PLASTIC SURGERY

Paul Vanek, MD, FACS

Q:Is a Hydra Facial different than a regular facial?

A:There is a big difference, especially with “Hydrafacial MD,” of which I am the only Lake County Plastic Surgeon offering it. Skincare has never seen advances like we are seeing now. Hydrafacial MD is a product of science and skin nutrition. This is not a gimmick; it has taken skincare by storm because it gets almost instant results with healthier glowing skin. Hydrafacials are vortex vacuum systems that cleanse, exfoliate, extract and have glycolic peels. Beyond these, Hydrafacial MD adds elements of microdermabrasion and hydrates the skin. The process cleans the skin, pores, and refreshes skin texture immediately. The benefits and appearance far outlast a traditional facial with no down time. It can also be performed with Lymphatic drainage or Red/Blue light therapy, which can help product penetration along with anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. Hydrafacial MD has a specialty vial called Connective Tissue Growth Factor, a natural protein in our bodies and skin. You can see CTGF benefits at first glance in the mirror. It lessens the appearance of lines and wrinkles, creates firmer skin with a more even tone, enhances quicker cell regeneration, and promotes production of elastic fibers and collagen in your skin. I have an outstanding Aesthetician in my office, Betsy, who is very experienced in properly providing this treatment. Knowing the importance of proper skincare, we offer Hydrafacial MD at a lower cost than others, but we expect a price increase in the near future. Call Betsy today and discover why this is my own personal favorite skin treatment.
