Salon vs medical-grade HydraFacial
What sets a medical-grade HydraFacial apart from a salon facial. Below: what the treatment involves and what to expect.
HydraFacial vs salon facial: what Dr Rida Tahir says
Dr Rida Tahir explains how a medical-grade HydraFacial differs from a salon facial. Many salon facials use bleach and skin polishers, which can irritate the skin and lead to pigmentation or burns.
A HydraFacial at Cutera is a non-invasive treatment done by a doctor in steps: cleansing and exfoliation to lift surface impurities, a light chemical peel, then serums that keep your skin hydrated. She says the glow shows straight away with no downtime, and that it helps control oil, clears clogged pores and blackheads, and evens out pigmentation.
