What is a Hydro-facial?

A medical-grade resurfacing treatment that clears your pores & hydrates your skin. This treatment combines cleansing, exfoliation, hydration and antioxidant protection with customized serum infusion to supercharge product absorption and intensify skin hydration.

Benefit 1:  Deeper product penetration

The first step includes a cleanse and a light exfoliation with microdermabrasion or a light peel.    This provides a noninvasive, gentle exfoliation of dead skin cells and painless removal of blackheads, dirt and impurities.  While this prepares the skin to effectively absorb serums later applied in treatment, instant results of glowing, healthy skin are revealed. The second step of the treatment involves the amazing Hydrowand which infuses choice serums into your skin allowing for deeper serum penetration to skin cells with instant results. 

Benefit 2: Personalized serums 

We at Radiance chose the serums used to customize the treatment specifically for you.   Skin type and specific needs of the skin help determine which serums are most appropriate to heal, nourish and protect in order to obtain a desired outcome.  The Hydro-facial helps to address skin concerns such as: 

• Dry skin
• Breakout prone skin 
• Minor to moderate fine lines
• Minor revision of scars
• Sun damaged skin
• Reduction of acne scars 
• Helps extraction of blackheads and whiteheads

Benefit 3: Intense hydration and skin nourishment

The exfoliation from microdermabrasion/light peel and the Hydrowand technology allow for deeper penetration of the serums and result in intense hydration and nourishment.  Below are some of our most popular ingredients in the serums. These perfectly formulated serums are effective with sensitive, normal, oily, dry and acneic skin.  We can also mix serums for maximum effect. For example, Vitamin C followed by or mixed with Power Hydration serum can be an effective anti-aging treatment.

• Vitamin C - When used on the skin, Vitamin C, a strong antioxidant can combat signs of aging. It decreases hyperpigmentation, evens skin tone, reduces wrinkles, and protects skin from sun damage.
• Alpha Hydroxy Acids - Aid in moisturizing, removing dead skin cells, treating acne and improving the appearance of acne scars.  It also improves the appearance of photo-aged skin while firming skin.
• Salicylic Acid with Niacinamides - Salicylic acid helps to remove the excess sebum on skin and opens clogged pores.  Niacinamide regulates the amount of oil the sebaceous glands produce and reduces inflammation or redness of skin. 
• Hyaluronic Acid -  Helps in hydrating dry skin which reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  Well hydrated skin allows for increased skin cell production.  This leads to smoother, plumper skin cells. 

If you are interested in a more hydrated, bright, and clear complexion without long recovery times, the Hydro-facial is for you!  This gentle, effective alternative provides exceptional results with as little as one treatment.  This combination treatment can also improve signs of aging by helping to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, increase firmness, even skin tone, texture, as well as reducing enlarged pores.  Call Radiance Skincare today to book your first Hydro-facial today.  Mention this blog and receive $10 off your first treatment, no other discounts apply.
