What is hydrodermabrasion? – GOOD SHAPE

In addition to medical procedures, there are those that are indicated for exfoliation and improvement of skin quality. In this context, microdermabrasion treatments first appeared, a non-surgical exfoliation procedure that aims to promote skin rejuvenation by removing dead cells. However, this type of procedure can make the skin more sensitive and, along with the skin cells, the abrasion generated on the skin also strips it of moisture.

That’s why the HydraFacial hydrodermabrasion procedure came onto the market. Based on an experience of at least 30 minutes in at least 3 steps, this procedure manages to clean while providing hydration and maintaining the health of the skin tissue. HydraFacial has the exclusive and patented technology Vortex-Fusion®️, which generates a vortex effect to expel and easily remove impurities from the skin while providing hydration, which is the main point to differentiate the experience of a microdermabrasion or skin cleansing – that pokes, injures and makes the skin burn. This procedure, on the contrary, does not hurt, does not dry out, has no downtime. It’s a completely painless procedure, which ensures healthier, hydrated skin, with more vigor and a soft and smooth touch.

HydraFacial protocols can be completely customized to meet the specific characteristics and needs of each skin type, with boosters, peels, LED’s, perks and lymphatic therapy.

In this procedure, the first step consists of a personalized cleaning and exfoliation. The Activ-4 solution is applied to remove dead cells, accelerate cell renewal and even out skin tone. The equipment comes into action with a tip that, in contact with the skin, softens dead cells and impurities and removes them. Then, an acid peeling is applied together with the green-blue tip, which also acts to extract blackheads and closed comedones (whiteheads) through a vacuum and a combination of salicylic acid and alpha-hydroxy acids (glycolic acid and mandelic acid , among others), which also hydrate the skin. Finally, step three is hydration and repair with antioxidants, along with the transparent tip. But, before step three, it is still possible to customize the patient’s experience by applying boosters with highly concentrated actives to act on lighting (Booster Britenol), to smooth fine lines (Booster Dermabuilder) or provide prolonged hydration (Booster Nassif MD), together with LEDs (red for healing action and improvement of circulation; blue for bactericidal action). This protocol is done in 45 minutes. And in the case of the Platinum protocol, done in 60 minutes, first of all a lymphatic therapy is performed, which helps to detoxify and reduce inflammation.

This is a procedure suitable for everyone, regardless of skin type, but will especially benefit anyone with acne, oily, dull skin. Dry skin patients can also and will reap many benefits, especially prolonged hydration of the skin.
