This week one of our writers sat down with Founder & Master PMU Artist, Kelly Haney, for an in-depth look at the Hydrafacial. Forever Valentine is known for offering a wide array of custom facials and highly sought-after skin treatments. Let’s explore what makes the Hydrafacial unique, who it’s fit for, and more skincare insights from Kelly.
What Makes the Hydrafacial Unique?
"The Hydrafacial stands out due to its patented Vortex-Fusion technology," Kelly explained, "which simultaneously exfoliates, extracts impurities, and infuses the skin with hydrating serums, delivering instant and noticeable results that improve skin concerns and conditions with no downtime!" Hydrafacial super serums are made with nourishing ingredients that create an instantly gratifying glow in just 3 steps.
What Skin Types are Best for the Hydrafacial?
This unique treatment is outstandingly gentle and addresses a multitude of concerns, making it suitable for all skin types and ages—including sensitive skin. "The Hydrafacial is versatile," Kelly emphasized, "it addresses various concerns like dullness, congestion, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation."
Customizing the Hydrafacial
But what sets the Hydrafacial apart is not just the efficacy of the treatment but the personalized approach to skincare. "The treatment can be customized by adjusting the serums used during the process, along with the levels of exfoliation," she explained. "These adjustments are made after an in-depth skin analysis to cater to individual needs like hydration, brightening, or acne treatment."
Maintaining Results
How do you maintain results between appointments? Beyond the spa visit, Kelly stresses the importance of a consistent skincare routine at home. "Routines including cleansing, moisturizing, and sunscreen application at a minimum are essential," she advised. "I also emphasize the importance of internal hydration, a balanced diet, and stress management for overall skin health." Foods such as salmon & tuna for omega-3s, avocado, sweet potato, and more are known for their skin benefits.
Facial Frequency
How often should you get a facial? "For generally healthy skin, a facial anywhere between 4-8 weeks can maintain optimal results," Kelly advised. "For acne-prone skin, a bi-weekly or strict monthly schedule might be more beneficial to manage breakouts and keep the skin clear." It takes about 28-days for new skin cells to generate. So scheduling every 1-2 months for healthy skin will keep it fresh without disrupting the skin barrier.
