Does HydraFacial remove whiteheads?

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. .

Hi and thanks for your question!Hydrafacial should be a good treatment to remove whiteheads, but as with all treatments, it depends on your provider.There are different Hydrafacial tips, some are more aggressive at exfoliation, that may be better for you (depending on the thickness of your skin)There are also varying Hydrafacial peel strengths; if possible I would recommend you see a provider who can offer Glysal Peel MD; this is only available with a physician-led group.You may also consider a chemical peel (there are varying strengths) to treat whiteheads. While these will produce more redness and peeling, the results will be more dramatic. Remember that most patients need a series of chemical peels (usually 3) to achieve optimal results.Hope this helps!
