No. A HydraFacial is different from microdermabrasion and even chemical peels. Microdermabrasion relies on manual extractions, whereas a HydraFacial utilizes a handheld vacuum tip to suction out debris, dead skin, and oil from the pores. The technology used in a HydraFacial allows for a deeper clean than what can be accomplished with more traditional extractions. There’s also no peeling with a HydraFacial as there can be with a chemical peel. Also, not all skin tones are suitable for chemical peels, but they are all compatible with a HydraFacial.
