Not only for facial regulars

If you have never booked a facial, a HydraFacial is an easy first one. It suits every skin type, it is as useful for men as for women, and it asks almost nothing of you afterwards beyond skipping a hard workout that day. There is no harsh peel to recover from, and the skin usually looks brighter the moment you sit up.

Your skin decides the serums

Each visit opens with a skin analysis and a conversation about what bothers you, and the serums are chosen to match. The concerns it is most often used for:

Congestion and breakouts: pores cleared by suction and impurities drawn out.
Dryness and dullness: hyaluronic acid serums to restore moisture.
Discoloration: a treatment aimed at reducing the look of hyperpigmentation and uneven tone.
Early signs of aging: antioxidants and peptides that protect the skin and soften the appearance of fine lines.

What makes it different

The device pairs a vacuum tip with a patented vortex-fusion delivery system, so it exfoliates and feeds the skin in the same pass. A mild peel of alpha and beta hydroxy acids loosens dead cells while suction cleans out the pores. Blackheads are lifted out by the vacuum instead of being pressed with metal tools. LED light is applied during the treatment, and it ends with a moisturizer and a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Allow 30 to 60 minutes; the sensation is gentle suction and pressure rather than pain.

Who gives it

Bellava’s HydraFacials are performed by licensed medical estheticians Semira Crecco-Donnelly, with more than 20 years in the field, and Natalina McEwan, with over 12 years in plastic surgery and medical aesthetics. Either can build a HydraFacial into a wider plan with Bellava’s other skin treatments, such as the IPL photofacial for sun spots and redness.

From Yorktown Heights

The trip takes about 18 minutes without traffic, roughly eight miles by Routes 202 and 35 and a short stretch of the Saw Mill River Parkway. Saturday hours, 10 am to 2 pm, make a weekend facial possible.

Yorktown Heights patients ask

How often should I come back? Every four to six weeks is the usual advice, because the benefits accumulate with regular treatments.

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

How is it different from microdermabrasion? Microdermabrasion exfoliates with fine crystals. A HydraFacial uses a gentle acid peel instead, and also cleans the pores deeply and infuses serums.
