Treatment: HydraFacial MD Medical Grade Facial at The Dermatology & Plastic Surgery Group

What it does: The HydraFacial MD treats fine lines, wrinkles, oily or congested skin, sun damage, uneven skin tones, dry or dehydrated skin, rosacea and blemishes.
Why do it:
Step 1: Your facial begins with a cleanse for all skin types. This non-irritating process gently removes dead skin using the Hydrafacial MD™ Active-4 cleanser and a special tip with multiple peeling edges to help clean the skin. Active-4 contains non-acid exfoliants, soothing and calming extracts, and hydrating elements.
Step 2 is the Acid Peel. Depending on your skin, your Esthetician will select the correct strength of peel. Most patients will receive a Salicylic and Glycolic peel, which helps softly exfoliate the skin.
Step 3: Extraction. You might know extractions to be a painful process. Think again, because the HydraFacial uses a painless vortex suction that extracts, soothes and hydrates.
Step 4 is when the hydration begins. Vortex fusion allows your Esthetician to infuse your skin with high levels of hydration and antioxidants. Vitamins and skin conditioners will moisturize and replenish your skin.
Step 5 is the final step. To round it off, your Esthetician will apply targeted treatments, sunscreen, and other products which will help start your new Skin Care Regimen. Leave with a glowing, rejuvenated look.
