HYDRABRASION
HYDRABRASION
Hydrabrasion combines the exfoliation technique from microdermabrasion with a wet process to thoroughly cleanse your pores. It's a combination of two types of exfoliating techniques.
WHAT IS HYDRABRASION?
The ongoing use of makeup, sunscreen and skincare products can clog up and congest your skin, resulting in breakouts and a dull complexion. At home cleansing and exfoliate can only clean the skin so far.
Unclog blocked pores and exfoliate dead skin cells to reveal smooth and refreshed skin with this two step treatment.
Hydrabrasion combines the exfoliation technique from microdermabrasion with a wet process to thoroughly cleanse your pores.
Step 1. Diamond tip microdermabrasion will buff away your dead skin and decongest your pores.
Step 2. Our hydrabrasion treatment uses water to flush out and clean your pores, leaving your skin thoroughly cleansed and hydrated.
Hydrabrasion is an effective, yet gentle, exfoliation and cleansing treatment that is suitable for most skin types.

HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK?
HYDRA-EXFOLIATE
The HydraBrasion treatment exfoliates and extracts using a diamond tip dermabrasion. Simultaneously, dead skin cells are suctioned and transported into a waste container.
HYDRA-STIMULATE
HydraBrasion stimulates circulation and improves blood flow, which aids in tissue repair and reveals smoother skin. This treatment promotes collagen and elastin production, as well as cell renewal.
HYDRA-INFUSE
This advanced technology system accepts a number of different serums targeting concerns such as acne, hydration & glowing. These serums are infused into the skin, providing nutrients and allowing for deeper penetration and absorption.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
We tell client’s to anticipate an hour to hour and a half for the entire process of numbing and the full treatment.
IS IT PAINFUL?
We recommend the same numbing protocol as is used for a traditional microneedling treatment. This involves topical numbing cream applied prior to your appointment. Because the efficacy of the Opus treatment is dependent on the aggressiveness of the settings used, we recommend a minimum of 60 minutes with the numbing cream.
