What is the difference between HydraPeel and HydraFacial? Which is better for congested, oily, sensitive skin?

Question

Hello! I am looking to purchase a series of treatments. I noticed two different treatments available at my derm office. The hydrapeel and hydrafacial. I have very congested, oily, sensitive, skin with mild rosacea. I have a lot of hyper-pigmentation and mild scarring. I would like to know the difference between the two treatments and which would be the most effective for my skin issues. Thank you!

The treatments are very similar. Hydrapeel combines a hydradermabrasion, chemical peel, and painless extraction in one treatment. The HydraFacial has a multi-step process as well that cleanses, exfoliates, and extracts to get rid of impurities and dead skin cells while at the same time quenches skin with vital nutrients like antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid. We have the HydraFacial in our clinic and our staff and patients love it. I know it would cater nicely to your sensitive skin. It never hurts to get a free skin consultation to develop a plan for your skin specifically!

A Hydrafacial and Hydrapeel are essentially the same thing, just produced by different companies. The Hydrafacial is what I have chosen to have in my practice and is a mainstream name. Both treatments will result in a healthier, more hydrated state for the skin. Everyone walks out with a healthy glow to the skin and it is one of our most popular treatments.
