What is the Platinum Package Hydrafacial?
The Platinum Hydrafacial is a premium skincare treatment that combines the benefits of hydradermabrasion, chemical peels, automated painless extractions, and infusion of customized serums. This multi-step procedure helps to cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin, while addressing various skin concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, congested pores, and uneven texture. The “platinum” version includes additional specialized serums and enhancements for an even more comprehensive and luxurious experience.
How does the Platinum Package work?
The Platinum Hydrafacial works through a multi-step process designed to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and rejuvenate the skin. Here’s how it typically works:
Cleansing: The treatment begins with a gentle cleansing of the skin to remove any makeup, dirt, and oil on the surface.
Exfoliation: A specialized device is used to exfoliate the skin’s outermost layer, removing dead skin cells and revealing a fresher complexion underneath. This step helps to improve skin texture and radiance.
Extraction: The device uses a vacuum-like suction to painlessly extract impurities from the pores, including blackheads, whiteheads, and excess oil. This step can help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and improve skin clarity.
Serum Infusion: Customized serums containing nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, antioxidants, and other beneficial compounds are infused into the skin. These serums are tailored to address specific skin concerns such as hydration, fine lines, and pigmentation issues.
Hydration: The infusion of serums also helps to replenish the skin’s moisture balance, leaving it hydrated and plump.
Protection: The treatment usually concludes with the application of a moisturizer and sunscreen to protect the skin from environmental damage.
The Platinum HydraFacial includes LED LIGHT THERAPY and LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE THERAPY.
LED light therapy is a professional strength LED Light Therapy that converts into cellular energy to soften full face wrinkles and calm acne and inflammation.
Wrinkle Mode (red) decreases signs of aging and appearance of redness.
Acne Mode (blue) targets and disrupts p. acnes bacteria and improves oily and congested skin
Lymphatic therapy helps remove impurities from the skin to lift and contour while reducing the appearance of puffiness.
How long do results last?
The duration of the results from a Hydrafacial treatment can vary depending on several factors, including your skin type, skincare routine, lifestyle, and how well you follow post-treatment care. On average, the immediate benefits of a Hydrafacial can last for about 1 to 4 weeks. However, for longer-lasting and more significant improvements, it’s often recommended to undergo regular maintenance treatments.
- Consultation: Schedule a consultation with a skincare professional or aesthetician who will assess your skin type and specific concerns. This will help determine if a Hydrafacial is suitable for your skin and what areas need more attention.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: In the days leading up to your Hydrafacial, try to minimize sun exposure and avoid tanning beds. Sunburned or irritated skin can be more sensitive during the treatment.
- Cleansing: Gently cleanse your face with a mild cleanser on the day of your Hydrafacial. Avoid exfoliating or using harsh scrubs before the treatment.
- Avoid Certain Skincare Products: Avoid using retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and other potentially irritating skincare products for a few days prior to your treatment. These ingredients can make your skin more sensitive and reactive during the Hydrafacial.
- Throughout the entire process, you may feel a slight suction and a cool, wet sensation as the HydraPeel tip glides over your skin. The treatment is generally well-tolerated and comfortable, with minimal discomfort or pain.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Direct sun exposure can be harmful to your skin, especially after a treatment. Apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 before going outside, and try to stay out of direct sunlight for a few days following the treatment.
- Moisturize: Continue to moisturize your skin regularly to maintain hydration and promote healing. Use a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin nourished.
- Avoid Harsh Products: For the first few days after your Hydrafacial, avoid using products with strong active ingredients like retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and strong exfoliants. Your skin may be more sensitive during this time.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within. Hydration is key to maintaining the results of your Hydrafacial.
- Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser to keep your skin clean without stripping away its natural moisture. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleansers.
- Avoid Touching Your Face: Try to avoid touching or picking at your skin in the days following the treatment. This helps prevent irritation and potential infection.
- Avoid Saunas and Steam: Avoid exposing your skin to excessive heat, such as saunas, hot tubs, and steam rooms, for a couple of days after the treatment.
