HydraFacials and microneedling are very different skin treatments. Microneedling involves gently penetrating the surface of the skin to stimulate increased production of collagen and elastin, making it a very effective option for those looking for more intensive anti-aging treatments, whereas HydraFacials use a much gentler technique that clears the surface of the skin as well as the pores using a device that is similar to a vacuum. Both are considered to be skin resurfacing treatments that allow for increased absorption and penetration of high-quality topical products when applied during treatment, but HydraFacials are better for use on sensitive or dry skin or for those who have more general skin concerns. Microneedling is still a safe and very effective facial option, but is not suitable for use on sensitive skin or those with active acne.
