ALL ABOUT HYDRAFACIAL: WHAT IT IS, WHAT IT'S FOR, AND WHEN TO DO IT!!!

Clean and nourished skin in a single step: let us explore together with the expert this advanced facial treatment preview for The right skincare for every age

Deeply cleanse the skin, removing impurities and excess grease, while at the same time nourishing it with antioxidant and skin-firming components: how to do it? If this is not possible with a classic cleansing method, nor with the best facial steam baths , technology comes to our aid. With its innovative machines, it allows performing facial treatments with advanced techniques that combine several actions in one. One of these is the hydrafacial, a method much appreciated by celebrities worldwide and increasingly spreading in beauty centers throughout Italy. To find out if it suits us, and thus discover exactly what it is, its benefits, and how this advanced tool works, we asked an expert. Answering our questions is Yana Batalova, Beauty Consultant and owner of Yanabeauté, Medical Studio, at Via Mercato 5, Brera Milan.

What is hydrafacial? What is it for?

Hydrafacial is an advanced facial treatment that, in just 30/40 minutes, allows deep cleansing, effective exfoliation thanks to a controlled vacuum system, and hydration of the skin’s protective layer through the delivery of moisturizing and firming active ingredients. The result will be immediately visible: a clearer, brighter complexion, firmer and visibly hydrated skin thanks to the overall reoxygenation of the tissues.

For which skin types is it suitable?

Hydrafacial is recommended for men and women of all ages, with skin that is either clogged or dry, oily or combination. This is due to its dual function of cleansing and at the same time hydrating the skin tissue. It is not suitable for hypersensitive skin, very reactive skin, or skin suffering from fragile capillaries: capillaries can break more easily during the skin stimulation caused by the machines.

How does hydrafacial work?

From a technical point of view, after a full check of each client’s skin condition, a relaxing and very gentle facial cleansing is performed. This is followed by the second and third steps, exfoliation and hydration respectively, carried out by a handpiece equipped with a special system featuring a vortex that extracts impurities from the pores and simultaneously injects into the skin the nourishment it needs through specific revitalizing serums.

How often should it be repeated and for how long?

The frequency of undergoing this treatment depends on several factors: besides the beauty habits of each client, also on the skin and the type of blemish this treatment aims to resolve. For more oily and greasy skin, hydrafacial is the ideal solution for an intense purification to be done in the spring and summer periods every 10-14 days. The same applies to dry-prone skin: just replace the active ingredients with highly moisturizing substances, making this treatment - to be done monthly - a long-life elixir, a true precious ally against wrinkles.
