How Do I Prepare For HydraFacial MD?

HydraFacial MD is such a gentle treatment, there is not much you need to do in order to prepare for your appointment. During your consultation for a HydraFacial Birmingham Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Core may direct you to stop using Retin A products and medicines. You may also be instructed to avoid receiving injectables in your face, to not use abrasive scrubs and masks, and to avoid all forms of tanning. This will prepare your skin during the week prior to your appointment. If Dr. Core or Adina have any directives specific to your case, you will be provided with appropriate instructions during your personal consultation.

What Is Involved In My HydraFacial MD Treatment?

HydraFacial MD treatments are relaxing and rejuvenating. Using a 4 step, 30-minute method, a HydraFacial cleanses, extracts, and hydrates your skin.

Cleanse And Exfoliate

The surface of the skin is gently exfoliated, revealing new, brighter skin! This skin resurfacing gives you a polished look as dullness from dead, dry cells is removed. This allows the following steps to be performed effectively.

Gentle Peel

Your aesthetician will apply a solution of glycolic and salicylic acid to your skin. You may feel a slight tingling during application. This is common and subsides when it is wiped away. There is no post-procedure peeling and flaking with a HydraFacial.

Extraction

This step further cleanses the skin as the pores are cleared using a gentle suction technique. Whiteheads, blackheads, and other blemishes are extracted using the HydraFacial handheld vacuum.

Hydrate

Your face is appropriately saturated with peptides and antioxidants to add suppleness to your skin. This will aid in ensuring the skin remains soft and hydrated. Adina can further customize your HydraFacial treatment, as needed. Enhancements, including lip and eye treatments, are available to maximize your HydraFacial experience. HydraFacial Eye and Lip treatments are add-ons to cleanse and hydrate these delicate areas.

HydraFacial MD Recovery

After a HydraFacial Birmingham patients may notice their skin may be slightly red and sensitive immediately following treatment due to the exfoliation and peeling processes. Once the treatment is complete, the skin looks smooth and feels soft. It is an excellent procedure to receive at any point during your day since there is no downtime or recovery period! You simply return to your daily routine after your HydraFacial MD procedure. It is important to wear sunblock to maximize and maintain your HydraFacial MD results through protecting the skin.

HydraFacial Results

The results from HydraFacial MD are immediately noticeable. Your skin will be smoother, brighter, and more even-toned. In the days following your appointment, your skin will continue to improve. While you can immediately apply your makeup, you may not want to after you see your amazing results! If you are ready to experience the impeccable HydraFacial MD results for yourself, contact Adina here at Core Plastic Surgery today to schedule your initial consultation!

Complementary Procedures

Core Plastic Surgery offers a number of treatments to provide you with the aesthetic results you have always wanted. If you are looking to augment your results with additional services, a private consultation with Adina and/or Dr. Core can guide you in the right direction. Smoother, brighter, firmer, more supple skin can be a reality for our Birmingham HydraFacial patients when coupled with any of the following services.

Dermal Fillers And Injectables

Dermal Fillers are injectable gels that contain Hyaluronic Acid – a naturally occurring substance in the body. Dermal fillers can address any areas of the face that may have deflated with age. This can include plumping the lips and cheeks. Also, fillers can address fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin smooth and supple.

Additional Reading

Botox has become a household name in the world of injectable cosmetic treatments. Botox is a neuromodulator that works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles of the upper face. Forehead lines, wrinkles between the eyebrows, and crow's feet around the eyes can all be treated with Botox. Botox targets the muscles responsible for creasing the skin due to repetitive movement. It ceases muscle contractions, making the skin appear less wrinkled. Dermal Fillers and Botox can enhance the results of your HydraFacial MD through plumping and revitalizing the skin, providing you with a more youthful appearance.

Latisse

Latisse is an FDA-approved treatment for your eyelashes. Latisse works to lengthen, strengthen, and thicken the eyelashes. If you have sparse eyelashes or wish to go without mascara, Latisse may be right for you. Choosing Latisse to complement your HydraFacial MD will leave you with a bright-eyed appearance, enhancing your youthful-looking results!

HydraFacial MD Cost In Birmingham
