Bothered by Dry Skin? Consider a Hydrafacial®

There are many reasons why people get dry skin, and this time of year is certainly a big factor. Between the cold temps outside and the hot, dry heat inside, that summer glow can quickly fade away.

The good news is that we can recapture that dewy glow with a cutting-edge facial treatment — the Hydrafacial®.

The Hydrafacial is a popular choice here at Dutch Hollow Medical Day Spa, especially for clients who are struggling with dry skin. Below, our team dives into the 7 benefits that make the Hydrafacial really shine — and your skin, too!

1. Lymphatic drainage

During your Hydrafacial, we use a specialized tool that we run across the surface of your skin to encourage lymphatic drainage, which addresses any puffiness in your face.

2. Microdermabrasion

During your Hydrafacial, we also perform a microdermabrasion to remove dirt, debris, and dead skin cells from the surface of your skin.

3. Customized peel

We perform a peel that targets your specific skin concerns to reduce the appearance of blemishes and encourage a more even texture.

4. Extraction

Did you know that dry skin is common as you age, as we lose sebum production? Sebum is the oil that nourishes and hydrates skin, so this loss leads to increasingly drier skin.

During your Hydrafacial, we perform an extraction process that clears out your pores so that sebum can flow more freely.

5. Serum infusions

Once we thoroughly cleanse your skin and clean out the pores, we can tailor your Hydrafacial to your skin’s specific needs. Since we’re discussing dry and dehydrated skin, we can use a serum that targets this concern.

6. LED light therapy

During your Hydrafacial, we can use LED light therapy to encourage a cellular response in your skin that can lift and tighten skin from below.

7. Hydration infusion

Now, we get to the final hydration push that the Hydrafacial is famous for. During this last step, we infuse your skin with an antioxidant-rich formula that will leave it glowing with vitality and health.

Hydrafacial and microneedling

While the Hydrafacial alone is a fantastic way to tackle dry, dull skin, we’ve had great success combining the facial with microneedling. We recommend this because the Hydrafacial makes your skin incredibly receptive to microneedling, which is a facial that goes a little deeper to encourage collagen production that will lift and tighten aging skin.

As you can see, not only can we hydrate dry skin with the Hydrafacial, we can also take care of a wide range of other issues, such as fine lines, sagging skin, surface blemishes, and more.

The best part? There’s no real downtime after your Hydrafacial and microneedling, so you can get right back to your busy life while looking better than ever.
