What is the difference between Microdermabrasion & Hydra Facial?

Whenever we go to the SPA for a good and refreshing skin facial, we are provided with plenty of options, and many facial deals offering a complete package for skin treatment and making ourselves feel pampered.

What options we usually get? Skin Whitening facial, Oxygen facial, Herbal facial, lymphatic massage facial, acupuncture facial, and more. What’s the difference between all? Not much, they all generally work same for skin treatments either using chemical, or natural ingredient mixtures, or using machines; but their purpose is different like some facials focus on skin exfoliation, so other focus on skin blemishes, and massaging.


Similarly, there is a thin line of difference between Microdermabrasion and hydra facial, no one is inferior to other, yet they both stand unique and equally important. Let’s learn today what the difference between both is.

What is Microdermabrasion Facial?

This facial procedure involves the use of tiny crystals for skin exfoliation, then it draws out all impurities and debris with the help of using suction. It’s a non-invasive process which doesn’t make any use of chemicals, rather it removes the dead and dry outer layer from the skin surface to expose fresh, healthy skin beneath. It also rejuvenates the surface and turns it into a better brighter complexion.

The microdermabrasion removes skin debris and cleans your pores. From a health perspective, it stimulates blood flow and encourages collagen formation to tone your skin. Some skin experts also recommend Microdermabrasion with Affirm Laser Skin Rejuvenation procedure for further effective results, though this combination makes an expensive treatment, the results are worth investing.
Types of Microdermabrasion

There are two types of microdermabrasion facials;

• Crystal Microdermabrasion 
• Diamond Microdermabrasion 

The first type of facial treatment works in two parts;

• Firstly, a machine uses tiny crystals in order to exfoliate the skin and remove all dead skin cells 
• Then, a vacuum sucks all removed skin cells and debris away 

This process is versatile enough to work on all skin types and colors without causing any effective change in skin color. Unlike other traditional dermabrasion, it’s not a very aggressive procedure, and it recovers skin within no time, yet it can achieve best results, and won’t need any needles or medications to numb the skin.

What is HydraFacial?

I heard one beautician claiming in SPA “I have introduced to Microdermabrasion Facial around 12 years ago, and recently I learned about Hydro / Hydra facial which is amazing, I must say it’s an alternative to the previous one”

Hence, it can be proved here that Hydra facial is an advanced version of Microdermabrasion and is also known as “Wet Microdermabrasion.” It is a medical grade. This process provides quick results without any interruption. It further involves a multi-step process that is completely customizable.

This facial treatment work in four steps including;

• Cleansing 
• Exfoliation

• Hydrates with special serums loaded with antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid 

This process can also be customizable based on candidate’s specific skin type and concerns, as everyone has a different skin due to which this treatment practitioners always offer free consultations to figure out which technique is best for your skin.

For doing the best treatment, it’s imperative to look for cutting-edge hydra peel facial machine that must be equipped with the latest advanced features, this will also help in making skin completely rejuvenated and glowing
