Which Skin Concerns Can Hydrafacial® Help to Treat?

From dryness to oiliness to damage from sun exposure, just about everyone has some cosmetic skin concern or another they would like to address. When it comes to treating that wide range of skin concerns, Hydrafacial is Madison-based Radiance Skin Therapy’s go-to answer for many people.

The treatment’s three-in-one approach to improving skin health and beauty allows it to target specific issues while also providing general benefits. While Hydrafacial can be appropriate for just about anyone, here are some particular skin concerns the treatment can address:

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

As skin ages, it dries out and grows lax due to a combination of factors and changes. A surface covered with dead cells can also cause signs of aging—like wrinkles—to appear more pronounced. Exfoliating can provide a smoother texture and look, while enhancing hydration can also give the surface a plumper quality, rather like adding more air to a balloon to make the skin less wrinkled.

Mild Laxity

All of the problems that contribute to wrinkles can also contribute to laxity, which may lead to sagging, drooping, and—yes—even more wrinkles. Hydrating the skin does more than make it appear smoother, it can also help it to look fuller and serve as a supportive element that prevents the downward migration of tissue.

Photodamage

Many signs of damage from the sun sit in the uppermost layers of skin. This is another reason why exfoliation is beneficial. Taking away those layers takes away any imperfections they hold as well. Freckles and other spots that live deeper down will remain, but can appear less prominent.

Congestion and Oiliness

Cleansing is an ideal way to remove that pesky facial oil that can cause congestion, leading to a dull look. Gumming up pores with dead skin cells, oil, and debris can also encourage bacterial growth that leads to acne breakouts. Hydrafacial takes the oil away, leaving pores open.

Large-Looking Pores

Speaking of pores, dry or damaged skin can cause them to appear larger and more noticeable than they actually are. Providing nourishing hydration allows the visibility of pores to shrink so that the skin gains a more porcelain-like quality.

Dry Skin

We’ve said it before, and we will definitely say it again. Dry skin is a common skincare concern on its own, but it also contributes to so many other concerns as well. Quenching the skin and infusing it with hydration-boosting ingredients gives it the ability to look smoother and healthier.

Redness

Visible blood vessels and redness due to sun damage or chronic rosacea can be annoying, as well as made worse by inflammation. Antioxidants and other ingredients in the serums that Hydrafacial infuses can calm this inflammation, helping to reduce redness and give the skin a more even coloration.
