Check the exact facial before booking
Microdermabrasion and HydraFacial are names for different approaches to exfoliation. Similar wording in a facial menu does not mean that the same device, products or steps are used.
What does microdermabrasion mean?
Microdermabrasion uses mechanical exfoliation to work on the outer skin surface. It differs from surgical dermabrasion, which is a deeper resurfacing procedure. The terms should not be used interchangeably.
How does HydraFacial differ?
HydraFacial is a branded hydradermabrasion system using fluid delivery and suction. Its exact steps and compatible solutions depend on the booked service and the practitioner's assessment. A microdermabrasion label does not establish that a treatment uses HydraFacial's Vortex-Fusion system.
What should I ask the provider?
- Which device and treatment will actually be used?
- Which steps and products are included, and which are optional?
- Is the proposed treatment suitable for my skin and recent procedures?
- What are its realistic limits, possible unwanted effects and aftercare?
- Who will carry it out, at which clinic, and what is the full price?
Do not assume that a facial will remove scars, cure a skin condition, strengthen facial muscles or guarantee a particular result. Suitability and the expected benefit need an individual assessment.
