing moisturizing nutrients to be absorbed deep into the skin. The ingredients used to treat your skin through the Hydrafacial device are personalized to your unique needs and skin condition.
The Hydrafacial wand will deeply open, cleanse, and exfoliate your skin’s pores during treatment. The wand’s gentle suction will remove dead skin cells and other impurities under the surface layer of your skin, providing a thorough cleanse. This improves the health of your skin and enables a deeper penetration of your nourishing skin treatment ingredients.
In addition to a personalized formula of deep cleansers and moisturizers, Hydrafacial also offers Boosters that can be added to your treatment. Boosters are specifically designed to address a range of common cosmetic concerns, such as fine lines and wrinkles, loss of volume, and the appearance of dark spots on the skin. Dr. Patel will evaluate your skin, discuss your cosmetic goals, and make a personalized recommendation for your treatment.
Hydrafacial FAQs
Our dentist office offers Hydrafacial treatment to compliment your beautiful smile. Learn more below.
How long does Hydrafacial treatment take?
A standard HydraFacial session typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Because it is a quick and efficient treatment with no downtime, many people schedule it during a lunch break or before an event. Despite its short duration, the treatment is highly effective, providing deep exfoliation, extraction, and hydration in one session. The session may take slightly longer if additional boosters or specialized treatments are added.
Is Hydrafacial painful?
No, HydraFacial is a painless and comfortable treatment. The suction and exfoliation may feel like a light vacuum massage on the skin but do not cause discomfort. Unlike extractions in traditional facials, which can be painful, HydraFacial uses gentle suction to remove impurities without irritation. Many people find the treatment relaxing and enjoyable.
Is there any downtime after a Hydrafacial?
No, one of the biggest advantages of HydraFacial is its no downtime. Unlike other facial treatments that may cause redness or peeling, you can resume normal activities immediately after the session. Some individuals may experience slight pinkness, but it typically fades within an hour. Many people even get a HydraFacial right before special occasions for an instant glow.
How often should I get a Hydrafacial?
For optimal results, it is recommended to get a HydraFacial every four to six weeks. Regular treatments help maintain skin health by keeping pores clear, boosting hydration, and stimulating collagen production. If you have specific skin concerns, such as acne or hyperpigmentation, your provider may initially suggest a more frequent schedule. Consistency is key to achieving and maintaining a clear, radiant complexion.
If I have sensitive skin, am I a candidate for Hydrafacial?
HydraFacial is safe for sensitive skin because it is gentle and non-irritating. The treatment can be customized to reduce exfoliation intensity, and soothing serums can prevent irritation. Unlike traditional facials that may include harsh extractions or aggressive exfoliation, HydraFacial delivers hydration and nutrients without aggravating the skin. However, it is always best to discuss skin sensitivities with your provider before treatment.
What makes Hydrafacial different from normal facials?
Unlike a traditional facial, HydraFacial uses advanced technology to cleanse, extract, and hydrate the skin more effectively. Traditional facials often rely on manual extractions, which can be painful and irritating, while HydraFacial uses a gentle vortex suction system. Additionally, HydraFacial delivers medical-grade serums deep into the skin for long-lasting hydration and rejuvenation. The treatment is also customizable, making it more versatile than standard facials.
