HydraFacial® treatments improve acne

What is a HydraFacial®?

HydraFacial® is a non-invasive facial and body treatment that improves skin health by targeting specific concerns such as dry skin, mild hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, pore size, redness and even acne.

HydraFacial® delivers clear and smooth skin by using 3 steps:

1. Cleanse

Hydrfacial deeply cleanses away dirt, oil, makeup and debris by using a wet diamond tip. The diamond tip is effective in exfoliating away any dead skin cells to reveal smooth skin while cleaning out the pores.

2. Extract

HydraFacial® removes impurities with a gentle suction and glycolic acid. Depending on sensitivity or skin elasticity, a skilled HydraFacial® provider will determine which percentage of glycolic acid will be best for removing impurities or black heads in congested areas. This allows for better product penetration for the next HydraFacial® step.

3. Hydrate

HydraFacial® is best known for the glow. The last step in HydraFacial® saturates the skin in potent moisturizers and antioxidants. This step may be personalized by using a HydraFacial® Booster which uses powerful nourishing ingredients to aid in a particular skin concern.

In a recent clinical study, HydraFacial® is proven to improve acne using HydraFacial®'s patented Vortex-Fusion Delivery System and powerful ingredients.

The new study, published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology (JCAD), found HydraFacial® clarifying treatments improved acne skin concerns in 100% of study participants.

According to Chief Medical Officer Jwala Karnik, M.D, twenty subjects with mild-to-moderate acne, ranging in age from 19 to 48 and across all Fitzpatrick skin types, participated in the study. They received a clarifying HydraFacial® treatment with blue LED light every two weeks during a 12-week period, for a total of six treatments.

Here are the findings:

• 100% positive response: There was a significant improvement in acne severity, with 100% of participants finding they had clearer, healthier, and more radiant skin.
• Clear and clean: Study participants reported fewer acne lesions and reduced inflammation and said their skin looked and felt cleaner.
• Boost of confidence:Participants reported a significant boost in confidence in their appearance, growing from 40% feeling more confident after their first treatment to 100% after their final treatment.

The full study can be found in the December issue of The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology .
