Hydro/Microdermabrasion in Queens, New York

Microdermabrasion, Hydra Microdermabrasion, and Hydro Dermabrasion are non-invasive exfoliation treatments that rejuvenate the skin. When combined with oxygen therapy and light therapy, they become more effective by adding hydration, healing, and soothing properties.

Microdermabrasion: This is a mechanical exfoliation technique using a device that sprays fine crystals or a diamond-tipped wand to remove the outer layer of dead skin cells, revealing fresh, younger-looking skin beneath.

Hydra Microdermabrasion (Hydro Dermabrasion): Hydro dermabrasion combines traditional microdermabrasion with hydrating serums. Instead of crystals or a diamond-tipped wand, it uses water jets to exfoliate while simultaneously infusing the skin with serums rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and hyaluronic acid. This treatment is gentler and more hydrating than regular microdermabrasion.

Oxygen Therapy: After dermabrasion, oxygen therapy is used to infuse the skin with highly concentrated oxygen and nutrients, improving hydration and promoting a radiant glow. It boosts the skin’s healing and collagen production.

Light Therapy: LED light therapy is used at the end of the treatment to address various skin concerns. Red light therapy promotes collagen production and healing, while blue light therapy targets acne-causing bacteria, reducing breakouts.

Exfoliation: Microdermabrasion or Hydro dermabrasion exfoliates the top layer of dead skin cells, removing debris and improving skin texture.

Hydration: In Hydro dermabrasion, hydrating serums are applied simultaneously to nourish and plump the skin.

Oxygen Infusion: After exfoliation, oxygen therapy is used to deliver oxygen and nutrients deep into the skin, improving hydration and circulation.

LED Light Therapy: Finally, LED light therapy (red or blue light) is applied to stimulate collagen production, promote healing, and target specific skin issues such as acne or pigmentation.

There is minimal to no downtime with these treatments. You might experience mild redness immediately after the session, but this typically fades within a few hours. Most people can resume their normal activities the same day. Your skin will look and feel refreshed immediately, but it’s important to protect it from the sun.

Exfoliation and Smoothing: Removes dead skin cells, revealing smoother, more youthful skin.

Hydration: Hydra microdermabrasion infuses the skin with hydrating serums, leaving it plumped and glowing.

Improved Texture and Tone: Both treatments improve skin texture and tone, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.

Stimulates Collagen Production: Oxygen therapy and light therapy promote collagen production, helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Fights Acne: Blue light therapy can help reduce acne-causing bacteria, while red light helps with healing and inflammation.

Immediate Glow: Your skin will look brighter and more radiant right after the treatment.

Non-Invasive and Quick: It’s a painless and quick procedure, with minimal downtime, making it an ideal lunchtime treatment.

Avoid Sun Exposure: Limit sun exposure and avoid tanning for at least one week before treatment. Apply sunscreen regularly.

Discontinue Exfoliants and Retinoids: Stop using retinoids, alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), and other exfoliating products at least 3-5 days before treatment.

No Chemical Peels or Laser Treatments: Avoid any harsh treatments like chemical peels or laser treatments for at least two weeks before.

Hydrate: Drink plenty of water and keep your skin moisturized before your treatment.

Clean Skin: Arrive at your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin.

Hydration: Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to keep your skin nourished and help with healing.

Sunscreen: Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every day to protect your skin from UV damage, especially after treatment.

Avoid Heat and Sweating: For at least 24 hours, avoid saunas, hot showers, and intense exercise, as excessive sweating can irritate the skin.

No Makeup for 24-48 Hours: Allow your skin to breathe by avoiding makeup for at least 24-48 hours after treatment.

Gentle Skincare: Stick to gentle, non-irritating cleansers and avoid exfoliants, retinoids, or any other harsh skincare products for about a week.

No Picking or Scratching: Do not pick at or scrub your skin; allow it to heal naturally.

By following these pre- and post-care instructions, you'll ensure the best possible results from your combined hydro/microdermabrasion treatment with oxygen and light therapy.
