The Hydrodermabrasion facial is a aqua skin resurfacing treatment integrates vacuum extraction, exfoliation, hydration and iontophoresis (serum infusion). The procedure uses crushed diamond tips as method of exfoliating the first the outermost skin layer, with a surface composed mostly of dead skin cells.
Hydrodermabrasion is the latest innovation currently trending in the skincare industry. This amazing treatment offers the greatest technology to remove dry, dead skin cells from the outer layer of the skin while simultaneously inputting hydro-serum onto the skin infusing it with ingredients based on the skin's needs.
Hydrodermabrasion is highly effective in improving the skin's overall texture, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and giving deeper hydration to the skin. Congested and enlarged pores will become cleaner and smaller over time, if you stick to a regular facial regime.
Is There a Difference? There's no difference between Hydrodermabrasion or Hydrafacial / Hydrofacial. Basically, Hydrafacial and Hydrofacial are both brand names of the device that's used to perform Hydrodermabrasion treatment.
A microdermabrasion treatment generally uses either crystals or a diamond tip to grind away the surface of the skin. Similarly, hydrodermabrasion generally uses a diamond tip to grind away the skin but adds a liquid that flushes away debris from the treatment.
While some experts say that a treatment must be scheduled every four weeks, there are others who say that for results the treatment must be repeated every two weeks.
A HydraFacial includes 4 facial treatments rolled into one session: cleansing and exfoliating, a gentle chemical peel, vacuum suction extraction, and a hydrating serum. These steps are delivered using a patented HydraFacial device (which looks like a large rolling cart with hoses and a wand with detachable heads).
After a facial, you'll feel exfoliated and refreshed, with softer skin and improved circulation. With microdermabrasion, those results will last longer, due to the fact that you receive a deeper exfoliation.
For deeper wrinkles, a medium or deep chemical peel is the best option. For rough skin caused by sun damage, microdermabrasion or a light chemical peel will work. If you have severe damage or are at risk of melasma, medium or deep chemical peels are better suited.
OxyGeneo® is an innovative technology for skin exfoliation (removal of dead skin cells from the skin surface), improving skin oxygen levels and infusion of valuable products to enrich the skin.
Aqua Peels can be used on all skin types. Furthermore, hydrodermabrasion works effectively for those suffers from acne, blemishes, pore congestion to clean pores, comedones, and blackheads.
Nano-needling is a non-invasive transdermal serum delivery system. A stylus is used to tap nano-cartridges to the skin—thousands of microscopic pyramid-like tips that penetrate the skin's epidermis. These cartridges are thinner than human hair, and, when they touch the skin, form as much as 200,000 nano-channels.
Dermaplaning is a procedure that exfoliates your skin and gets rid of dirt and vellus hair, better known as “peach fuzz.” It's different from dermabrasion, where an aesthetician or doctor uses a high-speed, rotating brush to exfoliate the skin. With dermaplaning, they use a scalpel or a tool called a dermatome.
Regular peels will cause tremendous improvements in your skin over time, especially if you do them regularly (we recommend a monthly peel and in 6 months you will see dramatically improved skin) Regular Hydrafacial treatments are good for your skin, however, You can do much better for much less.
Microneedling is used to treat a variety of skin conditions that cause depressions in the skin such as acne scarring, surgical scars, other scars, burns, enlarged pores, wrinkles (rhytides), and stretch marks (striae). (The procedure is less effective on deep, narrow “ice-pick” acne scars than on broader ones.)
Glycolic Peel
It's also good for bringing a healthy glow back to aging skin. Glycolic acid is used to dissolve and allow dead skin cells to slough off. The result is a smoother skin surface with clear pores. A.k.a., beautiful skin.

DiamondGlow uses a physical diamond-tipped exfoliator, while Hydrafacial uses glycolic and salicylic acid for chemical exfoliation. Goals: DiamondGlow is more of a corrective treatment that results in deep exfoliation, extraction and cleansing. Serums are then applied to fresh, new skin for greater effectiveness.
Best for: Microneedling is a good option over HydraFacial for those who have a deep, permanent acne scars and other facial scarring, and is recommended for all skin tones. It is not a good choice for those who are at a higher risk of infection or have a low tolerance for pain or needles.

The vampire facial, also known as microneedling with PRP, is a cosmetic procedure that involves drawing blood from your arm, separating platelets and applying them back onto your face. This procedure has many benefits, including younger looking skin, and is only gaining in popularity.
