So, your summer activities are all scheduled, and you’re set!
Travel bag? Check. Eyeglasses and swimsuits? Yes, yes, yes! Name it: road trips, beach getaways, or a countryside vacation. What else did we miss?
But just as you thought everything was ready, for a second or two, you found yourself looking at the mirror (with your face closer and closer).
“This can’t be (with your head shaking in disbelief).”
Damaged, dull skin? Large pores? Dry skin feeling?
We get it!
And you’re not alone in this.
Summer is fun, yet it brings challenges to our skin.
Too much sun exposure can lead to dryness, lost elasticity, and (drum rolls!) premature aging!
Hot environments (including the beach) can produce more sweat, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), reduced skin pH, and greasiness.
What's worse? Applying multiple skincare products may do less than you expect, and it can be costly and time-consuming.
(Enough said.)
Here’s good news!
West Wilson Aesthetics’ HydraFacial, a revolutionary non-invasive treatment (with over 3 million treatments annually), may solve many of your summer skin problems.
Here’s why we’re deeming the HydraFacial the “facial of the summer” and why it continues to be the most popular facial here at West Wilson Aesthetics.
HydraFacial: The Facial of the Summer
The HydraFacial is one of the only facials that can improve skin tone, texture, and overall appearance in just one treatment session!
That’s because the HydraFacial is a multifaceted treatment. It performs deep exfoliation to clean pores, remove debris, and improve the absorption of facial serums.
The HydraFacial, through a patented device, uses Vortex-Fusion Technology to exfoliate the skin and to penetrate (serum) active ingredients deeper into it, leading to immediate and visible results.
In fact, many of our clients see instant, visible effects – such as that instant glow factor – as soon as they leave the med spa!
How is that possible? Here’s how it works:
The HydraFacial Process
Each HydraFacial treatment involves three essential steps:
- Cleanse: The process begins with a gentle peel that cleanses and exfoliates your skin, revealing a fresh layer of skin.
- Extract: Painless suction removes dead skin cells, dirt, and other impurities from your pores.
- Hydrate: Intense moisturizers and nourishing products are used to saturate your skin, enhancing the absorption of personalized ingredients.
This 3-in-1 treatment provides firming, brightening, and hydration benefits in just one session, leaving your skin with an instant wow factor.
Benefits of HydraFacial
Like all med spa treatments, there are pros and cons to be aware of.
Pros
- No Downtime: Often called a lunchtime treatment, HydraFacial takes only 30 minutes to an hour, allowing you to return to your normal routine immediately. Whether you're heading to the gym or back to work, there's no interruption.
- Multiple Benefits: HydraFacial cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, hydrates, and provides antioxidant protection—all in one session. It's ideal for busy individuals seeking comprehensive skincare results.
- Superior Results: HydraFacial offers deeper, longer-lasting results compared to traditional facials. It addresses various skin concerns such as hydration, fine lines, wrinkles, oily and congested skin, and pigmentation.
- Suitable for All Skin Types: One of the best parts about HydraFacial is its versatility; it works for all skin types.
Cons
- Maintenance: Perfect skin isn't achieved overnight. HydraFacials should be performed every four weeks for optimal results, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial.
- Temporary Results: Visible improvements typically last for five to seven days. For the best results, monthly treatments are recommended to address issues like brown spots, fine lines, and wrinkles.
- Not for Everyone: Those with sunburn or active rashes should avoid HydraFacial. Pregnant women should consult their dermatologist or obstetrician before undergoing the treatment.
Preparation & homecare
If you’re ready to book your HydraFacial appointment to look your best for summer, here are a few notes to prepare:
Preparation
- Don’t apply prescription facial creams a few days before the treatment to avoid skin irritation.
- Don't use exfoliating, waxing, and other acid-containing products on your face for at least two weeks before and after your HydraFacial.
- Remove makeup. Cleanse with a gentle product the night before your session.
Homecare / After Treatment
- Wear SPF-40.
- Hydrate with water.
- Avoid laser treatment, fillers, and Botox for at least two weeks.
- Avoid sun exposure as much as possible!
Final Thoughts
HydraFacial is the facial of the summer because it requires no downtime and is suitable for all skin types.
It also gives visible, instant results in one session, resulting in a radiant, young-looking, and rejuvenated skin tone. Yes, it’s that good!
