Difference between hydra facial and peeling?

If your main skin care concerns are darker skin tone and acne scaring, I would recommend prepping your skin first with a hydrafacial that uses add on's like Britenol, which helps with pigmentation and overall brightening of your skin tone. Then, after your skin is prepped and ready do a series of three VI peels. It's important to have your Dr. or Esthetician look at your skin and examine the best course of action for you. 

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis. We see atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to discuss the best treatment options for your type of skin. .

Depending on how deep your scars are, you may need a medium-depth chemical peel. The hydrafacial can help with some pigmentation concerns, but most likely will not help with the scars. Hydrafacial is a great treatment to combine with other treatments such as skin pen, chemical peels, and lasers for optimal results.
