Facial Rejuvenation with Hyperdermabrasion


Advertisement

Fine lines, wrinkles, and skin discoloration are only a few of the telltale signs of aging, but there are several non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatments available that can freshen up your look and even erase a few years. Hyperdermabrasion is one of the latest advances in facial rejuvenation, a treatment that combines the power of water and diamond abrasion to resurface the skin and give you that healthy glow. 
 
Hyperdermabrasion, also known as FacialH20, is designed by Syneron Medical, the same company that has developed the VelaShape and LipoLite body reshaping and contouring systems. The treatment is currently available at select medical spas and cosmetic surgery centers around the country, and could be a valuable alternative to microdermabrasion and other facial rejuvenation procedures on the market.

How Hyperdermabrasion Works

The FacialH20 system is designed with a diamond abrasion device that helps to resurface the skin with a microscopic exfoliation. This device is passed over the surface of the skin to polish it smooth, removing dead skin cells and getting rid of superficial lines, wrinkles and scars. The next step is the hydration system; water is swept across the skin at a very high velocity via a treatment tip secured on the device. The skin is also covered with a customized serum to cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate or deliver antioxidants deep into the skin’s layers. Syneron offers the following serums with various purposes:
  • Active-4™ - offers complete skin rejuvenation for most skin types
  • Beta-HD™ - a salicylic acid for acne-prone or oily skin
  • Antiox-6™- antioxidant treatment with hyaluronic acid
  • GlySal™ Acid Peels - a blend of glycolic acid and salicylic acids to provide both chemical and physical peeling with a single procedure
Hyperdermabrasion and the Facial H20 system are especially valuable for those who want to exfoliate, hydrate and nourish the skin with
vitamins and minerals in one session. The serums used in the treatment can penetrate deeper and provide lasting effects because they are applied when the skin can absorb the compounds quickly. 
 
Most people only need between 5-7 treatment s in order to brighten, tone and tighten up the skin, and treatments can be administered once every 7 to 10 days.

Key Benefits of Hyperdermabrasion

Hyperdermabrasion is a powerful exfoliating and skin brightening procedure that can help to unclog pores, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and tighten and tone the skin. The procedure is non-invasive, and results can be seen immediately. Most people will notice only slightly flushed skin because the top layer has been buffed away. Key benefits of this innovative treatment include:
  • Reduction of oily patches or darkened areas of the skin
  • Improved skin luminosity
  • More even skin tone
  • Reduction of acne and acne flare-ups
  • Non pore-clogging treatment
  • Adjustable and customizable for all skin types
  • Can be combined with photo rejuvenation and laser light therapies for enhanced results
