Vogue.it features Istituto Image and Hydrafacial, the most advanced facial cleansing treatment capable of gently cleansing and hydrating the skin. A unique and relaxing beauty ritual, exclusively available at Image in Milan.
Essential Step in Beauty Routine
While there is much discussion about regenerating, anti-aging, and lifting treatments, we often forget that these are all ineffective without first addressing a fundamental skincare step: facial cleansing. This treatment may seem outdated, but it remains essential before any procedure. Moreover, it has undergone significant technological advancement in recent years. Traditional manual extractions have been replaced by hi-tech 3.0 equipment.
Facial Cleansing with Hydrafacial MD
Hydrafacial MD - available at Istituto Image Milan - is a specialized device that performs gentle dermabrasion, suitable even for sensitive skin. Reportedly a best-kept secret of Kate Winslet and Beyoncé before red carpet events, this hydro-dermabrasion technology purifies the skin deeply while stimulating elastic fiber formation. The technology combines cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and antioxidant protection. The treatment utilizes a special handpiece (with different tips) through three steps: first, applying salicylic acid to remove dead cells and a purifying solution with dehydrated algae for detox effects; second, focusing on the T-zone where sebum accumulates; third, delivering hydrating and anti-aging substances (hyaluronic acid, vitamin A, horse chestnut extracts), a peptide-rich serum, and utilizing LED light to stimulate cellular regeneration.
The treatment is particularly effective for skin conditions including acne, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, and age-related concerns. Results are visible after the first session, with noticeably brighter, hydrated, and smoother skin. Treatment is recommended every 4-6 weeks for optimal results.
