skin Spotlight on... The HydraFacial The HydraFacial elevates the traditional facial to a whole new level of hydration. We investigate how it works. HydraFacial has quickly cemented itself in the spa and beauty scene as the next-gen facial. It is a technology-driven non-invasive gentle resurfacing procedure that delivers instantly noticeable improvement to the look and feel of the skin. HydraFacial elevates the facial to the top of its game, deeply cleansing, decongesting and nourishing the skin for a more beautiful complexion. It combines exfoliation, acid peels, pore extractions and antioxidant infusions to cleanse, nourish and brighten the skin – and all in around 30 minutes. ‘Every patient should see the benefits from their very first HydraFacial. It instantly leaves the skin with a plump, well-hydrated healthy glow, visibly clear 56 www.cosbeauty.com.au
skin 1 2 3 4 5 The 5 steps Cleansing and Exfoliation Dead skin calls are removed to reveal healthy new skin Acid Peel This gentle peel helps loosen dirt and debris from pores without irritation Extractions Automated extractions use vortex suction to clean out pores Hydration Antioxidants and hyaluronic acid are vortex-fused to nourish and protect the skin Protection The HydraFacial Daily Essentials skincare helps maintain and protect results pores and irresistibly “soft to the touch” refined skin. The procedure is soothing, moisturising, non-irritating and immediately effective,’ says Queensland cosmetic physician Dr Linda Williams. The HydraFacial system uses five steps: cleansing and exfoliation removes dead skin cells, an acid peel dislodges grime from the pores, and a vortex suction extraction system unclogs the pores completely. This cleansing is followed by the infusion of a highly active hydrating serum to nourish and protect the skin. The treatment is soothing, hydrating, non-invasive, non-irritating and has no downtime. It works to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, congested and enlarged pores, oily or acne-prone skin, hyperpigmentation and brown spots – it’s the perfect introduction to anti-ageing procedures or a reliable skin refresher if you’re after a quick complexion pick-me-up. ‘The HydraFacial is great for skin maintenance, or skin “fitness”,’ explains Sydney cosmetic doctor Dr Bruce Williamson. ‘It noticeably decongests and shrinks pores, and then plumps skin with antioxidant and hyaluronic acid infusions. The skin is left healthier and glowing after a HydraFacial treatment.’ ‘The HydraFacial system uses the benefits of glycolic acid, salicylic acid and peptides to soften the bonds that bind our dead cells together and to decongest the blockages within our pores,’ explains Dr Williams. ‘It provides cleansing, exfoliation, extraction and hydration using antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid. From the patient’s perspective, it’s a quick 30-minute treatment with immediate results and no downtime.’ The non-invasive nature of HydraFacial means anyone is suitable for treatment. ‘The five-step process can be adjusted depending on the needs and concerns of the individual patient,’ Dr Williamson explains. ‘First we cleanse and exfoliate the skin. Then we perform an acid peel where the level of peel is chosen according to the patient’s skin type. The vortex suction comes next, which vacuums out the plugs in congested pores. Again, the strength of the vortex system can be tailored to the patient’s skin sensitivity.’ ‘In some situations, removal and decongestion of blocked pores may be the main focus whereas, at other times, the treatment may be modified to give an overall skin revision with a focus on refreshing texture and improving hydration.’ Dr Williamson recommends patients undergo treatment with HydraFacial every two to four weeks, and says the results can be seen and felt immediately following treatment. To extend the results and retain the skin’s lustre and brightness between treatments, the final step in the HydraFacial is the introduction of the ‘daily essentials’ skincare. Tailored to certain skin complaints, the range incorporates topical moisturisers, refining eye gels and daily sun protection. Each product is infused with select concentrations of the same active ingredients found in the salon treatment, providing detoxification, rejuvenation and protection in between visits. ‘The easy monthly maintenance programme is convenient for the patient and easy to maintain and is also great for ongoing continuity of care,’ says Dr Williams. ‘I liken the HydraFacial to vacuuming the floor; you are not making major changes in the skin but you can see the difference straightaway.’ The same way congested pores and an oily surface can leave the skin looking dull and lacklustre, a deeply cleansing facial can fuel the complexion with vibrancy, luminosity and youthfulness. ‘At the end of the treatment patients can see the cloudiness in the vortex solution; this is the blackhead plugs and congestion that was initially in the skin. The results from such a deep cleansing, combined with antioxidant nourishment, can be seen for months after treatment,’ Dr Williamson concludes. csbm www.cosbeauty.com.au 57
