Introduction: Two Powerful Skin Treatments, One Important Decision
When it comes to glowing, clear skin, both Hydrafacial and Chemical Peels are top choices. But which one suits your skin, lifestyle, and goals better? In this article, we’ll break down the pros, cons, and unique benefits of each, so you can make the best decision for your skin.
Chemical peels involve applying a safe chemical solution to your skin to remove damaged outer layers. They improve texture, reduce acne scars, and boost collagen.
Types of Chemical Peels
Light Peel: Glycolic acid, lactic acid (mild exfoliation)
Medium Peel: TCA-based for acne, pigmentation
Deep Peel: Phenol-based, for deep wrinkles and scarring
Benefits and Considerations
Great for: hyperpigmentation, deep acne scars, sun damage
Downtime: 2–7 days
Not ideal for very sensitive skin
Hydrafacial is a non-invasive, multi-step treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, and hydrates the skin with nourishing serums—all in one session.
