How HydraFacial Works
HydraFacial is a four-step process that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration. Using a specialized handheld device, the treatment gently vacuums out dirt, oil, and impurities from your pores while at the same time infusing your skin with nourishing serums.
The steps include exfoliating away dead skin cells, applying a gentle peel solution with glycolic and salicylic acids, extracting clogged pores through painless vortex suction, and finishing with antioxidant- and peptide-rich serums. The entire process takes about 30-45 minutes and is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin.
How Is HydraFacial Different From a Facial?
While both HydraFacial and traditional facials can support healthy skin, there are differences that explain why some people prefer HydraFacial, such as:
- Technology vs. Tradition: Traditional facials rely on manual techniques, while HydraFacial uses a device with vortex suction and serum infusion for deeper cleansing and hydration. Both can be beneficial, but HydraFacial offers a more consistent outcome.
- Comfort Level: Facials often involve extractions that can be uncomfortable and leave redness. HydraFacial clears pores without squeezing, making it a preferred choice if you want to avoid irritation.
- Customization: Facials are usually based on products applied during the session. HydraFacial goes further by infusing targeted serums (for tone, fine lines, or dark spots) into freshly cleansed skin for better absorption.
- Recovery Time: Some facials may leave you with sensitive skin for a day, while HydraFacial has no downtime. You can go back to work or social plans right away.
When to Choose Which
HydraFacial is ideal if you want results that combine exfoliation, hydration, and pore-clearing in one session. Traditional facials can still feel relaxing and are great for routine skin maintenance. Many people actually enjoy alternating between the two.
