HydraFacial for Lewisboro, NY

The base of a skin plan

A HydraFacial is the treatment many people come back for every four to six weeks, and it is often where a longer skin plan starts. One device handles three jobs. A vacuum tip cleans out the pores while a mild glycolic and salicylic acid peel loosens dead cells. Blackheads are lifted out by suction rather than pressed out with metal tools. Then hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and peptides are worked into the freshly cleared skin through the device’s patented vortex-fusion delivery, with LED light along the way. The visit takes 30 to 60 minutes and leaves you nothing to recover from.

When another treatment should lead

A HydraFacial keeps skin clean, hydrated and bright, and its benefits build with each visit. Some concerns call for a more specific tool, and Bellava’s estheticians can fold those into the same plan:

• Sun spots, redness and uneven tone: the IPL photofacial, including Limelight by Cutera.
• Acne and redness: Aerolase, the laser Bellava uses for both, gentle enough for every skin type.
• Acne scars, large pores and rough texture: microneedling, Vivace RF microneedling or PRP microneedling, all of which prompt new collagen.
• Deeper lines and sun damage: fractional CO2 skin rejuvenation.

Who gives it

Bellava’s HydraFacials are performed by its licensed medical estheticians: Semira Crecco-Donnelly, who holds HydraFacial credentials and has more than 20 years in the field, and Natalina McEwan, with over 12 years in plastic surgery and medical aesthetics. Both also perform the laser and microneedling treatments listed above, so the person giving your regular facial knows the rest of the menu. You can meet the estheticians before you book.

Run first, facial second

Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, the county’s largest park, has its main entrance on Route 121 in Cross River and hosts the Leatherman’s Loop trail race every spring. If your weekend starts on those trails, put the run before the facial rather than after: heavy exercise is the one thing to avoid for the rest of the day. Bellava is about 13 minutes from Cross River without traffic, west along Route 35, and open on Saturdays from 10 am to 2 pm.

Lewisboro patients ask

Who can have one? Every skin type, and men as well as women.

Will my face look red? Any redness fades quickly. Some people feel a mild tenderness, like a light sunburn, for a few hours.

Why does it finish with sunscreen? Because the skin has just been exfoliated, a broad-spectrum sunscreen goes on last to protect it.

How often should I come? Clinicians usually suggest every four to six weeks, and Bellava’s membership includes a HydraFacial each month.
