Facials are a dime a dozen, but no facials have received more hype than Medi-Facials and HydraFacials. Both promise you glowy, refreshed skin, but they work to deliver it in significantly different ways. You’ve likely asked yourself which one to try, or if you should try either, so read on, and we’ll share with you the difference and what’s ideal for your skin issues.
At The Glam Skin Clinic, we like to learn ahead of time so that we can renew your skin. So let’s begin.
A HydraFacial is a high-tech facial renewal treatment that cleans, exfoliates, and hydrates your skin all in a single office visit. It uses a high-tech device with a patented vacuum tip to remove dirt, dead skin, and excess oil painlessly from your skin while simultaneously soaking your skin in hydrating and moisturizing serums.
Picture a face-lift with a kick of energy that illuminates your skin with an instant radiance without redness or downtime. You depart the clinic with decidedly smoother, brighter, and more hydrated-looking skin, prepared to face the day with renewed self-confidence.
The process is extremely soft on almost any skin type and even sensitive skin, and can be customized to treat concerns like dryness, dullness, textural concerns, and wrinkles. Most clients are enormous lovers of HydraFacials because it is instant gratification and can be done in a lunch break.
A Medi-Facial (medical facial) is where it gets serious. A Medi-Facial is done with a dermatologist’s guidance, using medical-grade equipment and products, as opposed to a standard spa facial. It’s not coddling your skin, it’s fixing it.
Medi-Facials are individually formulated with a particular concern in mind, like acne, pigmentation, tanning, premature ageing, or post-inflammatory spots. Depending on your skin type, it may involve treatment like light chemical peeling, microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, LED, or microcurrents. Every step is formulated to deliver noticeable, long-term benefits and not a temporary glow.
Since Medi-Facials have active products and medical tools, they can deliver more intense renewal, improving texture, clarity, and collagen growth in the long term. It’s the go-to of a person who desires corrective skin care versus surface glow.
The difference is one of purpose and intensity. Choose HydraFacial if you want instant hydration, radiant skin, and a full facelift without downtime. HydraFacial is all about hydrating and cleaning your skin to get that rich just-had-a-facial glow.
Medi-Facials are actually more therapeutic, though. They get deeper to fix damage, rebalance, and improve skin health at the cellular level. They will typically have some more intense exfoliation or active treatment, and occasionally a recovery time thereafter (such as mild redness or peeling) based on what type of facial is being administered.
A second is customization. HydraFacials may be customized by altering the serum used, e.g., an antioxidant booster for a healthy glow or a clearing serum for acne skin. Medi-Facials are more customized; your dermatologist analyzes your skin and then formulates a strategy which may involve combining many different techniques simultaneously.
If you have dry, dull, tired skin and simply want a quick face lift to rush out the door to that night on the town or event, then a HydraFacial is perfect. It’s calming, there is no recovery time, and it gives you that instant glow you crave. Treat yourself every few weeks to have radiant skin all year round.
But if you have more serious types of skin issues like acne, pigmentation, uneven tone, or aging, the Medi-Facial may be the smart buy. Since it is being performed under professional guidance using professional products, it addresses the root cause of skin issues, not their symptoms.
Together, overall use creates the best result. Certain of The Glam Skin Clinic clients start with HydraFacials to prepare and purify the skin, and then apply Medi-Facials subsequently for healing therapy. Combined approach keeps the skin well-hydrated and moisturized, and healed and repaired from the inside out.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all skin at The Glam Skin Clinic. Each face is unique and so should each treatment. That’s why we begin with a full skin consultation before we even recommend a facial. Our trained dermatologists take your skin type, issues you’re dealing with right now, and goals into account to devise a plan tailored just to you.
Whichever we choose, HydraFacial or Medi-Facial, we use only FDA-approved machines and the highest-quality ingredients for visible, long-term results. Our experts make each treatment an oasis, but medically precise, relaxing but truly effective.
