Hydrafacial in Chicago

A facial is a non-invasive procedure performed to address clogged pores, improve acne and acne scarring, remove blackheads, and rejuvenate the skin. A HydraFacial treatment accomplishes all of these things and more without the pain and discomfort of a regular facial and without requiring any downtime.

All the benefits of a facial, with no discomfort

If you have always had a regular facial, you may be surprised to learn that there is a less painful alternative. Although facials aren’t generally all that painful, it is common to feel a bit of discomfort, particularly during the extraction process (when your aesthetician or doctor presses down on your skin to remove dirt and debris from clogged pores). A HydraFacial treatment not only eliminates this type of pain from a facial but more importantly, it offers additional benefits that you may not find in a standard facial.

Improve your skin in three different ways

A HydraFacial treatment uses a device that can accomplish three things at the same time: exfoliation, extraction and hydration. As these three steps occur simultaneously, the procedure takes no more than 30 minutes to complete. A HydraFacial rejuvenates the skin in the following ways:

Removes dead skin cells and dirt
Unclogs the pores
Leaves the skin supple and healthy

The hydration step in the process is the added benefit that you won’t normally find in a standard facial. The best part is the hydrating solution, which includes various serums and antioxidants to protect the skin from environmental pollution while also keeping it supple and healthy.

What skin concerns does a HydraFacial treatment address?

Patients dealing with the following skin imperfections or issues are ideal candidates for a HydraFacial procedure:

Acne and acne scarring
Fine lines
Wrinkles
Loss of skin elasticity or firmness
Uneven skin tone
Dull skin
Dry skin
Blackheads
Oily skin
Age spots and brown spots

A HydraFacial procedure also improves skin texture and the skin’s overall health and appearance. It is your all-in-one solution to various common skin issues. This is why it is one of the most popular non-invasive cosmetic procedures in the country today.

Who can’t have a HydraFacial?

Anyone with a skin blemish they wish to improve is generally eligible for a HydraFacial treatment. Exceptions include clients with a rosacea flare or rashes on the face. Your doctor or aesthetician will first check your skin condition, inquire about your overall health, and discuss your treatment goals before you can be scheduled for treatment. It is important to be open and honest about your expectations so your doctor can discuss with you whether these are realistic expectations or not. Remember that a HydraFacial treatment is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure, and results may not compare to those from a more invasive treatment.

How often will I need a HydraFacial?

At Gold Coast Plastic Surgery in Chicago, a HydraFacial results in smoother, plumper, and healthier skin. If you wish to maintain your results, we advise you to schedule a HydraFacial treatment every 4 to 6 weeks. Since it’s non-invasive and does not use harmful solutions, you won’t have to worry about damaging your skin with frequent facials.

No downtime

This non-invasive facial rejuvenation technique requires no downtime or recovery. This means you can immediately go about your day after your treatment. Additionally, unlike with other non-invasive facial treatments, a HydraFacial does not require you to skip your makeup routine post-procedure. You can apply makeup as you usually would immediately after the procedure if you wish to.

Other benefits of the HydraFacial include:

It is effective on all skin types.
It is generally safe for everyone.
Treatment can be customized according to your needs and aesthetic goals. Customization may include additional boosters or serums for the skin.
It can be combined with other non-invasive treatments, such as injectables.

How do I prepare for my HydraFacial at Gold Coast Plastic Surgery in Chicago?

There is not much you need to do to prepare for the procedure. If you’re using external exfoliants and retinol-based products, you may be asked to refrain from using these for one week before treatment to minimize the risk of irritation or sensitivity.
