Skincare has become very important to me over the last year, and I have been very diligent about sticking to a routine that works for me. I’ve tested different products and I’ve found a skincare regimen that has significantly improved my skin, but sometimes I like to try something new and see what kind of benefits I can find in different treatments.
Enter the HydraFacial from Smooth Effects Kelowna. HydraFacial is a medical grade facial that uses hydradermabrasion to cleanse, exfoliate, extract and hydrate the skin. It’s great for acne, fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, clogged or enlarged pores and more. The technician can customize the treatment to target many different issues with your skin.
I really had no idea what to expect when I arrived for my HydraFacial, but Smooth Effects owner Kelsey Agar explained the whole process in detail. She was so knowledgeable in skin and skincare products. When I left, I went home and started researching my skincare products and searching for the keywords that she had mentioned.
Most of the process uses a pen-type tool with different tips for different steps. The three different steps are:
- Cleanse & Peel – Uncover a new layer of skin with a gentle exfoliation and relaxing resurfacing.
- Extract & Hydrate – Remove debris from pores with painless suction. Nourish with intense moisturizers that quench the skin.
- Fuse & Protect – Saturate the skin’s surface with antioxidants and peptides to maximize your glow.
She finished my HyrdraFacial with LED light therapy, which helps to reduce signs of aging.
The treatment has no downtime or discomfort – my face wasn’t even red when I left, which seems crazy because the HydraFacial literally suctions your face. My face immediately looked brighter and felt tight. I noticed that the blackheads I normally have on my chin and nose had mostly disappeared. Kelsey even showed me the water from the treatment and it was full of the gunk that had come out of my face. Gross.
If there is one word that I could use to describe what my face felt like after the HydraFacial, it would be ‘clean’, and clean skin feels great.
A HydraFacial from Smooth Effects Kelowna would make a great Christmas gift for anyone in your life who cares about their skin and deserves to be pampered. And for the month of December, they are offering BOGO 50% off as well!
