Hydrafacial in The Dalles, OR

 

HYDRAFACIAL IS FOR EVERYONE.

 

At Columbia Laser Skin Center in The Dalles, OR, we know it’s easy to fall into a skincare rut. If your skin has plateaued, you may need a unique form of skin rejuvenation to transform your skin. If that’s the case, we want to introduce you to HydraFacial, a unique three-step facial that can make good skin even better and help address some of the most stubborn and noticeable skin imperfections.

HydraFacial: The Ultimate Skin Rejuvenation Treatment

When you hear the word facial, your natural inclination is to think of a treatment for your face. However, HydraFacial is more than just a facial. We can use it to perfect the skin on the face, arms, décolletage, back, legs, and buttocks because, at the end of the day, skin is skin. Exfoliation is crucial for healthy skin on your face, legs, and anywhere in between.

What It Treats

HydraFacial is a skin rejuvenation treatment for the face and body that does more than just exfoliate the skin. It can address incorrect problematic skin conditions, including:

• Acne-prone skin
• Dull skin
• Poor skin tone texture
• Uneven skin tone
• Large pores
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Hyperpigmentation
• Poor skin health

The Face

HydraFacial is a perfect treatment for those looking to achieve a healthier, more even, brighter, and glowing complexion. It can help perfect the skin in different ways and give you a glow that will increase your confidence in your complexion.

The Arms

Whether you’re planning for warmer weather, a vacation, a special event, or want to invest in a skin rejuvenation treatment to improve the skin on your arms, we can use this treatment to cleanse, nourish, and exfoliate your skin so you can feel confident in the appearance of your arms.

Décolletage

We can also use this treatment to help perfect your décolletage. The neck and chest area receive a lot of sun exposure and, as a result, can begin to show signs of aging and hyperpigmentation. We can use this unique treatment to help perfect this area and restore youthful-looking skin.

Back

We can also use this treatment to perfect the skin on the back, which is a good solution for patients prone to back acne or those who want to cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate their backs.

Legs

We can also use this treatment to hydrate, cleanse, exfoliate, and nourish the skin on your legs. You can schedule HydraFacial for the legs before shorts season or any time of the year to help you maintain optimal skin health on your legs.

Buttocks

HydraFacial is the perfect treatment to schedule if you want to give the skin on your buttocks some extra TLC. It will help cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the area, which is especially important during swimsuit season. This treatment is the perfect way to keep your skin healthy year-round, even the skin on the buttocks.

How It Works

HydraFacial uses patented Vortex technology to complete a unique three-step treatment that takes 30 minutes from start to finish. The first step involves a deep cleansing, the second step exfoliates the skin, and the third step nourishes and protects the newer, healthier layer. By the end of your treatment, you can expect healthier-looking skin with a natural and healthy glow that will get your complexion noticed and complimented.

Step One: Cleansing and Peeling

This treatment begins with deep cleansing. We will use the device to gently exfoliate the top layer by removing dead skin cells through a gentle and effective exfoliation process. During this step, you will experience deep cleansing and overall skin resurfacing. The step is crucial for the rest of the treatment process because it allows products to be better absorbed into your skin and help create visible changes.

Step Two: Extractions and Hydration

During the second step, we will use the device to gently suction dirt and debris from your pores. We will then replace that dirt and debris with intense moisturizers that will help hydrate and nourish your skin and promote a healthy post-treatment glow. After your treatment, you’ll see all of the skin debris in the device we have removed from your pores, which is an extremely gratifying experience for many patients.

Step Three: Fusing and Protection

During the final step of the treatment, we will use a customized booster to hydrate your skin and deliver peptides and antioxidants to your skin to help you promote skin health and a beautiful glow.

How Does HydraFacial Differ From Conventional Facial?

Both HydraFacial and conventional facial treatments target many of the same issues and often employ the same (or similar) methods. However, there are several key discrepancies in both methodology and potential results that can steer people to one choice over the other. Before diving into the more granular comparisons, the TL;DR is this: HydraFacial tends to be gentler and more immediately noticeable, while standard facials are still trusted by many to deliver comprehensive results.

Methodology – Conventional facials generally use either a chemical peel or manual exfoliation. HydraFacial, on the other hand, uses suction to remove dead skin cells and reveal a fresh layer of skin. It also can use suction for extraction purposes. Both treatment types may involve the use of serums and other topical agents (such as HydraFacial’s peptide serum) to nourish the skin.

Results – While both HydraFacial and standard facials can remove debris, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and rejuvenate the skin for a fresh aesthetic, HydraFacial results are generally more immediate.

Potential Downtime – Neither treatment usually requires heavy downtime, but depending on the specific exfoliation and extraction methods used, conventional facials may require you to abstain from using certain products and/or limit your sun exposure. As a typically gentler alternative, it’s less common for HydraFacial treatments to require any downtime.

Who Should Avoid HydraFacial Treatment?

Because it is such a gentle, noninvasive treatment, HydraFacial is a safe and potentially effective option for a wide variety of people. However, there are some circumstances—including certain conditions, medication use, and allergies, to name a few—that may affect whether or not this treatment is appropriate for you.

Some of these conditions include:

• Active sunburn in the intended treatment area
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Some medications
• Compromised immunity (including autoimmune disorders)
• Various skin conditions
• Active infections
• Some cancers

Keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list, and not all of these issues guarantee that you will be ineligible for HydraFacial. The best way to confidently determine your eligibility is to contact our team at Columbia Skin Center. We will comprehensively assess your unique health status and expectations to recommend the safest and most effective treatments for you.

Customizing Your Treatment

Not only can we address your specific treatment area and skin concerns, but we can also customize your treatment to address the areas you want to focus on. Different boosters can be used during the treatment process to help you perfect your skin in different ways. These include:

• Calming boosters
• Smoothing and refining boosters
• Hydrating boosters
• Brightening boosters
• Eye boosters
• Lip Boosters

In addition to the use of boosters, adjusting certain parameters of your HydraFacial treatment (e.g., pressure and suction) allows our team at Columbia Laser Skin Center to maximize comfort and effectiveness. We employ a highly collaborative, patient-centered approach to all of our treatments. As such, we encourage you to voice all of your preferences, questions, and concerns early on in order to enhance both your experience and your results.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

You will see your skin improve after just one treatment, but the results get even better when you make this treatment a regular part of your skin routine. You can schedule this treatment every month to address your skin concerns, give your skin the cleansing and exfoliation it needs to promote optimal skin health, maintain beautiful skin over time, and continue to reach your skincare goals.

We’ll design a treatment plan that’s right for you, and as your skin continues to improve, we can use different boosters as needed to help you reach your complexion goals.

Will I Break Out?

Many people are hesitant to schedule facials because they’re concerned about their skin reacting poorly to the treatment. If you undergo a facial treatment that isn’t customized for your needs, your skin may look worse post-treatment. However, you can rest assured that when you schedule this skin rejuvenation treatment at our office, we will custom tailor each treatment, whether you want to address your face, arms, back, legs, décolletage, or booty.

How to Prolong and Enhance Your Results

Though HydraFacial is discrete and nonsurgical, just like any other procedure, your preparation and aftercare can both affect the quality and staying power of your results. For example, minimizing sun exposure as much as possible both before and after HydraFacial treatment is a simple way to optimize your results. Other savvy prep practices include consistently moisturizing the skin, avoiding products or situations that irritate the skin, and adhering to healthy diet, sleep, and exercise routines.

It’s important to note that prep and aftercare is individualized to an extent. While the above practices form a solid foundation for the average person, your particular circumstances may require some modifications. Consulting with a well-qualified HydraFacial provider is the best way to establish your ideal prep and aftercare strategies.

Hydrafacial FAQ

Does HydraFacial come with any possible side effects?

While HydraFacial side effects are rare and generally mild, some people experience an increase in blackheads and other blemishes in the days following a HydraFacial treatment. This is often referred to as “purging,” and is a sign that the treatment area is continuing to rid itself of debris. Other potential side effects include skin sensitivity and dry skin.

How long do HydraFacial results last?

For most people, HydraFacial treatment will produce results that last between 4 to 6 weeks. Your particular skin type, various lifestyle and health factors, and adherence to prep and aftercare can all impact the duration and extent of your results.

Does HydraFacial pair well with other treatments?

HydraFacial not only allows for other treatments, but can enhance them by opening up the pores. This makes filler injections and laser treatments, for example, more effective by increasing the permeability of the targeted tissue. HydraFacial can also be paired with microneedling, chemical peels, and neuromodulars like Botox.

How often should I get a HydraFacial?

Thanks to the gentle nature of this treatment, you are welcome to return as soon as your results begin to fade. Whether or not you wish to adhere to a consistent regimen (e.g., one Hydrafacial every month) is up to you. Some patients alternate HydraFacial with other compatible treatments, such as those listed above.

What age range is HydraFacial appropriate for?

Keeping in mind that patients below the age of 18 may be required to have parental consent, HydraFacial is suitable for virtually all ages and skin tones (including uneven skin tone). This treatment is customizable for a broad range of ages, skin types, and concerns.

Does HydraFacial increase collagen?

HydraFacial stimulates collagen production and activity in multiple ways. The exfoliation component encourages collagen production by removing dead skin cells, thereby prompting cellular regeneration in the area (to which collagen responds). The serums and boosters also enhance collagen synthesis by providing key ingredients required for this healing process.
