Hydrafacial
Hydrafacial in Indiranagar for dull, congested or dehydrated skin. It cleans, exfoliates and hydrates in one session with no peeling, and at Theory of Skin it is chosen after a dermatologist looks at your skin.
A Hydrafacial in Bangalore is often booked for one of two reasons: skin that looks tired and clogged after weeks of pollution and humidity, or an event coming up soon. It suits both, because it gives a visible glow without any peeling.
What is a Hydrafacial?
A Hydrafacial is a medical facial done with a handpiece that cleans and exfoliates the skin, draws out congestion from the pores with gentle suction and infuses hydrating serums. It relies on suction and serums rather than strong acids, so the skin does not peel afterwards.
The steps
- Cleanse and exfoliate: the top layer of dead skin is lifted gently.
- Extraction: the handpiece uses suction to clear blackheads and congestion from the pores.
- Hydration: serums are infused to leave the skin plump and even.
- Protection: moisturiser and sunscreen finish the session.
Who a Hydrafacial suits
- Dull, tired or dehydrated skin.
- Blackheads, whiteheads and congested pores.
- Anyone who wants a glow before an event without any peeling.
- Regular upkeep between stronger treatments such as peels or laser.
It is not the right choice during an active flare of cystic acne, rosacea or eczema. Those need clinical treatment first.
Results, downtime and how often
Skin looks cleaner and brighter straight away, and there is no downtime, so you can go back to work the same day. The glow usually lasts about a week. For ongoing benefit, most people book a Hydrafacial every four to six weeks.
Hydrafacial or chemical peel?
A Hydrafacial is best for an instant, no-downtime glow and clean pores. A chemical peel goes further for acne, tan and pigmentation, but needs a series and some peeling. Many plans alternate the two.
