Aqua dermabrasion, also known as hydro dermabrasion, is a skincare treatment that combines the exfoliating benefits of traditional dermabrasion with the hydrating effects of water. It is a non-invasive procedure that rejuvenates and improves the appearance of the skin.

During an aqua dermabrasion treatment, a specialized handheld device is used to exfoliate the skin using a stream of water and a controlled flow of abrasive particles or a diamond-tipped wand. The water serves multiple purposes: it helps to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and flush out impurities from the skin's surface.

The intensity of the exfoliation can be adjusted to suit individual skin types and concerns, making it a versatile treatment for a range of skin issues. Aqua dermabrasion is generally gentle and suitable for sensitive skin, as the water helps to minimize discomfort and reduce irritation compared to traditional dermabrasion methods.

The exfoliation process in aqua dermabrasion helps to promote cell turnover, revealing fresher, smoother skin underneath. It can improve the appearance of various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and congested pores. The water used in the treatment also helps to hydrate the skin, leaving it plump, supple, and more radiant.

For mild skin concerns or regular maintenance, a series of 4 to 6 treatments, spaced about 2 to 4 weeks apart, may be sufficient. This allows for the gradual improvement of the skin over time.

For more severe skin issues, such as acne scars or deep wrinkles, a longer series of treatments may be necessary. This can range from 6 to 10 sessions or more, with similar intervals between each treatment. The exact number of sessions will be determined by our doctor based on the individual's progress and response to the treatment.

Aqua dermabrasion can yield several positive results for the skin. Here are some of the potential benefits and outcomes that can be achieved with this treatment:

Exfoliation and Smoother Skin: Aqua dermabrasion effectively exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and revealing a smoother, more refined complexion. This can help improve skin texture and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Hydration and Radiance: The infusion of water during aqua dermabrasion provides hydration to the skin, leaving it plump, moisturized, and radiant. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with dry or dehydrated skin.

Improved Skin Tone and Texture: Aqua dermabrasion can help even out skin tone and diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation, age spots, and sun damage. It can also address rough or uneven skin texture, resulting in a more uniform and smoother skin surface.

Reduction of Acne and Acne Scars: Aqua dermabrasion can help unclog pores, remove excess oil, and reduce the appearance of acne blemishes. It can also be effective in minimizing the visibility of acne scars and promoting skin healing.

Enhanced Product Absorption: By exfoliating the skin and removing barriers like dead skin cells, aqua dermabrasion can improve the absorption and efficacy of skincare products applied afterward. This allows for better penetration of serums, moisturizers, and other topical treatments, maximizing their benefits.

Pore Cleansing and Reduced Congestion: The combination of water and exfoliation in aqua dermabrasion helps to clear out impurities, dirt, and debris from the pores. This can lead to reduced pore size, decreased blackheads, and a more refined complexion.

Aqua dermabrasion is generally suitable for a wide range of individuals and skin types, including sensitive skin, as the water used in the treatment helps to minimize discomfort and reduce irritation.

It is a versatile treatment that can address various skin concerns.

Aftercare following aqua dermabrasion is crucial to optimize the results of the treatment and ensure proper healing and maintenance of the skin. Here are some guidelines for post-aqua dermabrasion care:

Moisturize: After aqua dermabrasion, it's important to moisturize your skin regularly to keep it hydrated and help restore its natural moisture barrier. Use a gentle, non-irritating moisturizer that is suitable for your skin type. Apply it liberally and as often as needed to prevent dryness.

Sun Protection: Protecting your skin from the sun is essential after aqua dermabrasion. The newly revealed skin is more susceptible to sun damage, so apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher whenever you go outside. Reapply sunscreen every two hours, or more frequently if you are sweating or swimming.

Avoid Direct Sun Exposure: In addition to using sunscreen, it's advisable to limit your sun exposure, especially during peak hours when the sun's rays are the strongest. If possible, wear a wide-brimmed hat, seek shade, or use protective clothing to shield your skin from direct sunlight.

Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse your face gently after aqua dermabrasion. Use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser to avoid further irritation or damage to the skin. Pat your face dry with a soft towel instead of rubbing it.

Avoid Harsh Products and Treatments: Refrain from using harsh skincare products, such as strong chemical peels or exfoliants, for at least a week following aqua dermabrasion. These can cause additional irritation and compromise the healing process. Allow your skin time to recover before introducing any new products or treatments.

Avoid Touching or Picking: It's important to resist the temptation to touch, scratch, or pick at your skin after aqua dermabrasion. This can introduce bacteria and potentially lead to infections or scarring. Let your skin heal naturally.

Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your body and skin hydrated from within. Proper hydration promotes skin health and aids in the recovery process.

Follow Professional Recommendations: Our skincare professionals will provide specific post-treatment instructions based on your skin's condition and the intensity of the aqua dermabrasion treatment. It's important to follow their guidance and any personalized aftercare recommendations they provide.

If you have any concerns or experience prolonged redness, excessive swelling, pain, or other unexpected side effects after aqua dermabrasion, reach out to our skincare professionals for further guidance and assistance.

Aqua dermabrasion typically has minimal downtime compared to more invasive procedures like traditional dermabrasion. However, the exact amount of downtime can vary depending on the intensity of the treatment and individual skin sensitivity. Here are some considerations regarding downtime after aqua dermabrasion:

Redness: It is common to experience temporary redness in the treated area immediately after aqua dermabrasion. The intensity and duration of redness can vary from person to person but generally subside within a few hours to a day.

Sensitivity: Your skin may be more sensitive following the treatment. It's important to avoid exposing your skin to harsh products, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight, as these can further irritate the skin. Protect your skin and give it time to recover.

Dryness and Peeling: Some individuals may experience mild dryness or flaking of the skin as part of the exfoliation process. This is a normal occurrence and can be managed by following a gentle moisturizing routine. Avoid picking or exfoliating the skin forcefully, as it may lead to irritation or scarring.

Makeup and Skincare Products: It is generally recommended to avoid using heavy makeup and certain skincare products immediately after aqua dermabrasion. Give your skin time to heal and breathe. If necessary, use minimal makeup or opt for products specifically designed for post-treatment use. Your skincare professional can provide specific recommendations.

Return to Activities: Most individuals can resume their regular activities immediately after aqua dermabrasion. However, it's important to listen to your skin and avoid strenuous activities, excessive sweating, or exposure to factors that can potentially compromise the healing process.
