HydraFacial
HydraFacial is a treatment concept developed in the USA in the non-invasive skin revision segment. In simple terms, the treatment can also be described as a professional facial cleansing, which penetrates deep into the skin's pores. The procedure combines skin abrasion, deep cleansing and the dermal infusion of active ingredients in just one session. HydraFacial uses a unique, patented vortex fusion delivery system to exfoliate, extract and moisturize the skin. The vortex attachment of the handpiece resembles a small spiral and enables pain-free extractions.

Treatment at a Glance
The treatment
In a comprehensive discussion, the objectives and areas of application are first determined.
The treatment consists of 4 steps:
- It begins with hydradermabrasion. The dead skin cells on the surface are gently removed, the skin opens up and the healthy, fresh skin layer appears.
- In this step, a glycolic acid peel is applied. The deposits in the pores expand and prepare the skin for deep cleansing.
- The aim of deep cleansing is to painlessly remove deposits from pores and sebaceous ducts. This frees the skin of impurities such as blackheads and pimples.
- Next comes hydration. Antioxidants, vitamins and hyaluronic acid are introduced into the skin. If desired, a highly effective anti-aging serum can also be incorporated.
