Instead of spraying particles onto the patient\u2019s skin, a pen with a diamond tip is scraped along the surface of the skin like sandpaper. The two techniques have similar effects, but you can talk to your technician about the process they use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"hydrodermabrasion\"><\/span><strong>Hydrodermabrasion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another treatment that\u2019s gaining popularity is&nbsp;hydrodermabrasion. Sometimes referred to as a \u201cHydraFacial,\u201d the process uses a stream of water to exfoliate dead cells rather than a physical abrasive.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.trilogymedicalcenter.com\/blog\/hydrodermabrasion-vs-microdermabrasion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">According to the Trilogy Medical Center<\/a>, it works similarly to microdermabrasion, but with the added benefit of improving circulation and hydrating skin. The process is gentler than microdermabrasion, and may be more fitting for patients with sensitive skin.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/28123146\/image-2-300x450-1.jpg\" alt=\"Hydrodermabrasion\" class=\"wp-image-42371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/28123146\/image-2-300x450-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/28123146\/image-2-300x450-1-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"dermabrasion\"><\/span><strong>Dermabrasion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Microdermabrasion is not to be confused with&nbsp;dermabrasion, a more aggressive procedure that\u2019s \u201cgenerally only safe for people with fair skin,\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/beauty\/cosmetic-procedures-dermabrasion#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to WebMD<\/a>.

It\u2019s a noninvasive procedure that helps encourage cell turnover and improves the effectiveness of your daily skincare routine.
