Hydrafacial vs. Hydrofacial: What’s the Difference?
You may be familiar with both HydrAfacial and HydrOfacial, depending on where you’ve been treated in the past. What are the big differences between the two facials? Is one better than the other? In short, Hydrafacial is a registered trademark with a patented hydrodermabrasion system. Hydrofacial is what a similar experience may be called if that particular provider does not have the Hydrafacial system in-office.
Hydrafacial has 80+ patents on their systems, and is a global leader in skin health technology. This is the only device that uses Vortex-Fusion Technology that gently exfoliates the skin while simultaneously driving active ingredients back into the skin for an immediate and gratifying glow (yes, please)!
How It Works
There are three steps involved in a full hydrafacial treatment to include:
Cleanse: Deeply cleanses and exfoliates with a gentle peel to uncover a fresh , new layer of skin
Extract: Removes impurities from pores with a gentle and painless suction
Hydrate: Infuses the skin’s surface with nourishing ingredients completely customized for the needs of your skin
The Hydrafacial removes dead skin cells that have built up on the surface of the skin and clears blocked pores with a unique vacuum technology that is gentle on the skin and suitable for even the most sensitive skin!
Replenishing the skin and providing hydration is where this facial gets its name. It allows for enhanced absorption of nourishing serums back into the skin.
Benefits
