The Hydrafacial® treatment employs a unique spiral design and a basic five-step process. During the cleansing and exfoliating stage (Step 1), inactive skin cells are removed to make way for healthy, new skin. During Step 2 the skin is exposed to a very gentle, painless acid peel that loosens dirt and debris in the pores. Step 3, uses the unique Hydrafacial® procedures referred to as “vortex action” (facilitated by that spiral design) to clean out the skin’s pores. The final two steps both intensely hydrate the skin—which nourishes and protect—and protection provides your tissue with the necessary nutrients to preserve the new, radiant look the treatment provides. The cycle works by renewing and healing your skin tissue.
