Do You Need A Hydrafacial? Take Our Quiz To Find Out

The hydrafacial treatment is a revolutionary new beauty treatment that will leave your skin feeling fresh and looking radiant. It’s perfect for people who want to spend less time in the salon, spa, or doctor’s office getting procedures done. There are many benefits to this treatment, but you might be wondering how long it takes and what you need to do before you get one of these treatments. In this article, we’ll tell you all about how to prepare for your first hydrafacial.

How Should You Prepare For A Hydrafacial?

    A hydrafacial is a non-invasive skin treatment that can improve the appearance of your skin in just one session. It’s perfect for all skin types and can be used to treat a variety of concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, enlarged pores, and acne. If you’re considering booking your first hydrafacial appointment, follow these five simple steps to prepare for the best possible results.

1. Cleanse Your Face

    Before you go in for a hydrafacial, make sure that your skin is clean and clear of any makeup or other creams. The esthetician will be using steam machines to open up the pores on your face before applying resurfacing products, so they must have access to all parts of your face during this process. You should also avoid exfoliating 24 hours before getting treatment because these procedures use suction devices which may cause abrasions if any dead skin cells are blocking them from being effective.

2. Avoid Sun Exposure

    Hydrafacial is very effective at removing sun damage from the skin, which can make it more likely for you to develop age spots or other types of discoloration. If there’s any chance that your skin has been exposed to sunlight before hydrafacial treatment, this could dramatically reduce its effectiveness. This is why you should avoid going outside on sunny days leading up to your appointment day and try wearing sunscreen if you have plans during these times. Your esthetician will be able to recommend specific products depending on what type of concerns they believe need addressing through a hydrafacial treatment.

3. Drink Plenty Of Water

    Your esthetician will be using steam machines and powerful suction devices during your hydrafacial treatment, which means that the skin on your face will be more vulnerable to dehydration. Drinking plenty of water before you get a hydrafacial is very important because it’s essential for maintaining healthy levels of hydration in all areas of your body, but especially around the affected area. Your skin might feel dry or tight after a facial if its moisture content isn’t at normal levels so drinking lots of water can help restore this balance quickly. You should also avoid drinking caffeinated beverages before getting a hydrafacial as these drinks may dehydrate you even further due to their diuretic properties. If possible, stick with green tea before getting the treatment so you’ll have plenty of antioxidants in your system.

4. Avoid Smoking

    Smoking is bad for your skin in general, but it’s especially harmful before a hydrafacial treatment. The smoke from cigarettes contains toxins that can aggravate the skin and lead to problems like premature wrinkles and age spots. In addition, smokers often have smaller blood vessels than nonsmokers, which means that the products used during a hydrafacial treatment won’t be able to reach as many of the cells in the treated area. If you’re unable to quit smoking completely, try cutting down on how much you smoke before your appointment day. If possible, try to abstain from smoking for at least 24 hours before getting a hydrafacial because this will the esthetician more time to work their magic and improve the appearance of your skin.

5. Arrive Relaxed And Ready To Relax

    The best way to prepare for a hydrafacial is to come into the appointment feeling relaxed. This means avoiding any stressful situations in the hours leading up to your treatment and taking some time for yourself before heading to the spa. If you’re feeling anxious, try reading a book or listening to calming music on the way there. The esthetician will go over all of the procedures that will be taking place during your treatment so you won’t feel nervous about what’s happening. You should also plan on spending at least an hour at the spa after your appointment so you can relax and enjoy the results of your hydrafacial.
