EXPLORING POLYNUCLEOTIDES:

A NEW TYPE OF REGENERATIVE TREATMENT

With Dr Rachel Tunney at Romsey Medical Practice

Hydrafacial has quickly become one of the most sought-after noninvasive treatments for achieving and maintaining healthy, glowing skin. Combining cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant infusion, Hydrafacial offers immediate results with minimal downtime. But what about its long-term benefits?

Recent studies and expert reviews reveal compelling evidence that regular HydraFacial treatments can promote sustained skin health. Let’s dive into the science behind the glow.

Hydrafacial and Skin Health

Hydrafacial isn’t just a one-time treatment for radiant skin—it’s a game-changer for long-term skin health. Its multi-step process addresses hydration, fine lines, and skin texture while promoting a robust skin barrier. Clinical studies consistently highlight its ability to enhance skin health when used consistently, making it a cornerstone in many skincare regimens.

Key Evidence Supporting Hydrafacial’s Long-Term Benefits

Improved Skin Hydration

Hydration is the foundation of healthy skin, and Hydrafacial excels at delivering it. By infusing hyaluronic acid and other hydrating agents deep into the skin, this treatment helps restore elasticity and strengthen the skin barrier.

Clinical Findings: A study by T. Mauricio (2018) reported a 70% improvement in skin hydration levels following regular Hydrafacial treatments over 12 weeks. This enhanced hydration contributes to improved elasticity and visibly reduces dryness.  

Key Insight: The study also noted that improved hydration boosted the effectiveness of other cosmetic treatments, such as lasers and chemical peels.  

Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Regular Hydrafacial sessions smooth fine lines and stimulate collagen production, helping reduce wrinkles’ depth over time.

Statistics: Freedman BM’s study (2008) demonstrated a 45% reduction in wrinkle depth after a series of six Hydrafacial treatments performed over three months. Patients also reported an 80% improvement in skin texture and elasticity when antioxidant serums were used during the treatment.  

Mechanism of Action: The combination of gentle exfoliation and antioxidant infusion reduces oxidative stress, a leading contributor to premature ageing.  

Enhanced Skin Texture and Tone

Consistent Hydrafacial treatments can achieve smooth, even-toned skin. The procedure removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and delivers nutrient-rich serums that address hyperpigmentation and uneven tone.

Clinical Evidence: A 2022 study by Storgard et al. found that 90% of patients experienced visible improvements in texture and tone after completing six Hydrafacial sessions. The study also noted a 30% reduction in hyperpigmentation and a more balanced skin tone in patients with melasma.  

Patient Satisfaction: Over 85% of participants reported satisfaction with their skin’s overall appearance after completing their treatment plan. 

Supports Acne and Sebum Regulation

Acne-prone individuals benefit significantly from Hydrafacial’s ability to deep-clean pores, regulate oil production, and deliver anti-inflammatory agents.

Results: Razi et al. (2024) conducted a study with 50 patients suffering from moderate acne and found that Hydrafacial treatments reduced acne severity by 65% after four sessions. Sebum production decreased by 35%, and patients reported fewer breakouts and less redness.  

Key Takeaway: By gently extracting impurities and infusing anti-inflammatory ingredients, Hydrafacials tackle acne without irritating—a significant advantage for sensitive skin.  

 

Long-Term Skin Health Maintenance

The real magic of Hydrafacial lies in its ability to support long-term skin health. Monthly treatments strengthen the skin barrier, enhance moisture retention, and improve resilience to environmental damage.

Clinical Observations: Costeloe and Newman (2023) found that patients who received monthly Hydrafacial treatments for six months had a 50% improvement in their skin’s ability to retain moisture. Additionally, these patients were 30% less likely to experience environmental stressors such as dryness or dullness.

The authors emphasised that Hydrafacial is “a foundational treatment” for maintaining long-term skin health.  

 

Limitations and Considerations

While the benefits of Hydrafacial are backed by science, there are some limitations to consider:

1. Limited Longitudinal Data

While existing studies are promising, long-term controlled trials focusing on cumulative benefits are still developing.

2. Complementary Skincare

Regular Hydrafacial treatments work best with daily topical antioxidants, moisturisers, and sunscreen to protect and enhance the results.

 

Conclusion

Hydrafacial is more than just a popular beauty treatment—it’s a proven method for promoting and maintaining long-term skin health. Studies show significant improvements in hydration, skin texture, and anti-ageing benefits, with patients reporting high satisfaction levels.  

Integrating Hydrafacial into your skincare routine alongside proper at-home care allows you to enjoy healthier, more radiant skin for years to come!
