HydraFacial in Lynchburg, VA for Glowing Skin

HydraFacial is a medical-grade hydradermabrasion device that carries out a patented three-part regimen — cleansing, exfoliating, and then infusing skin with intensive serums.

HydraFacials can be performed on all skin types, including very sensitive skin. What is unique about this treatment is that it is highly customizable. Your skin care professional will work with you to understand your unique skin concerns, and will recommend a personalized treatment for you. It should be noted, however, that the HydraFacial is on the gentler side of the facial treatment spectrum. Clients requiring deeper resurfacing may achieve greater results from more intense treatments such as medical grade peels or laser treatments.

During your consultation at Well Labs+ Medspa Wyndhurst, a physical examination of your skin and assessment of your concerns will be carried out. A review of your medical history will be conducted to check your risk factors and recent facial treatments or surgeries. If our skin care expert identifies that you are compatible with the aesthetic procedure, you will be briefed about your customized HydraFacial treatment.

The HydraFacial device uses three actions that contribute to the resurfacing of the skin; physical exfoliation from water pressure and a textured tip, chemical exfoliation from acids such as glycolic and salicylic, and suction to lift dead skin cells off the surface.

A basic treatment starts with a water-based solution being blasted onto the skin to break up the topmost layer of dead skin cells. Using the spiral suction tip of the HydraFacial device, the dead skin cells and surface debris are lifted away, providing a gentler method of extraction. Next, a chemical peel solution is delivered in the same way, increasing the depth of exfoliation. The final steps involve the same pressurized delivery of treatment serums customized to the needs of the skin. Because all steps are delivered in a hydrating, water-based solution, the HydraFacial delivers an impressive amount of plumping hydration to the skin when compared to a more traditional microdermabrasion treatment.

There is no downtime or recovery time involved after your HydraFacial treatment, and you may get back to your normal routine right away. It is best to avoid application of exfoliating or peeling treatments for a few days after your facial treatment. Temporary redness and minimal peeling may be experienced; these should disappear quickly.

The cost of a HydraFacial treatment can vary from case to case. Add-ons, booster serums, and other combination services may impact the overall price. The number of sessions can also affect the total cost.
