HydraFacial or Microdermabrasion for Better Skin Tone?

Hydrafacial and hydrating facials in general are a type of microdermabrasion.  Both treatments are designed to microdermabrade the skin, helping to do a deeper exfoliation of the skin.  Long term changes are typically not seen with either technique.  The benefit of the hydrafacial is that it combines extractions and a light peel with it so the skin can feel cleaner and unclogged.  Both treatments allow the skin to be penetrated with skin care products such as growth factors since a small portion of the top layer has been exfoliated.  

Microdermabrasion is older technology and while it does serve its purpose, HydraFacial is far more advanced.
HydraFacial offers several treatment options for many different skin types and concerns. The treatment process allows for:

Exfoliation – the removal of the outer dead layers of skin that makes it look dull
Extractions – the cleaning of pores through a chemical peel process removing “blackheads”
Infusion of different boosters -  serums that contain peptides and antioxidants that will be customized depending on the condition of your skin, in combination with red/blue light therapy.
I would suggest consult with your provider on the correct HydraFacial treatment for you.

Microdermabrasion has been around for many years, its a deep exfoliation for the skin improving texture and tone. Hydrafacial is a more advanced version sometimes referred to as 'Wet Microdermabrasion' treatment. This treatment has more elements and Increases hydration.

Microdermabrasion and Hydrafacial treatments are both excellent tools to help achieve and maintain skin health. 

Microdermabrasion focuses on exfoliation of the skin to produce an improved appearance of overall skin tone, quality and to promote collagen production.

The Hydrafacial treatment is a more dynamic treatment that not only exfoliates the skin but also promotes lymphatic drainage, a light peel, moisturizing extraction of skin impurities through infusion of peptides, antioxidants and hyaluronic acid.  The treatment does not have any down time and can be customized for the needs of the patient. 

Personally, I would recommend giving HydraFacial a try. It's a little less agressive/invasive, but still has great results. HydraFacial is a "hydradermabrasion" procedure that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection simultaneously, resulting in clearer, more beautiful skin with no discomfort or downtime. The treatment is soothing, moisturizing, non-invasive and non-irritating. I would recommend making HydraFacial a monthly appointment to see great results in skin tone and smooth skin. 

I prefer the Hydrafacial vs Microdermabrasion. The Hydrafacial gently exfoliates the top layer of skin and we can infuse serums at the same time. It can be completely customized based on what your skin needs are. We are also able to infuse light peels and it is great for extractions. Patients always love how good their skin looks and feels following the Hydrafacial.
