Hydrafacial vs. Medifacial: The Science Behind the Glow


At Mesoderma®, clients often ask: “Which is better – a Hydrafacial or a Medifacial?”
The answer lies in your skin’s needs, lifestyle, and the science behind each treatment. Both offer glowing results—but the path they take is slightly different.
Let’s break it down.
At Mesoderma®, clients often ask: “Which is better – a Hydrafacial or a Medifacial?”
The answer depends on your skin type, goals, and treatment history. Both facials aim to rejuvenate the skin and restore radiance, but they use different methods and technologies. Let’s dive into the science behind each treatment and help you make an informed decision.
What Is a Hydrafacial?
Hydrafacial is a globally renowned, US FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection in one seamless procedure.
The Science:
- Hydradermabrasion: Uses water and suction to gently remove dead skin cells and unclog pores.
- Vortex Fusion Technology: Delivers potent serums (hyaluronic acid, peptides, antioxidants) deep into the skin.
- Custom Booster Serums: Address concerns like fine lines, dullness, or pigmentation.
- Painless Extraction: Vacuum-based suction eliminates blackheads and impurities without trauma.
Ideal For:
- Oily or acne-prone skin
- Dull or dehydrated complexion
- Fine lines & wrinkles
- Clogged pores or blackheads
- Event-ready glow with zero downtime
What Is a Medifacial?
A Medifacial (Medical Facial) is a dermatologist-designed facial that goes beyond relaxation. It's a therapeutic, condition-specific treatment plan customized for your skin.
The Science:
· Clinical-Grade Ingredients: AHAs, BHAs, enzymes, hyaluronic acid, peptides, niacinamide, etc.
· Add-On Technologies: LED therapy, ultrasound, electroporation, or light chemical peels.
· Skin Issue Focused: Each Medifacial is tailored for acne, pigmentation, rosacea, or sensitive skin.
· Dermatologist-Led Customization: No two Medifacials are alike—they're created post-consultation based on your skin diagnosis.
Ideal For:
· Acne and active breakouts
· Pigmentation or uneven skin tone
· Sensitized, reactive skin
· Brides and grooms-to-be seeking deeper skin correction
· Regular skin maintenance with long-term benefits
