Traditional Facials vs. HydraFacials: What You Need To Know

Traditional facials and HydraFacials cleanse, refresh, and rejuvenate your skin, so how do you choose between the two? Both provide similar benefits for your skin but have different ways of achieving those benefits. Here’s what you need to know about traditional facials versus HydraFacials to choose the best one for your skin.

What Is a Traditional Facial?

A traditional facial is not only a relaxing experience but also very beneficial for your skin. Traditional facials can help with a multitude of skin concerns, such as acne, large pores, blackheads, dryness, and redness. To help you achieve smooth, glowing skin, a regular facial can include exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antiaging treatments, all of which are very effective in creating happy, healthy skin. Keep in mind that these facial treatments can be altered depending on your skin’s needs and preferences.

What Is a HydraFacial?

Similar to a traditional facial, a HydraFacial treatment helps with many skin issues, such as acne, blackheads, fine lines, dryness, redness, congested skin, and large pores. However, unlike a traditional facial, which an esthetician can alter depending on the client, a HydraFacial works for almost every skin type.

The HydraFacial treatment includes three steps. The first step is to cleanse the skin and peel off any dead skin with gentle exfoliation. Then, your esthetician will remove debris from your pores with a painless suction method and apply moisturizers to the skin. And finally, they’ll gently penetrate the surface of the skin to infuse it with antioxidants and peptides.
