"Facial" is a broad word for very different treatments. A classic mechanical facial is traumatic and needs recovery time. HydraFacial works more gently: a special vortex technology cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates the skin with serums all at once - without any squeezing.
How HydraFacial works
At its heart is vortex technology. The handpiece creates a swirl of fluid that:
- softens and flushes out the contents of the pores (rather than squeezing them);
- exfoliates dead cells with an acid peel;
- simultaneously delivers hydrating and antioxidant serums.
The skin is cleansed and instantly saturated with actives - hence the immediate glow with no redness.
Compared with a classic facial
| Criterion | HydraFacial | Mechanical facial |
|---|---|---|
| Method | vortex flushing | manual squeezing |
| Discomfort | comfortable | noticeable |
| Redness afterwards | almost none | several hours to a day |
| Hydration | built into the treatment | separate |
| Downtime | none | yes |
At SOLAR, HydraFacial is performed on a certified medical device, not a cheap replica - and that determines both the result and the safety. Clean, hydrated skin and a glow straight after the session.
More about HydraFacialWho it suits
- Dull, dehydrated skin - both "for an occasion" and on a regular basis.
- Enlarged pores and blackheads without pronounced inflammation.
- A first step before LED/photodynamic therapy or a course of treatments.
- Sensitive skin for which a traumatic facial is not advisable.
How often to have it
To maintain the result - roughly every 3-4 weeks. A one-off treatment is a great way to refresh the skin before an important day.
