Is this one-hour facial treatment worth it?

A look into how Préime DermaFacial works

- SKINVESTING DR. KAYCEE REYES

As a medical aesthetics specialist, I've learned to spot the difference between marketing promises and actual results. So when someone told me about a facial treatment that uses five different technologies in sequence, my first thought was: here we go again.

But the Préime DermaFacial is turning out to be more interesting than I expected. Not because it's magic (it isn't), but because it's basically the opposite of what most aesthetic clinics are selling these days.

Starting with clean skin

The treatment begins with something called AquaB, which is hydrodermabrasion with a twist. Instead of just blasting your face with water and suction, it delivers specific serums at each stage. The first solution has lactic acid and hyaluronic acid, so you're getting exfoliation and hydration at the same time. The second step targets congested areas with salicylic acid. Then nourishment, then a rinse to clean the system.

What I appreciate: They adjust the tip size and vacuum strength based on your skin. Sensitive skin gets gentler treatment. Congested skin gets more focused work on problem areas. This seems obvious, but you'd be surprised how many treatments take the same approach for everyone.
