HydraFacials, sometimes called hydradermabrasions, are skin treatments that combine a deep cleaning, exfoliating treatment that is similar to microdermabrasion, a skin peel, a pore extraction treatment, and intense hydrating serums. This versatile treatment option is effective in addressing a variety of concerns including chronic skin conditions, fine lines and wrinkles, general facial dryness, and other minor concerns related to skin health. Importantly, the serums and products used are customizable, meaning a HydraFacial can be used for anyone with almost any skin type. It’s hard to recommend any treatment to every patient, but a HydraFacial is one that can be suggested for just about anyone. HydraFacials offer a variety of benefits with few to no side effects. It’s a great way to improve skin health. This blog explains more about the top five benefits of HydraFacials as well as what to expect from this non-invasive treatment.

1 – Improve Skin Tone

Whether you struggle with patchy or uneven skin tone or you’re looking to diminish the appearance of sun damage or dark spots, HydraFacials are a great step to improve the skin’s overall coloring. In the past, people had to rely on laser therapies or other more abrasive treatments to address these issues, but these solutions aren’t ideal for every patient, including those who have sensitive skin. HydraFacials can offer solutions for these skin concerns, but they are gentler and less abrasive, meaning a HydraFacial is safe for even the most sensitive skin.

2 – Reduce the Appearance of Fine Lines & Wrinkles

As we age, the skin loses some of its youthful fullness and elasticity as collagen and elastin production decreases, leaving us with lines, wrinkles, and sagging as the years go by. In addition to reduced collagen and elastin production, cell turnover also slows as we age. That means it takes longer for dead skin cells to be replaced with new, healthy cells, which can leave skin looking dull and fine lines and wrinkles looking more noticeable. The HydraFacial treatment exfoliates the skin, removes dead skin cells, and encourages the production of new, healthy skin cells. This can significantly diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially when HydraFacials are performed regularly.

3 – Helps Manage Chronic Skin Conditions

Patients who have chronic skin conditions are interested in dermatologic procedures that can help them minimize the frequency and severity of flare-ups. While each skin condition is different and requires specific treatments based on the individual’s needs, a HydraFacial can be a benefit for their skin’s health. Especially people with acne and rosacea can benefit from receiving HydraFacials.

Acne treatments can be extremely drying. This leaves skin in need of moisture, so the body begins producing greater amounts of sebum oil to hydrate the skin. This increased sebum production can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. It’s a vicious cycle. HydraFacials offer a deep hydrating solution combined with exfoliation, deep cleaning, and other treatments, so skin receives the moisture it needs while minimizing the risk for clogged pores and acne breakouts. Regular HydraFacial treatments are a great way to clear up or prevent acne breakouts.

For those with rosacea, sensitive skin leaves them struggling to find treatments that improve their skin health without causing unnecessary irritation or flare-ups in their skin condition. HydraFacials are safe for patients with rosacea, and they’re also proven beneficial in managing symptoms of even the most severe papulopustular rosacea.

4 – Safe, Effective & Versatile Enough to Use with All Skin Types

Because the HydraFacial is fully customizable and gentle, it is beneficial, safe, and effective for use on patients with almost any skin type. Additionally, this treatment technology ensures a consistent result, so you can rely on HydraFacials to deliver the same effect time after time. The versatility of the procedure itself also allows the HydraFacial to be safely paired with other treatments, so ask your dermatologist if there are other procedures they would recommend to help you achieve your desired results.

5 – Results Visible Right Away – No Downtime Required

Following similar treatments, like traditional facials or chemical peels, clients will experience redness and irritation as well as other side effects like peeling skin before they see the desired results. HydraFacials deliver improved skin appearance right away and they have few, if any, side effects. Unlike other treatments, it is a full no-downtime procedure.

So, What Is a HydraFacial?

In just one treatment session that takes about 30 minutes to an hour, HydraFacials deep clean, exfoliate, and hydrate skin. During a HydraFacial, you can expect the following:

• Deep Cleaning – To get started, the state-of-the-art HydraFacial tool is used to gently clean skin and open pores, clearing away sebum oil and debris.
• Exfoliating – The HydraFacial tool is used to exfoliate, remove dead skin cells, and promote the production of healthy, new skin cells.
• Peeling – This is an optional step that can be added or removed based on the individual’s skin health needs. The gentle, mild peel solution removes outer layers of skin, leaving a smooth, new skin surface.
• Extracting – This is another step that won’t be necessary for everyone, but for individuals who have clogged pores, gentle vacuum suction is used to clear pores.
• Hydrating – The treatment provider administers hydrating serums that are specifically chosen for the individual’s skin health needs.

Trends for Curly Hair

Tea Garden Salon and Spa, Aveda Concept Hair Salon and Spa, Nelson, BC http://www.aveda.ca

Now is the time to talk about spring trends for 2023. Bigger, voluminous curls and waves are back in a big way, from big mermaid waves to shaggy bobs, and we couldn’t be happier about it. And while celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Zendaya opted for reds last year, enhancing your natural tone with shades of coppery auburn will continue to trend into spring.

HOW TO CARE FOR CURLY HAIR

Having curly/textured hair is a blessing and a curse! However, if you haven’t learned yet, the best way to take care of our curls is to not treat it the same as straight hair. 

TOP 4 TIPS:

1. WE CAN’T WASH OUR HAIR AS OFTEN

Since everyone’s scalp and hair is different, as a rule of thumb, we suggest going at least a couple days in between washes. Most scalps should be oily by the time you go to shampoo. An oily scalp and hair does not mean dirty. 

2. ONLY USE THE RIGHT PRODUCTS 

Generally speaking, you want to avoid any products that are too heavy and don’t enhance your natural hair. You also want to avoid any products that are going to dry it out and/or pull out your texture. 

3. RECEIVE REGULAR TRIMS AND SHAPING 

By removing split and dead ends, you’re going to keep the ends of your curls from thinning out. Thin curls look scraggly, frazzled and are more prone to tangles. 

4. USE A DIFFUSER

Diffuse your hair upside down and flip from side to side to get volume. You also shouldn’t be holding the diffuser in one spot longer than 4-6 seconds to avoid frizz. After your hair is dry, you can take a pick and pull up your hair to create even more volume. I like to put a bit of oil on my hands and scrunch it through the curls, separating any big clumps of curls, which will also create bigger hair. 

In winter our hair and scalp tend to test our patience and be extra dry. Curly hair is already less hydrated than straight hair so in these cold months we have to take extra time to hydrate and nourish our scalps! A couple tips to help at home with this in the winter is to use a hydrating masque once a week and sleep with a silk bonnet or pillowcase to lock in overnight treatments and products we’re using for that hydration. 

An in-salon service to help with dry scalp this winter is a hair treatment using Aveda’s new Scalp Solutions line. This service starts with a gentle scalp exfoliation that removes buildup and flakes, then moves into a refreshing shampoo and conditioning treatment that helps protect your scalp from environmental aggressors and future build up. You can come in for this service alone or add it onto any other hair service. 

We know how frustrating it is to not have the right products that work for you, so we invite you to come in and get your curls shaped and hydrated. We can talk over everything you’re doing at home and make sure your curls on the right track. 

Whether you are interested in trying a bold, new look, or just experimenting with some new layers or warmer tones this spring, there is a glamorous new version of you waiting to be seen in 2023. We can’t wait to help you look and feel your best.

E FREE OF DAILY HAIR WASHES

You may have seen a trend lately that everyone is talking about – not washing your hair every day. Especially shampooing. It’s a popular topic that has stuck. But why? What are the benefits? What are the reasons behind this trend? This topic comes up just in time for Earth Month as we find ways to help preserve this planet we live on and in this case, save water! With that being said, let’s break down this topic and chat about the top 10 reasons why you should shift your shampoo habits.

1. NATURAL MOISTURE

Shampooing everyday strips away your hair’s natural oils – sebum. These oils are meant to travel down your hair shaft and naturally moisturize your hair. For instance, think about when you wash your hands over and over to clean and ward off germs. The more we wash, the dryer our hands get. The same happens to our hair, which can lead to a handful of problems down the line. 

2. BREAKAGE

Dry hair leads to brittle hair which then leads to hair that breaks. If your goal is to have shiny, long, healthy hair, then this is something you definitely want to watch out for.  

3. GREASE BE GONE

When shampooing every day, it can actually make your hair greasier, faster. Your scalp is trying to catch up with all the frequent washing so it is completely starting over with producing oils. This causes an endless cycle. You wash your hair the day after you washed it because it got greasy, well then it gets greasy the next day after so you wash again, and so on. If you are in this cycle, have no fear, you can get out, but, it will take some time. Start spacing out your washes to every other day so your hair stops over producing oils and soon you will be able to increase the days between your washes.

Product Recommendation: Aveda has come out with an amazing product, Scalp Solutions Refreshing Protective Mist. On day one, you spray this product on your scalp, and it helps control sebum and scalp odor for 48 hours. Game changer! Also, using a dry shampoo will help you on day two to absorb your excess oil or after a workout. It does take a while for your scalp to regulate, but these products will help as you transition from your everyday wash to every other to then every three days (Our dry shampoo favorite: Aveda Shampowder Dry Shampoo). 

4. SALVAGE YOUR COLOR

Do you color your hair? Every time you are washing your hair, the cuticle of the hair slightly opens and releases small amounts of color. The more you wash, the more the color will come out and fade off. To keep that color in and help it stay vibrant and shiny, you need to wash less. 

5. TICK TOCK

Save time! By cutting out washing your hair in the shower you save precious time you could be using on so many other important things like beauty rest, time to journal or meditate. But of course, you should still take a body shower! Just tie your hair up in a high bun or our favorite, a cute shower cap works great.  

6. HEAT PROTECTION

We promise you, by cutting out washing your hair as often you will use less heat on your hair. You now don’t need to be putting a dryer to your wet hair every day. And, if you do use a curling iron or flat iron to touch up your look on day 2 or 3, make sure you are using a heat protectant. Product Recommendation: Aveda has many fabulous heat protectants for all hair types. One that we love for dry hair is the Aveda Heat Relief. This is a heat protectant and conditioning mist in one. Spray the light mist on your dry hair and then use your hot tool to freshen up your look. 

7. WE LOVE A DIRTY STYLE

Dirty hair can style better and look better! If you have silky straight hair that never wants to hold a curl or lays flat, those natural oils on day 2 will be your friend. Natural sebum gives your hair a shine and healthy glow as well as helps your hair be more willing to cooperate. 

8. SAVE BIG

Save your money! Good quality shampoo and conditioner aren’t free, so by not using them every day you will help stretch out the amount of time you have them for and save money. 

9. TEXTURED HAIR

Fellow textured hair friends…please don’t wash your hair every day. We understand that day one can be your best style because everything is looking fresh, big and bouncy, but your curls will thank you for not stripping them of all that moisture. Instead, hop in the shower and use your conditioner as a shampoo. Scrub your scalp with your conditioner and pretend it is a shampoo. If you have fine to medium density hair, try a Co-Wash. Product Recommendation: Aveda’s Be Curly Co-Wash is a cleansing conditioner that will not strip your oils but also not weight your hair down. 

10. CONCIOUSNESS FIRST

Not only will you save your time and money by washing your hair less but think about the water you could save too. Did you know that on average we use 25 gallons of water per shower. And if we shortened our showers by five minutes, we could save over 10 gallons of water a day! Shorter showers can also save up to 350 kilograms of carbon dioxide a year and help cut down on your energy bills. 

We hope you are convinced that everyday shampooing is a thing of the past and not only will your hair benefit immensely from making this shift but also the planet. It’s small steps we can take like this to change our habits and help more than just ourselves in the process by doing so.
