Hydrafacial with a Peel at Dentistaa, Sector 50

Dentistaa · Gurugram

A Hydrafacial cleans, exfoliates and hydrates the skin in one sitting. Instead of scrubbing, a handpiece uses gentle suction to lift dead skin and clear blocked pores while serums are worked into the skin. At Dentistaa it is usually paired with a peel chosen for what your skin needs: more glow, more even tone, or softer fine lines.

Who it suits

People usually ask about a Hydrafacial for one of three reasons:

• Glow: skin that looks dull, tired or congested, often from city pollution and late nights.
• Pigmentation: uneven tone, sun tan and dark patches that make the face look patchy.
• Anti-ageing: early fine lines and wrinkles, and skin that has lost some of its bounce.

It is gentle enough for most skin types. It is not done over active acne that is inflamed, broken skin, or a fresh sunburn, and some peels are avoided during pregnancy. These are checked at the consultation.

What happens at your visit

The skin consultation

Dr Toshika looks at your skin, asks what bothers you about it and what you use on it now, and checks for anything that would rule a peel out. You are told which peel she would add, how many sessions it usually takes, and the cost, before anything is booked.

The session

1. The face is cleansed and the skin is gently exfoliated.
2. The peel is applied and left for a short time, then neutralised.
3. Blocked pores are cleared with painless suction.
4. Hydrating and brightening serums are worked into the skin.
5. Sun protection goes on at the end.

Most people describe it as cool and relaxing. A peel can tingle for a minute or two. The session takes under an hour.

How many sessions

One session gives visible freshness, which is why people book one before a wedding or an event. Pigmentation and fine lines respond better to a short course spaced a few weeks apart, and the dentist will tell you how many she expects for your skin rather than selling a fixed package.

Aftercare

• Use sunscreen every day, and more carefully for the first week after a peel.
• Skip scrubs, retinol and other strong actives for a few days.
• Avoid saunas, steam and swimming on the day of treatment.
• Mild redness can happen after a peel and usually settles within a few hours.

Why at Dentistaa

The skin treatments at Dentistaa are run by Dr Toshika Dudeja, a dentist of ten years who trained in facial aesthetics at IIFA (IOA, USA). The clinic at Baani Square, Sector 50 is the same one patients know for its hygiene and for explaining things before starting, and that applies to skin care as much as to teeth.
