Okay, so you’ve decided it’s time to really up your skincare game. You’re going to pamper your skin so that it glows. You arrive at the medspa for your HydraFacial appointment. Before getting started, your skincare expert asks which HydraFacial Booster Serum you’d like to receive during your visit. Oh, no! There are so many choices–which HydraFacial Booster Serum is best for you?
Thankfully, we’ve done the research and the testing for you. Here are the top three HydraFacial Booster serums that you should consider trying in 2022, based on your skincare concerns.
If you’re reading this, you already know that HydraFacial is the world’s top hydradermabrasion treatment designed to give you instant, painfree, glowing skin in a short 30-45 minute treatment. HydraFacial uses unique, patented Vortex-Fusion technology to exfoliate, extract, and hydrate the skin. There are numerous options for customization and add-ons during your HydraFacial treatment, depending on your skincare goals. Add-ons include LED Light Therapy, Lymphatic Drainage, or Booster Serums which are designed to yield maximal results.
Booster Serums are delivered during the Step 3 of HydraFacial–the “Fuse & Protect” portion of your treatment. (Your skin has already been gently exfoliated and your pores decongested and unclogged during Steps 1 and 2) In Step 3, you’re ready to saturate the skin surface with a Booster Serum of your choice nourishing ingredients to maximize your glow. Think of a HydraFacial Booster Serum as a cocktail of ingredients that may vary depending on your skincare needs.
Booster Serums typically include ingredients such as Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, Tranexamic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Retinol, Vitamin B, Peptides, Polysaccharides, Beta-Glucans, Arginine, Alpha-Arbutin, Bearberry Extract, Rosa Canina Extract, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract, Salvia Hispanica Seed Oil.
There are currently more than 17+ Boosters Serums certified for use by HydraFacial in 2022. With so many choices, it’s difficult to know which Booster Serum is best for you. There are 4 “classic” Booster Serums developed by HydraFacial, which are readily available through most HydraFacial Providers. HydraFacial has also partnered with select skincare brands (e.g. Alastin, ZO Skin Health, Murad, NassifMD, Circadia, Perk, HydroPeptide, Sente) to develop exclusive Booster Serums designed for use with the HydraFacial platform. (FYI: Some HydraFacial providers only carry a few of these Booster Serums, not all providers offer a comprehensive selection of HydraFacial Booster Serums.)
The most common skin complaint we hear from clients is in relation to fine lines, wrinkles, and dull aging skin. Our favorite HydraFacial Booster Serum in the Anti-Aging category is the Tri-Hex Pro Booster Serum by Alastin. We love this booster serum for its multi-pronged approach to reducing the appearance of thinning skin, fine lines and wrinkles. Tri-Hex Pro Booster Serum helps clear out damaged collagen and elastin, and promotes the skin’s natural ability new collagen and elastin. Expect a more youthful complexion, with an overall improvement in texture and tone.
Key ingredients include Phosphatidylserine (helps support healthy collagen activity), Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 (a cofactor in protein synthesis in the skin), Hexapeptide and Ornithine (support plumping of healthy adipose tissue in the skin), and Tremella Fuciformis Mushroom (for water retention in the skin). Alastin is a trusted manufacturer of medical grade skincare. Check with your HydraFacial provider before your visit (not all providers have TriHex-Pro Booster Serum readily available). The add-on cost for this TriHex Pro is typically around +$80 at most medspas.
There are a number of HydraFacial Booster Serums that target uneven skin tone, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation. Our favorite Booster Serum in the skin brightening category is the tried and tested Britenol Booster Serum by HydraFacial. We love this booster serum for its no nonsense approach to brightening and balancing uneven skin tone. This brightener is also useful for minimizing the appearance of dark spots and sun spots.
Key ingredients include Alpha-Arbutin (a natural brightening agent), Vitamin C (an antioxidant,) and Bearberry Extract (a natural brightening agent.) Most HydraFacial providers have this Booster Serum readily available. The add-on cost is typically around +$50 at most medspas. Britenol is also available as a take home treatment for particularly troublesome spots, for use in between HydraFacial treatments.
Sensitive or inflamed skin is a common complaint for many people receiving HydraFacial. Our favorite HydraFacial Booster Serum for calming the skin is the Rozatrol Booster by ZO Skin Health. This Booster Serum helps relieve visible signs of red, sensitized skin, while restoring hydration and skin barrier function.
Key ingredients include Lactose Milk Protein (helps minimize inflammation and reduce the appearance of skin redness) and Rosa Canina Extract (helps minimize pores and control sebum balance). ZO Skin Health is a trusted manufacturer of medical grade skincare products (shop all our ZO Skin Health products here). Check with your HydraFacial provider before your visit (not all providers have the Rozatrol Booster Serum readily available). The add-on cost for Rozatrol Booster Serum is typically around +$75 at most medspas.
HydraFacial Booster Serums are an excellent way to achieve maximum skin glow by adding nourishing ingredients to the surface of the skin immediately after decongesting the skin. You should select a HydraFacial Booster Serum based on your individual skin concerns and goals.
Check with your medspa provider before your HydraFacial appointment to ensure they carry your selected Booster Serum. (Many providers may only carry a small handful of the 16+ available Booster Serums.)
