Does Your Skin Need Hydration? Consider A HydraFacial®

By: Dr. Dimara Vega

Harsh weather conditions like intense heat and sun exposure damage our skin, leaving it dry, dull, and tired-looking. While drugstore creams can restore some moisture, these products may not be enough to give us the glowing complexions we desire. This is where advanced skin care treatments like HydraFacial come into play.

A HydraFacial is a six-step facial that removes impurities, cleanses the skin, and infuses it with much-needed hydration. Call BeyondBela Aesthetics & Wellness to meet with Dr. Dimara Vega and begin your journey toward hydrated skin in Brandon, FL.

The many causes of dry skin

The outer layer of our skin contains oils that lock in moisture and keep our skin well-hydrated. However, several factors can disrupt this protective barrier and lead to dryness:

  • Extreme weather: As mentioned, intense heat and sun exposure damage the skin and leave it feeling dry. Cold and dry air in the winter can also strip our skin of natural moisture.
  • Harsh skin care products: Makeup removers, exfoliants, and even some cleansers contain harsh ingredients that dry out the skin. Overusing these products can further aggravate dryness.
  • Lifestyle habits: Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and not drinking enough water can all contribute to a dull complexion.

While moisturizers provide some relief, they may not be enough to provide complete rejuvenation. This is because over-the-counter products only sit on the surface of the skin. A state-of-the-art HydraFacial treatment penetrates deep into the tissue, delivering essential nutrients where they are needed most.

How does a HydraFacial restore moisture?

Dr. Vega performs HydraFacials in one of our private treatment rooms in Brandon, FL. The process begins with a consultation to select the best way possible to address your dry skin. A HydraFacial typically involves the following:

  1. Cleansing: Our special cleansing tools remove makeup, dirt, and impurities from the skin. This step can also loosen dead skin cells and open up pores.
  2. Exfoliation: Dr. Vega uses a gentle exfoliating serum to remove dead skin cells and reveal fresh, new skin beneath.
  3. Extraction: We use a virtually painless device to suction out blackheads, whiteheads, and other impurities from clogged pores.
  4. Hydration: This is where the magic happens. A special blend of hydrating ingredients restores moisture to your complexion.
  5. Nourishment: Essential vitamins and antioxidants are infused into the skin to promote a healthy glow.
  6. Protection: The final step involves applying sunscreen to protect your skin from environmental damage.

How to maintain natural hydration after a HydraFacial

Dr. Vega recommends booking a HydraFacial every 4 – 6 weeks to maintain hydrated, healthy skin. Consider these additional tips to keep your skin looking and feeling nourished:

  • Protect your skin from the sun: Wear sunscreen when going outside, even on cloudy days.
  • Use gentle products: Avoid harsh chemicals and choose mild cleansers that won't strip away your natural oils. Look for products with hydrating ingredients instead.
  • Make small lifestyle adjustments: Quitting smoking, moderating alcohol consumption, and drinking water throughout the day can all help improve your hydration levels.
