The main difference between Hydrafacial® and microdermabrasion is that Hydrafacial® is a gentler treatment that uses a variety or serums to ride impurities and hydrate the skin, whist being suitable for all skin types, while microdermabrasion is a deeper exfoliating treatment helping to remove the top layer of the skin, revealing glowy skin underneath.
Both treatments address different skin concerns, and depending on what your skin needs, one treatment could be better for your overall skin health than the other.

In the meantime, let’s dive into the details of these two treatments to give you an idea of the differences and benefits of these two treatments.
What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a tried-and-true skincare technique that involves exfoliating the outermost layer of the skin. This process gently exfoliates the skin by passing fine, crystals suspended in a highly controlled vacuum. This process can remove 2–5 layers of dead skin,revealing a refreshed and rejuvenated complexion underneath. Additionally, it facilitates lymphatic drainage, which helps to flush out undesirable toxins and increase blood flow, both of which help to reoxygenate and nourish the skin, giving it a healthier appearance.
This treatment is perfect for reducing fine lines, minor scars, wrinkles, and age spots. While microdermabrasion relies on physical exfoliation rather than chemical exfoliation, it’s still gentle enough to be used on the face, neck, chest, back, and hands.
The Perks of Microdermabrasion
Enhanced Skin Texture: Say goodbye to rough spots as microdermabrasion refines the texture of the skin.
Diminished Fine Lines: Watch as those fine lines and wrinkles fade away, leaving behind a youthful glow.
Pore Refinement: Reduce the appearance of enlarged pores for a more flawless appearance.
Microdermabrasion Recovery
microdermabrasion requires little recovery time, causes no pain, and is painless. It is a very safe treatment that works well for all skin types.
It is a multipurpose treatment that works for everyone because it can be used to treat dry, patchy skin as well as skin types that are prone to acne, congestion, and oiliness.
