HydraFacial: I tested Beyoncé’s favorite procedure –

The favorite experience of celebrities like Beyonce arrived in Brazil and I went to test it!

The Hydrafacial is the forerunner of a concept known as Beauty Health, which consists not only of improving the appearance, but also of promoting a complete restoration of the health of the skin and, thus, leaving it with a better appearance.

“The treatment helps to even out the tone and texture and increase the firmness, vigor, softness and glow of the skin, thanks to the Vortex-Fusion®️ technology present in the tips. Combined with the equipment’s vacuum suction technology, the treatment is also able to expel and easily remove impurities from the skin while providing hydrating solutions,” explains the dermatologist. Dr. Monica Aribimember of the Brazilian Society of Dermatology and the Brazilian Society of Dermatological Surgery.

According to the specialist, the great advantage of the experience is precisely the fact that it is able to clean and exfoliate efficiently but without aggression, while promoting hydration, unlike microdermabrasion and skin cleansing treatments that can irritate the skin during the procedure.

HOW IS THE EXPERIENCE

I tested the procedure, consisting of several steps:

1

Lymphatic Therapy: “Performed right at the beginning of the experience, even before cleaning, lymphatic therapy promotes skin detoxification, helping to remove toxins and reducing inflammation of the skin tissue to make it healthier and invigorated”, he explains. Mika Yamaguchi, HydraFacial technical consultant. The tip used for this step is a kind of tube that makes a light suction. The professional “walks” with this tube through which the lymphatic liquid of the face travels, thus accelerating the renewal and removing swelling from the face.

Cleaning with chemical exfoliation: “The skin is cleaned with a blue tip that, together with the Activ-4 solution, deeply removes impurities and dead skin cells, unclogging pores and softening comedones, in addition to removing the stratum corneum, the most superficial layer of the skin. , to enhance the absorption of the actives that will be applied afterwards. After cleaning, with the aid of the green-blue tip, the GlySal Prep peel is applied, which combines Glycolic and Salicylic acids to perform a chemical exfoliation, accelerating cell renewal, reducing the thickness of the skin tissue, improving the uniformity of the skin and softening blackheads and comedones even more,” says Mika.

3

Impurity extraction: The next step is the mechanical extraction of blackheads and comedones, which is carried out in a vacuum with the blue-green tip. This is a big plus, in my opinion, because you see the blackheads and comedones coming out but without your skin having to be squeezed.

At the same time that the extraction is carried out, the tip releases the Beta HD-Clear solution, capable of promoting skin hydration.

4

Application of antioxidants for protection: “Here, the transparent tip is used to apply an antioxidant solution, which can be Antiox+, a mixture of multipeptides and antioxidants designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve hydration and elasticity, or Antiox-6, specific for sensitive skin”, highlights Mika.

5

Perks for eyes and mouth: The experience also offers specific perks for the treatment of the eye and mouth region, which can be applied alone or in conjunction with the protocols. “The HydraFacial Perk Eyes Serum brightens, hydrates and firms the skin around the eyes, while the HydraFacial Perk Lips Serum hydrates and gently exfoliates the lips, in addition to providing a temporary volumizing effect,” says Mika Yamaguchi. Perks are partially applied during the experience and the patient takes the remainder of the product to apply at home and maintain the results.

RESULT

The session lasted 60 minutes (if you choose the base protocol, which only includes steps 2, 3, and 4, the treatment takes 30 minutes) and, although I didn’t have many blackheads in the session, I could see some that have been removed. Also, the appearance of my pores has shrunk and my skin has an instant glow of health.

Today, a week after the procedure, my skin still looks clean, perhaps because of the light peeling that the acids promote, removing blemishes and preventing new blackheads from appearing so soon.

It’s a great treatment for when you need smooth skin for an event. And it can be done days in advance or even just before, as it doesn’t leave any redness.
