Aqua
Facial uses negative pressure and gentle exfoliating solution to create a
vortex to dissolve and extract impurities including dead skin cells, blackheads
and excess sebum, and leave your skin flooded with hydration from the solution.
Your
skin will feel hydrated, fresh and smooth afterwards, also, fine lines,
blackheads and acne are improved. It’s essentially a peel, microdermabrasion,
and hydrating mask all in one, but without the use of harsh wands, or pure
suction force to remove impurities, hence no damage is done to the skin.
No.
Microdermabrasion and diamond peel use hard tips to mechanically remove dead
skin cells, dirt and excess oil on the skin surface.
On
the other hand, aqua facial is similar to hydra facial as both use vacuum and
gentle exfoliating solution to exfoliate, extract and hydrate. Hence, both are
much less likely to sensitize or damage the skin as no hard tips are used, and
can deep cleanse the skin instead of just exfoliating the surface of the skin.
But aqua
facial is more time saving as each session only takes 15 minutes, while hydra
facial takes 30 minutes, and thanks to W Skin, aqua facial is now available in
the comfort of your own home.
No, it
should not hurt. If it hurts it either means that you are staying in one area
for too long (do not stay in the same area for more than 3 seconds) or the power
is too strong for your skin, in this case you should adjust the settings on the
device.
Our solution
is formulated to be gentle, non-irritating yet effective. If you decide to use
another type of solution, it is important that it is a basic exfoliating
solution that is transparent, water-based, and has a low
viscosity (ie. a “thin” texture). Only when following these requirements, the device will
work optimally.
Each
treatment session should be within 15 minutes, it is important that you treat
each area individually, one small area of your face at a time, and do not stay
in the same area for more than 3 seconds.
Our
device does not require any recovery time, your skin will be a little red
after the treatment but you can apply makeup right after and carry on with
daily activities, hence, it is referred to as lunchtime treatment in Korea.
After
treatment you should gently wipe the solution residue off your skin, using hand
drying napkins or a towel. You can also wash your face with some cleansing
lotion and water. It is recommended to use a moisturizer or hydrating mask
after the treatment to achieve even better result. For daytime, always follow
with sunscreen.
You
can see results right after the first treatment such as fewer blackheads and
whiteheads, but you will notice even more significant results 1 or 2 days
after. The texture of your skin will be smoother, your pores will be cleansed
and your skin will look healthier.
The
results will improve over time and with every use, but as with any skin care
product you will lose the results if you do not keep up the routine. You will
see gradual improvements within a week after the treatment, but since your skin
regenerates every 28-days, it is recommended that you perform the treatment
once a week if you have oily skin, once in two weeks if you have dry/sensitive
skin.
