Humans have been trying to develop the perfect facial for over 5,000 years, as evidenced by the Ancient Egyptians, who started treating their facial skin with milk and honey masks in about 3000 BCE. As of 2700 BCE, the ancient Chinese used masks made from rice water, ginseng, and pearl powder as a reportedly effective anti-aging, skin-brightening facial. Mesopotamians mixed oils and pulverized seeds to create cleansing and exfoliating facials starting in about 2000 BCE. The ancient Greeks and Romans used ground pumice for exfoliation and mixtures of olive oil and honey for moisturizing and skin protection.
There’s been no lack of ingenuity when it comes to efforts to develop the perfect facial over the centuries. Consider these innovative facial treatments:
- Leech facial—popularized in the 1800s, a facial that uses leech-extracted blood from other parts of the body.
- Snail facial—mucin secreted by the snail reportedly repairs skin, regenerates skin cells, and promotes collagen production.
- Thai Slap Facial—reportedly enhances facial contours and increases blood flow to the skin.
- Fire facial—the flames of an alcohol-soaked towel over the face are extinguished before they can cause damage, reportedly leaving the face with a radiant glow.
- Bee sting facial—purportedly works like Botox® to diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles, but we think we’ll pass.
We assume that you’ll also take a pass on trying these facial treatments. However, if you’re looking for an innovative facial with proven benefits in Naples, Southwest Florida’s Tru Glō Medspa suggests you experience the skin renewal benefits offered by HydraFacial®. This non-invasive, medical-grade skin treatment uses patented technology and proprietary skin-conditioning serums to deeply cleanse, peel, unclog, moisturize, and revitalize the skin. Let’s take a closer look at what HydraFacial® skincare treatment entails and the benefits it provides.
What is HydraFacial® Treatment?
HydraFacial® delivers medical-grade skin treatment with a patented “Vortex-Fusion” medical device that uses proprietary acid peel solutions and skin conditioners. The four-step facial gently provides a deep cleaning, unclogs pores, extracts dead skin cells and contaminants, and infuses the skin with powerful moisturizers, antioxidants, and peptides. Just one 45-minute HydraFacial® session in Naples with Tru Glō Medspa effectively treats numerous skin conditions. It gives clients a radiant glow, while regular HydraFacial® treatments help maintain optimal skin health and help keep visible signs of aging at bay.
During a HydraFacial® session, rotating brushes within the applicator gently cleanse the upper skin layers with a personalized cleaning serum. The applicator then applies a proprietary peeling agent to the skin, and patented vacuum technology gently removes the top layer to reduce the appearance of lines, acne scars, and other imperfections. The multi-purpose vacuum technology then creates a vortex effect that unclogs pores and dislodges and removes blackheads, dead skin cells, and other debris. This vortex action then delivers serums and skin conditioners into the deeper skin layers in what’s known as a vortex fusion.
HydraFacial’s® wide selection of proprietary skin serums allows patients to customize their skincare treatment to address distinct skin concerns, including:
- Sunspots and other sun damage
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Clogged pores
- Enlarged pores
- Blackheads
- Dry skin
