HydraFacial

Enter the Swirling Vortex of Hydration!
HydraFacial is a non-invasive, medical-grade skincare treatment that uses patented technology to cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and hydrate the skin.

It is a multi-step procedure that is designed to improve the overall health and appearance of the skin. During a HydraFacial treatment, a device is used to cleanse and exfoliate the skin, followed by a gentle chemical peel to remove impurities and dead skin cells. Then, the device uses a suction-based extraction method to remove debris from the pores. Finally, a customized serum is applied to nourish and hydrate the skin, leaving it looking refreshed and rejuvenated. HydraFacial treatment can address a wide range of skin concerns, from improving hydration and reducing fine lines to minimizing pores and promoting a clearer complexion.

Dr. Saira H. Saini can help clients identify the best combination of treatments to achieve their desired outcomes, whether it be through HydraFacial alone or in combination with other procedures. Her patient-focused approach ensures that each individual receives personalized care and achieves the best possible outcomes. Find out what HydraFacial can do for your skin.

More About HydraFacial

As a society, we are increasingly focused on our skin health. Our skin, the largest organ in the body, plays a vital role, and it is essential to safeguard it from damage. Our skin is often considered a window into our overall health, and changes in skin appearance, texture, and sensitivity can indicate underlying medical conditions.

During a physical exam, doctors can examine the skin for signs of illness. The skin can also provide clues about our self-care habits. For instance

Overall, paying attention to changes in our skin can help us take better care of ourselves. And when it comes to hydrating dull, dry skin, nothing comes close to the hydradermabrasion benefits of HydraFacial.

Hydradermabrasion vs. Microdermabrasion

Many patients in Fayetteville, NC and across the country are opting for HydraFacial (hydradermabrasion) over traditional microdermabrasion. With the rising demand for fast and noticeable skincare results, an increasing number of innovative treatments are becoming accessible. 

The latest microdermabrasion techniques now utilize microcrystal-free methods like hydradermabrasion. Hydradermabrasion functions similarly to microdermabrasion, but instead of utilizing propelled microcrystals for exfoliation, it employs a blend of oxygen and aqueous solutions at high velocities to rid the face of debris and dead skin cells. Impurities are then gently suctioned away.

Although microdermabrasion is an effective skincare treatment, it is not suitable for all skin types and must be used with caution in individuals with Fitzpatrick skin types IV-VI, rosacea, sensitive, or thin skin because of the higher risk of skin irritation and hyperpigmentation associated. ^[1] 

The HydraFacial approach is unique because it exfoliates and hydrates the skin simultaneously in one treatment pass. ^[2] The supersonic micro-droplet jet widens micro-canals in the outer skin layers, enhancing skin hydration and cleansing while exfoliating the epidermis.

A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of hydradermabrasion for facial rejuvenation. The study involved comparing the outcomes of people who received hydradermabrasion facial treatments using an antioxidant serum with those who only received the same antioxidant serum manually applied to their skin. Six hydradermabrasion treatments on a 7-10 day interval were completed to evaluate whether this technique could increase antioxidant levels in the skin and improve skin quality. 

The results of the study demonstrated that the skin treated with hydradermabrasion showed increased epidermal and papillary dermal thickness, as well as higher levels of antioxidants. Further examinations revealed the replacement of elastic dermal tissue, collagen hyalinization & fibroblast density, which correlated with a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, pore size, and hyperpigmentation in the treated areas. This study highlights the efficacy of hydradermabrasion treatment in improving skin quality by adding hydration, oxygen, and antioxidants to exfoliated skin, making it a viable alternative to microdermabrasion. ^[3]
