For the past few years HydraFacials have gotten a lot of hype, but what is the difference between this and a regular facial that has been around for decades? A HydraFacial is a type of advanced facial treatment that uses a machine to cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and hydrate the skin. It is often considered a "medical grade" facial because it uses a wand with multiple tips to perform several different functions, such as suctioning out impurities and infusing the skin with antioxidants and hyaluronic acid. It also includes Vortex-Fusion of serums, which is a specific technology that the machine uses for delivery of serums to the skin. Once the HydraFacial is finished your esthetician or facialist may show you the excess oil, sebum, and dirt that was trapped in your pores, and it is so satisfying.
A standard facial, on the other hand, is a more traditional type of facial treatment that is usually performed manually by an esthetician. It typically includes steps such as cleansing, exfoliation, and moisturizing, but may also include extractions and massage. Standard facials are usually tailored to a specific skin type and concern, and may include the use of different products, such as masks, toners, and serums.
To summarize, the main difference between a HydraFacial and a standard facial is that the former uses advanced technology and specific methods, while the latter is a more manual approach to skin care. Both treatments can be beneficial for improving the appearance of the skin, but the HydraFacial is often considered more effective because of its use of advanced technology and specific methods.
