For most people, HydraFacial MD is safe and can even help improve the appearance of existing hyperpigmentation. However, it’s important to be aware of these factors:
- Skin Sensitivity: If you have very sensitive skin or certain types of hyperpigmentation, the gentle exfoliation in HydraFacial MD could temporarily increase the visibility of dark spots.
- Sun Exposure: Freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to the sun. Inadequate sun protection after your treatment increases the risk of hyperpigmentation.
- Individual Predisposition: Some individuals are more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) after any skin irritation or treatment.
Precautions & Solutions:
- Discuss with Your Specialist: Inform your AIVI Aesthetics specialist about any history of hyperpigmentation so they can personalize your treatment and aftercare.
- Gentle Customization: Sensitive skin may benefit from gentler boosters and potentially skipping the light peel step.
- Sun Protection is KEY: Diligent sunscreen use with SPF 30 or higher is crucial after any exfoliating treatment, including HydraFacial MD.
