Skinwave Facial in Camp Hill, PA
Services
The Skinwave facial at Restorativ Health & Beauty is one of the most advanced hydrating treatments available, and it goes considerably further than a traditional facial. Using an aqua-delivery system from Cartessa Aesthetics, it cleanses, exfoliates, gently extracts impurities, and infuses your skin with targeted solutions in a single session. Then it adds something no other device in its class offers, a dedicated hydrogen therapy step.
The result is skin that looks visibly cleaner, brighter, and better hydrated the same day, with no downtime. It suits all skin types and can be tailored to whatever your complexion needs.
What Makes Skinwave Different
Most advanced hydrating facials follow a familiar pattern: exfoliate, extract, hydrate. Skinwave does all of that well, then goes further in a few meaningful ways.
The standout feature is hydrogen therapy, which is unique to this platform. The device infuses your skin with hydrogen-concentrated water, designed so the hydrogen bonds with the active oxygen in your skin that contributes to dryness and visible aging. Those bonded molecules are then drawn away through the handpiece tips. The intent is antioxidant support alongside the hydration, addressing oxidative stress rather than just surface dullness.
Beyond that, the system uses electroporation to help the solutions absorb properly rather than sitting on the surface, red and blue LED light for targeted support, and a contouring roller that encourages lymphatic circulation while soothing the skin. Each element does a different job, which is what makes the treatment feel more complete than a standard facial.
The Three Solutions
At the heart of the treatment are three dedicated solutions, delivered through the aqua handpiece while gentle suction cleanses your pores:
• AHA, alpha hydroxy acid. A mild exfoliant that lifts away dead surface cells and helps brighten a dull-looking complexion.
• BHA, beta hydroxy acid. Works into the pores to dissolve oil and impurities, which makes it useful for congestion, blackheads, and breakout-prone skin.
• HA, hyaluronic acid. Restores hydration and plumps the skin, softening the look of fine lines for a smoother, dewier finish.
Because these serve different purposes, your aesthetician can adjust the emphasis based on whether your skin needs decongesting, brightening, hydration, or a balance of all three.

What Skinwave Can Address
The treatment is a strong option for dehydrated skin, dullness and lack of radiance, congestion and clogged pores, blackheads, uneven texture, the look of enlarged pores, and early signs of aging such as fine lines. It also works well as a pre-event treatment, since results are immediate and there is no visible recovery to plan around.
It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, because the intensity and solution emphasis can be adjusted.
Skinwave or a HydraFacial?
This comes up often, and it is a fair question, since both are hydradermabrasion treatments that cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and hydrate in one session. If you have had a HydraFacial before and liked it, you will recognize the experience here.
The difference is what Skinwave adds. The hydrogen therapy step is exclusive to this platform, bringing an antioxidant element that targets oxidative stress rather than only addressing the surface. Add electroporation for deeper absorption, LED light, and lymphatic work, and you have a treatment covering more ground in the same appointment. Skinwave was also featured in a Forbes roundup of devices aestheticians rate most highly.
What to Expect
A Skinwave session is comfortable throughout, and most people find it genuinely relaxing:
Skin analysis
We assess your skin, discuss your concerns and sensitivities, and plan which solutions to emphasize.
Cleanse and exfoliate
The aqua handpiece cleanses and exfoliates while gentle suction begins lifting away impurities.
Solution infusion
The AHA, BHA, and HA solutions are delivered into the skin as extraction continues, clearing pores while nutrients absorb.
Hydrogen therapy
Hydrogen-concentrated water is infused, designed to address the active oxygen linked to dryness and aging.
LED and lymphatic finish
Red or blue LED light is applied where appropriate, followed by the contouring roller to support circulation and calm the skin.
Protect
We finish with hydrating and protective products and talk through simple home care.
Sessions typically take between thirty and sixty minutes depending on the option you choose. There is no downtime, and while mild redness or tenderness can occur, it usually settles within a few hours.

Thirty or Sixty Minutes?
We offer Skinwave in two lengths, and the right one depends on what you want from the visit. The thirty-minute option covers the core treatment efficiently, which makes it ideal for maintenance, a lunch-break refresh, or a boost before an event.
The sixty-minute option gives your aesthetician time to be more thorough, spend longer on extraction where congestion needs attention, and include more of the additional steps such as extended LED and lymphatic work. If it is your first Skinwave, or your skin needs real attention rather than a top-up, the longer session is usually the better investment.

Most people notice cleaner, brighter, better hydrated skin immediately after the session. Results from a single treatment typically last a few weeks, which is why many clients book monthly.
