What are the benefits of combining Hydrafacials and injectables?
Did that special event just suddenly sneak up on you, and you only have a week to prep? While some aesthetic treatments can take months to see noticeable results, there are some that offer almost instant results — Hydrafacials and injectables, like Botox and Juvéderm, are a few popular treatments that can make a big impact in a short amount of time.
What’s a Hydrafacial?
Think of a Hydrafacial like a traditional facial on steroids — it combines the benefits of hydra-dermabrasion, chemical peels, and extractions, along with a unique fusion of antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and peptides. Hydrafacials consist of a comprehensive five-step process: First, the skin is gently cleansed and exfoliated. This is followed by a debris-clearing step using gentle vacuum technology to clean the pores without causing discomfort. Next, the skin receives deep hydration. The treatment ends with the application of antioxidants and peptides to enhance the skin’s glow and even out its tone. As an optional final step at LaserAway, LED light therapy can be added to help soothe inflammation.
Results are instant, and getting regular Hydrafacials can help to buff away dead skin cells, soften the look of wrinkles and fine lines, refine skin texture and firmness, get rid of blackheads and help manage breakouts, create a healthier complexion, prep the skin for other cosmetic treatments, and make skincare products more effective. Best of all, Hydrafacials are safe for all skin types, and there’s no downtime involved!
What about injectables?
Let’s go through a bit of a crash course — there are two main types of injectables: Dermal fillers, like Juvéderm, and neuromodulators, like Botox and Xeomin. In a nutshell, dermal fillers support and fill in the face, hydrating and restoring volume for a smooth appearance. In contrast, neuromodulators relax the muscles that control our expressions and lead to dynamic wrinkles. The good news is that dermal fillers and neuromodulators can be combined to enhance your aesthetic results.
Neuromodulators, like Botox and Xeomin, produce results within three to seven days, settling into peak effectiveness in about two weeks and lasting for months. Juvéderm offers instant results that keep improving until the product fully settles, around the two-week mark. Those results last up to two years, depending on the specific product used.
Why combine them?
Simply put, pairing Hydrafacials with injectables, like Juvéderm and Botox, can provide you with “instant gratification” — just in time for that special event or big vacation! Hydrafacials deeply hydrate and give skin a dewy glow, while Juvéderm restores volume to the face, and Botox smooths out pesky lines and wrinkles for a total refresh!
Want to streamline your treatments? You can get Hydrafacials and injectables in the same session as long as you get the Hydrafacial first. If you’re only getting your lips done, you can start there, but if you are receiving injectables on any other area of your face, you’ll need to wait one day before getting a Hydrafacial afterward.
