What is Hydrafacial?
Hydrafacial is a medical-grade skin resurfacing treatment. Achieving the results of an advanced facial in just 30 minutes. It’s soothing, refreshing, non-irritating, and immediately effective. In this blog post, we will delve into what is Hydrafacial and the process and treatment we offer here at Holmes of Beauty.
What actually is a Hydrafacial?
A Hydrafacial is a highly customisable skin-loving treatment with little to no side effects and instantly noticeable results!
It detoxifies and cleanses for every skin type, extracts impurities from dull skin and helps maintain skin elasticity while smoothing away those fine lines, wrinkles and open pores.
It is a very gentle, pain-free facial treatment – simply lie back and one of our skin experts will apply the patented HydraFacial device to your face and you’ll feel a light massage while gentle exfoliation takes place, removing impurities and boosting the hydration of your skin.
At Holmes of Beauty, we are skin experts and we love the HydraFacial for its fantastic results.
The Hydrafacial Process
After a thorough consultation about the Hydrafacial process, your therapist will start the treatment.
The first phase of the facial deeply cleanses the skin creating a bright, blemish-free complexion. It also creates a smoother, more permeable surface area onto which the serums are applied and absorbed into the skin.
Then we use the HydraFacial’s own vortex pressure technology and hydradermabrasion techniques to open up your pores and clean the dead skin using a serum of lactic acid, glucosamine and botanical extracts.
The third stage uses another tip which administers salicylic acid and glycolic acid to dissolve impurities like blackheads. Then using Vortex Extraction and another serum of salicylic acid and honey extract, the impurities are sucked out of the skin. This sounds scary but it’s a very simple procedure that gently removes sebum, dirt and other impurities, while the massaging sensation also improves lymphatic drainage and leads to incredible facial rejuvenation.
Finally, we add bespoke serums created just for you that contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid, powerful antioxidants and peptides. We can then use an LED light treatment to reduce redness and boost natural collagen and vitamin D.
Why Summer Is The Perfect Time To Get A HydraFacial
Summer and the warmer months call for clear, make-up free skin which means you want it to be at its best! When the sun comes out, covering up blemishes and imperfections with makeup can be messy, sweaty and just plain ineffective!
Between evenings spent outside with friends and family to those well-earned summer vacations, you don’t want to spend time worrying about your skin health… you want to be enjoying your time in the sun!
Enjoy gentle exfoliation on your skin
During the hottest, brightest months, your skin can really suffer – from skin-clogging sunblock to excessive sweating, it goes through a lot. All of this is reason enough to regularly exfoliate our skin during summertime, however too much exfoliation can leave skin more sensitive to UV rays. The beauty of Hydrafacial is that it offers a perfect balance of gentle exfoliation to give your skin all the essential nutrients and goodness without damaging it in the long run.
