<p>We&#x27;ve all experienced a facial at one point or another. Our skin gets cleansed, some fancy creams are applied, we enjoy a facial massage, extraction or pricking is done if needed, and the treatment is sealed with topical medicines if needed, plus some SPF. These regular treatments we do for maintenance are a huge help for our skin upkeep, but sometimes, we have to admit, our skin often needs something a little bit more. Especially as we age, our skin ages too, and this calls for stronger, more advanced treatments to help combat visible signs of aging. </p><div><br/></div><p>Enter: breakthrough skincare machines that are ruling our feeds right now. A machine for lifting? There&#x27;s one for that. How about tightening? There&#x27;s another one for that. There&#x27;s a machine for getting rid of pesky dark spots and blemishes too. But the latest machine in town is the <strong>Syndeo Hydrafacial</strong>—and lucky me, I got dibs on trying it at one of my go-to beauty havens, <strong>Luminisce</strong>. It&#x27;s all you ever want in a facial, and more.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/0f403195-3460-463d-beb6-e8d0013f0215_photo 1.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>What is the Hydrafacial?</strong></div><p>Simply put, it&#x27;s an advanced non-invasive facial treatment that cleanses, extracts, and hydrates the skin in one procedure.Hydrafacial is known for cleansing, extracting and hydrating the skin using patented hydradermabrasion and vortex technology alongside unique serums. At Luminisce, a trained Hydrafacial expert operates the device and ensures a safe, soothing, and effective experience for clients throughout the 30- to 60-minute procedure. </p><div><br/></div><p>The sleek new system also has a digital focus. Through a smart interface, therapists can personalize treatments according to a client’s skin needs and preferences and access protocol guidance on screen. This is all done through touchless gesture control features, ensuring the highest standards of hygiene with less hand-to-surface contact.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/7a68736a-c5a7-4f7a-a9a6-b932f7182522_photo 2.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/beauty/body/a-guide-to-lip-fillers/36417" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Here&#x27;s Everything You Need to Know About Lip Fillers</a></div><p>In addition, Syndeo Hydrafacial’s cloud-based software allows therapists to keep track of a client’s treatment history and skin concerns. The aim is to provide clients with a deeply customized and effective treatments</p><div><br/></div><p>Customizable with skin types, Syndeo Hydrafacial covers three procedures that make it unique from other treatments</p><ul><li><strong>Cleanse:</strong> It deeply cleanses and exfoliates with a gentle peel to uncover a new layer of skin.</li><li><strong>Extract:</strong> It removes impurities from pores with painless gentle suction.</li><li><strong>Hydrate:</strong> It saturates the skin’s surface with intense moisturizers and nourishing, personalized ingredients.</li></ul><div style="font-size:18px"><br/></div><p style="font-size:18px">The device acts like a vacuum to open pores for a deep cleanse and easy extraction of impurities and dead skin cells. In particular, Syndeo Hydrafacial benefits individuals who wear makeup, removing the buildup of sebum and debris and unclogging pores. HydraFacial also allows the active ingredients in our boosters to penetrate deeper, for the most effective treatment possible.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/211212af-b755-444c-b909-6f4071475ed2_photo 4.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>My experience and verdict</strong></div><p>I visited my favorite Luminisce branch and proceeded to my treatment room for the day. As always, the staff are kind and warm, always welcoming whenever I visit. I was excited to finally get to try the new machine, as I&#x27;ve only been hearing great things about it! My skin has been in an &#x27;okay&#x27; phase—just a few dead pimples here and there, but my skin, I noticed, has been drier that usual. I needed to get that glow back. It was time to put the Hydrafacial to the test. </p><div><br/></div><p>The procedure is pretty straightforward and simple; the aesthetician walks you through the steps, tells you what she is currently doing, explaining what&#x27;s about to happen, and checking in for any discomfort. The Hydrafacial was painless for me, and to be honest, it kind of lulled me to sleep. I would have dozed off if the aesthetician didn&#x27;t talk to me. It was, safe to say, quite the relaxing experience. </p><div><br/></div><p>I particularly liked the first few steps, especially the one that had to do with lymphatic drainage. It gave my face and neck a sensation that doesn&#x27;t usually come with regular facials. I actually felt movement in my face and neck—which is supposed to be a good thing!</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/beauty/skincare/luminisce-pico-majesty-laser-experience/34848" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Editor Diaries: I Tried The Pico Majesty Laser. Here&#x27;s What Happened!</a></div><p>After a number of steps and changes in corresponding handpiece, it was done! The whole treatment lasted for about 45 minutes. Mine included some pricking because some pesky zits and blackheads had to go. </p><div><br/></div><p>I wouldn&#x27;t say you&#x27;d immediately see results right after, but I did feel refreshed after the whole procedure. The great part was 1-2 days after, when I saw the results of the major hydration that took place. My skin looked healthy, hydrated and glowing, kind of like the plump, healthy skin we used to take for granted when we were little kids, haha!</p><div><br/></div><p>I&#x27;d say this facial is one that gets all things done in one go. It&#x27;s great for those looking for a major glow up minus the many visits. Although I doubt you wouldn&#x27;t want to go back after seeing such great results! </p><div><br/></div><div><em>Book a consultation with a Luminisce dermatologist today by calling 0977-804-4601 or email patientsupport@luminisce.com.
