I have been lucky enough to have tried almost every facial at Advanced Skin Care Clinic, so when the clinic announced that they were the first in Alberta to have the HydroDermPro, I booked myself in right away.

The HydroDermPro machine itself is small and sleek and offers a fully customizable experience. The machine has four hand pieces:

The HydroDerm Handle has nine different HydroDerm tips, these are used for HydroDermabrasion. In one motion, this hand piece cleans, exfoliates, opens pores, extracts, detoxifies, hydrates, infuses vitamins and restores PH balance of the skin.

The Radio Frequency Handle looks like an antenna and provides what feels like a hot stone massage to the face. Radio Frequency improves blood circulation, this stimulates the regeneration of collagen and elastin, which reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

The Ultrasonic Wave Spatula has two functions; in one direction this tool uses ultrasonic waves to deepen the skin’s absorption of the active ingredients being applied to the skin. In the other direction it uses ultrasonic waves to push debris out of the pores, think painless extractions.

With all of the hand pieces and customizations, this facial will be slightly different for everyone depending on what the objective of the appointment is. I was in need of a serious cleanup, thanks to my ever-changing hormones clogging up my pores, for which I would normally book a Full Microdermabrasion treatment.
