It can often take a lot of products and techniques to keep your skin clear, healthy, and glowing, but did you know that Hydrafacial MD can do it all? Whether you have dry skin, oily skin, pigmentation, wrinkles, or acne, a Hydrafacial MD treatment in East Lansing can rejuvenate your skin to the best it has ever been. Here is what you should know about this all-in-one treatment.

What is Hydrafacial MD?

Hydrafacial MD is much more than a cosmetic treatment, it is skincare at its best. This treatment can offer the smoothing and exfoliating results of microdermabrasion and micropeel, while also giving your skin the ultimate moisturizing treatment it needs. It also includes effective pore extraction for clean, clear skin, as well as treatment with hydrating and enriching super serums that are chosen to treat your specific skin concerns. These can include growth factors, vitamins, peptides, or glycerin to help diminish discoloration, treat aging signs, and recharge the skin.

How Does Hydrafacial MD Work?

The complete Hydrafacial MD treatment in East Lansing occurs in three steps: The first cleanses, exfoliates, and peels the skin to remove dead cells and uncover a new, healthy layer of skin. Then, any remaining debris is gently suctioned from the pores to prevent acne and allow for ultimate moisture retention. Powerful moisturizers are then applied over the new, clean layer of skin to ensure it stays healthy and supple. Lastly, the skin is infused with our super serums to promote support and regrowth in the long term. These steps can greatly benefit any skin type, making it the right treatment for just about anyone.

Types of Hydrafacial Treatments

Signature Hydrafacial

The Signature Hydrafacial offers a complete skincare refresh, targeting concerns like dryness, dullness, and clogged pores. It includes a three-step process of cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating the skin using essential serums. This quick and effective treatment is ideal for maintaining your skin’s health and glow with regular sessions, making it an excellent option for those looking to enhance their skincare routine without downtime.

Deluxe Hydrafacial

The Deluxe Hydrafacial takes your skincare to the next level by incorporating customized booster serums that address concerns such as fine lines, hyperpigmentation, or uneven texture. This treatment offers all the benefits of the Signature Hydrafacial with the added advantage of targeted boosters tailored to your skin type. It is perfect for individuals who want to treat deeper skincare issues while enjoying a luxurious and relaxing experience.

Before Your Hydrafacial MD Procedure

Preparing your skin before your hydrafacial is important to ensure the best possible results. To prevent skin irritation, avoid using retinol, exfoliants, or harsh skincare products at least 5-7 days before your appointment. Additionally, it is recommended to avoid other cosmetic treatments, such as chemical peels or laser treatments, for at least 2 weeks before and after your Hydrafacial. Staying hydrated and avoiding excessive sun exposure will also help your skin respond better to the treatment.

During Your Hydrafacial MD Procedure

The Hydrafacial procedure is designed to be a soothing and comfortable experience, lasting between 30 minutes to 1 hour. You will relax as your provider cleanses, exfoliates, and applies hydrating serums to your skin. Clogged pores are cleared with gentle suction and moisturizing serums are applied to lock in hydration. This non-invasive process is painless, leaving your skin feeling fresh, smooth, and radiant. Most patients find it a relaxing break in their day, free from discomfort or downtime.

After Your Hydrafacial MD Procedure

Once your Hydrafacial is complete, you will immediately notice a smoother, hydrated complexion with little to no redness or irritation. There is no downtime required , so you can return to your regular activities right away. However, protecting your freshly treated skin is essential by avoiding direct sun exposure and applying sunscreen. You can continue your regular skincare routine the next day, focusing on moisturizing products to maintain the treatment’s benefits, and avoiding any harsh acids or exfoliants.

What to Expect for Your Hydrafacial MD Results

After your Hydrafacial, your skin will look and feel more hydrated, smooth, and radiant. Many patients notice a brighter complexion immediately, with results lasting about a week. Monthly treatments are recommended for ongoing improvements to address concerns like fine lines, uneven texture, or acne. With consistent sessions, Hydrafacial can help maintain long-term skin health and provide a glowing, youthful appearance year-round.

FAQs

Is HydraFacial good for acne?

Hydrafacial can be a great non-surgical treatment for individuals seeking to manage mild to moderate acne and skin congestion. It can also be used to reduce the appearance of acne scars and promote healthier, clearer skin. Since the procedure is non-invasive with minimal side effects, it is suitable for most all skin types, including oily, acne-prone skin.

Is HydraFacial FDA approved?

Yes, Hydrafacial devices are FDA approved, medical-grade skincare devices that comply with the FDA's manufacturing and safety requirements necessary for cosmetic devices. The treatment is recognized for its safety profile when performed according to the manufacturer’s guidelines and by a qualified skincare professional.

Do HydraFacials make your skin peel?

Unlike more intensive chemical peels, HydraFacials do not typically make the skin peel because they use gentle acids and a hydradermabrasion process. The treatment aims to leave the skin more radiant and hydrated without the downtime associated with peeling and irritation that can be caused by more aggressive skin resurfacing treatments. Any peeling you see, if any, will be minimal and should only last a day or two after treatment.

When will my skin look best after a HydraFacial?

Your skin is likely to look its best within 72 hours of a Hydrafacial treatment, once any redness and initial tightness has subsided. Many individuals report seeing noticeable improvements in skin tone and texture right away.

How long do HydraFacial results last?

The longevity of Hydrafacial results can vary from person to person due to factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and maintenance routines. Typically, the immediate radiance and smoothness achieved from a Hydrafacial can be noticeable for up to a week or longer. For long-term skincare benefits, such as improved texture and clarity, clients often opt for monthly treatments to maintain their fresh and rejuvenated skin appearance and target harder to correct concerns such as hyperpigmentation or dark spots.

How long does the HydraFacial treatment take?

Hydrafacial treatments typically take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. Whether you’re undergoing a Signature or Deluxe package, your appointment time may differ slightly.

Is the HydraFacial treatment painful?

The HydraFacial treatment is not painful, and patients should not feel any discomfort during their treatment. If at any time you do feel discomfort, be sure to let your treatment specialist know so that they can adjust the treatment to ensure your comfort.

When can the HydraFacial results be seen?

Many clients say that they see visible skin improvement and an even, radiant skin tone after just one treatment. Hydrating results may last 5-7 days, or even longer. One treatment per month is recommended to help improve the look of lines, wrinkles, brown spots, and oily, congested skin. It is highly recommended that you continue to get regular HydraFacial treatments to maintain skin health results. Future treatments can be discussed before or after your initial HydraFacial treatment.

Am I a candidate for the HydraFacial treatment?

Hydrafacial treatments are good for all skin types and can address various concerns. If you have fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne, or other like ailments, you may be a good candidate. Your individual candidacy will be determined during your skincare consultation to ensure the right serums are selected for your needs.

What should you not do before a Hydrafacial?

Prior to your Hydrafacial appointment, you should not use any harsh or exfoliating skincare products or receive any facial or peel treatments. Injections such as Botox and dermal fillers should be completed at least 1-2 weeks prior to the Hydrafacial. You should also not shave or expose your skin to the sun for at least a few days prior. Be sure to schedule your appointment at least 2 days before any big event to ensure your skin has time to settle after treatment as well.

Are there any downsides to a Hydrafacial?

You may find that your skin feels a little tight immediately after treatment, and you may experience some mild redness, though this should fade within a day or so. Some patients may experience mild breakouts or blemishes due to the suction lifting deep impurities and congestion.

What serum would I need?

There are numerous different types of serums, also called boosters, with various capacities that they can help treat. Your specific treatment plan and boosters will differ depending on what your skin needs and goals are. Scheduling a consultation with a provider will allow you to discuss your treatment plan to best fit your individual skincare needs.

Is a Hydrafacial suitable for all skin types?

Yes. A Hydrafacial is suitable and safe for all skin types and tones. If you would like to know more about if a Hydrafacial is right for you, schedule a consultation at Michigan Plastic Surgery.

How often should I get a Hydrafacial for optimal results?

Just one Hydrafacial treatment can produce incredible results. To fully reap the benefits and achieve a more lasting solution to skin concerns, it is best to receive a Hydrafacial treatment every 4 to 6 weeks.

What are the benefits of a Hydrafacial?

A Hydrafacial provides deep cleansing, exfoliation, extraction of impurities, deep hydration, and antioxidant protection all in one treatment, resulting in clearer, hydrated, and more radiant skin. It also helps to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and hyperpigmentation, making it a versatile solution for various skin concerns. Hydrafacial is also great because it requires little to no downtime.

What can I expect during and after Hydrafacial treatment?

During a Hydrafacial treatment, you can expect a relaxing and painless process involving cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration, all delivered through a specialized device. After the treatment, your skin will feel refreshed and hydrated, with minimal redness or irritation, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately.
