Frequently asked questions about the HydraFacial treatment
At Current Dermatology and Cosmetic Center of Annapolis, Maryland, our Board-certified dermatologists are excited to offer a treatment that boosts skin appearance and health quickly and easily: the HydraFacial. Below are some of the frequently asked questions regarding this treatment:
What is the HydraFacial?
Drs. Molly Walterhoefer and Megan Casady Flahive of Current Dermatology and Cosmetic Center describe HydraFacial as a revolutionary breakthrough in skincare technology. It is a non-invasive, multi-step, device-powered facial that combines exfoliation, extraction, and hydration to improve overall skin health and appearance, allowing patients to achieve that healthy glow they’ve always wanted!
How does the HydraFacial work?
The HydraFacial treatment uses patented technology, which creates a vortex effect that easily dissolves and removes impurities while simultaneously delivering hydrating serums deep into the skin.
What are the steps taken during a HydraFacial treatment?
The treatment consists of three main steps: exfoliation, extraction, and hydration. Each of these steps are highly customizable based on each individual’s skin concerns.
- Exfoliation. During this first step, any dead skin cells are gently removed to reveal healthier, smoother skin underneath. This helps with the overall texture and appearance of the skin.
- Extraction. The HydraFacial uses a painless suction process to remove impurities such as blackheads and excess oil from pores. This step helps to unclog pores and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores.
- Hydration. In the final step, a blend of hydrating serums is infused into the skin to nourish and protect it. This improves skin tone, texture, and overall radiance.
How long does a HydraFacial treatment take?
The HydraFacial treatment usually takes around 30 minutes to complete. However, this may vary depending on one’s individual skin concerns and needs, so talk with our team at Current Dermatology and Cosmetic Center of Annapolis, Maryland, during a consultation appointment to find out how long your service will be, and how many treatments you will need to achieve results.
Is the HydraFacial appropriate for all skin types?
The HydraFacial skincare treatment is both safe and effective for all skin types. Whether you have dry, oily, sensitive, or combination skin, the treatment can be customized to assist with your specific concerns. However, it is always recommended to consult with a licensed skincare professional before undergoing any treatment.
