With every second of aging, hydration becomes even more important for the skin. Keeping the skin properly and consistently hydrated addresses fine lines, flakiness, and rough texture, all while improving the skin’s ability to keep the good stuff in and the bad stuff out. With this in mind, why should you ever settle for cosmetic treatments or products that dry out your skin?

Thanks to hydration facial by South Jersey Aesthetics, you can receive a leading-quality treatment that enhances hydration while treating uneven skin texture, fine lines, dull tone, and much, much more. But what exactly is a hydration facial, how is it different from alternative treatments, and how can you know if you’re a candidate? Read on to have your answers to these questions and more answered. When you’re ready for a transformative hydration facial delivered by a highly experienced team, South Jersey Aesthetics is here to partner with you on a fully customized treatment plan.

What Is Hydration Facial?

Hydration facial is a comprehensive skin rejuvenation treatment that can be applied throughout the body to resolve a variety of skin concerns. This treatment infuses hydrating serums into the skin to promote various benefits, a process aided by gentle suction, which opens up the pores and removes debris. Hydration facial follows an intuitive three-step process to renew, nourish, and guard the skin for a naturally radiant result.

Benefits include balancing uneven skin texture or tone, tightening large pores, reducing the appearance of acne, treating fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and more. After each session, you will have plump, clear, dewy skin.

How Hydration Facial Treatment Works

The first step in hydration facial treatment is exfoliation. The handpiece efficiently, yet gently exfoliates the superficial skin layers, removing debris and dead tissue. This reveals a fresh layer of skin while cleansing the area and enhancing the permeability of nutrient-rich products used in later steps. Once the area is clean, fresh, and primed for extraction, it’s on to step two.

Unlike manual extractions, which can sometimes be so uncomfortable that this step has to be skipped, hydration facial uses gentle suction to remove impurities from the skin. Next, powerful moisturizers are infused into the skin to enhance skin hydration.

Step three offers an opportunity to customize the treatment, infusing the skin with a compound formulated just for your unique skin care needs and preferences. The previous steps ensure that the skin is primed to absorb the serum most effectively. After treatment, your skin will be radiant, plump, and impeccably smooth.

Areas of the Body Treated

It may have facial in the name, but rest assured, hydration facial can treat just about every major area of the body that experiences fine lines, oversized pores, uneven skin texture, and other common issues. These areas include:

Neck – Whether from sun exposure, scratches from pets (or small children), or whatever else life throws at you, the neck takes more damage than we consciously realize. Hydration facial provides an effective and completely non-surgical way to reduce uneven skin texture or tone, hyperpigmentation, and other issues affecting this area.
Arms – Upper arms especially are vulnerable to various skin concerns, many of which are effectively remedied by hydration facial treatment.
Legs – From the quads and knees to your buttocks, hydration facial helps to smooth out rough spots, tone down any hyperpigmentation in the area, and more.
Back – Acne, dry skin, dark spots or patches, and other issues affecting the back can all be addressed with a hydration facial.

Hydration Facial Versus Standard Facials

While the cosmetics world still owes a debt to the conventional facial, a longstanding staple, there are several ways in which hydration facial can offer some unique advantages. Overall, both of these approaches treat many of the same skin concerns while following a similar framework. The general takeaway is that hydration facial is typically better tolerated by those with sensitive skin, and often delivers faster results.

To get a bit more specific on how exactly these two options break down, here’s a look at how they differ (and are similar) in major categories like overall results, downtime, and more:

Process – While both hydration facials and standard facials follow a similar flow, including deep cleaning, skin hydration, exfoliation, and extraction, hydration facial uses more advanced technology. The gentle suction force applied by the handpiece allows serums to perfuse into the skin more efficiently.

Sensation – Another key advantage of hydration facial is the fact that it is considerably gentler on the skin than a standard facial. Where a standard facial often requires manual extraction, hydration facial removes impurities with much less discomfort, thanks again to the handpiece. This is the main reason why hydration facials are the preferred option for those with more sensitive skin.

Level of improvement – Both standard and hydration facials have proven themselves effective for treating multiple signs of aging. Typically, a hydration facial can penetrate into deeper layers of tissue, making it the ideal choice for people with more deeply rooted skin concerns.

Post-treatment – Though hydration facials are generally a more intensive option than standard facials, they produce immediate results with fewer unwanted after-effects than standard facials in most cases. Both treatments allow you to resume your normal schedule quickly, but discomfort, redness, and other common effects are shorter lived with hydration facials.

Who Is the Ideal Hydration Facial Candidate?

People with consistently dry skin are well-suited for this moisturizing facial treatment. Those without dry skin can also benefit from the moisture boost that this treatment provides, leaving the skin looking plump and rejuvenated—especially during dry seasons.

Hydration facials are also preferred by those with sensitive skin. As mentioned, this treatment is significantly more comfortable when it comes to extraction than standard facials. If you have uneven skin texture, oversized pores, hyperpigmentation, or acne affecting your face, legs, arms, or torso, a hydration facial can deliver game-changing results.

As for who is not well-suited for this moisturizing facial treatment, the following factors may affect your eligibility:

Some medications
Some chronic diseases
Skin conditions (eczema, dermatitis, sunburns)
Autoimmune conditions
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Allergies

Overall, hydration facial is a very gentle and accommodating procedure. To learn more about whether or not you’d be an ideal candidate, contact our team at South Jersey Aesthetics.
