15 Apr Should You Get a HydraFacial, Chemical Peel—or Both?
Spoiler: The answer is it depends. Parson Skin Center offers a variety of chemical peels as well as the famed HydraFacial, and we’re here to match you with the ultimate pampering session to meet all your skincare goals. So, should you mix and match? First, know that a HydraFacial is for everyone of every age and skin tone and type—seriously. A HydraFacial is equal parts powerful and gentle, soothing the skin and taking it to the next level in cleanliness and hydration. Before we scamper down the chemical peel rabbit hole, let’s give the HydraFacial the time and attention it deserves.
A HydraFacial is a proprietary technology that exfoliates the skin, extracts the pores, and infuses the skin with medical-grade skin care products in whip-fast succession. Of course, you know that exfoliation is a must to encourage skin cell turnover while removing debris (like dead skin cells) from the skin’s surface. HydraFacial does this with a wet vac technology, so this isn’t like the microdermabrasion you might have had in the past. At the same time, it’s working to get all that gunk out of your pores.
Clogged pores are a common problem. They can get all kinds of things trapped in them including sebum (skin oil), products (even the good stuff like sunscreen), dead skin cells, and pollutants. When you have clogged pores, you have enlarged pores and can be at a higher risk of breakouts (depending on what exactly makes up that gunk). It can be futile and even dangerous to try to extract pores yourself at home since it’s common to spread that gunk around the skin’s surface. With a HydraFacial, you get a pro extraction for the cleanest pores ever.
A HydraFacial grand finale drenches the skin in medical-grade skin care products selected just for you at that appointment. This is a great way to test out these products before committing to an entire vial or tube. You will also be slathered in top-grade sunscreen so your skin is as protected as possible when you leave your appointment. With how amazing HydraFacial is, how could it get even better? Take a look and then let us know how you really peel.
When we say we have a lot of peels, we mean it.
- Illuminize peel by SkinMedica: Upgrade your vibrancy and radiancy with virtually no downtime. This gentle peel is doable alongside a HydraFacial treatment and can correct small skin issues like fine lines, subpar tone and texture, and minor hyperpigmentation.
- Vitalize peel by SkinMedica is all about reversing signs of aging and sun damage. You can treat mild to moderate concerns like acne and stubborn sun damage. It’s a more powerful peel, so talk to your provider before deciding if it should be paired with a HydraFacial.
- Apeele is great for getting rid of sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, and little scars. The recovery period is short, and it’s suitable for all skin tones and types—as well as the HydraFacial.
- TCA Peels are for everyone—and we have a huge variety of this peel. It’s one of the most popular peels on the market and can be customized to any strength, which means that it can be individualized to complement a HydraFacial. It’s all about undoing signs of aging, poor texture, hyperpigmentation, and acne scarring. This is one of the best peels to get with a HydraFacial since both are totally designed just for you.
We also understand that skin is always changing. That’s why a HydraFacial and TCA peel are never exactly the same. As we shift into warmer months, you might be noticing an increase in oil and breakouts. Whip that skin into summertime shape with some lunch-hour treatments that will get you pampered and glowing in no time.
At Parson Skin Center, we are dedicated to helping you achieve your best skin year-round. HydraFacial treatments and gentler peels are a great solution for skin concerns, and can be used routinely throughout the year to achieve and keep results that you’ll love.
