Hydrodermabrasion Facial Machine: How Long Does a Treatment Take?

In the modern skincare field, the hydrodermabrasion facial machine is gradually becoming a common professional device used in homes and beauty salons. It uses a unique water-refining technology, combining microcrystalline particles with water flow to deeply cleanse and care for the skin.

Many people have questions when using a hydrodermabrasion facial machine: How long does a single treatment take?

This article will provide detailed answers from multiple perspectives, including the treatment principles, timing, skin reactions, and precautions, helping you use the hydrodermabrasion facial machine more scientifically.

What is a hydrodermabrasion facial machine?

A hydrodermabrasion facial machine is a beauty device that uses the friction of water flow and microcrystalline particles to deeply cleanse and exfoliate facial skin. Its working principle is to use negative pressure suction and water flow to remove the stratum corneum, dirt, oil, and impurities clogging pores, while simultaneously delivering nutrients and moisture to the skin. Compared to traditional manual cleansing methods, the hydrodermabrasion facial machine is gentler and more effective, especially suitable for those with oily skin, clogged pores, or thicker skin.

How long does a hydrodermabrasion facial treatment take?

The treatment time often depends on several factors: skin condition, the area being treated, the type of device, and the user's experience. Generally, a hydrodermabrasion facial machine treatment can be divided into three parts:

1. Facial Cleansing Stage (approximately 5-10 minutes)

Before using the hydrodermabrasion device, surface cleansing is usually necessary to remove surface dirt and makeup residue. This stage uses warm water and a cleanser to ensure the skin surface is clean, creating favorable conditions for subsequent treatments. Some high-end hydrodermabrasion facial machines are equipped with a cleansing nozzle, which can assist in cleansing at this stage, making the stratum corneum easier to soften.

2. Hydrodermabrasion Exfoliation and Deep Cleansing Stage (approximately 10-20 minutes)

This is the core of the hydrodermabrasion facial treatment and also the longest part. During the treatment, the nozzle of the device should be moved slowly along the contours of the face, focusing on areas with clogged pores or thicker stratum corneum, such as the T-zone and chin. During the treatment, the device uses microcrystalline particles and water flow to abrade and remove dead skin cells and oil, while stimulating microcirculation and improving skin radiance. Depending on skin tolerance, a complete treatment typically lasts 10-20 minutes.

3. Skin Soothing and Moisturizing Phase (approximately 5-10 minutes)

After the treatment, the skin may experience slight redness or tightness. At this time, soothing and moisturizing are essential. A cooling spray, soothing serum, or moisturizing mask can be used to help the skin restore balance and lock in moisture. Although this phase is short, it is crucial for improving skin texture and prolonging the treatment's effects.

In summary, the total time for a complete hydrodermabrasion facial treatment is approximately 20-40 minutes, depending on individual skin type and the model of the device.

Why shouldn't the treatment time for a hydrodermabrasion facial machine be too long?

Many people believe that the longer the treatment time, the better the cleansing effect. However, in reality, prolonged use can burden the skin. The main reasons are as follows:

1. Potential Damage to the Skin Barrier

The Hydrodermabrasion facial machine removes dead skin cells through friction and negative pressure. Overuse may weaken the skin's natural barrier, making it more prone to sensitivity, dryness, or broken capillaries.

2. Increased Burden on Microvessels

Continuous friction can cause pressure on facial microvessels, especially in delicate areas such as around the eyes and cheekbones. Long-term overuse can cause skin congestion and micro-damage.

3. Diminishing Results

The skin's keratin renewal cycle is approximately 28 days. Overly frequent or prolonged treatments will not further improve skin condition and may even increase irritation.

Therefore, controlling each treatment time to 20-40 minutes, and adjusting appropriately according to skin tolerance, is key to maintaining healthy skin.

Is the Hydrodermabrasion facial machine suitable for daily use?

While the Hydrodermabrasion facial machine is safe and effective, it is not suitable for daily use. The reasons are as follows:

1. The natural protective function of the stratum corneum

The stratum corneum not only provides protection but also locks in moisture. Daily exfoliation can damage the skin barrier, leading to dryness or sensitivity.

2. Skin needs time to repair itself

After using a hydrodermabrasion facial machine, the skin needs time to repair micro-damage and adjust its oil-water balance. Excessive frequency may lead to accumulated skin irritation.

It is generally recommended to use it 1-2 times per week. Those with excessive oil secretion or severely clogged pores can increase this to 2-3 times per week, but should avoid using it on consecutive days.

Does the treatment time depend on skin type?

Yes, skin type directly affects the usage time and intensity of the hydrodermabrasion facial machine.

1. Oily skin

With excessive oil secretion and a thicker stratum corneum, the treatment time can be slightly longer, about 20-30 minutes, but excessive friction should be avoided.

2. Dry skin

With a thinner stratum corneum, the treatment time should be controlled to 15-20 minutes, focusing on moisturizing and soothing.

3. Sensitive Skin

It is recommended to use the low-intensity mode and limit the treatment time to no more than 15 minutes to avoid facial redness or discomfort.

4. Combination Skin

Different areas can be treated separately. The oilier T-zone can be treated for a slightly longer time, while dry areas should be treated with less friction.

How to Determine if the Treatment Time is Appropriate?

When using the Hydrodermabrasion Facial Machine, you can use the following criteria to determine if the time is appropriate:

1. Skin Condition

Slight warmth or redness of the skin during the treatment is normal. However, if significant stinging or redness occurs, stop immediately.

2. Treatment Results

Smooth removal of dead skin cells and impurities, followed by a smooth skin feel, indicates that the treatment time is appropriate.

3. Comfort

If the user feels comfortable during the operation, without noticeable pulling or discomfort, the treatment time and intensity are appropriate.

Optimal Timing Recommendations for Hydrodermabrasion Facial Machine Treatments

To achieve the best results and protect skin health, here are recommended treatment times:

1. Standard Treatment

• Cleansing: 5-10 minutes

• Exfoliation: 10-20 minutes

• Soothing & Moisturizing: 5-10 minutes

2. Sensitive or First-Time Use

• Cleansing: 5 minutes

• Exfoliation: Under 10 minutes

• Moisturizing: 5 minutes

3. Oily or Thick-Skinned

• Cleansing: 10 minutes

• Exfoliation: Approximately 20 minutes

• Moisturizing: 10 minutes

Precautions for Using the Hydrodermabrasion Facial Machine

In addition to controlling treatment time, please also note the following:

• Avoid direct friction around the eyes: The skin around the eyes is thin, and direct friction from the device can easily cause redness or fine lines.

• Thoroughly cleanse before treatment: Avoid makeup residue clogging pores and affecting the treatment's effectiveness.

• Moisturize promptly after treatment: The water-based exfoliation process may remove some moisture.Immediate hydration and applying a soothing serum can reduce dryness and tightness.

• Clean the device regularly: Keep the device nozzles clean to prevent bacterial growth and ensure safety and hygiene.
