Your skin is constantly producing new skin cells and shedding the old ones. Most of the time, we don’t even notice it happening! But patches of dry skin and flakiness are signs that your skin needs a little assistance.
At Entre Nous Aesthetics, a lot of our patients ask us about HydraFacial vs microdermabrasion for their skin concerns. Both of these treatments provide deep exfoliation to support your skin’s natural turnover rate and keep you looking healthy and glowing!
HydraFacial vs microdermabrasion: the differences
Exfoliation vs Extraction
Both treatments exfoliate the skin. HydraFacial uses chemical exfoliation, while microdermabrasion uses physical exfoliation. This means that microdermabrasion uses a tool to scrub your skin, but HydraFacial uses a combination of salicylic and glycolic acid solutions similar to a chemical peel.
HydraFacial goes one step beyond microdermabrasion by including extractions in the process. This goes beyond the surface of your skin to gently vacuum out your pores.
Nourishing serums
We use DermaSweep in our office, which is a microdermabrasion device that also applies hydrating serums to your skin. HydraFacial provides serums and also has additional boosters that can target specific skin conditions like acne and wrinkles.
Immediate results
