It’s hard to hide dry, aging skin. Many Atlanta patients invest in over-the-counter or department store lotions, only to find that these expensive products make no significant improvement in a dull complexion or fine lines. What the skin requires is a deep cleansing and intense hydration. Premier Image Cosmetic & Laser Surgery in Sandy Springs makes it easy to refresh and restore tired, lifeless skin using the innovative HydraFacial technique. This technique allows the skin to immediately look vibrant and rejuvenated after just one invigorating treatment that can be enhanced by LED light therapy.

How the Innovative Atlanta HydraFacial Works
It’s not easy to deeply cleanse and hydrate the skin at home. In order to refresh the complexion and encourage youthful, glowing skin, we need to deliver a combination of exfoliation, extraction, and hydration to the tissues. The platinum HydraFacial accomplishes this by using its proprietary Vortex-Fusion system to extract dirt and dead or damaged skin cells.
Every HydraFacial procedure involves a series of steps, starting with exfoliating and deep cleansing. Once the skin is clean and buffed, we design the procedure to address the patient’s individual skin concerns. Specialized boosters and anti-aging super serums help to hydrate and rejuvenate the skin, creating an immediate glow. Following treatment, the HydraFacial boosters will continue to improve skin health and will dramatically improve the appearance of the skin for a week or longer.
Benefits of the HydraFacial
The HydraFacial offers a variety of benefits to both men and women in the Atlanta area. In addition to softer skin and improved skin tone, patients who undergo this treatment may see their fine lines and wrinkles disappear and notice the elimination of oily or acne-prone areas. HydraFacial sessions can also erase sun spots and hyperpigmentation, improve photodamaged skin, and shrink enlarged pores. Many patients choose to book a Hydrafacial session with us in Sandy Springs when they want to feel pampered or in preparation for a special event.
Ideal Candidates for HydraFacial Treatments
The signature HydraFacial treatments at Premier Image are designed to be safe for all skin types and ethnicities. Both women and men who are looking for softer, healthier skin may make a good candidate for the HydraFacial. Patients should be in overall good health and have no active skin infections or lesions. The HydraFacial can be gentle enough even for those with sensitive skin. Since we can personalize the treatment for each person’s unique skin needs, the HydraFacial makes an excellent choice for almost everyone. It is non-invasive and makes an excellent occasional addition to a regular skincare regimen.

What to Expect From a HydraFacial Consultation
The experts at Premier Image in Atlanta offer private HydraFacial consultations so they can design a custom treatment plan for each patient and explain different skin rejuvenation options. This appointment allows prospective patients to receive a full skin evaluation. The HydraFacial will be explained in detail, and together with the surgeon or aesthetician, a personalized treatment plan will be created. Patients can ask any questions they may have and get all the information they need to move forward.
The HydraFacial Procedure
The HydraFacial procedure at our Sandy Springs office will take between 30 to 45 minutes to complete. The technique is refreshing and relaxing. Patients often describe it as feeling like a cool, smooth brush moving across the face. Since there is no pain or discomfort associated with the HydraFacial, there is no need for any anesthesia before the treatment. Each HydraFacial will consist of five steps, all performed during one in-office session. Let’s take a closer look at what can be expected during each step.
1. Exfoliation
The first step in the HydraFacial process is exfoliation, which uses the Activ-4 serum to buff away dead skin cells. During this step, the skin is deeply cleansed and refreshed, which prepares it for the boosters that will hydrate and infuse the skin with nutrients.
2. Peel
Chemical peels are versatile cosmetic treatments used to encourage cell turnover and “peel” away dead and damaged skin cells. Following the cleansing and exfoliation step, Glysal Serum, a proprietary, mild combination of glycolic and salicylic acids, is applied to the skin to further renew the skin and prepare it for the boosters.
3. Extraction
Once dead skin and dirt are loosened by the first two steps of the HydraFacial system, these contaminants are gently suctioned away with the help of Beta-HD serum. The extraction process is painless and helps to make the skin soft, clean, and clear.
4. Boost
After the extraction phase of the HydraFacial, the skin is ready for boosters. Our experts create a custom blend to address any specific skin concerns. These personalized boosters introduce powerful nutrients and antioxidants to the skin while deeply hydrating and strengthening the tissues.
5. Fusion
Finally, once the skin is cleansed, exfoliated, and hydrated, a powerful anti-aging product is applied to protect and improve the skin. Antiox Serum is a unique tool for anti-aging that contains antioxidants peptides and hyaluronic acid, putting the finishing touches on this gentle, yet effective treatment.
6. Skincare After a HydraFacial
Patients will leave their HydraFacial appointment in Sandy Springs feeling refreshed, but by following a special home skincare routine, they can maximize the benefits of the procedure. HydraFacial’s Daily Essentials is a daily skincare regimen that will help to protect and also nourish the skin between treatments. Patients can extend their results and improve skin conditions by using the HydraFacial system at home.
Some of the available products include:
- Dermabuilder: This treatment blends different peptides together to build up cell strength and encourage new collagen production. Regular use can lead to better skin elasticity and overall skin tone.
- Glysal: An in-depth treatment for banishing dead skin cells, Glysal uses a combination of exfoliating acids to promote clearer, smoother skin.
- Hands: Hands are prone to dark spots, fine lines, and other signs of aging. If you have an uneven skin tone, this treatment helps to create a more even skin tone and also rejuvenate the hands for a more youthful look.
- Lips: Great for thin or aging lips, this treatment improves the quality of delicate lip skin through gentle exfoliation while plumping and hydrating the lips.
- Neck: The neck is prone to the same issues as the face, and may also show signs of age prematurely. This treatment works in tandem with the HydraFacial procedure and can reduce fine lines and thinning skin in the neck and upper chest.
Recovering From the HydraFacial
The HydraFacial can leave the face feeling soft and refreshed in less than an hour. The gentle facial requires no downtime, allowing patients to return to their usual routines immediately. Women may wear makeup after treatment, and there are no activity restrictions following the procedure. Sun exposure, harsh cleansers, and Retin-A should be avoided for seven to ten days. Our practitioners will fully explain at-home care during the HydraFacial consultation.
With only one HydraFacial session, most people will notice a dramatic improvement in the texture and tone of their skin. The face will look radiant and more relaxed. The smooth, hydrating benefits from a HydraFacial can last seven days or more. Depending on the patient’s needs, a series of four to six HydraFacial treatments, scheduled one to two weeks apart, may be recommended for improving wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne breakouts, and to correct oily skin. After the initial series of HydraFacial sessions, a monthly maintenance treatment can keep the face looking supple and glowing.
HydraFacial Risks and Complications
The HydraFacial is safe and gentle for almost everyone. The chance for complications to occur after treatment is extremely small. To get the most out of a HydraFacial experience, however, it is important that patients remember to seek treatment from an experienced provider. The doctors and aestheticians at Premier Image understand skin health and are specially trained in the HydraFacial process, making our Sandy Springs clinic the best choice for patients in the Atlanta area.
The HydraFacial Keravive Treatment
HydraFacial Keravive is a three-step treatment designed to cleanse and rejuvenate the scalp which results in healthier hair. The treatment is made up of two parts. The first is an in-office component that is administered at the Premier Image Cosmetic and Laser Surgery location in Sandy Springs. The second is a 30-day take-home spray. The three steps of the Keravive treatment are as follows:
Cleanse and Exfoliate
The HydraFacial Vortex Technology removes dirt, oil, and other debris from the scalp and hair follicles, resulting in better scalp circulation.
Stimulate, Nourish, and Hydrate
Proper nourishment of the scalp is achieved using the HydraFacial Keravive Peptide Complex Solution. This compound contains growth factors and skin proteins that promote thicker hair and a healthy scalp.
Extend and Enhance
Using the HydraFacial Keravive Peptide Complex Spray daily builds on the in-office treatment. The take-home treatment provides the necessary stimulation and nourishment for extended results.
Candidates for HydraFacial Keravive
HydraFacial Keravive is a unique solution for people experiencing issues with their scalp. It is recommended for everyone, irrespective of their skin and hair types. Also, men and women can equally benefit from the reinvigorating results of HydraFacial Keravive. Whether someone has thin, brittle hair or an oily scalp, the treatment can address any skincare need.
An additional factor to consider when looking into Keravive is the treatment regimen itself. The take-home spray allows for in-office treatment to be kept at a minimum. Therefore, those with busy schedules in the greater Atlanta area will find HydraFacial Keravive as convenient as it is effective.
Benefits of the Keravive Treatment
Keravive treatment addresses the underlying causes of poor scalp health rather than providing cosmetic cover-ups. By cleansing and exfoliating the scalp, the hair follicles are free to produce healthy hair.
The growth factors used in the treatment support the scalp’s natural ability to produce keratin. Just as with collagen, the production of keratin is a process that declines with age. The biomimetic proteins and growth factors contained in HydraFacial Keravive boost keratin production while also promoting micro-circulation in the scalp.
What to Expect From a Keravive Treatment
The statistics serve to show the kind of results people can expect from HydraFacial Keravive. Specifically, after just one treatment, patients report an improvement in the itchiness of their scalp. They also note improvements in scalp dryness, flakiness as well as hair fullness.
After the course of the treatments, 75% of those treated reported that hair fullness improved. Meanwhile, 72% noted an improvement in the overall appearance of their hair. The result is that patients feel more confident and this resonates in their everyday lives.
