HydraFacial is a non-invasive multistep facial designed to address several skin conditions at once, such as fine lines and wrinkles, elasticity and firmness issues, brown spots, oily or congested skin conditions, or enlarged pores.
HydraFacial CONNECT, the industry-first certification designed specifically to elevate beauty health professionals’ expertise and business success, features comprehensive curriculum, virtual training opportunities, and hands-on opportunities over three levels of certification.
The HydraFacial CONNECT Certification Program
HydraFacial CONNECT, the three-level industry certification program launched by HydraFacial Company this year, allows aestheticians across the country to offer clients high-tech facials that deliver instantaneous results. Aestheticians now have access to this innovative service that promises immediate results. HydraFacial CONNECT allows aesthetic professionals to enhance both their beauty business skills while expanding knowledge about skin health while broadening knowledge about aesthetic medicine – while simultaneously developing selling and marketing techniques that create value.
HydraFacial is a multistep treatment using a medical-grade hydradermabrasion device to cleanse, exfoliate and deliver nourishing ingredients into the skin through exfoliation and an anti-ageing serum. The device features two patented treatment tips – one to remove dead skin cells while the other helps irrigate pores – as well as a vacuum to suck out dirt, oil and debris from pores before administering serum to your face. In addition to applying serum, HydraFacial can also apply peptides/antioxidants/moisturizers into your routine skin routine!
Proponents of HydraFacial praise its ability to instantly enhance skin tone and texture while helping prevent fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, clogged pores, rosacea acne breakouts and other common skin concerns. HydraFacial can also serve as a prelude for other treatments like photofacials with LED light therapy for killing bacteria or redness reduction, or microneedling to stimulate collagen production to tighten and tighten over time.
HydraFacial treatments are well known for their detoxifying capabilities. The treatment helps clear away pores, helping reduce blackheads and other blemishes as well as prevent mini clogged pores from turning into full-on pimples. In addition, its tip has been specially designed to “suck out” debris that has collected in pores in order to help decrease sebum production and avoid breakouts.
HydraFacial may not provide dramatic results like laser treatment or microneedling do; however, Sarah Akram of her skincare spa in Alexandria Virginia who specializes in HydraFacial treatments explains it can still be an effective alternative that should be added into existing regimens. Many clients visit for HydraFacial sessions before an event to achieve more radiant skin; other opt for it regularly as part of their skin care regime.
Level 1
HydraFacials are multistep facial treatments performed using a proprietary device equipped with Hydradermabrasion technology to cleanse, exfoliate and deliver rejuvenating serums to provide instantaneous glowing skin in just 30 minutes. Perfect before special events or as part of regular skincare regimen, HydraFacials provide instant gratifying glow while simultaneously helping maintain clear and healthy complexion.
According to the company, its groundbreaking CONNECT industry certification program was developed with an eye toward elevating beauty health professionals and their careers through respect and recognition. It combines skin health expertise with business skills such as social media, marketing, cross-selling and event hosting in order to offer an holistic approach to aesthetic education.
HydraFacial Connect Master certification program offers estheticians a three-step learning journey that uses online, self-paced educational materials and live hands-on training sessions to guide them along. At each level completion, participants receive HydraFacial’s certification as HydraFacial Connect Masters – qualifying them for continuing education credits in most states and having their instructional quality approved by both National Esthetician Certification Agency (NCEA) and Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE), according to Leah Argento who directs global professional Development.
After completing the first two levels of this program, estheticians will have an understanding of HydraFacial’s benefits on all skin types and how best to deliver treatment protocols to clients. Furthermore, HydraFacial Connect Professionals have knowledge and experience using top-of-the-line home care products, which they know how to incorporate into clients’ beauty regimen.
HydraFacial treatments are non-irritating and suitable for all skin types, offering relief for multiple issues that plague facial features such as fine lines and wrinkles, brown spots, enlarged pores, uneven tone and texture, oily/congested skin and dehydration. Furthermore, this procedure may help decrease acne breakouts by blocking off blockages that form along facial veins and pores.
HydraFacial services have become an increasingly popular service, particularly among millennials who care about their appearance and want clear and glowing skin. HydraFacial treatments may also benefit older clients with fine lines and wrinkles or dark spots; treatment should ideally take place monthly in order to achieve optimal skin health.
Level 2
Licensed aestheticians who wish to elevate their career and provide better customer service can now learn to perform HydraFacial treatments. This non-invasive yet painless facial cleansing procedure combines exfoliation, extraction and hydration for healthy skin with no downtime or discomfort – ideal for acne, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, pore size issues, brown spots or rosacea concerns.
HydraFacial Company recently unveiled a groundbreaking three-level industry certification program called HydraFacial CONNECT which brings advanced estheticians recognition, respect and rewards. HydraFacial CONNECT blends skin health expertise with selling/marketing/influencing skills for an integrated beauty education approach.
In addition to its new HydraFacial CONNECT platform, The HydraFacial Company will soon unveil an easy-to-use mobile application that makes finding, booking and receiving a HydraFacial from any stylist or spa easier for consumers. Individuals will take a simple skin assessment through this app in order to assess whether HydraFacial treatment is right for them.
HydraFacial treatments have quickly become one of the most sought-after services, offering immediate results with “wow factor,” according to Sarah Akram of Sarah Akram Skincare in Alexandria, Virginia. Sarah recommends getting this done before an important event to achieve “that glow,” or simply on an ongoing basis for healthy skin and radiant beauty.
HydraFacial can be combined with other treatments, including LED light therapy to kill bacteria and reduce inflammation, radiofrequency technology to shrink pores and boost collagen for firmer skin, microneedling to stimulate more collagen production over time, or microneedling to stimulate more collagen production over time. HydraFacial also works well when combined with injectable treatments like Botox or dermal fillers to improve appearance of crow’s feet or frown lines.
Participants of a clinical trial of HydraFacial reported that it was well received. Participants commonly experienced side effects including erythema, tingling and mild itching; all these side effects were temporary and quickly resolved after receiving their first session of HydraFacial.
Starting July 2020, licensed aestheticians in the U.S. can enroll in HydraFacial CONNECT certification program and self-pace it online or self-pacedly through six levels, receiving personalized coaching from HydraFacial CONNECT Master Educators as you move through them. Once reaching Expert Level 2, participants are invited to take part in HFX two-day live flagship training to bring everything together for them.
Level 3
HydraFacials are multistep facial treatments designed to exfoliate, extract and then administer rejuvenating serums in multiple steps for instant and long-lasting results. Their patented vortex technology removes dead skin cells while significantly increasing hydration of skin – all without irritating and instantly effective results! Among their targets include fine lines and wrinkles, elasticity/firmness/texture/brown spots/oily congested skin/large pores/sun damage as well as uneven tone vibrancy. Many clients also schedule regular facials so as to maintain appearance of healthy skin appearance!
HydraFacial Company’s training curriculum for providers and HydraFacialists recently graduated its inaugural class of Connect Masters – its highest distinction. This consists of online learning modules with self-paced content that participants can pause/resume at any point as well as in-center and virtual education events led by master trainers and certified aestheticians from The HydraFacial Company.
HydraFacial stands out from traditional facials by going deeper to remove impurities, while infusing antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid into the skin. Although similar to microdermabrasion in terms of its ability to exfoliate cells of debris from beneath, Akram states that HydraFacial is nonabrasive and will not lead to redness compared with microdermabrasion treatments.
Aestheticians typically recommend multiple treatments in order to achieve lasting results for their clients, while HydraFacial’s innovative technology enables fewer sessions with visible improvements to skin appearance in between each session, according to Carnell. Now performed every 15 seconds around the world, HydraFacial claims its technology improves skin by over 85% after only three treatments according to one recent study.
HydraFacial treatments are generally safe, though pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid it due to salicylic acid contained in its ingredients; Akram warns against its use at this time as there have been no tests done with pregnant women to evaluate its effects and recommends against its use during this timeframe.
