Would Hydrafacial help with texture and discoloration? (photos)

Question

Hi I am a 36 year old female who has skin texture issues and a lot of discolouration, would this facial work or would i need something else? thank you

Thanks for your question. The Hydrafacial is a great skin treatment that provides a deep cleanse through exfoliation, extraction and rehydration of the skin using targeted serums. It is hard to assess skin texture through a photo, however the Hydrafacial would not address concerns of texture and hyperpigmentation. You would likely benefit from a series of VI peels which are medium depth chemical peels which can help lift pigment and improve skin texture.

Hydrafacial are an amazing relaxing facial to pull out dirt and debris from the skin that is due to pollution and daily activities. Since you are wanting to focus on pigmentation, a chemical peel would best at address these concerns head on. VI Peel is the number 1 peel in the world, due to its little to no downtime, completely painless, and extremely effective. Also getting on skin care to help with discoloration and brightening will further your results. If you have more questions or would like to come in for a consultation to see the best products for you call 423-624-0021.

With the HydraFacial, along with it using a glysal peel during the treatment, there are different boosters that can be used to help treat specific concerns w/ your skin. This treatment should be done every 4-6 apart. If you are looking for something a little more invasive for your hyperpigmentation/ melasma & texture, microneedling and chemical peels (vi peel for example) would also work really well!

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis.  We see atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to discuss the best treatment options for your type of skin. .

If your main concerns are texture and pigmentation there are treatments that are more tailored to your concerns.  SkinPen is a great treatment that uses microneedling to improve overall skin tone and texture.  For pigmentation you can consider IPL treatments or chemical peels.  We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.
