Hydrofacial vs Traditional Facial: Key Differences
Hydrofacial technology represents a quantum leap forward in skincare, offering deeper cleansing, better hydration, and more dramatic results than traditional facial treatments.
Traditional Facial: Manual Extraction & Surface Treatment
Traditional facials typically involve manual cleansing, steam, extraction, massage, and mask application. While relaxing, they're limited by:
- Superficial cleansing (surface only)
- Painful manual extraction
- Limited product penetration
- Inconsistent results
- Risk of scarring from extraction
Hydrofacial: Multi-Step Vortex Technology
The Hydrofacial Process:
Step 1: Cleanse & Exfoliate
Vortex-Fusion technology removes dead skin cells and debris without harsh scrubbing.
Step 2: Extract & Hydrate
Automated painless extraction removes impurities while simultaneously infusing skin with hydrating serums.
Step 3: Fuse & Protect
Antioxidants and peptides are delivered deep into skin for maximum absorption.
