A side-by-side comparison of HydraFacial, chemical peels and carbon peel — who each suits, downtime, number of sessions and results.

HydraFacial

A multi-step cleanse, extraction and hydration treatment. Choose it when you want an immediate glow before an event or regular maintenance for congested, dehydrated skin. There is no downtime.

Chemical peels

Chosen acids remove the outer layer of dead cells. Peels are the stronger choice for pigmentation, tanning, acne and marks. Some peels cause light flaking for a few days, and a series of sessions gives the best result.

Carbon peel

A carbon layer and a laser work together to deep-clean pores and reduce oiliness. It suits oily, acne-prone skin with enlarged pores and has little to no downtime.

Frequently asked questions

Can I combine these treatments?

Yes. Many plans alternate treatments — for example, peels for pigmentation with a HydraFacial before an event. The dermatologist will space them safely.
