The Hydrofacial and the Hydrafacial, due to the similarity in their names, are often confused by patients and aesthetics professionals alike. While they might sound similar, these treatments offer distinct benefits and results. At 31 Hair, Tan & Beauty, we offer the innovative Hydrofacial, a superior skincare solution in terms of effectiveness, customisation and overall experience. Let’s dive deeper into the differences between these two treatments and why the Hydrofacial stands out as the ultimate choice for achieving radiant, rejuvenated skin.
As two titans in the skincare industry, Hydrofacial and Hydrafacial vie for the spotlight, each boasting its unique set of benefits and technologies. While the latter has garnered popularity for its cleansing and exfoliation prowess, Hydrofacial takes skincare to new heights with its revolutionary approach to rejuvenation and comprehensive treatment.
Hydrofacial vs Hydrafacial
At the core of the Hydrofacial experience lies the innovative 3D Hydr02 Facial device from 3D Aesthetics. This state-of-the-art technology integrates multiple treatment modalities to deliver unparalleled results. Unlike Hydrafacial, which focuses primarily on surface-level cleansing, Hydrofacial penetrates deeper into the skin, targeting a wide range of concerns with precision and efficacy.
Hydro Peel
The Hydro Peel treatment combines three specialised solutions to address various skin concerns. Lactic acid and glycolic acid dissolve keratin and cleanse pores, perfect for managing congestion and bacteria. Salicylic acid removes comedones and sebum, ideal for managing acne-prone skin. Lastly, the galactomyces ferment filtrate, hyaluronic acid and acetyl hexapeptide 8 provide deep hydration, reducing wrinkles and promoting elasticity and brightening the skin.
Exfoliation
The exfoliation technology utilises a vibration cleanser with a capsule containing sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. This combination creates an effervescent effect on the skin, inducing the release of oxygen from red blood cells. The Bohr Effect, as it’s known, results in true oxygenation of the skin, improving cell metabolism, firmness and the complexion overall.
Oxygenation
The ‘Oxy’ Spray enhances the absorption of oxygen into the skin. This intense hydration method not only increases cell metabolism but also has an anti-bacterial effect, combating congestion and promoting overall skin health.
Electro-Ion Technology
Electro-Ion technology increases cell absorbency, allowing for deeper product penetration. By stimulating muscle contraction and lifting effects, this technology revitalises dull, lifeless skin and enhances the effectiveness of skincare products.
Radiofrequency (RF)
Tri-polar radiofrequency delivers energy into the dermis, increasing its temperature and stimulating collagen production. This results in tighter, firmer skin, making it an effective treatment for ageing concerns such as wrinkles and sagging.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound technology enhances product infusion by triggering a micro-massage in the tissue, stimulating fibroblasts and promoting the formation of new collagen. This method allows for better absorption of active ingredients, improving the skin’s overall health and appearance.
Fire And Ice Plate
The Fire and Ice plate alternates between warming and cooling the skin, creating heat-shock proteins and tightening pores while locking in moisture. This dual modality handpiece provides instant brightening and tightening effects, promoting a youthful complexion.
Next Level Skincare
While Hydrafacial boasts impressive cleansing capabilities, Hydrofacial takes skincare to the next level by addressing multiple skin concerns simultaneously. With its ability to hydrate, exfoliate, oxygenate and stimulate collagen production, Hydrofacial offers a holistic approach to skincare that yields visible and long-lasting results. Whether you’re battling acne, ageing, pigmentation or dullness, Hydrofacial has the technology and expertise to transform your skin from the inside out.
