The Difference Between HydraFacial & Chemical Peel: Which One Is For You?

Summary Overview

By reading this article, you’ll be able to learn the following:

There is a significant growth of non-invasive aesthetic treatments in the United States as of today. People are more likely to give time for their aesthetic features and want to improve themselves overall. The concept of having little to no downtime is one of the why it is continuously growing. Most especially for people who have busy schedules and just want a quick and easy treatment. Also, these treatments don’t just correct aging problems or other skin problems, it also prevents it from getting severe and keeps their skin youthful.

There are a lot of treatments that are gaining popularity nowadays such as Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasion, Dermaplanning, Laser Resurfacing, and other injectables as well.

But before undergoing any of this, you should consult with your aesthetician first to assess your skin’s current condition and prevent any reaction that may come.

The is a non-invasive facial treatment with direct to point steps treatment which works by giving immediate results with no irritation or downtime. It uses a patented device called the Vortex-Fusion System. The treatment usually takes 30 to 45 minutes and involves 3 main stages. This is best for people with busy schedules and looking for a skin treatment that could provide them 3 in 1 treatment alone.

The first step would be cleanse & peel. In this step, it gently clears the top layer of dead skin cells and improves the pores. Second would be, extract and hydrate. Think of it as painless deep-pore cleaning. It removes blackheads and any impurities while moisturisingyour skin. And lastly, fuse & protect. After removing dead skin cells and other impurities, it’s time to give back nourishment and protection to your skin. You’ll instantly see visible glow and hydration after the procedure.

While Hydrafacial works with almost all skin types and tones, it is still important to know the type of your skin and what specific skin problems you want to target before trying Hydrafacial. If any of these skin types matches your skin, then Hydrafacial might be worth considering for you:

Effective & professional doctor-led HydraFacial & Chemical Peelat our central London clinic

Verified Before & After

Verified Before & After

A is one of the leading aesthetic treatment resurfacing that uses a chemical solution to remove damaged outer layers of skin. It works by controlled injury forces the skin to regenerate, which results in a newer, smoother, and healthier skinIts peel solution is composed of Glycolic Acid & Salicylic Acid. When the solution is applied, these acids chemically dissolve that holds the dead, damaged skin cells to the healthy skin underneath. With this process, it causes your skin to intentionally peel over the next few days after the treatment. This procedure is simpler than the Hydrafacial but the post-procedure is where you’d see visible results.

At first, your skin is thoroughly cleansed and wiped down with a prep solution to remove all surface oils and any other product in your face. The next step would be applying the chemical solution often through a brush or cotton swab. After a few minutes, the peel is either rinsed off with water or they will apply a special neutralising solution to stop the acid’s action. During the post-care, a calming ointment should be applied to your skin and make sure to follow any necessary post-care from your clinician.

Chemical peels are best for people who:

While both treatments’ goal is to refresh your skin, they can achieve it in two completely different ways with different results and experiences.

They differ with how it’s done. Hydrafacial uses a specialised machine and a specialised, swirling tip (vortex) to physically cleanse pores and simultaneously provide beneficial serums deep into the skin while Chemical Peel uses liquid acid solution manually applied to the skin. The acid then melts holding dead skin cells, forcing them to peel off.

For Hydrafacial it feels gentle, hydrated, and massage feeling to the skin while for Chemical Peel, others might experience intense and uncomfortable, lasting only for the duration the acid is on the skin.

Hydrafacial uses hydrating serums and gentle acids while Chemical Peels use aggressive acids for targeting deeper and corrective action. When it comes to downtime, Hydrafacial has no downtime while Chemical Peel has because of the peeling afterwards.

If you are planning to get these two treatments on the same day, you might want to consult your clinician first because typically it’s not feasible. Instead, these could be sequences strategically so your skin will also be prepared and have enough time to recover. Ideally, you can have Hydrafacial at least 1 to 2 weeks before your Chemical peel. This is to allow the HydraFacial’s extraction and gentle exfoliation to remove the thickest layer of dead skin and deeply clears the pores.

Then afterwards, you can now have your Chemical Peel after your skin has recovered from the previous treatment. By removing the surface debris first through Hydrafacial, the chemical solution can penetrate the skin more evenly.

Whether you choose Hydrafacial or Chemical Peel, it would still be best to consult with your clinician first to fully understand which one is best for your skin.

If you have sensitive skin, Hydrafacial is recommended since it uses gentle ingredients and hydrating serums.

You could have HydraFacial every 4–6 weeks while with Chemical Peel it depends on depth but more often every 4–6 weeks)

Yes but you cannot have 2 treatments within the same day. You should have an interval so that your skin will have enough time to recover.
