Hydrafacial Part Two

6/29/2018

I got my second hydrafacial. No after pic this time...cause it wouldn't have been pretty. :P No fault of the hydrafacial.

I tried a new sunscreen a couple days before my appointment and it clogged my pores terribly! So I had a bit of a breakout several places on my face. :(

Since my skin wasn't very happy, we just did the plain hydrafacial again this time (no extras).

She did turn everything up to the maximum this time, which did have different results. The suction definitely felt more intense and the glycolic acid step was a bit stingy.

For several days afterwards I had dryness and peeling, which was completely different than my first hydrafacial. The first time my skin felt super-hydrated afterwards. This time, not so much.

I had to make sure I applied a good moisture barrier cream twice a day for about a week after. My skin is sensitive and it's combination skin, so YMMV.

I think the dryness and peeling was from the glycolic acid; it seemed to act more like a peel this time.

I had a couple of people ask me "What is a Hydrafacial?", so I thought I'd provide a link to Amrita's website, which provides a great explanation with lots of details.

Hydrafacial is the buzzy new skin treatment. It is a -step facial treatment that basically implements patented technology to exfoliate, cleanse, and hydrate the skin. It may sound like a normal facial, but it is not. The way in which this facial procedure hydrates your skin is also different. Your skin will start plumping immediately after having a facial. You will experience no discomfort after the treatment. The ability to infuse essential vitamins makes hydrafacial different from other facial treatments.

I've read several articles on this topic over the past few days, but yours is the only one that makes sense to me. Thank you.

It was quite surprising that the second treatment made the skin more dry and there was peeling involved. My guess is that first treatment was to hydrate and soften the skin while the next treatment exfoliates the skin making it peel. Your blog has been quite interesting to read. I'm looking forward to more of your future sessions.
