Facials are multi-step skincare routines that can help your skin keep looking its best.

Available at Pittman Plastic Surgery in Athens, GA, HydraFacial is expertly designed to improve skin tone, texture, and overall appearance. This versatile treatment effectively tackles acne, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation, providing a comprehensive solution for healthier, more radiant skin. Whether you want to rejuvenate your skin or address specific concerns, HydraFacial offers a path to glowing, beautiful skin.

How HydraFacial Works

HydraFacial employs advanced suction technology to cleanse pores, removing dirt, oil, and dead skin cells for better absorption of potent booster ingredients. Using its Vortex-Fusion system, the treatment hydrates the skin with nutrient-rich serums tailored to individual needs. The multi-step process includes deep cleansing, exfoliation, and antioxidant-rich hydration, addressing inflammation, breakouts, and uneven texture. Additionally, HydraFacial boosts collagen production and improves circulation, offering anti-aging benefits and ensuring oxygen and nutrients reach all skin layers.

Combining HydraFacial Treatment with Other Procedures

HydraFacial can be combined with various treatments to enhance its effects. Pairing it with BOTOX® Cosmetic, an FDA-approved injectable, can smooth frown lines and crow’s feet by relaxing facial muscles. Dermal fillers, HA-based, restore volume, enhance contours, and soften wrinkles. Common treatment areas include tear troughs, cheeks, smile and puppet lines, chin, jawline, lip lines, and hands. Also, laser skin resurfacing can address sun damage, scars, and wrinkles, further optimizing cosmetic results. 

 

Why is HydraFacial good for skin?

HydraFacial combines the benefits of two highly effective skin treatments – chemical peels and microdermabrasion. A HydraFacial treatment is performed with mechanized spiral wands that generate a whirling force using VORTEX-FUSION TECHNOLOGY. This technology allows this treatment to remove impurities trapped on the skin. HydraFacial is a hydra-dermabrasion device gentler on your skin than a conventional dermabrasion tool.

A patented vacuum attachment sucks out dirt and debris from deep within pores. Finally, another HydraFacial specific attachment is used to apply nourishing, hydrating, and anti-inflammatory serums to give your skin the boost it needs.

 

Before, during, and after

What To Expect Before a HydraFacial Treatment

Our expert aestheticians in Athens are committed to helping you achieve your skincare goals. We tailor our facials to every complexion and provide a complimentary consultation to determine the ideal treatment.  

What To Expect During a HydraFacial Treatment

Your HydraFacial experience begins with a deep cleanse and exfoliation to remove impurities and dead skin cells from your complexion. Following this, a gentle peel containing glycolic and salicylic acids is applied for 2-5 minutes, smoothing your skin and enhancing absorption. Next, we utilize HydraFacial’s innovative Vortex-Extraction™ technology paired with a HydroPeel spiral tip for painless extractions of blemishes and blackheads. The treatment concludes with a peptide-rich HydraFacial serum, designed to nourish, hydrate, and impart a youthful glow to your skin. 

What To Expect After a HydraFacial Treatment

After your HydraFacial, you might experience redness and sensitivity, which usually subside within a day or two. With regular treatments, you can expect noticeable improvements in your skin tone and texture and a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines. 

Frequently Asked Questions

HydraFacial is a patented, science-backed treatment that consistently gives excellent results, even in sensitive skin. Moreover, HydraFacial is gentle enough that it does not trigger redness, irritation, inflammation, peeling, breakouts, or scarring. Yet, a HydraFacial does much more than a basic facial, all with a very low risk of side effects and no downtime. So, you can get a HydraFacial before a big event and enjoy an extra glow on the big day. As always, every procedure is safer when performed by a trained medical professional. All of our HydraFacial procedures are delivered by State-Licensed Medical Aesthetician, Tabatha Bourchier.

 

No, a HydraFacial is not at all painful.  In fact, it is a gentle spa-like experience that feels like a relaxing massage.  The treatment takes just 30 minutes to perform.  You can return to your normal routine right away.

 

Everyone’s skin is different. A complimentary consultation with our aesthetician, Tabatha, will go a long way in determining which routine is the right one for you. In general, most patients do well with a series of HydraFacial treatments spaced out every 4-6 weeks. The goal is to help you maintain dewy skin with a healthy radiance.

 

There is no special skincare between HydraFacial treatments, except avoiding makeup for 24 hours and exfoliants for 48 hours to give your skin some rest. Also, you can discuss any skincare products, tips, and routines with our aesthetician. We are experts at developing a customized skincare plan that can fit into anyone’s budget.

 

Yes, HydraFacial is a gentle treatment, and it can easily be combined with other cosmetic treatments like dermal fillers, Botox, and non-ablative light treatments. You can also get a HydraFacial 1-2 weeks after laser skin resurfacing to support your skin with deep hydration and nourishment while it heals.

 

HydraFacial differs from a traditional facial due to its innovative approach and advanced technology. While both treatments aim to cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, and protect your skin, HydraFacial uses a patented vacuum-based device to gently remove impurities, providing a sensation like a light massage. This method not only feels more soothing but also leads to longer-lasting effects. The benefits of a HydraFacial typically last longer, but it comes at a higher cost due to the specialized equipment and nutrient-rich serums involved. While traditional facials are known for their relaxing and circulation-boosting benefits, HydraFacials go further by reducing inflammation, fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation.

HydraFacial treats all skin types, including sensitive, oily, dry, combination, and acne-prone skin. It is versatile and helps to balance oil production, hydrate dry areas, and reduce inflammation. It is best for individuals seeking to address fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne, or congested pores. The HydraFacial exfoliates dead skin cells, extracts impurities, and infuses nourishing serums to help achieve a youthful and vibrant complexion.

To ensure your skin is ready for a HydraFacial, avoid exfoliating or harsh skincare products beforehand, as they can cause irritation and reduce the procedure’s effectiveness. Additionally, steer clear of prolonged sun exposure and be diligent about applying sunscreen to protect your skin. Lastly, discontinue using Retin-A products at least three nights before your appointment.

A HydraFacial enhances skin texture and tone through multiple steps. It exfoliates with a water-based solution to remove dead skin cells, extracts impurities, unclogs pores with a vacuum-like wand, and infuses the skin with hydrating serums tailored to your skin type. A gentle acid peel exfoliates and brightens the skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment also promotes collagen production for a firmer, more youthful appearance.

You can expect an instantly brighter, clearer, and smoother complexion with a noticeable glow following the HydraFacial treatment. Consistent sessions can improve your skin’s overall health and appearance.
