Here we focus on the HydraFacial, an advanced water peeling device also known as a "pore vacuum cleaner. Please refer to the following example of the treatment process at YAYOI CLINIC in Hiroshima City.
■Counseling
Before undergoing a treatment, a counseling session is held first. During the counseling, the doctor will examine your skin and body condition and suggest a treatment tailored to your individual concerns. Be sure to ask about any questions or concerns you have about the treatment, as well as any disadvantages such as the effects or side effects of pore cleansing. In addition, if you have sensitive skin or are using any skin care products or taking any medications that you normally use, consult with the doctor in advance.
■Treatment
The HydraFacial pore treatment procedure consists of the following three steps
Step 1: Cleansing + Peeling
A deep cleansing is performed by using a chemical to soften the sebum stains. After cleansing, the tip is changed to a suction tip to perform the peeling.
Step 2: Pore suction + Moisturizer
Pore suction and moisturizing are performed at the same time. A salicylic acid-containing agent is used to soften the inside of the pores and firmly suck out the sebum deep inside, while introducing moisturizing ingredients.
Step 3: Introduction of serum + protection
A serum is introduced to protect the skin, and YAYOI CLINIC offers a head massage at the end to stimulate blood circulation in the scalp.

After the treatment, it is important to use moisturizing cream prescribed by the clinic to prevent skin from drying out. On the day of treatment, refrain from excessive exercise and alcohol consumption, and be sure to get enough sleep.

Since the removal of keratin plugs with the HydraFacial can cause pores to temporarily open up, many of our clients use TriBeam after the treatment, toning for those who need melanin care, or pore tightening with long pulse lasers on the same day of treatment.
