Hydrafacial® — 3 Quick Steps to Skin That Glows
When you get into your car, you often have to hit the windshield wipers to clear away that thin layer of dust and debris. That also applies to every surface in your house, which seems to collect dust immediately after you clean.
Well, this is all happening on your face, too. The environment is full of dirt, debris, and pollutants that cover your skin and get into your pores, preventing them from doing what they do best — moisturize and hydrate your skin.
One of the best ways to fight back against these skin-dulling forces is to hit the reset button with our innovative Hydrafacial® treatment. At Orange Coast Dermatology, our skilled team endeavors to provide patients with the most innovative skin care technologies available, and the Hydrafacial is a great example of this.
Here’s a look at how we can make your skin glow with Hydrafacial in just three steps.
1. A deep clean
To start the Hydrafacial, we perform a gentle peel that gives your face a deep clean, at the same time as we remove aging and dead skin cells from the surface. This allows us to get to a healthier layer of skin to work our next magic.
2. Unclogging your pores with Hydrafacial
Once your skin is prepared with the light peel, we get to work on those pores. Pores are small openings in your skin, and there are two types:
Oil pores
Oil pores are found most everywhere on your body, except on your palms and the soles of your feet. The pores are linked to tiny glands that produce the oil and then excrete it through the openings so the oil can nourish, hydrate, moisturize, and protect your skin.
Sweat pores
Located across your entire body, the other pores are those associated with your sweat glands.
No matter what type of pore, these tiny openings can get clogged with dirt, debris, old skin cells, and anything else the world throws at you. As a result, your skin isn’t benefiting from skin-nourishing oil. Not to mention, clogged pores are the leading driver of acne, which affects 50 million Americans each year.
The Hydrafacial system comes with a wand that we use to remove impurities in your pores through gentle suction.
3. Nourishing and hydrating your skin
After the deep cleanse and pore cleaning, it’s an ideal time for us to infuse special serums into your skin that take the Hydrafacial to the next level.
This last step is one that we can customize to the unique needs of your skin. There are many serum options, and we sit down with you before we start to figure out which one would benefit your skin most.
For example, someone with dry skin might choose one that focuses on rehydration. Or, if you want to tackle aging skin, several of the serums are regenerative and encourage cellular turnover.
As you can see, a Hydrafacial leaves no stone unturned when it comes to getting your face to glow with health and vitality again.
To see how a Hydrafacial can hit the reset button in your skin, we invite you to contact one of our offices in Rancho Santa Margarita, Orange, or Mission Viejo, California, today to schedule an appointment.
