HydraFacial for Face, Body & Scalp: Discover Rawnaq's Services

HydraFacial technology isn't limited to facial cleansing; the device can be used within customized protocols to care for different areas of the skin and scalp.

The list of HydraFacial services offered at Rawnaq Medical Complex includes:

• Face HydraFacial Signature.
• Face HydraFacial Plus.
• Scalp HydraFacial.
• Underarm HydraFacial.
• Back HydraFacial.
• Lip HydraFacial.

The steps of each service vary depending on the area and the approved protocol; using the same device therefore doesn't mean all sessions are identical or achieve the same goal.

The Direct Answer

The original treatment is based on Vortex-Fusion technology, which combines the steps of cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration, with the ability to customize the session based on the area, the skin's needs, and the approved products.

How Does HydraFacial Technology Work?

The core session usually combines several stages:

Cleansing & Exfoliating the Skin's Surface

The device's head helps remove some of the dead cells and buildup present on the skin's surface.

Customized Exfoliation

Exfoliating solutions of varying strengths may be used depending on the area and skin condition, to help improve texture and reduce surface congestion.

Extracting Secretions & Impurities

The device uses a suction system to help remove some of the oils and impurities present inside the pore openings without relying on strong manual extraction.

Hydrating the Area

Solutions or products are used to help hydrate the skin and improve its appearance after cleansing.

The official system allows customizing the treatment steps using different heads and targeted solutions or products, with optional add-ons available in some protocols.

First: HydraFacial for the Face

The face is the most common area for using HydraFacial. Depending on the skin's condition, the session may help with:

• Cleansing the skin's surface.
• Reducing the buildup of some oils and impurities.
• Improving skin texture.
• Hydrating the skin.
• Improving the appearance of dullness.
• Temporarily improving the appearance of some pores.
• Giving the skin a more radiant appearance.

However, the session doesn't permanently close the pores, doesn't treat all types of acne or pigmentation, and doesn't replace a medical evaluation when a skin problem is present.

The official HydraFacial website describes the treatment as combining cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration, with the ability to customize it for issues such as dryness, dullness, uneven texture, and congested pores.

What's the Difference Between Signature and Plus at Rawnaq?

Hydrafacial Signature

Signature is the core session in the official Hydrafacial system, and it focuses on:

• Cleansing.
• Exfoliation.
• Extraction.
• Hydration.

The official website describes Signature as the foundational session that combines the four core stages in a single service.

Hydrafacial Plus

Plus is an approved service name within Rawnaq's list, but it isn't one of the three officially published global Hydrafacial tiers. Rawnaq's operating protocol should therefore clearly specify:

• What are the additional steps in Plus?
• Does it include a Booster?
• Does it include LED lighting?
• Does the session length differ?
• What products are used?
• What's the actual difference from Signature?

The article or contact staff shouldn't mention specific add-ons before they're officially approved.

Second: Scalp HydraFacial

Over time, the following build up on the scalp:

• Oily secretions.
• Hair product residue.
• Dead skin cells.
• Dry shampoo residue.
• Styling products.
• Dust and impurities.

The scalp HydraFacial session offered at Rawnaq helps cleanse the scalp and care for its surface using suction technology and dedicated solutions under the approved protocol. The session may be suitable for those who notice:

• An oily scalp.
• Buildup from hair products.
• A feeling that the scalp isn't clean despite washing the hair.
• Congestion or secretions around the hair follicles.
• A need for deeper care and cleansing.

Hydrafacial's official website offers a separate scalp program called HydraScalp with Keravive, which is a different protocol that includes peptide-based products and an at-home plan. However, it isn't accurate to say that Rawnaq's session is Keravive or that it stimulates hair growth unless these products and steps are actually used at Rawnaq.

What Doesn't a Scalp Cleansing Session Do?

• It doesn't treat hereditary baldness.
• It doesn't stop all causes of hair loss.
• It doesn't treat alopecia areata.
• It doesn't treat scalp inflammation without a diagnosis.
• It doesn't guarantee increased hair density.
• It doesn't replace seeing a doctor when noticeable hair loss is present.

When there's sudden hair loss, bald patches, severe itching, flaking, or wounds, the cause should be evaluated before treating it as merely a cleansing issue.

Third: Underarm HydraFacial

The underarm area is repeatedly exposed to:

• Sweating.
• Deodorants.
• Friction.
• Shaving.
• Buildup of dead cells.
• Blocked hair follicles.
• Irritation after hair removal.

An underarm HydraFacial session may help with:

• Cleansing the skin's surface.
• Removing some of the buildup and dead cells.
• Improving the area's texture.
• Cleaning some surface blockages.
• Hydrating the skin.
• Improving the area's overall appearance.

Hydrafacial technology can be used on targeted areas of the body, not just the face, with the level of exfoliation, suction, and solutions customized per area.

Does Underarm HydraFacial Lighten the Area?

The skin may look clearer after removing some of the surface buildup and cells, but the session isn't a guarantee for treating pigmentation. Underarm darkening may be related to:

• Friction.
• Repeated irritation.
• Shaving.
• Sensitivity to products.
• Post-inflammatory pigmentation.
• Hormonal or metabolic factors.
• Certain skin conditions.

Phrases like the following shouldn't be used:

• Guaranteed lightening.
• Underarm whitening.
• Removing darkness from the first session.
• Permanently evening out the skin tone.

Fourth: Back HydraFacial

The back area can be prone to a buildup of oils and dead cells, especially for those with oily skin or who use hair and body products that may reach the back. A back HydraFacial session may help with:

• Cleansing a wide area of skin.
• Removing some oils and impurities.
• Improving skin texture.
• Reducing the appearance of some surface blockages.
• Hydrating the skin.
• Improving the overall appearance of the back.

Hydrafacial's official website notes that the technology can be used within customized treatments for body areas, including the back, arms, thighs, and other areas, depending on the service offered by the treatment provider.

Does Back HydraFacial Treat Back Acne?

Cleansing, exfoliation, and extraction may help improve some surface blockages, but it doesn't treat all types of acne. The case needs evaluation when there are:

• Large or painful acne.
• Inflamed acne.
• Scarring.
• Noticeable itching.
• Rapid spread.
• Many dark marks.
• No improvement with regular care.

Back acne may be related to folliculitis, acne vulgaris, sweat, friction, or the products used, and each case requires a different approach.

Fifth: Lip HydraFacial

The lips are exposed to dryness and peeling as a result of:

• Weather.
• Insufficient hydration.
• Repeated lip licking.
• Some cosmetic products.
• Sun exposure.
• Smoking.
• Sensitivity to certain products.

The lip HydraFacial session at Rawnaq aims to care for the lip surface through gentle exfoliation, hydration, and improving texture, following the approved products and protocol.

Hydrafacial officially offers customized lip treatments that help with gentle exfoliation, hydration, and improving softness, and may give a slightly and temporarily fuller appearance due to hydration, not a permanent increase in volume.

Is Lip HydraFacial a Substitute for Filler?

No.

The lips may look softer and more hydrated after the session, but this doesn't equal the result of filler injections.

How Do You Choose the Right HydraFacial Service?

The final choice doesn't depend on the service's name alone, but also on:

• The skin's condition.
• Presence of inflammation.
• Medications.
• Previous procedures.
• Degree of sensitivity.
• The realistic goal of the session.
• The protocol available at the branch.

How Do You Prepare for the Session?

Before any HydraFacial session:

• Tell the team about your medications.
• Mention any allergy or skin condition.
• Tell them about recent peeling or laser treatments.
• Mention retinol or acid use.
• Avoid using strong mixtures or exfoliants before the appointment.
• Don't have the session on an area with a wound or inflammation.
• Clearly specify the required area.
• Ask about the steps and products included.
• Tell the team if this is your first session.

For a scalp session, it's best to arrive following the branch's instructions regarding washing the hair and using oils or styling products.

Aftercare

Instructions vary by area, but generally include:

• Avoiding hard rubbing.
• Using gentle products.
• Hydrating the area.
• Temporarily avoiding exfoliants and acids.
• Keeping up with sunscreen on exposed areas.
• Avoiding intense heat if sensitivity appears.
• Not using new or strong products right away.
• Not squeezing acne or blockages.
• Contacting the branch if an unusual reaction appears.

When Should the Session Be Postponed?

It may need to be postponed in the presence of:

• Active inflammation.
• An open wound.
• A skin infection.
• Sunburn.
• Severe allergy.
• Inflamed eczema or rosacea.
• Active herpes around the lips.
• Severe or painful acne.
• Inflammation or wounds on the scalp.
• A recent laser or peeling procedure.
• A medication that affects skin sensitivity.
• Pregnancy or possible pregnancy that hasn't been disclosed.

Common Mistakes When Booking HydraFacial

• Assuming HydraFacial is a face-only service.
• Booking Plus without knowing what it includes.
• Assuming the scalp session treats hair loss.
• Expecting underarm lightening from a single session.
• Considering the back session a complete acne treatment.
• Considering the lip session a substitute for filler.
• Not specifying the area when booking.
• Hiding medications or previous procedures.
• Having the session on inflamed skin.
• Using strong exfoliants right afterward.
• Expecting a permanent result from a single care session.
