What is Hydrafacial and what is it for?

You’ve probably wondered what exactly a Hydrafacial is? Is it just a facial? Does it have needles? Does it hurt? When will you see results?

Here we tell you a bit of its history and give you some facts that may be of interest to you.

Where was it born?

It was created in Long Beach (United States) in 1997 by Roger Ignon and Bill Cohen, since then it has undergone a process of improvement, making its technology unique as it has an exclusive Vortex Fusion system, a patented procedure that allows the Hydrafacial process to be carried out.

It is currently present in 75 countries.

The answer is quite simple, in truth a Hydrafacial can be done whenever you want, at any time of the year. So if you feel like you need to treat your skin, remember that you can always do it.

How is a HydraFacial done?

This treatment performs several actions at the same time, cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities and dead cells, moisturises, nourishes and provides antioxidants giving a healthier and smoother appearance to the skin, but above all achieves a healthier skin. All this is achieved thanks to the spiral design of the Hydro Peel ® tips, which are used with vacuum technology and patented serums, creating a cyclone effect to easily extract and remove impurities, while providing moisturising active ingredients for the skin. This patented technology not only achieves deep and even cleansing, but at the same time delivers serums with vitamins, antioxidants and hyaluronic acid.
