How Does It Work?
The Essential HydraFacial® employs a multi-step process to transform your skin. It starts with cleansing and exfoliation, followed by gentle extractions to clear impurities. Then, a nourishing serum is applied, and finally, the skin is saturated with antioxidants and peptides for a radiant glow.
Possible Side Effects:
This treatment typically has no side effects, but mild redness or tenderness, which subside within a few days, may occasionally occur. Cultura will recommend products and prescriptions to minimize the redness.
What to Expect:
You can expect immediate improvements in skin texture and tone, with continued enhancement over time.
