What Is Dermabrasion?
Dermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that involves exfoliating the skin using a specialized device. It targets various skin concerns, such as acne scars, wrinkles, and uneven texture. Dermabrasion in any form goes well beyond the mild exfoliation you can do at home with a loofa exfoliant scrub cream or skincare product alone. Where home exfoliation is intended just to help stimulate skin and keep it looking healthy — dermabrasion changes and renews the surface of the skin and improves its texture.
Pros of Dermabrasion:
- Effective Resurfacing: Dermabrasion removes the outermost layer of skin, promoting new cell growth and improving skin texture.
- Versatility: Suitable for treating scars, fine lines, and sun damage.
- Long-Lasting Results: Results can last for years.
Cons of Dermabrasion:
- Downtime: Recovery can take several weeks, with redness, swelling, and peeling.
- Discomfort: The procedure can be painful, requiring anesthesia.
- Risk of Complications: Infection, scarring, and changes in skin pigmentation are possible
The Trouble With Some Dermabraison Procedures
For many years, conventional dermabrasion and microdermabrasion were the only options for people seeking to renew the surface of their skin and improve its texture in a short period of time. Dermabrasion is effective and that’s why it’s still in use today.
The problem is that traditional dermabrasion and even microdermabrasion often irritate the skin leaving it sensitive, red, and swollen for some time after the procedure. Aside from the discomfort and anesthesia being necessary for dermabrasion. There is also some risk of infection, scarring, or changes in skin pigmentation.
What About Microdermabrasion?
While microdermabrasion is minimally invasive, it can still irritate the skin and does not offer all of the benefits of conventional dermabrasion or a HydraFacial.
The Restorative Benefits of The HydraFacial Treatment
The discomfort and recovery time associated with conventional dermabrasion and irritation and redness after microdermabrasion created an opportunity for a better option. We’re happy to say that option has arrived and it’s called HydraFacial.
The HydraFacial System serves to deeply cleanse and exfoliate the skin with a gentle peel. It also extracts impurities from the pores with gentle suction (Vortex Fusion). Finally, it hydrates by saturating the skin with intensive moisturizers and a proprietary antioxidant formula.
What is HydraFacial?
HydraFacial is a revolutionary hydro microdermabrasion treatment that utilizes water and gentle extraction to achieve superior results to standard microdermabrasion. The specialized HydraFacial device uses Vortex Fusion technology and Hydropeel tips to loosen and gently extract dead skin cells and debris using the power of water.
Why is HydraFacial Superior to Conventional Microdermabrasion?
Our clients at The Herschthal Practice prefer HydraFacials for several reasons. First, they eliminate the discomfort associated with microdermabrasion. HydraFacial is even more effective than the ‘old method’ while being gentler to the face.
Are There Any Special Benefits to HydraFacial?
Yes, unlike conventional microdermabrasion, HydraFacial uses the gentle power of water. This not only avoids irritation, discomfort, and redness — but it also serves to hydrate the skin. The proprietary solution used in HydraFacil also infuses the skin with antioxidants that work to combat the damaging effects of free radicals.
