differences between microdermabrasion and hydrafacial

Microdermabrasion and hydrafacials are two popular treatments for improving the complexion. Both treatments work by removing dead skin cells and debris from the surface of the skin, revealing a brighter, more youthful appearance. However, there are some key differences between microdermabrasion and hydrafacials. Microdermabrasion uses a diamond-tipped wand to exfoliate the skin, while hydrafacials use a handheld device to deliver a vortex of water and serum to the face. Hydrafacials also includes a step for extractions, which helps to remove blackheads and other impurities from the pores. As a result, hydrafacials tend to be more effective than microdermabrasion for treating congested pores and acne. However, microdermabrasion may be better for reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Both treatments can be performed in a spa or salon setting, and most people see noticeable results after just one session.
