HydraFacial vs Chemical Peel- 4 easy Decisions…So You Can Make A Good Choice
We will go through this together and by the end of this article you will be able to make an easy decision.
What is better for You! HydraFacial vs. Chemical Peel
As you may or may not know……. a HydraFacial treatment and chemical peels are both very popular treatments!
But what we want to know is which facial treatment is best for you.
Let’s start with this.
What are you looking for….. your skin looking dull?
Need to shed some dead skin cells by exfoliating that dull skin of yours? (probably never thought about when you exfoliate you are getting rid of dead skin cells, did ya?).
How about deep cleansing? Your skin oily, some clogged pores?
looking for healthier skin? more youthful skin (I know that’s what I want…healthy skin that glows like the stars in the sky! Ahhh, Imagine).
Both facial treatments can do that. There are some important differences between them.
So let’s see what facial treatment works best for you. We will have your skin glowing like the stars in the sky… the North Star :).
You will stand out among the STARS!
So let’s get into this. The four easy decision makers are…..
Skin type
A HydraFacial treatment works well with all skin types. HydraFacial is gentle so it’s a good choice for sensitive skin.
Chemical peel is a different story.
It’s an invasive treatment.
Even a superficial peel can be harsh, yes it’s a gentle peel but can still irritate your skin.
I would use caution if you do decide to get a chemical peel if you have sensitive skin.
Go to a professional and get a consultation on what is best for your skin type.
Better to be safe than sorry…..
don’t wanna get burnt!
Both a chemical peel and HydraFacial are good for most skin types
but… sensitive skin…not so much when it comes to chemical peels.
Next up we have…..desired outcome!
Skin problems with desired outcome
What aggravating skin problems do you have going on?
Acne, dull skin, dark spots, aging skin (this sucker get’s us all doesn’t it?),fine lines, deep wrinkles, sun damage, skin conditions…..
the list goes on and on!
Where do you fall on that list?
We all have skin problems(you wouldn’t be here if your skin was perfect….right?)
HydraFacial’s really hydrate your skin (this treatment isn’t a basic skin treatment at all) hydrating serums are added to have your skin…
looking and feeling full of life again!
Now chemical peels, while amazing, well let’s say…..dry dry dry!
They dry your skin out.
Let’s say you have dry skin, HydraFacial would be two thumbs up and chemical peels two thumbs down.
Aging skin…both are good!
Major skin problems that need corrective treatment…..
chemical peels work well.
Both work very well on most skin problems but work in different ways (hydrate/dry).
Third in line we have….
the dreaded downtime (or not dreaded, depending on how you look at it).
Downtime
This one here is going to be short and sweet.
Big advantage goes to HydraFacial if you are busy or don’t want downtime.
Depending on the strength of the peel (superficial peels, medium peels or the ‘I’m using up my vacation time to heal up’….deep peel!).
You will have some downtime to binge watch a favorite show.
Read a book or two….you get the point.
A weekend might be do able if the peel is gentle but the downtime goes up from there as the peels get stronger.
So easy decision…downtime or no?
Dealing with severe problematic skin…chemical peel and down time might be right for you.
It all depends on what you skin issue is and how severe.
Let’s keep moving…
And now we have come to easy decision number four.
Tension building……anticipation rising, we have…..cost!
Cost
Now this comes down to a couple of easy decisions as well.
Do you plan on this being a one time thing?
Is it special event or maybe you never tried a peel or facial before? Are you thinking you will invest in your skin moving forward?
If it’s a one time thing I honestly see a HydraFacial being a great value.
You will be glowing bright like the star mentioned earlier after your facial.
Who knows you may love it and do it again another time. A Chemical peel may give you exactly what you need from one peel as well though.
Depending on the severity of your skin problem you may need more sessions to get your desired results.
This will increase cost.
It comes down to what skin issues you are battling and will one treatment solve the problem.
But if you have reached the point in your life where you are tired of looking at your skin issues everyday and want to invest in your skin….
Now this really makes the decision easy…….choose either one. Commit to getting that glowing healthy skin that you deserve!
and problematic skin will be distant memory!!!
