Are you curious about that beauty buzzword flooding your TikTok feed with over a billion views? Yes, we’re talking about Hydrafacials! If you’ve been wondering whether it’s worth investing $200 to $300 for this chemical exfoliation facial, let’s dive into what makes this trend so captivating.
The Cost of Glowing Skin
The Hydrafacial, with a price tag of around $200 to $300, varies based on location and the expertise of the professional. According to Dr. Peredo, metropolitan areas and dermatologists might charge more than suburban clinics or estheticians. But as Dr. Gordon points out, for a deep clean and glow, it’s one of the best investments you can make in your skincare regimen.
The Hydrafacial Breakdown
Why are Hydrafacials creating such a stir? It’s not just about hydration. This three-step facial starts with a gentle peel, eliminating dead skin cells and reducing dark spots. Next, a gentle suction phase cleans out the pores. Finally, a blend of hydrating and nourishing ingredients are infused back into the skin. And the best part? These ingredients are customizable based on your skin’s needs.
Dr. Peredo notes that a Hydrafacial takes about 30 minutes and doesn’t leave any irritation or redness. Perfect before a big event, it leaves you with an immediate glow and hydration.
Results and Routine
The results of a Hydrafacial lasts about a week, with the best outcomes seen through consistent treatments. To extend these results, a solid at-home skincare routine is key. However, Dr. Peredo advises against DIY pore vacuums, which can do more harm than good.
How often should you get a Hydrafacial? Dr. Peredo and Dr. Gordon suggest once a month, but this can vary based on your skin type, with some needing it every two to four weeks.
Hydrafacial vs. DiamondGlow
Now, let’s talk about DiamondGlow, the Hydrafacial’s cousin from Allergan Aesthetics. DiamondGlow combines cleansing, diamond tip microdermabrasion, and infusion with SkinMedica serums tailored to your skin. The choice between the two boils down to the type of exfoliation (manual vs. chemical) and your budget, as DiamondGlow tends to be slightly less pricey.
Why It’s Worth It
In summary, if you’re after smoother, brighter, and dewier skin, the Hydrafacial is a fantastic choice. To decide if it’s right for you, consider booking a consultation with your dermatologist or a trusted skin clinic.
So, there you have it! Whether it’s a pre-event glow-up or part of your regular skincare ritual, the Hydrafacial is making waves for a reason. Ready to join the Hydrafacial Club and treat yourself to some luxe skincare love?
