In the pursuit of healthy, vibrant skin, countless skincare treatments have emerged in the beauty industry. Microdermabrasion and hydrodermabrasion are skincare treatments that aim to improve the texture and appearance of the skin. However, they differ regarding the exfoliation methods used and the additional benefits they provide. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of hydrodermabrasion and microdermabrasion treatments, their ins and outs, and why they have become go-to treatments for individuals seeking a rejuvenated and glowing complexion. We will also highlight how Glownar’s Truhydro 2-in-1 combines both these incredibly popular treatments into one, simple yet sophisticated device.
Both hydrodermabrasion and microdermabrasion are excellent options to cleanse and exfoliate skin effectively, but they do so with different tips and technologies. Microdermabrasion utilizes abrasive crystals or wands with diamond tips to remove dead skin cells and impurities. Abrasive crystals, however, are not deemed the preferred method due to the potential for irritating skin, limited control of exfoliation depth, and inconsistent results due to variability in the kinds of crystals used.
For these reasons, diamond tips have grown in popularity as a far better choice for clients. This may be attributed to several factors, including:
While diamond dermabrasion is an excellent method of exfoliating, it is taken a step further when combined with the hydrating power of water and water-based serums.
Hydrodermabrasion is a similar treatment that offers the same benefits as microdermabrasion but with added hydration and moisturizing elements offered by the infusion of water-based serums into the skin. Compared to the exfoliation method of microdermabrasion, hydrodermabrasion utilizes a controlled stream of water, often combined with oxygen and nourishing serums, to exfoliate the skin. The water is sprayed onto the skin's surface, effectively loosening dead skin cells and debris as vacuum pressure in the handpiece simultaneously drains out the waste products from the skin. Plus, it has excellent lymphatic drainage benefits as the motions of the massage assist the body in removing toxins and debloating the face.
The depth of exfoliation also varies between microdermabrasion and hydrodermabrasion. Microdermabrasion provides a deeper exfoliation as its diamond tips effectively target and remove impurities. On the other hand, hydrodermabrasion is still an extremely effective exfoliant through the mechanism of action of a pressurized fluid stream removing superficial dead skin cells and debris. For this reason, hydrodermabrasion is a preferred treatment over microdermabrasion for individuals with sensitive skin who may not be able to tolerate manual exfoliation with abrasive diamond tips.
Hydrodermabrasion is an incredibly popular option that not only cleanses the skin but infuses it with essential active ingredients from serums. Tailor treatments to clients and their skin care needs, whether they are seeking to relieve acne, brighten skin, or diminish the signs of aging. Infusing ingredients such as helpful peptides, salicylic acid, or Vitamin C in your hydrodermabrasion treatments can boost collagen production, improve skin tone and texture, and enhance overall skin health. Additionally, since the exfoliation process of hydrodermabrasion removes the outer layer of dead skin cells, it promotes better absorption of skincare products. By infusing serums during this time, the skin is more receptive to the beneficial ingredients, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin layers and work more effectively. Aqualina Serums are one excellent choice of serums designed to deliver targeted nourishment to the skin, addressing specific skin concerns with only the purest, best ingredients.
