The majority of people will have heard of microdermabrasion as it has been around since 1985 with HydraFacial which was invented in 1997, but many consumers often think that these two work in the same way and deliver the same results.

I wanted to break down the main differences and similarities between these so you can exactly how they compare and make a more informed about which is right for you.

HydraFacial, How does it work?

is a platform system typically of 6 steps. There is an option to just do the core 4 step (known as the Express HydraFacial) but I’ll focus on the 6-step treatment to keep things simple.

Does the HydraFacial treatment hurt and is there downtime?

There is no pain with the treatment, just some mild tingling and when the acids are applied to the skin but this is extremely normal.

Downtime is minimal, and some redness following the treatment is normal and usually goes down within 20 minutes, for the week following the treatment some mild skin flaking and breakouts can occur known as ‘purging’ but this usually only happens after your first couple of .

It is not to have your very first just before a big event, for this reason, instead have a minimum of 2 treatments, 1 month apart prior to an event to see how your skin responds.

Key points to take away about microdermabrasion treatment

is a good treatment to help regulate regular exfoliation of the skin and even the skin tone. There is minimal to no downtime associated with the treatment which is another benefit, however, it is not necessarily a treatment, meaning it won’t help control skin such as active acne or rosacea.

There is also nothing that can be done to tailor the treatment or make it skin-specific other than adding topical masks etc. The main downside that I see is that hasn’t changed much since it’s first inception and technology has come a long way since it was first made.
