6 Powerful Steps of the HydraFacial Skin Treatment

Have you ever had "that moment"?

Maybe you're putting on your makeup and you lean in to really study your skin for a minute. Or you're sitting at a red light and you look in the rearview mirror, catch a glimpse of your forehead, and wonder how long it's looked like that. "That moment" - when you realise your skin is just not as firm, healthy, and glowing as you'd like.

There is no denying the effect ageing has on the skin. The natural turnover of skin cells that replaces old, dull skin with fresh new cells slows down. The buildup of dead skin cells not only makes the surface of the skin look dull and dry, it also makes it harder for skin care ingredients to penetrate and do their work.

As if that weren't enough, we lose collagen in our skin as we age. After the age of 20, we produce 1% less collagen every year. Collagen is what gives young skin its taut, resilient, pliable tone.

To complicate matters, lymphatic circulation also slows, especially if we don't get enough exercise. Toxins are caught in the stagnant lymph.

But there is hope!

At Qutis Clinics we offer the innovative HydroFacial treatment to help you fight back.

Make no mistake, this is not just a simple facial. This is science-backed treatment with beautiful benefits for your skin. It delivers long-lasting results, yet is gentle enough for sensitive skin and even for people who have rosacea.

Let's take a look at the 6 steps of the HydroFacial, and what they can do for you.

1. Detox. This step is going to increase lymphatic circulation in your skin. Better lymphatic circulation not only helps move out toxins but also increases blood flow, providing extra oxygen to invigorate the skin. The skin is hydrated and supported by fresh lymph, restoring tone and firmness.
2. Cleansing and Exfoliation. A vacuum-based abrasion tip will gently smooth away dead skin cells while delivering serum directly to the fresh new skin beneath. This serum is brimming with ingredients to revitalise and support your skin, such as lactic acid, glucosamine, antioxidants, and botanical extracts, all of which are customised to treat your skin's needs.
3. Brightening Agent. Now that pore-blocking old skin cells have been swept away, a glycolic and salicylic solution is applied to gently break up congestion in the pores. This will brighten your skin and at the same time prep the pores for the next step.
4. Extraction. Unlike many facials, the extraction process is very gentle. Salicylic acid and honey are used to draw out blackheads and other impurities. This is an important step to ensure your pores are clean and able to benefit from the tightening effects of the treatment.
5. Hydration. Now that your pores are clear and dead skin cells have been removed, your fresh new skin is ready to be treated. This step nourishes your skin and drenches it in moisture, with a mix of potent antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and peptides and multi-peptides to support collagen. This step will leave your skin soft and plump with moisture, combating the appearance of wrinkles.
6. Rejuvenation. Finally, red and infrared LED light is applied. This will soothe your skin, reducing redness, and stimulate the production of collagen. It even helps your skin naturally produce vitamin D. You will be left with skin that feels soft, smooth, and invigorated.
   

This remarkably effective treatment can be modified to target a range of concerns, including anti-ageing, pigmentation reduction, acne and congested skin, and rosacea.

Your Qutis practitioner will work with you to pinpoint the treatments that will benefit you most. You can also combine the HydraFacial with other treatments, such as hair removal or intense pulsed light therapy.

There's no need to accept the dulling effects of ageing. Let our trained practitioners help you fight back with powerful therapies that support the health of your skin. Our HydraFacial treatment will not only help you look your best, it will leave your skin feeling wonderful too.
